  • Clockwise from top left Minon Amino Moist Moist Creamy Wash 100g ¥1650/MINON (Daiichi Sankyo Healthcare Customer Service), I’m From Face Essence (M) 160ml ¥4,400/I’M FROM (Ariel Trading) , Luminous Hydrating Sheet Mask 4 pieces ¥3,300 / BEIGIC

    In addition to sensitive skin, dryness is a concern this time of year. Skin care is a standard that requires items that are gentle on sensitive skin and have moisturizing power. MINON Amino Moist Moist Creamy Wash, a dreamy paste-type facial cleanser that combines detergency and moisturizing power after washing. The vegetable amino acid cleansing ingredients protect the skin's natural moisture, and the fine cream lather leaves the skin moisturized and comfortable after washing. I also like Korean beauty products, and I tried many things this year, but my favorite is the mugwort extract lotion from the skincare brand "I'm From." Mugwort is said to be the Korean tea tree and is known as a soothing and purifying herb. Reliable companion. The scent of mugwort is soothing, and I love using it as a cotton pack. Special care is a sheet mask from Korean vegan skin care brand “Basic”. Containing a thick essence that concentrates vitamins and botanical extracts that provide moisture and improve texture, it leads to a bright impression on dry and dull skin. The sheet made of vegan cellulose derived from natural cotton seeds is gentle on the skin, and the 15-minute mask time feels like a home spa to me. If you have these 3 items this winter, you will be able to spend your time without worrying about rough skin. (VOGUE GIRL Editor Chikako Kurasumi)

    2021 I lived in masks from the beginning to the end of the year, but I think I can finish the year on an upward note by investing diligently in skin care without suffering from major skin problems. Looking back on this year, here are the 3 items that made me think, "Thanks to this!" From the left, "B.A Deep Clearizer" is a special care that I continue to use once or twice a week. When you wash your face with a slightly warm gel cream as if massaging it, the old stratum corneum that causes the skin to become stiff is removed, leaving it moist and smooth. It would be nice to say that skin care is completed at the same time as washing. The most noticeable change was that clogged pores disappeared and my skin became softer and brighter. In the center is the latest "Rejena Balancing Toner" from "Wafito", which I use regularly for my delicate zone soaps and shampoos. I heard that it was a lotion for sagging pores that had been a problem for a long time, so I started using it. A rich fragrance of essential oils that makes you want to take a deep breath and enjoy the fresh and juicy texture. When you put it on at the end of the day, you will feel relaxed and relieved. And last but not least, a vitamin C serum that exerts its multi-purpose power against sebum, pores, dullness, blemishes, sagging, and all other skin concerns. My favorite is the Antipodes golden serum. Naturally derived vitamin C, botanical hyaluron and bakuchiol are the key ingredients that lead to glossy skin. It doesn't feel tight after use, so it's recommended to apply it before base makeup. It is a reliable product that can be quickly applied when the skin is overall tired or dull.

  • Clockwise from top left: Pure Shot Essence Lotion 150ml ¥9,240 / YVES SAINT LAURENT, VT CICA Bubble Sparkling Booster ¥1,815 / VT COSMETICS, Soft Clay Velvet Mask 50g ¥4,620 / FEMMUE (Ariel Trading)

    No matter how tired I get home from work or how annoying it is to take a bath, my motto is to never neglect skin care. Thanks to that, I have extremely dry and sensitive skin, but I was able to spend this year without worrying about any major skin problems. Right now, my ideal is plump, firm and translucent skin that feels like rice cakes. This time, I chose 3 items that I felt could get closer to the skin more quickly. First of all, the absolute must-have is “Pure Shot Essence Lotion” from “Yves Saint Laurent”. It's a two-layer lotion containing argan oil from Morocco, but when I put it on at night and go to bed, the next morning my skin looks like a different person. You can feel the tone-up and crisp and firm skin that is not just one tone. It's not sticky and has a smooth texture that feels great on the skin. The second is a clay mask from “Famyu”. I often thought that clay masks were not good for my skin because I was worried about the tightness of my skin. It is also good that it absorbs the dirt in the pores and makes the skin smooth. The last item is a rescue item for skin troubles. If you have a premonition of trouble such as pimples or rough skin, ask for help from "VT Cosmetics", which is familiar with CICA ingredients. It's a cream type pack, but it's a small package for each use, so it's hygienic. When applied to the skin, it starts to crackle and foam, and when it is washed off, the texture is smooth and clean. Nevertheless, it is an excellent product that keeps moisture. These 3 items that were indebted this year will continue to be indebted next year. (VOGUE GIRL Editor Saya Yonekura)

  • Clockwise from top left: Cica Cleansing Balm 100ml ¥3,300/MGB SKIN (Megut Beauty), Genoptics Ultra Aura Essence (quasi-drug) 50ml ¥26,400/SK-II (SK-II), Leaf Balm 20g ¥2,970/ON&DO

    One of the cosmetics that impressed me this year is the "Cika Cleansing Balm" from "MGB Skin" that I started using this year. For me, who has been using the same cleansing product for many years with the mindset that all I need to do is remove my makeup, this balm left a deep impression on me. You can feel that not only makeup, but also pore dirt and rough skin are removed. I also love the refreshing scent of lemon, making cleansing time a little healing time. I used to put off taking off my makeup, but when I get home, the first thing I do is go to the washbasin. And you can't miss the "SK-II" items. 2021 was the year when I made my long-awaited debut of SK-II, and in addition to the Facial Treatment Essence, I started incorporating the Genoptics Ultra Aura Essence this fall. rice field. I had high hopes for this new whitening serum from the Genoptics series, which represents SK-II, but the texture, fragrance, and feeling of use exceeded my expectations! After use, your skin will feel radiant and radiant. The texture and scent are also pleasant, and I have come to face my skin more carefully. The item that decreased the fastest this year was the "Leaf Balm" from "ON&DO". This is an item that focuses on the wax component "cuticle" that covers the surface of camellia leaves, forming an ultra-thin moisturizing barrier on the skin, confining beauty ingredients while protecting the skin. Until now, skin care was finished with milky lotion, but when I put this skin care balm on as a finishing touch, my skin feels plump and moisturized the next morning. It can be applied to the lips, body, and hair, and is very useful as a rescue item because it is thin and easy to carry around. I'm in love with all three items so much that I can't let go.
