Althea's DIY Rainbow Card
Today we want to take the time to share a bit more about our #AltheaTurns5 birthday celebration. If you have seen the birthday page on www.althea.kr then you know how cute these limited edition boxes are. Every year our birthday boxes are extremely popular and highly sought after! But this year has been challenging and times are hard, so we decided to dedicate our birthday to help cheer everyone up 🌈
We put our thinking hats on and came up with an idea to spread the rainbow of hope through a cheerful positive Rainbow Box and DIY Rainbow Card.
What do you mean by qualifying orders?
At Althea, there are two types of packing options. The first is the iconic Althea pink box which comes in three sizes (s, m, and l). The second is the Althea Air which is a protective air bubble pack for single or lesser order items that don't fit the box but needs to be protected from damage during transit.

Ingredients & Benefits
In terms of texture, it has a very soft and smooth feel that spreads out easily. Think of softened butter, but 1000 times lighter. It does not have a strong scent and its smell reminds me of baby’s formula. When spread on the skin, it takes about 30 seconds to transform to a foam (imagine unbaked meringue), which you then leave on for 1 to 3 minutes. I usually need and recommend 1-minute max, for those who have sensitive skin. For oilier skin types, you can experiment with longer leave-on time.
After 1 minute, I proceed to rinse the product off and notice that my skin is immediately softer and smoother to touch. Also, my skin does not feel uncomfortably tight as I would with other exfoliants out there. On a scale of 1 to 5 on skin tightness, 1 being least and 5 very tight, I would give this a 1.
texture demonstration
I have been using this product on a daily basis and it did not dry my skin out nor did it irritate my skin. The small bumps that I get on my forehead reduced significantly (in terms of size and quantity) and when I stopped using it, the bumps came back. Also, the blackheads on my nose as well as the pores reduced in appearance and visibility. For the gents, I would strongly recommend you to use it before shaving as it helps reduce ingrown hairs, as I did notice before shaving my facial hair.
The downside to this wonderful product would be the packaging. It comes in a vacuum pump bottle which is great for dispensing products until the very last pump. However, it does not consistently dispense product in the first few pumps and the last few pumps. I have experienced this in at least 2, of their packaging. The only fix I did was to knock the product on the sink top, inverted, to get the product pumped out. Hoping that they fix this and make this the ultimate product in their collection.
Great for all skin types, I really do hope that you guys and girls give this a try and I am sure you’ll love it, even for you sensitive peeps out there!

The Skincare Multitasker You Need To Try!
Friday, May 29, 2020
Sensitivities, redness, irritations - all terrible words that make the skin tighten in horrible anticipation. Having a complexion that’s prone to sensitivity can be a pain, especially when you’re trying to look and feel your best. Althea Collection’s Waterful Bamboo Pads have been our favorite way to combat irritations during this season, and here’s how you can use them to their fullest potential!
What's The Beauty Acid?
Wednesday, April 15, 2020
Let's talk about acids today
“Acid” becomes all the rage skincare beauty word. It is the go-to word to search for your beauty needs for whatever skin problems you have.
One "Holy Grail" of anti-aging ingredient is hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid has the structure of acid but it is not an exfoliating acid.
Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin using a chemical, granular substance, or exfoliation tool.
Why Hyaluronic Acid should be in your skincare routine?
What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid is to retain water to keep your tissues well lubricated and moist. It is really a good ingredient to have in your skincare products for every skin type. Hydration and moisturize skin is much healthier and reduce other skin problems. After all, skin ability to heal becomes slower than snail if your skin is dry along with sort of other problems such as wrinkles or fine lines appearing before you are even 40.
There are 3 types of hyaluronic acid
- hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid
- sodium acetylated hyaluronate
- sodium hyaluronate
You don’t need all three to appear in all your skincare products. I prefer sodium hyaluronate though. Hyaluronic acid in your skincare will make sure that the products are not drying for your skin.
Here are some product recommendations for all skin types.
source: Wish Beauty Lab
If thick moisturizer is not your thing but you do not want to leave your skin feeling like a desert, then how about this famous slight viscosity toner that does not contain any essential oil and it fragrance-free to moisturize your skin. The hyaluronic acid inside this toner just makes your skin hydrated without the heavy feeling of thick cream.
The most popular HG even among beauty influencers. It contains 96% snail mucin extract and hyaluronic acid that moisturizes the skin, repair and improving elasticity from within. It is made for sensitive skin
This is the Korean version of the famous hyaluronic acid in the form of ampoule that contains all the 3 types of hyaluronic acid which is just perfect for your dry skin. It can penetrate deep into the layers of the skin to plump them up. It also contains panthenol and arginine for a protective moisture barrier.
Here comes light, non-greasy texture moisturizer that contains an orchid extract that grows in Jeju Island, a place so rich in volcanic soil. Combined with hyaluronic acid and squalane, powerful anti-aging that keeps your skin firmness and elasticity.
Never go out of the house without wearing sunscreen to prevent skin damage. This sunscreen smells like a bed of roses. With hyaluronic acid inside this sunscreen, this is a no white cast sunscreen that also hydrate your skin while protecting your skin from the harmful rays.

Physical and Chemical SPF: What's the diff?
Tuesday, April 14, 2020
The sun is no laughing matter, especially when it comes to our skin’s health!

Did you know that sun protection comes in two different types? Here’s the low down on all you need to know, plus how to choose a good sunblock for you!

Whipping Your Skin Into Shape!
Friday, March 6, 2020
Remember when mom would tell us to drink up our milk so we’ll grow big and strong? What if we told you that milk was more than just good for your bones? Milk has been used by the rich, famous and affluent as a form of skincare for centuries. In modern times, living with pollution can wreak havoc on the skin, and using milk to treat the skin with some TLC is always a good idea. That’s where Althea comes in with the Milk Peel Cream Mask, a skin-pampering product that offers soft, clean skin that’s radiant and healthy!
Save Your Skin From The Sun!
Monday, February 3, 2020
Our skin has one mortal enemy: the sun! Sure, it gives us light and warmth, but overexposure to its rays is never a good thing. Think of all the damage it can cause to your complexion! It produces ultraviolet rays (UVA and UVB) that dehydrate and cause damage to the skin cells, leading to irritation, pigmentation and premature aging. It could even lead to skin cancer! Here’s what to look out for, and how to beat the hot, sunny rays!
