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

I have been running a skin care shop for 16 years, and the most difficult product to sell is skin care oil.

Oil is sticky and can cause oil burns, right? Or will it block your pores and cause acne? After all, doesn't oil pamper your skin?

In this way, oil seems to be something that evokes some anxiety.

However, rather than blocking the pores, it opens them and eliminates blackheads, and on the other hand, it prevents sunburn, removes spots and dullness, and makes your skin brighter.

Moreover, since it is rich in nutrients, it is highly effective against aging, and I would like you to know that using high-quality skin care oil is very beneficial for preventing aging and keeping your skin beautiful. So far, I have talked a lot about oil care.

However, one thing we must not forget is hydration.

Speaking of hydration, lotion comes to mind.

Recently, there are all-in-one gels and serums, but at Milobina, we believe that the hydrating effect of lotion is essential for fresh-looking skin.

Milobina also has an all-in-one gel (mainly introduced as a serum) and a milky gel (anti-itch gel), but they are different from lotions in terms of firmness and freshness after applying to the skin.

When you're really busy, an all-in-one gel is really helpful! So, I don't mean to deny all-in-one gels, but I think that all-in-one types should be used as temporary care.

This is because each type of care has its own role and specialty. The idea of an all-in-one product is that if you mix it up and use it, you can take care of yourself all at once, and it's becoming increasingly popular! It's not sticky at all, leaves your skin feeling fresh, and feels great when you use it, which I totally understand.

But, but. When it comes to skin care, using them separately is far more effective.

The specialty of lotion is that it provides moisture. What your skin needs is moisture, and given that 60-70% of the human body is made up of water, water is essential for skin cells.

Lotion is an important skin care step that provides your skin with that precious water. Gel also has a lot of water, but lotion is all water, so of course the water content is different.

When water penetrates into the stratum corneum, the wrinkled corneocytes become plump and firmer. When all the cells become plump, your skin becomes extremely transparent, giving you a truly fresh and beautiful skin.

Even if your skin has plenty of oil, if there is not enough water, the texture will wilt and shrivel, the texture will be disturbed, a shadow will be created between the textures, and the skin will look dull and beautiful. It is not visible on the skin.

Transparency is something that water brings.

Gel's specialty, compared to lotion, is that it ``retains'' moisture. It's called moisturizing. Of course, it contains more water than oil, so it makes your skin plump. But it's not as good as lotion.

Therefore, at Milobina, we often talk about moisturizing and water retention separately.

Water retention literally means "giving" moisture.

Moisturizing means "retaining" that moisture.

After washing your face, apply a generous amount of lotion into your skin, and your skin will be hydrated, becoming clearer and glowing.

After that, apply moisturizing skin care to maintain that shine.

Now that I have talked about the role of lotion, I hope that you have understood the properties of lotion.

So, next time, I would like to talk about how to use lotion effectively.

Thank you for reading to the end today!

see you.
