How much did you spend on Asian beauty products in 2020?

I'm looking to write a research report on the consumer behavior towards Asian beauty products in 2020, despite everything going on. Should find some spicy insights that I'm happy to share here when it's done!

The survey should take 2-minutes. All responses will be anonymous, unless you'd like to be reached out to for comment by leaving your email.

Thank you so much for your help! I will be sharing results in a few weeks! Link to survey here:

April/May/June 2019 RAOAB Roll Call

Since the Random Wishlist Generator is now gone, we're implementing a new way to see who's still around and active in our community, and available for snailing.

This month we're incorporating the non-Amazon wishlist thread into the roll call thread, so this particular thread will now be pinned to the sub instead.

When you see this thread comment using the template below:

  • Country of Residence:
  • Skin Type & Concerns:
  • Asian skincare items/brands you're hoping to try:

You can copy and paste this template here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YL_qiMkWsBSWx_YjKfssvtRNvzjGGyIylBOg7KmCrJg/edit?usp=sharing

A few ground rules:

  • Swaps are not permitted here. Save that for r/asianbeautyexchange.
  • Please indicate whether you are looking for full size, samples, decants, used/new, etc so people know if they can help you or not.
  • Do not leave shipping info on this thread - if an individual address is needed please exchange this info privately via pm.
  • Shipping costs can either be provided by the giver or the receiver, but is done so at your own risk. (However, if we receive notice of someone trying to play the system, you will be banned from the entire board, not just this thread.)
  • Most of all - have fun, and be polite. We're so happy to have you here!

Stone rollers in beauty routine

Hi guys!

So I just purchased a stone roller, hoping it will help me with some of the tension in my facial muscles, I have a migraine disorder and epilepsy and find that especially if I'm having episodes for either I'm more prone to squinting and just general teeth grinding and my jaw and forehead muscles are super tight. I'm hoping this can be a way to relieve the facial tension (all else is medically treated) and bring some extra relaxation and spa feelings to my everyday routine.

But then I realized like, I don't know where in my routine I might most effectively use this. What kind of products might benefit best from a stone roller, chilled or not. Toner? Serums? Creams? Or heck, maybe even my first oil or balm cleanse to get really into my pores and get the dirt out.

Just for reference, this is what I have.
