Refined, Even-Textured Skin, Eagerly Awaiting Spring's Warmth
February, when the air reaches peak dryness for the year, brings together more skin-damaging factors than any other month — low temperatures, pollen, and more.
Let's care for skin with products generously formulated with deeply moisturizing tea seed oil, and aim for smooth, refined skin texture.
■ The Stratum Corneum's Barrier Function
Our skin is made up of three layers — the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue — with the outermost part of the epidermis known as the stratum corneum.
This stratum corneum carries out a barrier function essential to keeping skin healthy, retaining moisture while protecting skin from external factors like friction.
For this barrier function to work properly, a balance between moisture and oil needs to be maintained — but irritants like dryness, cold temperatures, and pollen can throw that balance off, weakening the barrier's function.
Once the barrier function weakens, skin texture suffers, and dryness tends to spiral further out of control...
■ Moisture Care with Beauty Oil
To keep the barrier function from weakening, it's essential to thoroughly replenish moisture through daily skincare, then seal that moisture in so it doesn't escape.
KOTOSHINA's Beauty Oil is a great choice for this kind of moisture care.
Its key ingredient, tea seed oil, is rich in oleic acid, a component found in the skin's own protective oil film — one part of its natural barrier function — so it absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling hydrated.
To get the most out of your beauty oil, start by gently cleansing with a rich lather. This reduces friction damage while letting the foam draw out impurities, leaving skin feeling thoroughly clean.
After cleansing, use it as a booster on freshly cleansed skin, so the moisture and nutrients in your toner can work more effectively.
Finish with cream, and your routine is complete.
Cold, dry days are still ahead, but with proper moisture care, let's welcome spring with beautifully refined skin.
We're also offering a limited-time special kit that lets you experience the full power of tea seed oil. Be sure to take a look at that as well.
