Here we will cover how to check your skin type, how to identify ingredients, and everything from basic cosmetics and makeup to pouches.

Give your mother or mother-in-law a smile on Mother's Day!

1-1. Checking skin type is the first step when choosing a gift!

• Dry skin : Be sure to check for signs of dryness and tightness. Highly moisturizing products containing hyaluronic acid and ceramide are recommended.
• Oily skin : If you are concerned about oily skin or pores in the T-zone, we recommend oil-free formulas or products containing sebum-controlling ingredients.
• Sensitive skin : If you are prone to redness and itching, choose additive-free, alcohol-free, and fragrance-free hypoallergenic cosmetics!

1-2. Focus on ingredients to combat aging skin concerns

• To combat dark spots , use whitening serums containing vitamin C derivatives and tranexamic acid.
• For lack of firmness , retinol, collagen, and Japanese herbal extracts (such as ginseng and angelica) can increase elasticity.
• To improve dullness , use fermented extracts and enzyme-based facial cleansers to remove dead skin cells and achieve a clear complexion.

1-3. How to read ingredient lists correctly

1. Check the ingredients from top to bottom : If an ingredient is listed at the top, it is used in high amounts.
2. Check for irritating ingredients : PEG-based surfactants, synthetic fragrances, and coloring agents are the top to watch out for.
3. Don't be put off by long chemical names : In some cases, the alcohol names, such as "isostearyl alcohol," can be irritating.

　　Do n't just look at the sales pitch, be sure to check all the ingredients !
