Gentle Beads for Plump, Beautiful Skin — Summer Exfoliating Care
June, when rainy season sets in, is a time when UV levels stay strong even on overcast, cloudy days.
Skin exposed to a lot of UV rays experiences weakened barrier function, allowing moisture to escape more easily and leaving it prone to dryness.
Beyond UV rays, sudden rises in outdoor temperature and humidity cause pores to open, while stepping indoors exposes skin to drying air conditioning — leaving skin constantly pulled in different directions.
On top of that, skin that keeps losing moisture starts overproducing oil in an effort to protect itself from further dryness, causing oil to build up on the surface and gradually thicken over time.
When this happens, moisturizing products like toner struggle to absorb properly, disrupting turnover and leading to trouble like dark spots and dullness.
To help restore normal turnover, gently care for that thickened, unnecessary layer of dead skin with Gommage Clear, and work toward soft, dewy, plump skin!
■ How to Use Gommage Clear
Before using the gommage, reset your skin with a proper cleanse.
Face Wash Gel, formulated with tea leaf and natural spa water from France, lathers up beautifully, leaving skin feeling clean and refreshed, along with KOTOSHINA's signature rich green tea scent.
Next, dispense an amount of Gommage Clear about the size of a 500-yen coin into your palm, and spread it over your still slightly damp face.
Gommage Clear has a creamy texture generously packed with natural jojoba bead exfoliants.
Its small, round particles cling closely to the skin, allowing for gentle exfoliation.
Using the fingers of both hands, gently massage in circular motions, working from the inside of the face outward.
Move in order from below the chin up toward the forehead.
Give extra attention to areas that feel rough or where pores are more noticeable.
Since oil production tends to increase this time of year, be sure to focus on the T-zone and around the nose.
Use a light touch, gently massaging in small circular motions with your fingertips.
We also recommend massaging from behind both ears down toward the neck in circular motions with your fingertips, helping support the release of built-up waste.
Once you've finished massaging, rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
■ Summer Exfoliating Care for Plump, Dewy Skin
Skin that's been cared for with Gommage Clear feels remarkably soft and dewy to the touch.
Follow up with thorough moisture from your toner or oil, and work toward truly plump, healthy-looking skin.
