A cleansing foam that reduces the friction that causes aging and clears away dullness
Skin care is important for moisturized, trouble-free skin. It is also important to do your skin care in the correct order. If you do it the wrong way, you could end up putting a strain on your skin, so be careful.
This time, we will explain the role of skin care, the correct method of care, and the order in which to care for your skin. At the end, we will also introduce some recommended products from Ask Labo, so be sure to check them out.
There are many different types of skin care items, each of which has an important role to play. From here on, we will introduce how each item works.
The role of cleansing is to remove oily dirt such as makeup . If you leave makeup on, your skin cannot breathe and you are more likely to have problems. Also, makeup dirt can clog your pores, causing inflammation and leading to acne. It is important to always cleanse your skin on days when you wear makeup and remove it thoroughly.
Cleansing can also remove old sebum and blackheads that are clogged on the skin. If sebum accumulates on the skin or blackheads remain, the pores on the bare skin will become more noticeable, so be careful. By doing a thorough cleansing, you can thoroughly remove these dirt.
There are many different types of cleansers, but if you are wearing light makeup, a cream will suffice. On the other hand, if you are wearing heavy makeup, we recommend an oil type that contains a lot of cleansing ingredients.
Washing your face helps to remove dust and dirt from your skin . It also helps to wash away dead skin cells and sebum that have accumulated in your pores. Dust tends to accumulate on your face when you sleep, so it is important to wash your face as soon as you wake up in the morning.
It also serves to wash away any makeup stains that were not completely removed by the previous day's cleansing. While cleansing removes makeup ingredients by lifting them off, facial cleansers are foamed up and used to absorb and remove any remaining dirt on the skin.
Depending on the cleanser, double cleansing is not necessary, but if you wear heavy makeup, washing your face after cleansing will make you feel refreshed. Also, washing your face thoroughly the morning after cleansing will help to keep your skin even cleaner.
Once you have thoroughly removed the dirt from your skin with a facial cleanser, it is time to moisturize and nourish your skin . The first step to do so is toner. Toner should always be used as the first step in your skin care routine after washing your face.
The main ingredient of lotion is water, and when applied to bare skin, it fills the skin with moisture. As a result, it makes it easier for the ingredients of serums and emulsions used later to penetrate into the stratum corneum. Lotions that contain a lot of water tend to evaporate easily, so it is necessary to seal them in with cream afterwards.
Lotion contains a wealth of moisturizing ingredients, and when applied to the skin, it replenishes moisture to the surface of the skin. By increasing the skin's surface moisturizing ability, it leads to beautiful, smooth skin.
If you use a skin pack, it is recommended that you use it after preparing your skin with lotion. Skin packs allow moisture to penetrate your bare skin over time . However, using a pack every day will cause your bare skin to lose its ability to moisturize itself, so use it as a special care product about once every 3 to 4 days.
Skin packs can also remove excess sebum and dead skin cells when removed. Be sure to remove the pack as carefully as possible to avoid putting too much strain on your bare skin. After removing the skin pack, it is important to use your hands to firmly press the serum ingredients remaining on your bare skin into the stratum corneum.
Sheet-type skin packs are the most common, but in recent years, spreadable skin packs have also been sold. Spreadable skin packs adhere better to bare skin than sheet-type packs and have greater penetration.
After preparing your skin with lotion and a skin mask, apply a beauty serum that contains plenty of active ingredients for beautiful skin. The role of a beauty serum is simply to provide nutrition to your skin .
Among all skin care items, serum contains the most beauty ingredients. By using a lotion to replenish moisture in your bare skin before using a serum, you can more efficiently absorb the ingredients into your bare skin.
Beauty serums allow you to pinpoint and focus on your skin concerns. There are products for the eye area, and products for blemishes, wrinkles, and dark circles, so choose one that will solve your problem. Many beauty serums are thick, and take longer to penetrate the skin than lotion. It is important to gently apply the serum to the skin using hand pressure, etc.
After moisturizing your bare skin with lotion and allowing the beauty ingredients to penetrate with serum or sheet mask, be sure to apply milky lotion or cream. Many people dislike using milky lotion because it contains a lot of oil. However, milky lotion has the role of forming a layer of oil on bare skin to seal it in .
The main ingredient in lotions and creams is oil, and they have a thick texture. Oil does not penetrate pores easily, but it stays on the surface of the skin and forms a film. This film protects the skin from external stimuli and also prevents the moisture that has been replenished from evaporating.
However, too much oil can actually cause skin problems , so apply sparingly to areas that tend to be oily and shiny, such as the T-zone .
As the final step in your skin care routine, it is important to apply sunscreen. Sunscreen is often thought of as a summer item, but it is recommended to use it all year round. This is because the ultraviolet rays that cause sunburn are severely damaging to the skin and are present all year round.
However, there is no need to use a strong sunscreen for everyday use. The lower the number of sunscreens, the weaker their ability to block UV rays. Therefore, it is important to use the right sunscreen for the right time and occasion.
For example, if you are going out for leisure activities, SPF50/PA++++ is safe. However, if you spend most of your time indoors and use it daily, SPF30/PA++ is sufficient. The higher the number, the greater the burden on your skin, so be careful.
Also, sunscreen tends to crease easily, so make sure it is fully absorbed into your skin before applying makeup.
There are various points to keep in mind when it comes to skin care, but from here on we will introduce points to keep in mind for each season.
In spring, the dryness subsides and the air becomes moist, but you still need to be careful of pollen and stress .
In spring, pollen becomes more likely to fly, and symptoms such as hay fever begin to appear. Pollen can also cause problems when it adheres to the skin, so be careful. Also, in spring, when new life begins, stress can easily make the skin sensitive. It is important to take proper care of your skin.
To reduce the burden on your skin caused by pollen, be sure to cleanse and wash your face thoroughly. Also, since bare skin can easily become sensitive, it is also important to choose skin care products that are gentle on the skin. Furthermore, UV rays start to increase during this time of year, so start taking measures against UV rays. Use sunscreen and take good care of your skin.
In summer, the amount of UV rays increases, making it essential to take measures against them . Another characteristic of summer is that the humidity is high, making the skin sticky. It is also a time when you tend to sweat more easily, so it is also a time when you worry about your makeup coming off.
When it comes to skin care in the summer, it is important to use sunscreen to protect against UV rays. However, sunscreens with higher UV ratings put a greater strain on the skin, so for everyday use outside of leisure activities such as the beach or mountains, a sunscreen with a lower UV rating is sufficient.
This is also the time when you start to sweat more easily and your skin problems increase. Normally, your skin is slightly acidic, but when you sweat, it becomes neutral and more sensitive to irritation. If you sweat, be sure to wipe it off frequently to avoid leaving your skin in an unsanitary condition.
When you sweat, your face can get shiny, so try to wash it off with water. Using oil blotting paper can remove the sebum your skin needs, making it more prone to dryness.
In autumn, the intensity of UV rays subsides somewhat, but the stress on the skin during the summer makes it easier to feel fatigued. In addition, the temperature difference between morning and evening becomes greater, disrupting the autonomic nervous system. This is a time when the skin's barrier function weakens, making it more susceptible to various problems.
When it comes to skin care during this time of year, you should focus on "damage care." If you leave the damage from summer untreated until winter comes, your skin condition may worsen due to damage caused by dryness.
Skin exposed to strong sunlight in the summer becomes hard and the keratin thickens. To promote skin turnover and eliminate melanin, use skin care products that can care for the keratin. When doing so, it is important to use gentle care rather than rubbing too hard.
When it comes to skin care in the winter, it is important to take measures against dryness . Dry skin weakens the barrier function and weakens the skin's defenses. In addition, the cold weather in winter reduces blood circulation, which can lead to various problems such as swelling, so it is also important to take measures against blood circulation.
To prevent dryness, first choose skin care products with high moisturizing power. It is also important not to remove too much moisture from your skin by washing your face too much. It is important to choose cleansing products and facial cleansers that do not have too strong cleansing power.
This is also the time when poor circulation can cause more damage to the skin, so it's important to take measures to protect your body from the cold, such as by doing moderate exercise and taking long baths. If possible, we also recommend getting a massage every night to improve your circulation.
Since everyone has different skin types, it is important to take care of your skin according to its characteristics . From here on, we will introduce the key points of skin care for each skin type.
People with oily skin tend to develop acne due to the proliferation of acne bacteria caused by excess sebum production. When acne occurs, the skin becomes inflamed, so first use a lotion for acne care to suppress inflammation.
Excessive sebum secretion can also be caused by skin care and lifestyle habits. First of all, it is important to review your lifestyle. An example of incorrect skin care is washing your skin excessively. This removes the moisture that your skin needs, causing your skin to secrete a large amount of sebum to protect itself.
Avoid eating only greasy foods. Stress and lack of sleep can disrupt hormone balance and lead to excess sebum production.
When you are exposed to a lot of stress, your hormone balance is disturbed and the skin's barrier function is weakened. As a result, your skin becomes delicate and sensitive to even the slightest irritation, so you need to be careful.
When you are stressed, your body will secrete more male hormones to counteract the stress. Male hormones also stimulate the secretion of sebum, which can make your skin oily and prone to skin problems, so be careful.
If you feel that your skin is tired and sensitive, try to take good care of your skin. It is important to take time with each step of using lotion, serum, and cream, and to be mindful of caring for your skin. Also, in this case, your skin is delicate, so use skin care products for sensitive skin.
As we age, our skin condition deteriorates. We tend to give up and think it's just the result of aging, but with the right care, it's possible to maintain youthful skin. Start anti-aging care as early as possible.
First, as we age , the amount of collagen that keeps our skin moisturized and elastic decreases . If this is left untreated, our skin will lose its firmness and elasticity. Use skin care products that are rich in collagen and moisturizing ingredients to replenish your skin.
Also, after the age of 40, signs of aging start to appear directly. One of the causes is ultraviolet rays, so be sure to take thorough measures against ultraviolet rays. Hormonal imbalances caused by stress and lack of sleep are also directly linked to aging, so be careful.
Combination skin is when some areas are oily, while others are dry. It can be said to be a tricky skin type because it is not possible to treat it all at once. Areas that tend to be oily include the T-zone. On the other hand, areas with thin skin, such as the cheeks and around the eyes, tend to be prone to dryness, so be careful.
When caring for oily combination skin, it is important to take different measures depending on the area. For example, use moisturizing cream sparingly on areas with a lot of oil, such as the T-zone, and apply generously to areas that tend to dry out. It is also important to focus on the T-zone when washing your face and cleansing.
If you have oily-combination skin, you need to be careful of "inner dryness." Even if the surface is oily, the inside is often dry, so moisturizing is important. In addition to skin care, you should also take thorough measures from the inside, such as drinking plenty of water.
The most important thing in skin care is moisturizing . If you neglect moisturizing care, your bare skin will dry out and cause various problems. Also, even if you think you are moisturizing carefully, you should be careful because using the wrong method can actually cause dryness.
When the skin becomes dry, it becomes thicker and harder, making it difficult for moisturizing ingredients such as lotions to penetrate. In this case, even if you replenish moisturizing ingredients, they will not penetrate into the stratum corneum of the skin, so there is little point.
To increase the skin's ability to absorb moisture, first try to soften your skin. It is also important to use exfoliating skin care products to remove dead skin cells and improve blood flow with massages, etc.
When bare skin becomes dry, its barrier function weakens. The skin becomes more sensitive to damage and reacts sensitively to even the slightest irritation. As a result, skin problems become more frequent.
When it comes to caring for sensitive, dry skin, moisturizing is key. Dry skin can cause problems, so moisturize your skin thoroughly to keep it in good condition. Choose skin care products that contain plenty of moisturizing ingredients.
The barrier function can also be caused by a disruption in cell turnover. This is often caused by daily stress and lack of sleep, so try to reassess your daily life. It is also important to get enough sleep, refresh yourself appropriately, and try to relieve stress.
Many people probably use the same skin care routine all the time. However, the purpose of skin care is different in the morning and at night. Therefore, changing the routine for each day will make your skin care more effective.
Morning skin care has the role of removing sweat and dust accumulated during sleep and preparing the skin before applying makeup . Another purpose is to replenish moisture to the skin and reduce damage from ultraviolet rays that will be exposed to it later.
The key to your morning skin care routine is to wash your face carefully first. It is important to use a facial cleanser, as sebum and sweat secreted while you sleep cannot be washed away with water. Be sure to lather well and wash gently to avoid irritating your skin.
After thoroughly washing your face, apply basic skin care in the following order: lotion, serum, and cream. Finally, apply sunscreen. If you don't have time, you can skip the sunscreen and use a makeup base with sunscreen properties instead.
When doing your nighttime skincare routine, it's important to start with a thorough cleansing to remove all sebum and makeup . When cleansing, don't rub your skin too hard, but gently stroke your skin and use circular movements to remove your makeup.
Once you've finished cleansing, use a facial cleanser to remove any dirt that the cleanser didn't remove. If you use a facial cleanser with a strong cleansing power, it will remove the moisture that your skin needs, so choose one that is gentle on your skin.
After cleansing and washing your face, apply lotion, serum, and cream in the same way as you did in the morning. To mitigate the damage caused by UV rays during the day, apply plenty of lotion and allow the serum to penetrate carefully.
When you have time, such as on the weekends, it is important to give your skin special care. A face pack is recommended as an item to use for special care. Be mindful of the order in which you use each product.
Many people worry about the order in which to use face masks. Generally, you should use it between lotion and serum. However, if the face mask contains a lot of oil, using it first will prevent the serum from penetrating as well, so you should use it after serum and before cream.
Some people also use face packs while taking a bath, but this is a no-no. The moisture you have just replenished will be washed away with sweat and the water from the bath. You should use a face pack after you get out of the bath and your sweat has subsided to a certain extent.
