Jinmee - Hydrapuff

Have you found yourself with more product on your hands than on your actual face? At The Amazing Blog we certainly have, and it’s just such a waste! Meet Jinmee who have pioneered a new way of thinking about cleansing with something sustainable, practical, and high quality. They have developed a product called Hydrapuff, the new super absorbent skincare sheets.

Founded by Karen Hong and produced in Korea, Jinmee was created when she realised the amount of product wasted on hands or cotton pads particularly as these thick pads soak up more product than it is actually applying to your skin.  She came up with these clever Hydrapuff sheets which are super thin and multi-purpose. They hydrate the skin, maximise product use, reduce waste, she came up with the Hydrapuff, as an affordable and high-quality product that works through simplicity, honesty, and self-care.

Hydrapuff are super-absorbent skincare sheets that come in a double-layered sheet. For the first step of your routine, keep your Hydrapuff intact, folded in half to give it extra thickness, it can be used with all your favourite skincare products. These sheets not only hydrate the skin but also as mentioned reduce the wastage. Once you add a skincare product to a sheet, it transforms into a gel-like tissue that adapts to your skin, which means applying the entire product onto your skin, not on the cottonwool or bin! You can apply your choice of toner, cream cleanser or oils, start by cleansing your face with the Hydrapuff sheet and your chosen product, and then gently wipe away your makeup or daily grim. Hydrapuff can also serve as a mask, by applying a serum or product onto the sheet and split the Hydrapuff in the middle. Then, place with your product on cheeks or the desired area allowing it to sit for 5 to 10 minutes (remove them before they get dry), pat your skin gently and done!

Hydrapuff is suitable for all skin types, made from a natural rayon and pulp blend with 60 sheets in a box. The sheets are vegan, cruelty-free, bio-degradable with recyclable packaging,  making them tick all the boxes and getting the thumbs up from us. We loved this multifunctional product which has saved us up to 50% less waste with our serums, cleansers and toners. Get your Hydrapuff here for only £6.50.

Let’s talk about the Peptide products, which are supposed to be used in conjunction with the Visager. Each of the products includes copper peptide which has a number of benefits. It helps to heal your skin and makes it look more youthful, it also calms irritated or reddened skin to give a more even skin tone, reducing spots, photodamage and hyperpigmentation. Plus it fights the first signs of ageing by increasing collagen production, fighting free radicals that cause wrinkles and fine lines, by plumping and tightening the skin.

It provides long-lasting hydration, strengthens and repairs skin, helps fight against environmental stress as well as visibly reduces the appearance of dark spots and freckles. Up next we have the Face Serum (£40 from here) this too is recommended for use with the Visager. It has high-quality phytohormones that reduce lines, tighten and uplift the natural face contour preventing skin ageing. It restores the balance of natural anti-ageing for younger-looking skin and further improves the water storing ability of your skin, leaving it looking hydrated and supple.
