Japanese beauty tips – How to get clear skin

As everyone knows Japanese women have flawless, bright and smooth skin. In Korea, women depend on plastic surgery, but Japanese women do not, they prefer natural beauty, and prefer organic products to their beauty which is quite similar to beauty ideas of French women.

Japanese women are known for their flawless skin

Today I will show you simple skincare steps that people can easily do everyday to help improve the skin, the routine and products have changed according to skin needs. This skin care routine is included Japanese beauty tips.

How to get clear skin?

A. CLEANSING IS VERY IMPORTANT

1. Get used to double cleansing

Is it true that cleansing only required for people wearing makeup? Or Is it fine that you no need to have deep cleansing to remove sunscreen on your face? The answer is definitely not. During sleep, the kidney and liver make the process of exchange and excretion, unhealthy impurities are pushed up the epidermis, using cleanser alone is not enough to have healthy skin for sure!

Cleansing is one of the most important steps

Have you notice that around the nose area in red and oily, when you rub it with your hand, there is a foul smell. With oily skin and sebaceous gland disorders this usually happen. Therefore, I advise everyone to wash your face gently with cleansing water before using cleanser.

In the evening when I go home, I apply double cleansing so that the skin is as relaxed as possible, also remove the risk of acne as well as blackheads.

What is |b|triple cleansing|b|? Step by step with cleansing water - cleansing oil - cleanser. A lot of you will wonder if I do not makeup, just apply sunscreen, should I do many steps or not?

The answer is that it depends on the product people choose to use.

Because only the oil can dissolve the oil, the optimum option for combination skin to oily skin is cleansing oil.

However, It’s not compulsory that everyone has to have the same cleansing process as me, that just because I feel my skin will be the best if I apply triple cleansing into my daily skincare routine. If you think cleanser and cleansing water is enough and do not have any problem with acne, then keep going. Skin care is not only based on science but also has to be appropriate and effective on different skin types as well.

Cleansing water I recommend: Bioderma H2O Solution Micellaire (pink)

Cleansing oil I recommend:

• Shuuemura Anti/Oxi+ Skin-Refining Anti-Dullness Cleansing Oil (blu)
• Melvita Milky Cleansing Oil
• Innisfree Green Tea Balancing Cleansing Oil
• No7 Beautiful Skin Cleansing Oil
• Facil Mild Cleansing Oil
• Covermark Treatment Cleansing Oil

Cleanser recommended (choose pH 5.5 or lower, no soap and odorants, colorants, preservatives ...):

• Cerave Foaming Facial Cleanser For Normal to Oily Skin
• La Roche Possay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel

With Beauty Gadget, if you have not invested in washing machines, you can simply use Sephora's silicone pad. There is also Hada Crie N4000 with ion technology but these Japanese beauty tools usually come with high price, so it’s optional.

2. Exfoliate

Exfoliate helps eliminating dead cells

The skin is an organ that constantly changes, the skin consists of three main layers: the epidermis, the dermis and the subcutaneous tissue. Skin parts such as cysts and sweat glands, sebaceous glands also play different roles in the overall function of the skin. The outer layer of the skin is made up of dead cells, which are routinely eliminated (with more than 30,000 skin cells per minute) as a mechanism to maintain skin health. The resurgence rate of skin cells is 3 weeks when we’re 20s and becomes slower over time. The new generation of skin cells, pushed to the surface of the skin, causes the layers of dead skin cells to peel off, and as such, the layer of dead cells is formed continuously.

Our skin can not completely eliminate dead cells. So, whether you choose scrub, peeling gel ... or chemical exfoliation (AHA / BHA), we still have to do the exfoliating to get rid of the old layer on the surface of the skin.

The physical exfoliation method, also known as mechanical exfoliation, is method of using scrub products ( type of grain, which causes the skin to become abrasive during the scrubbing process). The old layer on the epidermis is removed, new skin layer underneath get emerged. This method is popular nowaday, but rubbing the skin for long periods of time will cause the skin to thinned out, vulnerable as it has not promptly regenerated new skin layer. Therefore, I recommend everyone use exfoliating or peeling gel, I am using Cure Natural Aqua Gel – A Japanese cosmetic.

3. Lotion mask

Lotion mask 

Lotion Mask is a method of applying moisturizing mask instantaneously, can be applied daily, take advantage of cotton remover and lotion. This beauty idea has been widely known by Chizu Saeki. Everyone can watch Chizu Saeki's videos to learn how to do lotion masks!

After 2 months applying this method, my skin is fully hydrated and small winkles disappeared. Now I know why both Koreans and Japanese are in favor of glowy skin while European has to use highlight products. They do not need that for their skin but it still looks like shining.

Lotion I recommend:

• Albion Skin Conditoner (acne and sensitive skin)
• Cosme Decorte Herbal Vitalizing Lotion (acne and sensitive skin)
• Nuxe Gentle Toning Lotion ( absobed quickly into your skin, easy to use and affordable 13€/2 bottle, 200ML/each)
• Whamisa Organic Flowers Lotion Orginal (normal to combination skin, suitable for autumn and winter)
• Whamisa Organic Flowers Lotion Deep Rich (dry skin, suitable for winter)
• Caudalie Moisturizing Toner (dry skin, suitable for winter)
• Azoma-Zone Rose de Mai, real rose water, drinkable (normal to combination and oily skin, suitable for summer and autumn, for winter it should be mixed with 1-2 argan oil drops to ensure your skin is moisturized)

B. MOISTURIZER

After all skin care steps, do not forget moisturizing your skin, whether it is emulsion, cream, gel cream, oil-free cream, fluid cream, as long as these creams contain ingredients that help hydrates the skin, for example: hyaluronic acid.

If you do not use moisturizing creams and lotions, you can choose facial oil. Winter is cold and dry, facial oils is really suitable for all skin types, just make sure you choose the right oil for your skin.

C.  TAKE CARE OF YOUR NECK

According to Dr. Eric Katagiri, a beauty expert from Japan, the skin on your neck is very sensitive and easy to form wrinkles. Japanese women take care of this area very thoroughly by exfoliation, sun protection and neck massage regularly.

Your age will reflect on your neck skin

The important step is to use an anti-aging moisturizer for the face apply throughout the neck area and gently massage each evening.

Small tips before going to bed: you can wrap a soft towel and put on the neck to avoid wrinkles during your sleeping.

CONCLUSION

Each skin care method is different, are you curious why’s that? Because each country, each region has unique climate and temperature as well as humidity. Applying skin care method that suitable with your skin type, climate and humidity is very important. 

So Let’s choose the best skin care routine for yourself!

3CE LiLy Maymac lipstick review

Lily Maymac is a hotest girl emerging as a phenomenon after the sexy pictures she posted on her Instagram. As all of you may know that she is really famous for her plump lips on nude shades lipsticks. This year, once again she launched her new lipstick range co-operated with 3CE - prestigious Korean cosmetic brand. The lipstick line includes 3 different gorgeous nude shades which are famous for her make up look. Let’s see what interesting combination has:

3CE LiLy Maymac deep nudes

This lipstick line only has 3 nude shades which are limited edition and produced periodically consists of 118 Holly Rose, 119 Hold On and 908 Warm and Sweet.

3CE LiLy Maymac 119 Hold On review

This is the lightest color among 3 shades so I was a little worried that it might make me more pale. However, It didn’t when I tried it on my lips. I thought it would be similar to Mac Kinda Sexy whereas it wasn’t cuz actually the lipstick was like deep orange but a bit lighter.

If you are upset with Shu Uemura MCR 342 cuz it is powdery on your lips or you deeply keen on Charlotte Tilbury Sexy Sienna but the price is out of your budget. Let’s try out 3CE LiLy Maymac 119 Hold On with the shade is much more similar. I may say the similarity is up to 90% comes with good quality but the cost is affordable.

The lipstick goes smoothly and sharply on your lips. The fact that I do not possess LiLy Maymac’s sexy lips but the lipstick made it more plump.

One more point that is if you already bought this lipstick, why not make use of it as a blush. you won’t ever feel disappointed about that at all. So sexy you are with the nude lipstick and the matched blush on your cheeks. I tried and loved it so I believed some of you may too.

3CE LiLy Maymac 908 Warm and Sweet review

This is the most neutral shade among those lipsticks. The shade is very natural so it looks like your natural lips color. It’s easy to wear daily and that also my favorite shade in this lipstick line.

118 Holly Rose - Sexy Dark Rose

I would say the color like a rose in a night that full of stars. Well! I am trying to be romantic but seems like I’m fail hehe. Back to the point, no wonder why many women chooses this shade for special end-of-year events thus it make you attractive and outstanding.

“I have literally been converted to 3CE- I LOVE their matte lipsticks! Holy Rose was the first color I bought before coveting the other lipsticks in the company's line; the color looks great with my slightly olive skin tone. Sometimes it's hard to find a good lip color here in the US that compliments my skin color (or the shades look like the usual ones every brand has). 3CE has some awesome mix of shades that stay on your lips pretty well without looking cheap/chalky” - Amazon customer’s review.

Last but not least, as all 3 shades can easily mixed together and create new shades, owning 3 of it is absolutely a good choice. Plus, the price is affordable.

Hightlight points:

• Easy-to-use color matchs with all skintone
• Good quality in term of price
• well design: luxurious and eye-catching

sumary

This is the lipstick line that I recommend you to try it out if you a nude shade fan.

Re-purchase: yes!

Review Byphasse Micellar make-up remover solution

Hey, welcome to my blog! In the whirlwind of the micellar make-up remover water, I am still loyal to the ordinary "makeup remover" kinda with oil or cream texture because the default thought stuck in my head is that only deep cleansing oil has enough strength to get rid of all the dirt and cosmetics clinging to my skin pores, until recently when my biore cleansing oil was finally used up and the supermarket was too far away, I immediately rushed to a comestic shop near home and consulted using this BYPHASSE cleanser.

I know it’s is the DUPE version of famous Bioderma cleanser. Actually, I have not used Bioderma even though it is well known, the cleanser is quite expensive, I am still a student who is struggling with my budget every month so I always use products with affordable price ... I decided to try it out ... Tada, so a review was born like this, Let’s scroll down …

First impression

The first impression is that this bottle is very big, I have to say that is super big because of 500ml. So I can use it as much as I can, yeah…so happy!.

In addition, because the price of this product is quite cheap, its packaging is transparent plastic with a pinky flush lid. Although there is no luxury packaging, the transparent plastic helps you see the product inside so it should be ... ok.

Fragrant

This product does not smell very pleasant, this is not alcohol smell. It’s light and last temporarily so I also accept it.

Ingredient

According to what I know, this is the Spanish cosmetics company so the text on the product is also Spanish, I will list the ingredients below:

Ingredients: Aqua, Glycerin, PEG-6 caprylic / capric glycerides, Propylene Glycol, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Polyaminopropyl biguanide, Panthenol, Disodium EDTA, Decyl Glucoside, Parfum, Citric Acid, Bisabolol, Sodium Hydroxide.

Product Effectiveness

One of my favorite things about this product is that it is so mild that it can remove both eye and lips make-up, which are sensitive parts and often require a separate make-up remover. So we save up a bit more for beauty then yay.

After a period of use, I found that this is a product that satisfies all three criteria:

• Good quality
• Affordable price
• Easy to use

Take a quick look at the test product image below:

After wiping off the foundation, lipstick, eyebrow, mascara, it leaves the moist feeling for skin. It is like your skin just drinking water, this is my favorite point in this product.

Another important point that can not be missed is convenience. Since this is a water-based remover, I usually use it to remove sunscreen at noon and wash my face with clean water. Then after 30minutes I re-apply sunscreen. And you also easily extract products to the small size bottle to carry when traveling, too convenient isn’t it?.

Pros

• Low price

• Deep cleansing
• Do not make my skin dry after using it
• Can remove both eyes and lips make up
• Alcohol and paraben free

Cons

• The smell is not fragrant

Conclusion

Currently I have not found any defects on this product because I fell in love with it. The downside that I listed actually is not a problem to myself though, just maybe some people may not like this smell so I listed it as a "cons". Definitely will re-purchase or recommend it to my friends, yay!
