It’s hard to believe that it’s springtime again—the weather is warming up and I’ve been spending more time outdoors getting some good old fashioned Vitamin D. With the change of the seasons (and the change in the weather), my skin is in need of some exfoliating and refreshing—it’s a little on the dry and dull side. I was recently introduced to Elina Organics Cranberry Rose Skin Refiner, and my parched skin has a renewed, healthy glow.
Elina Organics was founded in 1998 by Elina Fedotova—Chief Formulator, Celebrity Esthetician, and Holistic Skin Care Educator. Elina Organics finds its core ingredients from organic suppliers that span the globe and the botanical formulas are handmade in the company’s Michigan lab.
One of these handmade products is the Elina Organics Cranberry Rose Skin Refresher, which is a plant-based refiner that was created to exfoliate, polish and hydrate your skin with ingredients like rosehips, cranberries and honey. I’ve been using this product for a week or so and I can already feel that my skin is softer and has a fresh, spring glow. It also smells great too, which is something I’m very particular about when it comes to products I use on my face.
What makes this product so special?
* Fresh and handmade, this plant-based skin refiner contains an abundance of antioxidants, Vitamin C and B, and beta-keratin (precursor of Retinol) to nourish and reduce fine lines.
* It gently polishes your skin and fades discoloration with crushed rosehips and cranberries.
* Its fruit enzymes also help to remove excess dead skin cells and soften your skin’s appearance.
* The formula includes manuka honey keep skin feeling hydrated and to help balance your skin’s pH.
For best results, use the Cranberry Rose Skin Refiner 1 to 3 times a week. Simply use a dime-sized amount and massage it gently into damp skin (even on your lips). For more intense exfoliation and anti-aging benefits, you can leave it on as a mask for 3-5 minutes. This product is especially beneficial for those who have a dry complexion.

Hydrating and moisturizing are words you mostly see on skincare products. For some, it is a term that can be interchangeable. While it can be confusing, these terms do not mean the same thing. In simple terms, water is for hydration and oil is for moisture. If you lack any of the two, you will either have dry or dehydrated skin.
Moisture and hydration are both important for the skin. Hydrators are the ones that bring water from the environment to the skin, while moisturizers are responsible for locking in hydration to the skin. No matter the skin type, both can be highly beneficial for any skin type.
With technological advancement and innovation, most skincare products are formulated to meet the needs of every skin type and skin issues. Korean skin care is one of the most effective methods to nourish your skin with products made with natural ingredients. With Nature Republic products, you will surely give your skin the nourishment it needs.
Here are some of the products that can keep your skin well-hydrated and healthy.
1. Soothing & Moisture Aloe Vera Soothing Gel
This bestselling multifunctional gel can provide both moisture and hydration to the skin. It contains 92% aloe vera extract that can deliver intense hydration to any part of your body that needs it. Clinical trials have shown that it can improve skin moisture with continuous use. This gel can also soothe irritated skin, mild sunburns, and razor burns. While this gel is both moisturizing and hydrating, its hydration properties are more dominant.
2. Real Nature Hydrogel Mask
Sheet masks are good in fighting skin dehydration. However, it depends on the type of sheet mask.

Enhanced with neem leaf extract that delivers soothing effects, this powerful mask can provide extreme benefits to the skin. You can choose from ten different types with different extracts according to your skin needs.
3. Snail Solution Hydrogel Eye Patch
Just like any other K-beauty brand, Nature Republic has also embraced the power of snail slime. Think of the skin around our eyes as grapes waiting to be transformed into raisins. If we stop providing the eye area the hydration it needs, it will start forming wrinkles and fine lines. Although it is normal in our aging process, we can delay it by using eye creams and eye patches. This eye patch is infused with snail mucin extracts that are known for their hydrating and moisturizing benefits. It can restore the firmness of the eye area while preventing dehydration.
5. Hyalon Active 10 Foam Cleanser
Some cleansers can be harsh on the skin. It can mess the skin’s water-oil balance, which then can start skin issues. It’s important to look for cleansers that can effectively remove dirt and impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils. We recommend you try this cleanser, especially if you have dehydrated skin. This cleanser is infused with 10 types of hyaluronic acid that provides every layer of your skin powerful hydration.
