Favorite Skin Food products
Skin Food is another popular cosmetics (화장품 - hwajangpum) shop in Korea. It’s a little bit pricier than The Face Shop but they do have better products, IMO. The company is endorsed by actress and former Fin KL member Sung Yu Ri. You may remember her from the drama “Snow Queen” where she played the role of Bora, Hyun Bin’s character’s love interest.
I prefer Skin Food’s Mushroom BB Cream ($12) better than The Face Shop’s Quick n Clean Oil Free BB Cream. I love its scent and it has SPF 20. I also like their White Grape powder pact ($12) in 23. When I last visited the store, I also bought their Grain cleansing foam (around $6), brown eyeliner and peach pink lipliner.
I really prefer The Face Shop’s freebies. They don’t give as much freebie in Skin Food but it’s okay. I get to experiment with their make-ups (but Laneige still wins with their trial make-up counter). I just love that these two stores sell not-so-pricey items. I need not worry even if our cabinet knobs are broken and my son constantly play with my things. Nope, he doesn’t put on my make-up but he likes to open and close my compact.

lol, your son sounds so cute. When will we get to see a video of him instead of still shots? =P
I like products that offer sun protection, since the sun does so much damage to the skin…

Oh. I didn’t know that SkinfOOD is Korean owned. Hmm.I think I saw one boutique here in Sm North. I haven’t really tried buying from the store. I think it’s as expensive as Face Shop here. Perhaps I’ll try it soon. How about Elianto? I saw an Elianto store here. I’m not raelly sure though if this is Korean too. And also, have you heard of Eleana? It’s a natural and organic skin product fast becoming famouse here in the Philippines. I tried using their products. really smells so yummy!

^^ I’m not sure about Elianto. You got me curious.

@ sarah
im not sure if an elianto product line really exist in korea but they definitely repacked korean products. i’m using their green tea facial wash and scrub coz i ran out of my DEOPROCE grean tea facial wash (which we buy from a totally korean culture-popped boutique in baguio city. Deoproce was formerly endorsed by Song Hye-Kyo). Deoproce is really effective.
you can also try VOV cosmetics and facial skin care products. they have a stall at sm north edsa’s watsons-department store and at trinoma. i love their BB cream and concealers. hehe…
my sister in singapore likes make up from the face shop and skin food but i find skin food expensive compared to VOV products…
by the way, if you are really interested in korean beauty products, try dropping by Moderato boutique of Porta Vaga bldg, located at Session Road, Baguio City. they have wide variety of korean beauty products you’ll love coz they really work…

I love BB cream!! I get so many compliments on how good my skin looks!!!
Do you know a brand of BB cream that has a high spf? right now I’m using Etude House brand because it was the highest I could find (spf 30). Its not as moisturizing as I would like it to be.
@Saranya
you can find skin food and other korean skin care products like innisfree, face shop, misscha, and etude house on ebay.

hello what is the best skin food product for soft,clear and moisturized face? How about Laniege products? What do you think?

I received a rice mask sample a few days ago and i love it. Unfortunately, there’s no specific instruction on the usage and I’m afraid I might overuse it. Any idea? Thanks.

i love the skin food. it made my skin clearer and less dry and oily. i love the skin care lines. it is more expensive than face shop and elantio. elantio is either a taiwanese or chinese brand but they have good product too. but so far skin food has a reason why the’re expensive. the products are really good.
July 2nd, 2008 at 10:36 am
@saranya >> i saw two Missha’s in NYC in 2006
seems like no Skin Food though, but like Angela had suggested, you can check out ebay
@mica >> oh you’re lucky! Laneige is fine but it isn’t for me.
@Liza >> just leave it on your face for 10-15 minutes and then wash off
@regina >> i haven’t seen elantio here… i’m gonna try other skin food products in the future

July 30th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
I too love skin food as it certainly makes my skin look better and younger looking. Trouble is, I find it hard to get hold of it where I live.
Can anyone offer an alternative, or provide a web address where I can buy some online?
Thanks

August 11th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
hello… I’m a big fan of skin food too and I also use the same mushroom BB cream. ask ko lang, do I need to use cleansing cream to remove it? I only use facial foam kasi.

I am wondering why such products are not promoted world over. Believe me, I haven’t heard about them ever. Perhaps this is blessing of internet which always keep us informative.
October 8th, 2008 at 2:25 am
I just surfed into Skinfood Singapore’s website and now they seem to have added shopping carts to their products! Seems like it has turned into an online store.
Glad to find it so that I can ship my favourite items over.
October 17th, 2008 at 7:58 pm

Looking forward to your reply.

I have never heard of Skin Food products. I am really big on giving out free skin scare tips so I will definitely have to research a little bit more about this product. Thanks for the info.
