Hello! My name is Kigawa, and I work for Bi Natural and Milobina.

Last time, we talked about skin dryness and metabolism, or turnover.

When your skin becomes dry, it becomes difficult to send signals to the basal layer, which is a new skin factory, to create cells.As a result, skin regeneration is delayed, skin turnover is delayed, and aging is accelerated.

In addition, due to dryness, the moisture that acts as a barrier decreases, which weakens the barrier function and causes direct damage to the skin, leading to accelerated aging and the formation of age spots.

That was the story.

So how can you prevent dry skin? Let me tell you a little bit about that.

One of the causes of dry skin is your natural constitution, but another is if you have caused it yourself.

The sad part is that we do this without even realizing it...

If you have any thoughts, please be a little more careful.

The first one is

If you are using cosmetics containing synthetic surfactants.

There are various types of synthetic surfactants, and even if you look at the ingredient list on the back label,

Please note that it does not say "synthetic surfactant".

So, why do synthetic surfactants cause dry skin?Synthetic surfactants have the effect of binding to proteins and dissolving them. Synthetic surfactants are used in a wide variety of products, including cosmetics (from skin care to makeup) and household detergents.

Commercials about laundry detergents often say things like ``decomposes protein stains!'' This is because synthetic surfactants are good at dissolving proteins.

In other words, if you use cosmetics that contain synthetic surfactants that are good at dissolving proteins, your skin will gradually dissolve (actually little by little) because our skin is also made of protein. Gradually, your skin's moisturizing function will be lost.

As a result, you end up creating dry skin yourself...that's why.

As I have written before, when I think about the people who have been working hard on their skin care without realizing that the more they work on their skin, the more they damage their skin and end up with dry skin, I myself have experienced the same thing. I feel so frustrated!

At Milobina, we sell skin care products such as the Beauty Sesame series and the Getto series that do not use synthetic surfactants and can be used in a state as close to natural as possible.One reason is that we use these synthetic surfactants. This is also because we want to provide you with things you don't use.

However, since it is easy to use, easy to use, and can be mass-produced (synthetic surfactants are very cheap), it is easy to create products that can meet the needs of users at reasonable prices. This can be said to be an advantage of synthetic surfactants.

Therefore, there are many types of synthetic surfactants, but if your skin care product uses even one of the ingredients, I recommend that you do not use that skin care product.

I would like to briefly talk about enzymes here.

Enzymes also dissolve proteins, so aren't they the same as synthetic surfactants? There are some smart people who think so.

In fact, in the case of enzymes, instead of dissolving proteins = cells, they only ``dissolve'' the ``old'' keratin and the part that has become the ``glue'' between the keratin.

Milobina's Beauty Sesame Oil also contains a lot of natural enzymes, so as you continue to use it, unnecessary dead skin cells will be removed more easily and your skin will become smoother.

And since it becomes normal for new skin to always be on the skin surface, the ability to keep it moisturized also improves. Barrier function is also improved.

I may be bragging a bit, but this sesame oil has the effect of increasing the function of the skin, so if you use it on your skin, which has been lackluster and has not been able to secrete enough sebum, it will gradually become moisturized. It's coming.

On the other hand, if you are oily, if you use it (I want you to use a lot at first), it will even have a so-called balancing effect, regulating the amount of sebum secreted!

If you look at it this way, you will be truly amazed at how precise the power of nature is.

Second, if you love hot water and strong showers.

I actually like to splash hot water on my face in the shower, but this is an easy habit that you should really stop doing.

The heat of hot water also removes the natural moisturizing factors that your skin already has, and a strong shower also pulls out the natural moisturizing factors that reside between the dead skin layers and washes them away.

Before using expensive skin care products when you are suffering from dry skin, please check these two habits first.

Use very lukewarm water when washing your face. It's so warm to the touch that I can't believe it. It's not cold, but it's not warm either, which seems to be just right for your skin.

When using the shower, rinse gently by scooping up the water with your hands if possible. If that bothers you, wash it off gently with a weak stream.

In this way, please cherish the ``strongest moisturizing ingredient above all else'' that you have.

There are many other options, but since we've talked about sesame oil, here's a good way to wash your face using oil.

First, apply the oil to your skin, then wash it once with soap.

that's all.

If possible, leave the oil on for about 10 minutes after applying it to allow it to penetrate well, or wash it after dissolving the oily dirt.This will also help darken pores and leave your skin very clean.

We tend to think that dirt can only be removed with soap, and I used to think so too, but our skin has both oil-based and water-based dirt.

By floating with oil, you can also lift oil-based stains that are difficult to remove with soap. After applying the oil, I wash my skin just once with soap, and my skin is still sticky and feels like it hasn't been removed, but it is enough to remove both oil-based and water-based dirt.

As proof of this, if you look closely in the mirror, you will notice that the dirt in your pores has cleared.

Japan has an abundance of water, so people tend to think that rinsing means removing dirt, and of course that's not a mistake, but knowing that dirt can be removed with oil can also expand your knowledge of skin care. I think it will also spread.

Of course, other effective measures include using skin care products with a well-balanced water and oil content, supplementing your skin with oils and creams instead of being sensitive to oil, and drinking plenty of water.

However, here I have written about measures against dryness that are usually difficult to notice.

So, I hope this helps!

From tomorrow onwards, I hope you have smooth and supple skin♪
