2. skin care techniques

Face wash (technique)

3K is important when washing your face
・Do not rub
・Thickness (of soap solution)
・Rinse thoroughly

While keeping the 3K, here too!

[Techniques to become beautiful]
- Wash your face no more than twice a day, as this weakens the resident bacteria.
・Sometimes, try taking a break from washing your face with soap at night to encourage the growth of resident bacteria.
・Washing with soap in the morning = measures against lipid peroxide. Removes excess sebum and dirt secreted while sleeping, and prevents sebum from becoming lipid peroxide during the day.
・It is also important to use hot water and avoid applying the shower directly to your face.
・Use a soft towel. No synthetic scents or fabric softeners.

“Please write down what you are careful about when washing your face.” (1 minute)
- We asked each person to take notes and give a presentation -

・I drink lukewarm water at night and water in the morning.
Kigawa:The temperature of the lukewarm water should be lower than your body temperature. The appropriate temperature is one that feels too lukewarm.
You may not need to water it, especially in the morning.

・I make a good amount of foam and wash with the foam.
Kigawa: What is important is not the foam, but the density of the soap. If there is not enough concentration, the dirt will not come off properly. The role of the foam is to provide a cushion to prevent rubbing. If you add that awareness, it will be perfect.

・Use hot water to open your pores
Kigawa: I understand how you feel, but it will damage your skin, so please switch to lukewarm water starting tonight. If you dry your skin with hot water, it will harden your skin and make it difficult for your pores to open. Before washing your face with soap, prewash your face with lukewarm water to open your pores normally.

・Rinse carefully
Kigawa: It's a problem if the cleanser remains, but if you rinse it too much, all the moisture will flow out, so be careful. A good quality soap will remove bubbles easily and prevent rinsing too much.

・I wash my face morning and night with a face wash that allows double face washing.
Kigawa: This facial cleanser contains a large amount of synthetic surfactants, so continued use for a long period of time can damage your skin.

Stop using it in the morning, and at night, remove your makeup and double-wash your face with soap, even if it's a hassle, or refrain from using foundation as much as possible and only use soap.

Alternatively, we recommend using this face wash only when using foundation.

Lotion (technique)

The important thing about lotion is 3H.
・Put in as much as you want.
- Gently press by hand.
・Ideally, apply until the skin surface becomes cold.

While adhering to 3H, here too!

[Techniques to become beautiful]
・Make sure to prepare carefully in the morning. It will change the way you stay moisturized throughout the day.
・If you leave the lotion pack on for about 3 minutes and then add lotion, the effect will be doubled. Especially recommended in the morning.
・It's OK to move on to the next skin care routine when your skin is dry.

“Write down what you pay attention to when applying lotion.” (1 minute)
- We asked each person to take notes and give a presentation -

・I use my hands to blend it in.
Kigawa:I think it's good! The irritation that cotton fibers cause to your skin can cause stains. Also, if the quality of the cotton or the amount of lotion added to the cotton is low, it can irritate your skin and cause stains. If you use a hand press, you don't have to worry about that, and the warmth of your hands will help the lotion penetrate.

・Rather than using expensive lotions a little at a time, I try to use a lot of them even if they are cheap.
Kigawa: If anything, it is more effective to use plenty even if it is cheap. The ultimate purpose of lotion is to deeply absorb moisture into the stratum corneum so that no more water enters the skin.

・Since I use an all-in-one, I don't use lotion.
Kigawa: When your skin is well hydrated, the serum or oil you use afterwards will penetrate into your skin properly. All-in-one products are convenient, but their moisturizing effects are limited. Think of it as emergency skin care when you're busy.

・In order to improve blood circulation, it is applied while stimulating the skin.
Kigawa: If you hit your skin too hard, it may damage the collagen fibers and cause them to sag, so please use a gentle and careful method to apply the product.

If you want to improve blood circulation, one way is to perform lymphatic massage on the collarbone, parotid gland, etc. beforehand. Scalp massage is also effective.

Moisturizing care (techniques)

What is important in moisturizing care is 3Y
・Good oil content
・Do not stretch with your fingers.
・Let it penetrate slowly

While protecting 3Y, here too!
・Do not try to force it into your skin.
・Learn how the skin works: water enters first, then oil and nutrients penetrate.
・If you feel dry during the day, add more immediately.
・If you don't like the stickiness of oil, mixing it with serum or gel will reduce the stickiness.

“Please write down what you pay attention to when performing moisturizing care.” (1 minute)

・Lighten the T-zone
Kigawa: The T-zone tends to have thick dead skin, so it is very important to always keep your skin moist and soft.

Also, your skin tries to maintain a balance, so if it determines that it doesn't have enough oil, it can actually open up your pores and secrete a large amount of sebum.

Although it is an oily area, by moisturizing it thoroughly, excess oil secretion can be suppressed. So, don't worry too much about getting oily and try moisturizing normally. I think the pores will gradually become smaller and the blackheads will improve.

・Start applying from the forehead.
Kigawa: If possible, start by looking at your cheeks and eyes, which tend to dry out easily.

・Put some cream or oil on your face and spread it carefully from the center outwards.
Kigawa: I think many people spread oil or cream with their fingers, but starting tonight, try a different method.

If you spread it with your fingers, it won't penetrate your skin properly, leaving oil and cream on the outside of your face, which is a waste.

Massage the oil or cream between your palms to warm it up and spread it out, then apply it to your face using gentle hand presses.

Even if you don't get all the oil or cream in, it will penetrate over time, so you don't have to force it in. Please avoid causing unnecessary irritation to your skin.

Special care (skin care theory edition)
pack
・The peel-off type is very irritating.
・Clay type that can be washed off is recommended.
・Clay is mainly composed of minerals. The effects of clay are wide-ranging.
Moisturizing, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, reduction, cell activation, adsorption and absorption of dirt, unnecessary exfoliation

Massage
・Do not overdo it. Every day is too much.
・Do this very gently. It can cause melasma (spots).
・Lymph massage around the face is OK

hot towel
Opens pores and makes it easier to pull out dirt. Promotes blood circulation and nourishes the skin
-Limited to once or twice a week. If you do it every day, it will damage the barrier function made of moisturizing ingredients.
・The effect changes depending on when you apply it: after washing your face (nutritional effect) or before washing your face (effect to draw out dirt)

★ Extremely effective!sesame oilhot towel
After washing your face, apply sesame oil and then apply a hot towel. Your skin will become extremely shiny.

3. Try skin care
I learned what I just learned by actually doing it!
There are various assumptions and habits, and I gave advice on the method that suits your skin one by one.

In particular, everyone applied only enough lotion to dampen their skin.
I practiced applying enough lotion to my skin so that it would run off. At that time, we also gave advice to avoid wrinkles between the eyebrows.

After applying it, my skin became much clearer!
