Cleanse and Replenish — A Reset for Summer Skin with Clay and Thermal Spring Water
By August, skin exposed to relentless sun tends to carry a buildup of sweat, oil, and airborne impurities on the surface,
while feeling depleted of moisture and minerals underneath.
Sticky to the touch, yet somehow dry —
for this uniquely summer skin condition, KOTOSHINA recommends the
"After-Sun Care Set."
This time, we're introducing a special set pairing "French Clay Soap," for a thorough cleanse,
with "Face Mist," for delivering moisture.
"French Clay Soap": Cleansing That Draws Out Buildup
Clay (mud) care has long been cherished in France as a form of clay therapy.
White clay, known for its ability to draw out and capture impurities,
thoroughly removes sweat, oil, and airborne buildup, while delivering an abundance of minerals to the skin.
With continued use, dead skin softens, leaving skin feeling plump and smooth.
You'll even notice a difference in how well your toner or mist absorbs afterward.
"Face Mist": Hydrating with Spa Water and Tea Leaves
After cleansing, it's time to deliver the hydration of Face Mist.
Its base is natural spa water from Gamarde, France, which blends smoothly and instantly into skin.
This mineral-rich spa water absorbs beautifully into skin that's feeling flushed from summer heat,
while tea-derived moisturizing ingredients help guide skin toward a clear, refined finish.
With a light, oil-free feel, it's perfect for combating summer's "inner-dry" skin,
as well as for replenishing moisture throughout the day.
From "Cleanse" to "Hydrate": Your Summer Skincare Routine
-
Work the clay soap into a rich lather.
A fine, rich lather boosts its ability to draw out sweat, oil, and airborne buildup. Apply the lather to damp skin, cleanse gently, and rinse thoroughly.
-
Deliver moisture to clean skin with the mist.
Spray from a slight distance, then gently pat it in with your palms.
-
On days you want extra lock-in, layer on beauty oil.
This helps moisture absorb more effectively, replenishing the water and minerals summer skin often lacks.
This oil-free mist is also great for hydrating during makeup touch-ups, or refreshing the scalp.
Shake well before use.
