###What is Advanced Asian Beauty?

AAB is a place for experienced/veteran AB users to discuss beauty brands, cosmetics, and skincare from Asia. You've successfully learned how to effectively search using google or the reddit search bar, mastered the difference between an AHA/BHA, and you know the 10-Step Routine in your heart. Welcome to our Sub where you can engage in Discussions with other Advanced ABers!

###Thread Submitting Guideline

A Thread is a post made by users whenever you press the Submit a Discussion/Review/PSA and submit it. All threads have a potential to be on the frontpage of our subreddit.
[Discussion] - Discussions must include a [Discussion] flair and it must have a clear topic and focus. The Title must be formatted as a question. If it is a question that can easily be solved with a google search, it does not constitute as a Discussion question and may be removed. If it is a question that only pertains to you, it does not constitute as a Discussion question and will be removed. A great Discussion question will be one that users typically can respond with 20 words or above.
[Review] - Reviews must include a [Review] flair, correct labeling of title, and must have the product or class of products in the Title. For an example, a Class of Products would be Entire HoneyBee’s Honeylicious Line/Review of Sunscreens: X, Y, Z brands. We allow reviews on most products, however there are special rules for Sheet Masks/other Masks (please view our wiki page). All reviews must be Non-Sponsored. We have special rules for Reviews containing Sponsored/Free Products (General Rule #9). Please visit our google doc for our Review Format!
[PSA] - PSAs must include a [PSA] flair and it must be a Text Thread. Any PSAs that links directly to an outside source will be removed. If it is a PSA that only pertains to you, it is likely not a PSA. A PSA could be an announcement of a new collaboration of AB products between brands, a new line or special edition products from AB brands, product reformulations, or other important AB news. It may also be about a new AB store location that is located near you or about a really good Sale or Deal. You must post the relevant outside source link, address of the new store, or link to the sale and the duration of the sale INSIDE of the Thread. For Flash Sales/Time Sensitive sales, please change your Title to [PSA][Flash Sale]. For more details about PSAs, please visit our wiki.
