Asian Skin care and SPF

After reading Saaammage's review of the glorious things she found in NY (click here) I was terribly jealous. Surprisingly I live in the city with the most tourists and all (thanks Disneyworld) but sadly i can barely find any stores that carry Asian beauty skincare/make-up lines.
What's so special about it you may ask? Well a lot of asians (I am half) have very sensitive skin. Some have very oily skin due to the weather and some burn too easily.

My favorite thing that asian skincare has to offer has to be their extensive lines of SPF skincare. We do not realize it but having sun protection is as important as drinking 8 glasses of water/day. Asians love taking care of their skin and keeping it fair and preventing sun damage. Being that I am living in Florida now, this is really my cup of tea. I am on the hunt... I understand that most of them are now available on-line but to be honest, I always prefer to see the product before buying and not have to pay for shipping.


I did find one grocery mart that had some beauty products but I only managed to like 1 item out of the line.
Kosé Moisture Mild White
Pretty Packaging...bottle is made of glass o_o
I've seen this product on many sites like sasa.com and was always intrigued. I haven't found any reviews online as yet so I thought I'd try it out and see if it's any good. But this one is one of the new formulas that contains Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) which helps control acne and even out your skin tone. I'm excited to see how this product is going to work... or will it work at all? Will definitely add in the review in a week!
Aside that I was going through Saks the other day (mmm...shoes) and stumbled across the Clinique beauty bar and saw this. I was excited to see that it was at least SPF50 AND oil-free!! So we'll see how it goes but so far, so good... not as greasy as other facial sun-screen I've tried.

Clinique SPF50 Sun Face Cream - $18
Will be going back to this topic after a week with a full force review!
