Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there! Although I have decades of experience being a daughter, I still haven’t mastered the art of finding the right Mother’s Day gift. Other than Sudoku books, it’s hard to find something that she’ll actually like. My mom’s a fan of Korean dramas, so last year, I decided to try sending her some K-beauty products. If she likes Korean dramas, why wouldn’t she like Korean skincare?

Ever since dipping my feet in the oil cleansing routine with Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil almost a year ago, I’ve been meaning to try its sister product—Kose Softymo Deep Treatment Cleansing Oil—for a long time now. Both of these oil cleansers are the most affordable options available on Amazon right now. If you look at some of the other ones that are similarly priced, you’ll see that they come in much smaller bottles.

As someone who has eczema (mainly on my hands), I’m always looking for ways to reduce exposure to irritants. Since I wash my hair almost every day, I realized that I should probably start looking for a fragrance-free shampoo—after all, your scalp is also part of your skin, and you apply shampoo with your hands. But sadly, it’s been my experience that fragrance-free hair care products are surprisingly difficult to find.
