What do your skin needs when the weather is unstable? Hydration, it is! I live in Indonesia when the weathers are sunny, cloudy, and rainy. The humidity level in Indonesia, especially in Jakarta, is so high (I google it and it's almost always higher than 50%). Based on iderma.com, high humidity levels can affect skin leading to excess sweat and oil productions to the point where pores become clogged, resulting in acne breakouts. It can promotes the growth of bacteria and mold resulting in skin irritation and redness. I experience this a lot, clogged pores? ✔️. Acne? ✔️. So if that's the case what can we do to help unclogged the pores and prevent breakouts? One of the best ways to overcome high humidity is to cleanse properly, exfoliate, and hydrate!
StyleKorean is selling this "Feed Your Skin" box consists of several great products to "feed" your skin, that's why they named it. There are some products from several brands like Hyggee, Abib, Pyunkang Yul, and SRB. They are all Korean brands and I'm super excited to try out of my curiosity because I heard good things about them! So, let's take a look at it!!
1. SRB Stabilized Rice Bran Enzyme Powder Wash (buy here)
It is a mild, fragrance-free, and has a pH of 5.5 which is good for skin on its natural state. SRB features the rice bran extract, which creates a soothing effect to skin. The rice bran extract is described as "stabilized" because of the proprietary formula actually managed to stabilize the active nutrients in the bran after extraction. It is suitable for all skin types even sensitive skin. I love how it doesn't stripe my moisture and dry out my skin.
Talking about the packaging, it comes in a hard plastic bottle, it's not too big remembering it's only 60 grams. But I find the downside is the opening hole is too big so you need extra careful when pouring or it will be too much stuff on your hand. It easily melts when meeting the water but sometimes it could be a mess hahaha. I haven't seen any brightening effect (I know rice is good for brightens the skin) but it's great as a mild face wash and it's now become my favorite morning cleanser!
Ingredients?
Zea Mays (Corn) Starch, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Extract, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Seed Extract, Pollen Extract, Allantoin, Collagen, Betaine, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Sorbitol, Isopropyl Prlmitate, Asocorbyl Palmitate, Titanium Dioxide (CI77891), Citric Acid, Disodium EDTA, Papain, Fragrance
Volume: 60 gram
How to Use?
1. Wet skin with lukewarm water, add a small amount of water to your hand, and dispense about 1 gram of product into your palm.
2. Work powder into a foam by rubbing hands together.
3. Apply to skin and massage using circular motions. Rinse with water.
2. Pyunkang Yul 3 Step Mask Pack (buy here)
It is a 3-step mask pack which consist of Peeling Gel, Essence Toner mask, and Balancing Gel. It targets mild peeling, natural balancing, and intensive moisturizing. I find this mask pack very convenient when you're travelling since it has products you need to feed your skin during travel. They suppose to work together moisturize and make skin soft and supple. I actually haven't tried this mask because my skin has been acting up like crazy so I avoid using it and until this time (the day I post this) I'm still having my acne :(
Volume: 1 box of 5 pack
How to Use?
1. Apply adequate amount of Peeling Gel on wet face along with your skin texture to remove skin waste and sebum, and wash off.
2. Take the mask sheet full with the nutrients of essence toner and take off after 10~20 minutes.
3. Apply adequate amount of Balancing Gel and gently tap on the face until it is fully absorbed.
Okay, so inside the box there are two sheet masks, first is the Pyunkang Yul as mask pack, and the second is Hyggee as a regular sheet mask. But Hyggee sheet mask is also interesting because it fasten around your ear to lift the skin, the sheet which is fixed around the ears, gives an additional face lift by drawing the skin up from the jaw to forehead. Since it targets to firm and tighten the skin, it contains Hydrolized Collagen and Camellia Japonica too. This is so good for sagging, loose, and dry skin, and also for those who have puffy face in the morning!
Well if you follow me on Instagram you may know when was exactly I tried this product, I will put my thoughts here. The sheet has a logo texture and it's a bit thick. There's only a tiny amount of essence left but it smells good. Actually it was my first time trying this kind of mask and I felt a bit uncomfortable. It was kinda weird and itchy around my neck. But after 15 minutes, I felt my skin was great and hydrated although I didn't see any tightening effect. And it did calm my skin, a little. Conclusion? It's a good mask but not my best find nor my fave.

A great light moisturizer that suits all skin types and my combination skin is really loving it! Let's talking from the texture, it is like gooey slimy (remember COSRX Snail Essence? Its texture kinda similar) but it's thicker and the colour is cloudy, the good thing is my skin absorbs really quick. It doesn't leave uncomfortable sticky feeling so I still consider good as makeup base. What I notice after several days of using it, my skin is more stable, moisturized yet hydrated at the same time. It seems like the Hyggee Essence lock all my moisture and keep my skin in a good condition. This is my go-to moisturizer everytime I feel like my skin needs moisture and also this is perfect as my day moisturizer! Seriously, I am so happy finding this essence as it's that GOOD!!!!
It becomes part of my daily routine and since I keep my routine simple yet effective, I only use toner and moisturizer. This essence does great job and it can replaced my previous cream hahaha. You guys need to try it, it's perfect for combination skin.

It is a moisturizing cream that resolves the drying process of your skin. It penetrates deeply into the skin and control the inner skin tension. By using "Polymer Network System", this cream moisturizes deeply and provides nutritional benefits the skin needs while providing a stable delivery from the deepest part of skin to the most outer layer. It is packed in an aluminium tube to minimize the exposure of bacteria and keeping the ingredients safe and contained. The packaging is very sleek and minimal, covered in white colour from box to the tube.
ABIB Creme is actually divide into two types, the white one (Hydration Creme) and the black one (Hydration Gel). The black one is designed for oily skin while the white one suits dry skin but I'm just hoping it works well on my combination skin haha. The cream itself is odorless, there's no fragrance my nose can detect and this is the good thing because it will suit for sensitive skin too! But in my opinion, this cream feels rich and I can feel emollient-y, I guess it's truly better for drier skin than my skin. But I do notice if you're only using a small amount to the face it will absorbed faster and also doesn't feel heavy, so you might note that if you're gonna use it! It contains several oils that will help moisturize your skin and the good thing is it does not break me out.

I never expect this hand cream will smell heavenly! Oh my gosh, this smell really good and it feels like I'm wearing perfume! Well, maybe it will be too strong for some people but I enjoy so much using this hand cream. This hand cream is a collaboration between ABIB and Kirsh, a women's apparel brand that represent young people with new observation and creation. The packaging is an aluminium tube wrapped with pink leather. It is described on the website that this hand cream's aromatic fragrance is from white iris and cold spicy its like scent of galliac and cedarwood which offers a refreshing delicate new comfort. I can't describe any smell and I know fragrance is something more personal so yeah, but I like this smell hahaha. My hand is not dry so I can't say any significant effect but it helps moisten and soften my skin. Getting yourself this hand cream is a great choice, it is pretty big so it will last long and comes with an affordable price.

I personally think this package would be great for those who have dehydrated skin since the products are all focused on hydrate and moisturize, it will help you skin barrier and also refresh your skin! Thank you so much StyleKorean for providing this, I hope this review is helpful :)
*PS: This review is based on my personal experience, all opinions are not influenced by the brand. But again, YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary).
