It's been years since I started my skincare journey but essences were never a part of it. Mostly because my skin was oily earlier, so I did not feel the need for using one and also because I didn't get on board with Korean skincare. Trust me when I say that I kick myself mentally every time for living under a rock for so long! Why, oh why didn't I explore Korean skincare before?
And then in 2019 Smriti made me use the Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream which I fell deeply in love with (more about it on another day), and I delved into the world of K-beauty. While I haven't tried a lot of products yet, there can be no doubt that 2020 was the year I discovered the joy and value of essences. There are two products which are responsible for my fangirl moment - the Cosrx Snail Mucin essence and the I'm From Mugwort Essence. Both these products made it to my 2020 skincare favourites which you can check out here, in case you missed it.
Let's talk about the I'm From Mugwort Essence today!
