Winner No. 1 of May: First Essence by Mizon

Theme: Korean cosmetics


What is it?

SweetAwards Maio 2024

First Essence by Korean brand Mizon has a toner-like formula and really transforms the skin! This essence contains a high percentage (94.5%) of Galactomyces yeast, with a moisturizing formula that provides several benefits, including hydration, antioxidant action and protection against environmental aggressors. In addition, it lightens the skin thanks to niacinamide and the formula, enriched with glutamic and hyaluronic acid, combines to offer the skin a veil of moisture, as well as strengthening the skin barrier. Skin is clear and supple, glowing with health!

The reason why distillers' hands look so young and firm is because of the galactomyces (natural yeast) present in malt yeast. This yeast makes the skin clean and clear, improves firmness and leaves it looking healthy. The composition is similar to the skin's natural moisturizing factors, highly dermotropic (with a high affinity for the skin), moisturizes for a long time and will make your skin glow!

Mizon is the result of the union of a group of scientists and researchers from one of South Korea's most prestigious beauty companies, with the aim of developing a cosmetics brand accessible to all and formulated with excellent ingredients.


Who can use it?

Any skin type, in the morning and/or evening routine.


How can I use it?

An essence can be applied in two ways:

  1. Directly onto the hands, warm and apply without rubbing into the face: this is the usual way Korean women apply an essence. The essence can be applied after the toner (before the serum) or instead of the toner
  2. Distribute on a cotton pad or compress and then gently apply to the face: always without any sudden movements. This is ideal for those in a hurry or for those who prefer to use the essence instead of toner. When you apply a product with a cotton pad or compress, you are performing a slight physical exfoliation.

A toner and an essence are different products with different functions. However, you can incorporate both products into your skincare routine to get the benefits of both products. You can layer the two products on top of each other or use them alternately.


Winner No. 2 of May: Relief Sun by Beauty of Joseon

Theme: Korean cosmetics


What is it?

SweetAwards Maio 2024

An incredible sunscreen that also moisturizes like a moisturizing lotion, without the scent of a sunscreen, cosmetically impeccable and one of the best sunscreens I've ever used! Specially developed for sensitive skin, this sunscreen helps soothe and soften the skin, reduces inflammation and redness thanks to the rice fermentation filtrate, rich in vitamins B, C and E, amino acids and minerals.

It is a sunscreen with chemical filters formulated with soothing and illuminating ingredients. It is enriched with 30% rice extract and probiotics (hence its name: Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics) which deeply moisturize, nourish and rebalance/calm the skin. The texture is creamy (and can even replace the two steps - moisturizing and protection), light, provides excellent spreading and leaves the skin gliding (excellent finish for later make-up application), without leaving white marks. It's a sunscreen that doesn't feel like a sunscreen, but rather a care product, which melts easily into the skin and offers the necessary hydration and nourishment.

It has broad-spectrum sun protection against UVA and UVB radiation, with very high UVA protection (defined by the acronym PA++++) especially important for those concerned about the signs of skin ageing.


Who can use it?

Any skin type (sensitive and very sensitive skin will love it!) in the morning routine.


How to use?

As the last step in your morning skin routine. Apply the equivalent of 2 fingers of product, massaging it into the skin (for example in layers), on areas susceptible to sun exposure (face, neck, décolleté, ears, hands). Even if you apply a large amount several times, this protector doesn't feel sticky and gives a fresh finish like a light moisturizer. It's fantastic!
