Susan Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Quiet "The world could surely use a little more love, a little more compassion, and a little more wisdom. In Love for Imperfect Things, Haemin Sunim shows us how to cultivate all three, and to find beauty in the most imperfect of things--including your very own self."

A #1 internationally bestselling book of spiritual wisdom about learning to love ourselves, with all our imperfections, by the Buddhist author of The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down

Hearing the words "be good to yourself first, then to others" was like being struck by lightning.

Many of us respond to the pressures of life by turning inward and ignoring problems, sometimes resulting in anxiety or depression. Others react by working harder at the office, at school, or at home, hoping that this will make ourselves and the people we love happier. But what if being yourself is enough? Just as we are advised on airplanes to take our own oxygen first before helping others, we must first be at peace with ourselves before we can be at peace with the world around us.

In this beautiful follow-up to his international bestseller The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down, Zen Buddhist monk Haemin Sunim turns his trademark wisdom to the art of self-care, arguing that only by accepting yourself--and the flaws that make you who you are--can you have compassionate and fulfilling relationships with your partner, your family, and your friends. With more than thirty-five full-color illustrations, Love for Imperfect Things will appeal to both your eyes and your heart, and help you learn to love yourself, your life, and everyone in it.

When you care for yourself first, the world begins to find you worthy of care.

Really Nice Hydrating Toner Pads
Scent: Collagen, Scent: Collagen
At 52, post-menopausal, with dry and increasingly sensitive skin, I’m very selective about toner pads. Many of them either feel too thin and ineffective or too active and irritating. These landed right in the middle in the best possible way — gentle, hydrating, and very easy to use. The first thing I noticed is how well these pads are saturated. They’re not dripping, but they hold enough product to comfortably treat the entire face. The gel texture also makes them feel a little more substantial than typical toner pads, which I really like. They feel cooling and comfortable on the skin. What I notice most after using them is how hydrated and slightly plumped my skin looks. This isn’t dramatic or instant, but it’s the kind of improvement that makes your skin look healthier and more comfortable. My skin feels smoother and softer, and it layers very well with the rest of my routine. They also feel very lightweight. There’s no sticky or heavy residue, and once the essence absorbs, my skin just feels hydrated and calm. I can easily follow with serums and moisturizer without any pilling. I also appreciate that these pads are gentle and very skin-compatible. I’ve had no irritation, redness, or sensitivity, even on days when my skin is feeling more reactive. At this stage, that matters more than aggressive results. In terms of moisture, these do a really nice job. My skin feels comfortable after using them, and they work well as a prep step before the rest of my routine. On some mornings, they even give enough hydration that I don’t feel rushed to apply moisturizer immediately. Fragrance is also worth mentioning. The scent is very light and subtle, and it doesn’t linger. I’m careful about fragrance, and these didn’t cause any sensitivity or irritation. Another thing I like is how easy they are to use. They’re quick, convenient, and a nice step when I want hydration without adding another liquid toner. Overall, these feel like a supportive, hydrating step that helps improve overall skin quality over time. They’re gentle, comfortable, and easy to incorporate into a daily routine.

Love These Toner Pads
Scent: Collagen
I’ve really been enjoying these Biodance Collagen Gel Toner Pads! They feel super refreshing on the skin and are an easy step to add into my routine. The pads are well-soaked without being messy, and they glide on smoothly. After using them consistently, my skin feels more hydrated and looks a bit more plump and smooth. I’ve also noticed my pores appear slightly minimized, especially around my T-zone. They’re gentle enough for daily use and don’t irritate my skin. Overall, a great option if you’re looking for a simple way to boost hydration and improve your skin’s overall look and feel!

Finally!!
Scent: Collagen
I have had huge pores with combination oily skin and dry skin since reaching my mid 30’s and makeup made them more prominent. Since adding these to my morning routine my makeup stays smooth with my pores minimized and skin looking and feeling healthier. After trying multiple products I finally found THE ONE.

Great product
Scent: Collagen
Been using this for several months and love love it. My skin is moisturized and has decreased the visibility of fine lines. This is a staple in my skin care routine.
