  1. sarahsheumd mentioning Neutrogena Neutrogena Pimple Patches at 01:42 in their YouTube video
    • Their pimple patches are super thin and they disappear into the skin really nicely1:36
    • Because they are so thin, you do need to be a little bit careful when you're peeling them off the packaging or else you'll end up folding the edges1:42
    • It's not a dealbreaker, but they're not as invisible when they're doubled up1:49
  2. sarahsheumd mentioning Vaseline Vaseline Body Balm at 02:57 in their YouTube video
    • I like using Vaseline's body balm on my lips even more than the regular Vaseline ointment2:51
    • It has a little bit more grip when it melts for my body temperature2:57
    • Usually, the petroleum ointment can get a little bit slippery when it starts to get warm and it doesn't stay in place as well as this stuff does3:00
    • It's also really easy to travel with3:06
    • I tend to get super dry on flights, so I just swipe this on anywhere that feels dry or tight on my face or body during travel3:09
  3. sarahsheumd mentioning Vaseline Vaseline White Petroleum Jelly at 02:44 in their YouTube video
    • Useful for slugging, lip care, wound care, removing makeup, people with sensitive skin, and people with dry skin2:33
    • If I could only buy one non-sunscreen skincare product, I would buy white petroleum ointment2:44
  4. sarahsheumd mentioning Fusio Fusio Lip Jelly at 03:43 in their YouTube video
    Fusio$149
    • Their lip jelly is my favorite product3:40
    • It has a glossy finish3:43
    • It leaves my lips really soft and a little bit goes a long way3:43
    • It makes my lips look a little bit more dressed up and glossy than boring old Vaseline or the body balm that I mentioned, especially if I put this on over a little bit of lip tint3:49
  5. sarahsheumd mentioning SKIN1004 Skin1004 Enjoy Super Mild Sun Essence at 04:10 in their YouTube video
    • This sunscreen has no business being under $104:06
    • Not only does it provide excellent UV protection, it's also hydrating and it works as an all-in-one moisturizer/sunscreen for people with dry or normal skin4:10
    • This sunscreen is a better fit for people with dry or normal skin and less attractive for people with oilier skin4:19
    • It also wouldn't be my first choice during very humid weather because you can get greasy looking pretty fast, but for drier areas, this is a really nice one4:29
  6. sarahsheumd mentioning Dove Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar at 04:56 in their YouTube video
    • Yes, it is basic. Yes, I have mentioned it before, but I am loyal to my favorites and I have used this for decades4:52
    • It will last forever4:56
    • It can help with mild acne because it contains lauric acid and it does a good job washing off sunscreen and makeup4:59
  7. sarahsheumd mentioning Pyunkang Yul Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner at 06:15 in their YouTube video
    • This brand is great for lowcost, usually low irritancy, hydrating products, and I think that they are a great value6:10
    • I think this basic line from PKY, including this essence toner, is a really good starter line for people who are new to skincare and they want to see what Korean skincare is all about, but they don't want to spend a ton of money to get started6:15
    • This essence toner is reliably under $10 without any promotions or sales6:44
  8. sarahsheumd mentioning Anua Anua Cotton Pads at 08:27 in their YouTube video
    Anua$4.79
    • These are sold by Anua 60 pads for about $4 US8:16
    • A million other companies make these and for even less money and I am not partial to any particular brand8:27
  9. sarahsheumd mentioning COSRX COSRX Pimple Patches at 01:53 in their YouTube video
    COSRX$6.00
    • Pimple patches from Korean brands like COSRX and TM are an even better value1:53
  10. sarahsheumd mentioning MEDIHEAL Mediheal Pre-Soaked Toner Pads at 07:52 in their YouTube video
    MEDIHEAL$24.00
    • I tried some Mediheal pre-soaked toner pads, which were really popular last year, but I wasn't a fan7:45
    • Personally, the specific formulation that I used really irritated my skin7:52
