You probably heard of the phrase, "Clear Skin".What is exactly the Clear Skin? Is it the fair skin without suntan? Or is it the skin with no freckles or spots? Everybody may have a different image of Clear Skin. We'd like to talk about it with a point of view of the 'Light'. Skin Clarity Let's take the glass as an example.Clear glass has the depth you can see through.It's because of the smooth surface of the glass letting the light reflect evenly. Once scratching its surface, it starts to reflect the light randomly (irregular reflection), and it becomes like the semi-transparent glass of the shower room. It actually can happen to the skin, too.Smooth skin reflects light evenly and creates depth, however, the uneven surface makes the skin semi-transparent. That means, it can be said that "Clear Skin" has a neatly-arranged surface and the stratum corneum of the skin. Use W Hyaluronic Acid to achieve "Crystal Clear Skin" Lululun has found beauty ingredients, which reach both epidermis and stratum corneum of the skin, "W Hyaluronic Acid." Due to the weakened skin barrier function or aging, the altered skin turnover cycle leads to skin thickening and uneven texture of the skin and making you look tired and older. It's often caused by environmental stress such as UV exposure, air pollution as well as aging. Hyaluronic acid is known as a skin moisturizing component, but it also blocks external stimulus by attaching to the skin.   Adsorption Type Hyaluronic Acid and Penetrating Hyaluronic Acid What we mean by 'W Hyaluronic Acids' are Adsorption Type Hyaluronic Acid (Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid) and Penetrating Hyaluronic Acid (Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate). Adsorption-Type Hyaluronic Acid (Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid) is a hyaluronic acid that has a cation group attached to a part of sodium hyaluronate. It stays like a veil on the surface of the skin and has a feature of its high absorptivity that does not run off even if it comes in contact with water or sweat. Penetration Type Hyaluronic Acid (Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate) is a hyaluronic acid obtained by reducing the molecular weight of sodium hyaluronate to 10,000 or less. With features of low viscosity and high penetrating ability, it maintains the stratum corneum healthy by penetrating into the stratum corneum and moisturizing. These two hyaluronic acids protect the skin from external factors and maintain the skin elasticity by reflecting the light. This results in leading to the “Crystal Clear Skin.” Which Lululun contains 'W Hyaluronic Acids'? New Lululun Precious Facial Sheet Mask, WHITE contains these ‘W Hyaluronic Acids’.Lululun Precious WHITE is good for morning skincare, in addition to nighttime skincare, because of the ability of W Hyaluronic Acids protecting skin from external factors.

If it's your first time trying Lululun, you may be confused about how to choose the right mask for your skin. We'd love to explain here and make it easy for you to pick one for tonight! Lululun is a pioneer of a daily sheet mask in Japan Using a sheet mask as a skincare routine was considered ”luxury” back in about 10 years ago. Lululun made an affordable sheet mask without compromising the quality with the hope to bring the luxury moment to busy women’s routine. (Lululun campaign in 2013) DAILY-USE MASK We have three different daily-use mask ranges, which are Lululun Regular, Lululun Precious, and Lululun Over 45.

Lululun Over 45 is the new series for the skin after 45 years old. Some studies show that women’s skin changes to the next stage after 45 years old.

Facial cleansing is something you do every day, but if you don’t do it the right way, your skin ended up building dirt or being damaged, and that leads to even worse. No matter how expensive skincare products you use, your skin stops absorbing products and doesn’t properly work.   Furthermore, the built-up dirt causes germs or oxidizing skin, causing acne/pimples, inflammatory, rough skin, clogged pores, and other skin troubles.  INDEX: 1. BENEFITS OF WASHING FACE THE RIGHT WAY • Promotes Skin Turnover Cycle• Improves Blood Circulation and Encourages Detoxifying• Prevents Skin Troubles 2.

HABITS TO AVOID AFTER CLEANSING • What Blue Light does to the Skin• Protect Your Skin with Catrolino BENEFITS OF WASHING FACE THE RIGHT WAY   • Promotes Skin Turnover Cycle Washing the face is important to remove not only makeup but also dust, excess sebum, and dead skin to promote skin turnover cycle. • Improves Blood Circulation and Encourages Detoxifying Some said that gently massaging your skin with ring fingers while cleansing the skin can improve blood circulation. That way, we could expect a detoxifying effect from better blood flow, which promotes discharging impurity.   Here is a tip!When you massage your face, make sure to use ring fingers because it's the weakest finger of all. The key here is you want to minimize the stress to the skin while massaging to improve blood flow. If ring fingers are not strong enough, then use both middle and ring fingers.   • Prevents Skin Troubles Old sebum causes enlarged and clogged pores eventually becoming blackheads. Cleanse pores and secure the exit of sebum will prevent skin troubles. AVOID “OVER-CLEANSING” Many facial cleansers contain a surfactant to dissolve water and oil, however, it can stress your skin. For example, the surfactant washes off dirt and the sebaceous membrane (the skin protection factor) at the same time and loses NMF* (natural moisturizing factor).*NMF has a role to maintain adequate skin hydration and protect the skin from damage. Therefore, it's important to avoid "Over-cleansing."Choose the right facial cleanser that only removes unwanted dirt and maintains moisture on the skin and minimizes the stress to the skin. Here is a tip!Choose different cleansers depending on your skin conditions, for instance, choose a powerful cleanser, such as an oil cleanser, when you wear full-face makeup, but choose a mild cleanser if you only wearing sunscreen. HABITS YOU SHOULD AVOID AFTER CLEANSING   • Use Smartphone Before Sleep It feels so nice to relax after washing off the makeup. But the problem is after that. Don't you have a habit to check your phone or watch videos with tablets??Blue light from a smartphone, computer, or TV not only worsens your sleep quality but also leads to several skin damages.   • What Blue Light Does To The Skin 1. Destroys Collagens Blue light is the most powerful energy among all visible light and can reach deeper layers of the skin than UV could. Some studies suggest that blue light may destroy fibroblast that synthesizes elastin and collagen. Also, the skin will lose its elasticity, leading to wrinkles and saggy skin. 2. Potential Hyperpigmentation It's said that this powerful light may generate melanin pigment in the skin. Have you heard of the phrase, “smartphone-face tan”? This is becoming common knowledge in Japan, and too much exposure to blue light may cause hyperpigmentation, dull skin, and spots. 3. May generate Active Oxygen Like UV light, recently blue light has been discussed to generate active oxygen that damages the skin by destroying cell membranes and can be a cause of dry, dullness, and aging skin. 4. Causes Eye Strain and Aged Look "Almost all visible blue light passes through the cornea and lens and reaches the retina. This light may affect vision and could prematurely age the eyes." - preventblindness.orgDigital eyestrain may lead to dark circles under the eyes and giving you an aged look due to too much tension around the eyes.     • Protect your skin with Catrolino Carotolino that is contained in Lululun Cleansing Balm Aroma Type has skin protection benefits against blue light.This natural oil derived from carrots is gentle to the skin and protects the bare skin from the blue light after washing off the sunscreen.   ▲ This image shows the Carotolino absorbing blue light.
