Skin Types + Regimen
The key to keeping skin looking and feeling healthy is hydration. Depending on your specific skin type – whether oily, dry or somewhere in between – it’s important to choose products that address your individual skin care needs, but also provide essential hydration to help combat the aging effects of time and environmental aggressors. With Hada Labo Tokyo™, each product is formulated with Hyaluronic Acid – nature’s “moisture magnet” – so you can lock in moisture every time. Find your skin type below and read on to determine what regimen is right for you.
My Highlight? It’s Called Oily Skin
Do you have the occasional breakout or blemishes, or does your makeup easily wipe off? If so, you may have oily or acne-prone skin from excessive oil production.
Step away from the sink and cleanser. Did you know that over-washing your skin with a cleanser more than twice daily can actually over-dry skin and lead to an increase in oil production? Limit washing to just twice a day, morning and night, to remove debris and makeup. Stick with gentle cleansers and avoid harsh exfoliators, which can also lead to excessive oil production.
Fight oil with water…water-based anti-aging products. Using lightweight and oil-free products with a super moisturizing ingredient like Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring, water-loving substance in your body, helps keep the skin hydrated and protected. Hyaluronic Acid attracts and locks in moisture helping to restore and strengthen the skin’s own natural ability to stay hydrated and healthy. Plus these products are extremely gentle and ideal for acne-prone skin, which can be sensitive and have an imbalance in oil production.
Recommended Anti-Aging Regimen:
Start with a gentle, hydrating cleanser followed by a lightweight, oil-free hydrator during the day. As you moisturize, your skin’s oil production will lessen and come back into balance. Then try adding the Skin Plumping Gel Cream as part of your anti-aging regimen, morning and night.
Morning:
Evening:
- Gentle Hydrating Cleanser
- Anti-Aging Hydrator
- Skin Plumping Gel Cream
- Age Correcting Eye Cream (if desired)
Skin So Thirsty
If your skin feels rough or tight, or is flakey and dull looking with premature wrinkles and fine lines, you probably have dry skin. Dry skin is often sensitive, so look for anti-aging products that are non-irritating and fragrance-free, paraben-free, and dye-free.
An anti-aging and plumping gel cream can help dry, irritated skin feel instant soothing relief. Anti-aging products with Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring substance in your body, also locks in more moisture for longer-lasting hydration. A Hyaluronic Acid gel cream for dry skin can immediately restore a healthy, moisturized look and feel, and boost skin’s natural ability to stay hydrated with anti-wrinkle and skin-smoothing benefits.
Recommended Anti-Aging Regimen:
A deeply hydrating skin care routine with long-lasting moisturization that lasts all day and night can be achieved by layering lightweight products and indulging in moisture amplifying, skin renewing masks.
Morning & Evening:
Weekly (immediately after using an anti-aging cleanser):
- Anti-Aging Facial Sheet Mask (1-2x per week)
- Express Renewal Eye Mask (2-3x per week)
- Follow with the Anti-Aging Hydrator and Skin Plumping Gel Cream if more hydration is desired
That Flakey, High Shine
Do you have a glistening T-zone while other parts of your face feel tight, look flakey, dry, or show signs of aging? You probably have combination skin. Typically the forehead, nose, and chin become oilier because they have more active oil glands than the rest of your face, like the cheeks, eye area, and mouth.
Using lightweight, rehydrating anti-aging products with Hyaluronic Acid will help you balance both skin type concerns. Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance in your body that helps your skin stay hydrated. Proper moisturization can help reduce excessive oil production in your T-zone while moisturizing drier parts, improving the overall appearance and health of your skin.
Recommended Anti-Aging Regimen:
Use a mix of oily and dry skin anti-aging skin tricks: apply a lightweight hydrator all over your face and a plumping gel cream for dry skin areas afterwards. As your skin’s natural oil production lessens, add the gel cream to your night routine.
