JAYJUN Gives Back
Earlier this year, JAYJUN partnered up with an organization under one common goal: to give back to our communities, while helping our Planet Earth. The organization's mission is to plant a collective total of 18 billion trees (fruit, nut and medicinal) worldwide to alleviate global hunger, pollution and empower communities – talk about a great cause! Evidently, our team at JAYJUN could not be any happier and did not hesitate to take part in this great movement. We pledged to donate 20% of the sales generated from the it Began Tansy All-in-One Essence (105 ml) to help plant more trees around the world to create a more sustainable place for our future generations. We were able to keep our promise thanks to our valued JAYJUN shoppers and we hope to continue donating with everyone’s contribution. In the wise words of Albert Einstein, “It is every man’s obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it,” we not only have the need to give back to the community, but it is our duty to do so. It begins with you. It Began here.

A HELPING HAND TO FRONTLINE WORKERS
With all the things happening in the world with the pandemic, we wanted to help in our own way.We believe just a little bit of self care helps uplift the spirits. We love our skincare here at Jayjun,and we know that taking care of yourself often takes a backseat to other priorities in life. We saw there was a need for these frontline workers to get some relief one way or another. This message from Montefiore Health System really sealed the deal for us: “We are all broken, tired, exhausted. Dry, cracked hands from excessive washing. Acne and blemishes from wearing masks all day. We are receiving no hazard pay or bonuses and are working extra over time, 12 hour days - most of which are filled with death and dying. ” said a physician assistant atER. Day in and day out, these nurses are putting their lives on the line as well as their faces. They often have to double up on the masks which in turn leads to irritation, markings, and acne breakouts, as the physician assistant above has said. With little contact with fresh air, the mixture of sweat and oil from the skin, and bacteria in the masks, it can wreak havoc on the skin. By giving them a different mask to trade in the one they wear all day long, it will offer soothing relief. We sent a variety of masks such as our Essential Mask line, Gold Mask, and Luminous. Each one with ingredients we know will help relax, soothe, and offer relief to their stressed skin. It will calm their blemishes, hydrate the skin, and most importantly, give them the comfort of healthy skin. Thank you to all the frontline workers who do the most for us day in and day out. We are happy to make you feel beautiful when in times such as these it is easy to disregard and cast aside. Here are some photos we received from the nurses with their masks and we are so happy we could help!

Quarantine Self-Care: 5 Skin-Care Tips to Try Now
For many of us, we’re still getting used to the flow of quarantine mode due to the coronavirus pandemic. When it comes to skin-care, there are numerous pros and cons to staying in the great indoors. On the bright side, you can go au naturel and take a break from makeup to give your skin a chance to breathe. But on the other hand, the situation going on in the world today can lead to stress which can cause issues such as acne and dryness. Either way, now’s the prime time to give your skin some extra love and we’re here to give you five simple tips on how to get started. 1. Use an Anti-Dust Cleanser During this time, it’s more vital than ever to be mindful of hygiene. After all, the coronavirus spreads through germs of those who are affected. In addition to taking preventative actions like washing hands and keeping at least six feet of distance from others, consider starting and ending each day using the JayJun Anti-Dust Fresh Foam Cleanser. Uplift your mood by turning on your favorite playlist while lathering up on this deep cleansing foam. What’s unique about this formula is its power to decrease the adhesion of micro-dust, pollutants, and germs on your skin. Within the key ingredients, eight plant extracts help to create a protective barrier (think of it as an invisible shield throughout the day) which removes 58% of micro-dust particles. 2. Don’t Forget The Toner Toners are often overlooked in skin-care routines. Doesn’t the cleanser already do the job of, well, cleansing? Yes, but toners deliver an extra layer of protection in addition to getting your face super clean. With the pomegranate extract, the Red Miracle Revital Essence Toner plumps the skin with more hydration and firmness while the ruby powder stimulates skin radiance and helps prevent signs of aging. Just shake the bottle to activate its bubbles, pour it onto a cotton pad and sweep over your skin before following with a moisturizer.3. Moisturize Twice a Day Depending on your environment, staying indoors can cause an increase in skin dryness. As a remedy, use a lightweight moisturizer like the Intensive Shining Watery Cream. This cooling gel formula is filled with cherry blossom extract to brighten skin and the layered hyaluronic acid helps replenish hydration. Moisturize twice a day (morning and night) to keep your skin in tip-top shape. To add more moisture to the air, opt for a humidifier.4. Limit Your Screen Time It may be tempting to spend more hours in front of the screen these days with nowhere to go but home. But excessive blue light from your phone, computer, and TV may cause skin damage, eye strain, and even trouble sleeping. If it’s a struggle to turn off your devices, try setting an alarm as a reminder to take a break. To soothe tired eyes, pick up the Green Tea Eye Patch Jar and scoop out a pair—leave it on for 20-30 minutes to strengthen the delicate under-eye area while giving it a brightening boost. These multitasking patches also lessen the look of fine lines and wrinkles. 5. Enjoy a Zen Moment COVID-19 has caused so many changes that it’s not uncommon to experience stress and a roller-coaster ride of emotions. Taking a moment to relax and meditate does wonders for the mind, body, soul, and skin. In addition to applying moisturizer twice a day, adding another form of hydration is even better. Try the 100% vegan It BEGAN Tansy Facial Mask whenever you need to unwind and rest assured that your skin will be drinking up its powerful antioxidants. The main ingredient, tansy, is rich in anti-inflammatory properties which helps calm and smoothen the skin.Following a regular routine may also be beneficial for mental health and can help cope with change. With so much uncertainty in the world, it’s nice to have something predictable to look forward to every day—starting with skin care.

5 Ways to Make Your Beauty Routine More Sustainable
5 Ways to Make Your Beauty Routine More Sustainable Tips for a greener beauty lifestyle More is more when it comes to sustainability. Sure, there are a number of green initiatives going on in our world today (case in point: the plastic bag ban), but there’s still plenty to work on. One way we can all take part is to slip in some eco-friendly changes to our beauty routines that are pretty simple and quick. Because, after all, even small steps can lead to big, impactful changes. Read on for five tips you can put into action today. Choose Greener Products Countless stats show just how much waste comes from consumer products. Excess cardboard, paper, plastic, and other materials often end up in landfills, harming our planet. One easy solution? Choose greener products like JayJun’s Roselle Tea Eye Gel Patches, which not only brighten, hydrate, and revitalize the under-eye area, but it’s also biodegradable. As for another sustainable product, there’s the Essential Firming Mask, which is made with environmentally-friendly Tencel (a cellulosic fiber from wood pulp using recyclable solvents). Opt for Multi-Purpose Products Beauty goods that do double-duty are a total win-win: you can save precious space on your shelfie while cutting back on waste packaging. A few multi-purpose star products include our Lavender Tea Eye Gel Patches that can help firm and smooth the under-eye area and can also be used as an acne spot treatment. The same Roselle Tea Eye Gel Patches as mentioned above help with reducing fine lines and wrinkles for the under-eye area plus around the mouth to keep smile lines at bay. Get creative (and more use!) out of your everyday products. Don’t Leave the Water Running This one’s a given but a reminder never hurts. The simple act of turning off the faucet while washing our faces and brushing our teeth can collectively save tons of water, a natural resource that’s not guaranteed to be in forever abundance. Another tip: reduce shower time and keep the conversation going about water usage. The more it’s acknowledged, the more chances we can hopefully make for change. Look for Greener Packaging There’s something about smart packaging that makes products so much more appealing to use. These days, many brands are coming out with innovative ways to go green, which will hopefully lead to a domino effect for the beauty industry at large. JayJun’s So Cool Mask is designed similarly to a tissue box as opposed to individual packages. Each package comes with 30 masks, which also makes it more convenient to use (say hello to an at-home spa day every day). Donate Unused or Unwanted Products to a Good Cause Bought a beauty product that isn't fit for you? Or received a gift that isn’t quite your style? Look up a local charity online and donate your items to those who can get greater use out of it. Another idea: host a fun party with your friends to swap items. This can work for beauty goods, yes, but also for clothes, accessories, and books. Plus, it’ll feel good to spring clean and have extra space to declutter your mind and spirit!

How to Choose the Best Face Mask For You
Skincare is a science—it may take plenty of trial and error, observations and experiments to nail a good routine down. Although that’s true, it doesn’t hurt to have a guide to help steer you in the right direction. That said, let’s talk face masks a.k.a. beauty wonders that are truly game-changers in skincare. But with a sea of options out there, how exactly do you choose the best one for you? Here, we’ve rounded up a few face masks based on skin types so you can keep calm and mask on. If your skin needs… A Wake-Up Call Try: Real Water Brightening Black Mask This mask might be jet black but it aims to give you brighter skin—much brighter. If the hustle and bustle of everyday life has got your skin looking dull and in need of a boost, reach for this savior. There are three compartments to the package (the other two are the Real Water Cleansing Foam and Vita Snow Essence) to cleanse and nourish your complexion, too. Filled with mineral-rich lava seawater from Jeju Island in South Korea, this hydrating rayon sheet mask is also double layered to take care of the delicate area under your eyes. Perfect for days you haven’t caught quite enough sleep, or anytime, really. TLC Try: Rose Blossom Mask Need a bit of tender loving care? In a world where everything seems to be moving at the speed of light, take a moment to unwind with the Rose Blossom Mask. Stressed-out skin would benefit from its skin softening magic—the mask is infused with European rose water (and steam-distilled from real rose petals), which soothes skin like no other. What makes this fabric sheet so wearable is its super-soft Cupra fabric, designed to adhere perfectly to your face and allows the nutrients to sink deep into your skin. Go ahead, take a nap while you’re at it. Moisture Boost Try: It Began Tansy Facial Mask No matter the season, skin dryness can be a real issue. If you’re seeking a solution for sensitive, dry, flaky, irritated, or parched skin, look no further than this plant-derived vegan mask. Enriched with Laminaria Japonica extract (a seaweed that helps with anti-aging and enhances skin firmness) it soothes, hydrates, and, yes, moisturizes. Another star ingredient is tansy flower extract, which helps evens out skin pigmentation. Rejuvenation Try: Red Miracle Revital Energy Mask At JayJun, our story began with a group of plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and researchers who came together to find solutions for more youthful skin. This mask, in particular, focuses on the anti-aging factor. Like the ruby gemstone, it was created with the idea of radiance in mind. Filled with pomegranate extract, it aims to increase skin firmness and keeps wrinkles at bay while giving it the hydration it needs. Environmental Protection Try: Pollution-Proof Refreshing Mask If you live in a city where the pollution is more dramatic than your favorite TV show, you may want to consider the Pollution-Proof Refreshing Mask. Made with ginger oil, it helps revitalize and protect the skin from pollutants in the air (think: micro-dust). It’s also filled with ectoin, which protects the skin from stressors such as dry temps. Overall, think of this mask as a shield against environmental harm. Apply it for 10-20 minutes then put your best face forward to take on the day. A Little Bit of Everything Try: Daily Essentials Pack - Bestseller Masks Have skin concerns that constantly fluctuate? Or just travel often? Try the Daily Essentials Pack which includes a mix of bestsellers so you can mask depending on your mood. One box includes eight masks, two each of the following: Green Okra, Aloe Pink, Pollution-Proof Refreshing, and Pollution-Proof Luminous. Another perk of this pack is the chance to experiment with a few to find your all-time favorite(s).

Because we should all be masking more often...
There’s no denying that a sheet mask is a quick, easy way to give your skin a pick-me-up, but for some reason, I tend to view them more as occasional treatments than a mainstay in my routine. Maybe part of the problem is that I have my mask stash tucked away in a dedicated drawer beneath my sink, rather than having then comingled with my daily essentials. The solution for higher visibility: JAYJUN’s So Cool sheet masks, which come in a pouch that looks strikingly similar to a pack of cleansing wipes. Routine-altering presentation aside, these masks are infused with hydrating cactus extract, brightening vitamin C and soothing beta-glucan—and they are designed to reduce skin temperature on contact. Great for a post-workout skin reset (and for the remaining hot summer days), they are also slightly smaller than many other sheet masks you can wear it when styling your hair without it getting in the way. (Talk about multi-tasking!) And at $16 for 30, you can mask every damn day if you want without breaking the bank.
