I really like this article! At first I was overwhelmed by the various steps everybody suggested for following an asian skincare routine. Then I realized exactly what you wrote: give your skin what it needs, no more, no less.
Now I'm trying Hada Labo lotions, an DHC oil cleanser and a foam by Its skin. It is not time consuming and you really feel a difference! :)
I love Hada Labo products! I haven't heard of Its Skin before, but I'll definitely check them out.
