Hello.
No foundation, Milobina, and Manager Nonko are always welcome.
Last time, I talked about how "if you start to feel dryness, the first thing to do is check your toner,"
This time, we'll be discussing skincare mistakes to avoid during the dry season.
I realized that what I've been doing without realizing it is why my efforts at moisturizing are not paying off.
So please stay with us until the end.
The difference that emerges from your 40s and 50s is your daily habits.
In your 20s and 30s, you may not notice much difference, but once you reach your 50s, the difference becomes apparent depending on bad habits you've unknowingly been doing, or conversely, whether or not you've consistently done things that are good for your skin.
Some people maintain moisturized and youthful-looking skin, while others experience dryness, sagging, and worsening blemishes.
Even with such skin, you can improve it by paying attention to just a few things.
Furthermore, if you make this a habit, even those in their 50s and 60s now will see a significant improvement in their skin 5 or 10 years from now.
So, let me explain in more detail.
"Showering water on your face with a strong stream" is something we often do without thinking.
First, the seemingly insignificant act of washing your face can actually make a big difference in the long run.
The key is the temperature and pressure of the water you use to rinse your face.
Surprisingly, there aren't many people around me who pay attention to this.
"When I'm tired, it feels so good to let the shower water run over my face."
"Taking a hot shower on my face feels so refreshing!"
When people tell me stories like that, as someone who has been doing skincare for many years, I understand how they feel,
No, stop! I get scared.
Because, first of all, hot water.
The idea that heat opens up pores and makes your skin look better is quite appealing, isn't it?
I used to think that when I went to a hot spring, the hot spring water would make my skin beautiful.
I splashed hot water on my face repeatedly, and I sweated a lot.
"Now my pores are cleaner and my skin should look better."
I used to look in the mirror thinking my skin would look better, but it didn't; in fact, my skin texture was still uneven, and I found it quite puzzling.
But that was the worst possible thing to do...
If you continue doing this, your skin will become hard and dull, so be careful.
While it's true that hot spring water has skin-beautifying effects due to its minerals, the act of "splashing hot water on the skin" itself is problematic.
Outweighs the skin-beautifying effects of minerals, they actually do more harm by stripping your skin of its natural moisture.
These excellent moisturizing components that your skin naturally possesses can be stripped away quite easily.
The water is lukewarm, the water flow is weak, and please refrain from splashing around too much in the hot spring!
Therefore, when rinsing your skin or showering,
- Very weak water flow
Keep the temperature as low as possible.
Ideally, the temperature should be just slightly warm.
However, it might feel cold in the winter.
But please keep it in the back of your mind.
"Don't wash your face with hot water."
"Do not rinse your face with strong water pressure."
Make this a habit.
Even just doing this for a week or two will make a huge difference in how dry your skin feels.
Those who have been troubled by dry, flaky skin in the past may see improvement this winter.
Another bad habit: not using enough toner.
Another important factor is the amount of toner you use.
When applying lotion to the skin, many people feel that it's enough when their skin is just slightly damp.
But this is a really wasteful use of it.
Just getting your skin damp isn't nearly enough.
While it's fine in the morning, at night, apply a generous amount—enough to let it run off your skin—and gently press it into your skin multiple times.
With plenty of moisture now infused into your skin, it will look completely different from before, brighter, more translucent, and plumper, full of hydration.
Many people who repeat this every night find their skin becomes surprisingly clear.
If the staff at Mirobina also try this method,
"My skin has become incredibly clear!"
He was delighted.
Of course, I do it every night without fail.
When I look in the mirror, my skin is clearly looking better.
I like using toner the most.
The most noticeable change is the transparency.
Just doing this much can dramatically improve your skin's clarity and even give it firmness.
Whether or not you adopt these small habits...
That alone will make a huge difference in the beauty of your skin 5, 10, 20, and 30 years from now.
Here are some easy and advanced techniques that you can do without spending any money!
Please make it a habit.
The recent trend of "rinse 60 or 100 times" should wait a bit.
And finally, recently on social media,
"You should rinse your face 60 times."
"No, you should rinse it 100 times."
I often come across topics like this.
In fact, it seems that many people have found that it has made their skin look better.
However, this requires considerable caution.
Why had my skin been rough up until then?
Surprisingly, many people don't know this, but facial cleansers and washes that use synthetic surfactants tend to leave a lot of residue on the skin, and to completely remove them, you might need to rinse 60 or even 100 times.
Therefore, I think that by diligently rinsing it 60 or 100 times, it gets thoroughly removed and the condition of your skin improves.
But, as you can probably guess, rinsing this much will wash away the moisturizing components of your skin as well.
Even if it works at first, if you keep doing this for many years, it's highly likely that it will eventually have the opposite effect, causing severe dryness, hardening, and a lack of moisture that can lead to sagging, wrinkles, and wrinkles!
So, what should we do?
"I'm going to switch my facial cleanser to soap."
That's all.
If you use soap, you can rinse it off completely with about 10 to 20 rinses.
That's why Mirobina only sells soap.
Applying skincare products is important, but so is how you remove them and what you use to remove them. This is also very important in skincare.
So, none of these cost any money, and they're all easy.
Please make this a good habit and stay beautiful forever.
see you!
