Article: Moisture Rescue for Summer-Damaged Skin

Moisture Rescue for Summer-Damaged Skin

This summer brings unprecedented heat and intense sunlight, unlike anything before.
As rising temperatures cause skin to sweat and lose moisture, it responds by overproducing oil, which disrupts the barrier function and leaves skin in an "inner-dry" state — oily on the surface, yet genuinely dehydrated underneath.
Skin in this inner-dry state is more prone to trouble like breakouts, clogged pores, and rough texture, making it essential to cleanse away excess oil while replenishing the moisture it's lacking.
This time, we're introducing a face care set perfect for this summer.

■ Gently Cleanse Away Excess Oil, Building the Foundation for Hydrated Skin

Start by cleansing to remove buildup.
After wetting your skin, dispense a gel amount about 2–3cm in diameter into your hand, work it into a rich lather, and apply it to your face.

Face Wash Gel is rich in beneficial plant ingredients, including aloe vera leaf extract, which hydrates and soothes UV-exposed skin, and tea leaf extract, which helps replenish skin affected by UV damage.
It removes excess oil and buildup while leaving skin hydrated afterward, with a soft, gentle texture.


■ Moisture Rescue for Clear Skin: Replenish Hydration with Face Mist

After removing excess oil and buildup, replenish moisture with Face Mist.

The base ingredient, spa water from Gamarde-les-Bains in France, was historically used by soldiers to help heal their wounds. Once applied to skin, it absorbs*1, delivering hydration to dry skin.
The organic green tea in this face mist is also rich in vitamin C and catechins, which gently soothe UV-exposed skin.
*1 ...into the stratum corneum

Spray 2–3 pumps of mist directly onto your skin, then gently pat it in with your palms — or dispense the mist into your hand first and apply it that way.

Hot days are here to stay, so give your skin thorough hydration and enjoy a healthy, happy summer.
