Go to Missha and The Face Shop. They have great products and they always give samples, too. Sometimes, lots! I also like the Body Sho and Lush, but those jokers don't give samples. I loaded up on Shiseido products during my visa run to Osaka. Shiseido is great, but of course, in Korea, the stuff I bought in Japan would cost double the price. I got my stuff for 4777 yen in Osaka. I went to Lotte Dept store tonight and saw sets of Shiseido products for 130,000 won. The bottles were small, too. Lots of sleep and drinking lots of water are things you should definitely keep on doing. Also, drink green tea. Fish, especially tuna, is great for keeping skin elastic, too. Don't eat much junk food either. Of course, lots of drinking and smoking cancels out anything worthy you may do. I have never smoked, and I drink just a little. Suntanning is also a major no-no. My Mom is 57, and she looks way younger. She doesn't smoke or even drink one drop of alcohol. She doesn't suntan either. And guess what white guys?????? She is smaller than your average ajummoni, too!!! And...her hair is not short and permed. Oh yeah, eat as many fruits and veggies as possible...Dark chocolate is FULL of antioxidants, too.

I've ordered and was billed from Strawberry Net here for my sister in Canada. I highly recommend them! Not sure about delivering here, but I imagine that it shouldn't be a problem.

Get loads of sleep, water, and sex; eat well, exercise, and go to the sauna at least once a week; don't smoke; and, most importantly, don't worry about it. Otherwise 'die young and leave a pretty corpse,' I'm afraid, is the only way to be sure.

In all seriousness, eating curry with lots of turmeric (the yellow stuff) is supposed to be good.

How about a 48 hour detox? Probably best to do it over the weekend. Only consume fresh fruit,veg and mineral water and herbal tea. It might give you a headache the second day but keep at it and you'll feel really good afterwards.

Indulging in facials from beauty salons will definitely help withthe 'glow'. Yes it's indulgent but if you've been working hard, a girl is definitely entitiled to a professional facial or two.

Also, get yourself booked in for 경락마사지. It helps to improve lymphatic circulation and helps to tone your skin. Although I go to a professional masseus, if you go to one of those quality 찜질방, they sometimes offer this kind of massage.

Hey OP, if you have good skin, intead of foundation, why don't you try tinted moisturiser? Or just a light base with SPF like clinique city block?

Get knocked up. It does wonderful things for your skin - people will be forever remarking how you 'glow' etc etc...but you may also have other undesired side-effects such as wanting to puke your guts up from morning to night.

On a serious note - if you want to look after your skin, use plain old moisturiser (Nivea will do) twice a day, and keep out of the midday sun. Smile - don't often frown. I have always followed this, and people regularly assume me to be younger than I really am.
