Good Bye, Dry Skin!




1. Skin type, differs all the time
‘How come I have dry skin cells even though my skin is oily?’ If you have those kinds of questions, you do not need to worry. Your skin type is not always the same. You can have oily skin in the summer, and then get dry skin in the winter. Your skin type may change according to your condition and if you are on your period. Therefore, you should make sure to take care of your skin accordingly.

2. Essential Multi-moisturizing prescription!
Your face can be all dry or partially dry. There are also differences on how dry it can get. If you have really dry skin, use products that can enhance both moisture and oil, and if your skin gets itchy and hurts, then you have to go to the dermatologist. If you have sebum as well as dry skin cells, you need partial moisturizing care.

3. Choose your beauty products carefully
You need wisdom when you buy beauty products. When choosing facial products, choose one that doesn’t have alcohol in it if you have dry skin and choose on with alcohol in it if you have oily skin. This is because alcohol makes your skin dry by removing the oiliness. When choosing essence or cream, use on with both oil
and water. If there is too much oiliness in the product, it may create acne or pimples.

4. Wash with knowledge
People with dry skin make take frequent and long showers or baths to keep their skin moist. However, this will make your skin more dry. Keep your baths or showers under fifteen minutes and use lukewarm water instead of hot water.

5. Check your outing clothes
Make sure cold air does not touch your skin too much by applying masks, etc. Nylon stockings or spandex pants will make your skin dry because of its synthetic fiber materials.

6. Moisture indoors.
It is important to take care of your skin not only outside but also indoors. Always maintain an optimal temperature inside, and turn on the humidifier to keep moist.

7. The power of self-massage
Dryness causes aging. Therefore, massage yourself about once or twice a week for 3 to 5 minutes in order to keep good blood circulation and to boost your metabolism. After you wash your face, put some massage cream on your cheeks, chin, forehead and nose and gently massage your face in a circular motion from inside to outside. Wipe off the cream with a tissue or steam towel and then resume your skin care.

8. People with neutral skin, don’t be careless
Even people with neutral skin who have a lot of moisture can become dry in the winter. When you wash your face, make sure to use cleanser products that are not irritating, and make sure to apply sun block moisturizer products during the day. An adequate amount of toner is good too.

9. Special care for the worst of the worst dry skin
Winter is the scariest and the most painful season for people with dry skin. Make sure to keep your skin lively by massaging it and use rich moisturizing products. Use cleansing cream that contains oil, and soap that has weak acidity. Use moisturizing packs once or twice a week, and mix essence and nutrient cream in a 1 to 1 ratio to use for massages.

Large Pores?

You have applied make up base and primer in order to cover your widened pores every morning. However, what if the residue from make up, sebum, and waste slowly pile up in between those pores?





Q. What is the reason that pores keep on getting bigger?
A. Pores are the main exit that secrete sebum. Therefore, when sebum increases, the pores get bigger.
The pores increase during adolescence due to hormone changes, and after you are 25 years old, they get slightly wider. Thus, pore widening is a natural phenomenon that happens when the skin gets older due to the secretion of sebum and ageing of the skin.

Q. Oily skin vs Dry skin, how can I take care of my skin?
A. The most important thing to do for people with oily skin is to cleanse your face thoroughly. Cleanse your face by creating bubbles and massage gently. Also remove your dead skin cells and sebum about once or twice a week. Do not use scrub products that have big scrub grains because this can actually make your pores wider.
After you wash your face, use astringent to keep your pores tight and apply moisturizer that has little oil in it.
On the other hand, people with dry skin cannot remove dead skin cells which can block the pores and make them bigger. Therefore, it is recommended to clean your pores about once a week. Also, after you wash your face you need to apply a lot of moisture. Dry skin can cause aging and can create bigger pores.

Q. How can you block your pores from getting bigger?
A. 1. Weekly dead skin removal. When you feel like your skin has become darker, rougher, and make up does not
apply well, that is the right time to remove dead skin cells.
2. Try to avoid alcohol and spicy food.
3. Do not squeeze acne with your hands.

Q. Black head can create more pores, squeeze them out VS leave them alone?
A. First of all, it is better to remove black heads both visually and functionally. The best way to remove them at home is to use nose packs, but frequent use can cause the pores to get bigger. One or two times a week is the best according to what skin type you have.

2011 F/W Makeup Trend

RED LIPS : A forever symbol for make up
Frankly, red lipstick is something you must have all year long, but this season's red lipstick is somewhat cool and free. The bold and stinging red lip is clearly affected between the 1920s and the 1960s from women in the past. However, instead of appearing heavy and classic, it seems more sleek, artificial, and even surreal.



EYE MAX : Excessive eyelashes and minimal eye-line
The focus point for this season's eye make-up is the eyelashes. You don't need to apply long artificial eyelashes and put excessive masacara as Twiggy had done in the 1960s, but you do need to purchase a mascara that has good performance. Also, the eye-line techniques of many artists seem to have changed over the past seasons and now minimalism appears to be the trend. Eye-line that is long, thin, and carelessly applied reminds us of a water and ink painting.




VINTAGE PEARL : Glamourous pearl that seems handmade
'The pearls seem to big or small', 'It shines from whichever angle you look at it due to its high reflection'. These descriptions are of no use anymore. Especially when you see this strange and mysterious light. This seasons' pearl make up is glamourous and shy as well as elegant.




SOFT EDGE : Elegant beige, taupe, brown
There have been hundreds of products that have these three colors, but they are always elegant. They are colors from nature like sand, trees, and deserts. However, they are more than city-like and glamourous. The reason it seems more elegant this season is because of the sophisticated touch that brings about an artistic mood which is different from the original natural nude make up.

1. Remove all excess dead skin cells
If you have dead skin cells on your skin, the base product will not
stick well to your skin. If you want full effect, make sure you remove
all dead skin cells and moisturize your skin with moisture pact or moisture cream.

2. Moisturize and keep it natural
The key point to natural make up is to keep it clean and moist. First, in order to
keep your skin moist and bright, apply toner and moisturizer and moisture ample.
Afterwards, put on sun block and apply BB cream on top.

3. Don't put on too much BB cream.
There are natural plant ingredients in BB cream, so make sure you choose one that
doesn't stimulate your skin too much. To get a natural look, make sure to apply
BB cream slightly. Put some on your cheeks, nose, forehead, chin and then softly
spread it out with the palm of your hand. Finally tap it lightly to finish.

4. How to use concealer
When you want to cover something after light make-up, using concealer is the best
choice. Make sure you don't leave a boundary between the cover area and the base.
Also, when you fix your make-up, it is better to use concealer instead of powder or
compact products.

Rough cheeks, how to apply foundation.

When fall comes around, your cheeks become sensitive and rough, due to frequent weather change and cold wind. We will tell you the solution to this problem, especially after you have tried all different kinds of foundations.

1. Calm your dead skin cells by using mist products for sensitive skin
During the changing of seasons, you should consider changing your skin care products as well. We recommend using products that are not irritating and those that are for sensitive skin. Put skin or mist on a cotton ball and use it to wipe your face. Do not put too much force when you do this so only the outer part of your cheeks can get damp.

2. Blocking sunrays and keeping your skin moist
You should never leave out the most basic moisture layer. Choose cream for sensitive that doesn’t have a lot of chemicals in it. Sun rays can irritate your skin, so use products for sensitive skin and spread on your face lightly by gently tapping it on.

3. Foundation for cheeks only.
Spread on moist liquid foundation on your face besides your cheeks. Afterwards is the important part! With a 1 to 2 ratio, mix balm (about the size of a pea), and liquid concealer. (about the size of a bean)
