Asian women care about an impeccable, fresh look. This applies to both the complexion that is supposed to be smooth and luminous, but also to the perfect make-up. There are no women in the world who attach as much importance to cosmetic products and their packaging as the Japanese and Korean women. Colorful lip oils, pillow foundations, creams with a filter to even out the skin color - these are a few cosmetics that are worth knowing.
Asian cosmeticsfor makeup and care look beautiful and smell delicious, but their greatest advantage is extraordinary effectiveness. Cosmetic manufacturers focus primarily on skin problems and the effect that you want to achieve by using the product. Asian women always want to look flawless, which is why they take care of their skin very carefully. The makeup they put on every day can never resemble a mask. The fashion for illuminating the skin comes from Asia (dewy makeup), where women present glowing, smooth and he althy skin.
The basis of theAsian makeupis a highlighter or a foundation that illuminates the skin. Cream with a high filter is used all year round, so even make-up cosmetics must fulfill a protective function. The lips are moisturized many times a day, preferably with colored oils or lip varnishes, which are extremely durable. Japanese and Korean women also use deep skin care, and for this purpose they use oils, serums, essences and multi-purpose masks. The inhabitants of Asia do not forget about the daily skin massage, thanks to which they can enjoy their youthful appearance for many years.
Sheet mask
Sheet maskis one of the standard care products in Asia with a beautiful history. 300 years ago it was Asian women who initiated the fashion for sheet masks. They put silk cloth soaked in herbs on their face, the equivalent of which today is the sheet mask. The original formula is based on care for ingredients and effectiveness. Normal masks in the form of a cream contain many thickening ingredients that are designed to keep them on the surface of the skin for the right amount of time.
A sheet mask does not need suchauxiliaries, as it is the material that keeps everything close to the skin. As a result, the active ingredients penetrate the skin better, and the use of the cosmetic is more hygienic, easier and pleasant. This is probably why this traditional Japanese method of care has also been recognized in Europe. In Asia, on the other hand, it has already been thought that you should take care of your nails in a similar way. The tiny stickers soaked with the conditioner are put on the nails and taken off after the indicated time.
Sponge foundation
Asians are crazy about hygiene. A cosmetic with a sponge applicator is a product that can reduce the growth of bacteria in fluids, creams and powders. You can choose fromfoundationin a sponge, blush in a sponge, powder in a sponge, and sometimes evenmoisturizing cream . How does it look like? Instead of a packaging with an opening or a pressed bottle applicator, there is a soft sponge at the end of the cosmetic. By shaking and turning the tube downwards, the content flows to the sponge, and the sponge can be transferred directly to the face while applying make-up.
The packaging does not need to be opened or rummaged in, which prevents oxygen from getting inside. Bacteria do not have an environment to develop, and the cosmetic lasts longer. This method of application is also very practical. It saves time, is easy to use anywhere and is very handy (we don't need a brush). Unfortunately, there are still few companies in Poland that offer products with a sponge applicator, so you need to carefully follow the news and check online drugstores.
Cooling eye stick
Another very practical care gadget is an eye stick, i.e. a cream in the form of a stick. At first glance, it resembles a lipstick, and it is very easy to confuse it with it. The most popular are sticks with a cooling effect, which contain extracts ofaloeor bamboo. Asian women use them in the morning to refresh their eyes and reduce puffiness. You can keep the stick in the fridge and use it as many times as you want during the day, e.g. if your eyelids are getting tired from working at a computer monitor. It is a light, comfortable and exceptionally aesthetic cosmetic. Recently, it can be bought in Polish drugstores.
Lip tint
Multifunctionallip gloss , which Korean women owe their charming, girly smiles. Lip tint is a highly pigmented lip tint that can have a matte or glossy finish. Its biggest advantage is that it can conjure up three types of makeup: delicate, medium and strong. It all depends on the number of layers, pressure and method of application. Besides, lip tint is notrolls on the lips and has a long durability. Many cosmetic manufacturers envied Asia and introduced more or less successful versions to their offer.
Multifunctional cream with SPF
Cream with SPFprobably sounds cliche to you. No wonder if you only reach for it in the summer. Asian women use sunblock evenly all year round, and they're not just any creams. SPF is a permanent addition to powders, foundations and day care cosmetics. Creams with a filter, in addition to their protective role, can reducewrinkles , regenerate, moisturize, nourish, brighten and even matt the skin. With us, this trend is still not very popular, because the strong sun shines only for a few months. You will find multifunctional creams with SPF among dermocosmetics and cosmetics from proven high-end Polish producers.
Jade rolls
Jadeite is called the stone of youth. A Japanese facelift is performed with the help of a tool that resembles a kitchen roller. The action of jade is, among othersclosing pores , reducing swelling around the eyelids, improving blood circulation, reducing the signs of aging, improving skin tone and calming down. You can buy the device and learn how to massage yourself, but the best results are obtained in professional salons. In Asia, it is part of the daily skin care of women of all ages.
