This is my favorite skin lotion. It is not sticky but hydrates my skin very well. What I like most about this product is that it effectively works for every skin concern such as resilience, glowing, smoothness and transparency.

I’m using this serum after skin lotion especially in summer. This keeps moisture within the skin though the serum is not sticky. This item mainly has 3 effects: covering the skin to keep the moisture, conditioning the skin so that it can absorb the essence of the other skincare items, and protecting skin from dryness and other damages.
When you want something not oily to lock in the moisture for your skin, this would be the one.

I love this jelly, and I’ve been using this for years. The reason why I can’t give up this product is that it feels so good when I spread this jelly on my face and that I know ceramide included in it would have a good effect on my skin.

I use this skin lotion in combination with the Jelly Aquarysta introduced right above. This lotion has a skin lightening effect and inhibits melanin production.
I rely on ASTALIFT’s skincare products very much because I know its technology is outstanding.

I use this item to make my skin smooth and to remove skin dullness. This serum is to be used after face washing, and it removes all the unnecessary things on skin such as dead skin cells. Though this is named “skin peel”, this serum doesn’t peel the skin. This product would normalize the skin turnover cycles to keep the skin healthy.
If you have trouble with skin dullness, you should try this one!

This face mask is introduced in this page (Facial Sheet Masks Popular in Japan (for daily use)). This is made out of Japanese rice, and the texture is like risotto. As described in this page (Japanese Skincare Brands for Dry Skin), the essence of rice is really good for skin.
How to use this product is as follows:
– after cleansing, smooth a thick layer onto skin
– leave on for 5 minutes,
– and then rinse with water or warm water.
(I usually use this pack in the bath:))
I really like this item because my face will be so bright after using it.

This face wash is also from Keana Nadeshiko. This is made out of baking soda which is effective in removing dead skin cells and pore gunk. The skin will be quite clear after using this.
The reason why this is my favorite is that it is very easy to use. Though I use a foaming net when I wash my face, this face wash doesn’t require it. This is really useful when I’m too tired to wash my face.

As written in this page (Japanese Popular Skincare Brands), SOFINA Grace is popular among ladies at mothers’ age. I use SOFINA Grace’s skincare items when I stay at my parents’ house. The skin lotion hydrates skin very well, and the emulsion plumps skin.

I bought this serum because a sample worked on my skin very well. This can be used on sensitive skin and has a skin-whitening effect. Also, the beauty ingredients prevent spots and freckles and make skin bright. The texture of the cream is really nice (neither too thick nor too light), and I feel my skin gets moisturized. This is definitely my favorite item.

As written in this page (Facial Sheet Masks Popular in Japan (for daily use)), this sheet mask is one of my favorite items. Since I want to brighten up my skin tone, I persist in using this product which includes plenty of vitamin C derivatives. Vitamin C derivatives are good at keeping skin hydrated, and it results in clear skin.
Also, one package includes 22ml of face serum, which is what I like most about this item. This is suited for daily use.
