Albion: Dry skin's savior

Hello!

This is beauty freak chiko's beauty talk. I lead a beauty life where I accumulate easy daily beauty routines.


My 10 Years of Albino Love

I've slowly started to re-evaluate things, but I absolutely have to talk about Albino, which is inseparable from my skin history.

My main skin concern is dry skin.
Before I met Albino, there was no skincare that allowed me to feel confident all day.

Albino provides absolute peace of mind!

Unlike ordinary cosmetics, you apply it in the order of emulsion → lotion → serum.

I've lost count of how many times I've repurchased them.
Here's a look at my skincare combination.

Exage for those around 30

Exage White Milk III

With Albino, you start with the emulsion.
Exage has high moisturizing power, so I use "White" all year round. And of course, the number is "III" for maximum moisture.
The manufacturer recommends applying 3 pumps with a cotton pad until absorbed into the skin.

When my skin feels like a desert, it absorbs even 5 pumps quickly. The beauty advisor even told me that for special care, you should apply 8 pumps.

There's even a product called "Milk Pack" which is essentially just letting your skin absorb as much of this milk as it can. It instantly softens rough skin and improves the absorption of toner. It's especially recommended for post-sun care.

Exage Moist Active Lotion II

I switch between toners depending on the season.
I used Exage in winter and Exage White in summer.
When used with the emulsion, the absorption power is remarkably different. It penetrates deeply, moisturizing from within and leaving skin plump and soft.

Infiness Melano Resistance

For serum, I upgraded one level to Infiness, which has better brightening power than Exage. It's twice the price of Exage, but it's a great deal because a miniature set of the Infiness skincare series comes with it during seasonal changes.

If you properly seal everything in with this serum, you'll have perfectly moisturized skin that won't dry out!

Infiness for those around 40

I thought I was only using Infiness for serum, but before I knew it, I had switched to using the whole line... The absolute sense of security that it won't dry out remains the same, but Infiness also incorporates "anti-aging" elements. It's a line that lifts the skin upwards. I loved the eye cream in this series, including its packaging, but the product itself was discontinued... What a shame.

My skin felt good, and I wondered if I could go back to Exage... but when I did, the lines on my cheeks clearly started to sag.

Perhaps anti-aging really does require the power of science, after all (orz).

So, I immediately went back to Infiness.

However!!
I realized that the "sagging" and "dullness" that typically require anti-aging can be resolved with facial muscle training and lymphatic massage, and unexpectedly, I "graduated" from Albino. This is a deep topic, so I'll save it for another time.

How to apply Albino emulsion with massage

I used to do a facial sculpting massage without using cotton. Facial sculpting massage refers to the massage technique by Hisako Tanaka, whom I trust immensely.

However, Hisako Tanaka's facial sculpting massage = SUQQU's gankin (facial muscle) massage. It's a quite firm and strong massage, which is why SUQQU's massage cream is very elastic.

This means... doing a facial sculpting massage with emulsion is dangerous!

It seems best to reduce the intensity and limit it to "lymphatic massage tracing the skin surface + pressing." Friction on the skin is strictly forbidden!!

Even this, it's better not to overdo it.
Lately, I've updated it to just lightly trace the skin surface.

After thoroughly massaging it in, your foundation won't crease even if you apply it immediately after skincare.

It truly holds up even in a dry office.

However, when you apply the emulsion by gently circling with a cotton pad, it gets absorbed more quickly. Please try both methods!

Looking forward to girl talk!

I tried it! I use this!
