The fundamental importance of makeup removal
The effects of not removing makeup on your skin
Causes of clogged pores and acne
If you leave your makeup on, dirt will easily accumulate in your pores. Foundation and sebum will mix together and clog your pores, causing acne and blackheads. In particular, your skin regenerates during the night, but if makeup remains on your skin, this process will be hindered. It is important to keep your pores clean to protect your skin's health.
Risk of premature skin aging
The habit of not removing makeup can accelerate skin aging. Makeup residue oxidizes and damages the skin, making wrinkles and sagging more noticeable. It also weakens the skin's barrier function, making it more vulnerable to external stimuli. This makes the skin more susceptible to dryness and inflammation, undermining skin health.
Why the right makeup remover can help protect your skin
Helps regenerate skin
During the night, your skin produces new cells and repairs damage. To make the most of this process, it's important to thoroughly remove makeup. Clean skin is better able to absorb the ingredients in your skincare products and promotes regeneration. Proper makeup removal is the first step to maintaining healthy skin.
Maintains the skin's barrier function
The skin's barrier function protects the skin from external stimuli and pollutants. By properly removing makeup, you can maintain this barrier function. Removing excess dirt increases the skin's natural moisturizing ability and protects the skin from dryness and irritation. This helps maintain skin health in the long term.
Proper makeup removal steps to keep your skin healthy
How to Choose the Right Cleanser
Choosing the right product for your skin type (dry, oily, sensitive, etc.)
When choosing a cleanser, it is important to first understand your skin type. For those with dry skin, we recommend cream or milk type cleansers that are rich in moisturizing ingredients. These are gentle on the skin and keep it moisturized even after cleansing. For those with oily skin, oil or gel types are suitable as they can thoroughly remove excess sebum. For those with sensitive skin, choose a product that is gentle and does not burden the skin. Check the ingredients label and choose one that does not contain alcohol or fragrances for peace of mind.
Tip : Using a cleanser that suits your skin type will reduce harshness and keep your skin healthy.
Types and characteristics of cleansing agents (oil, gel, cream, etc.)
There are many different types of cleansing agents, each with its own characteristics. Oil types are attractive for their high cleaning power that can thoroughly remove heavy makeup and waterproof products. Gel types are suitable for light makeup and are characterized by their refreshing feel when used. Cream and milk types are gentle on the skin and are suitable for those with dry or sensitive skin. Wipe-off types are convenient when you're out and about or busy, but be sure to moisturize your skin thoroughly after use to avoid friction on the skin.
Steps for removing makeup
How to give a gentle massage
When using a cleansing agent, be careful not to rub your skin too hard. Take an appropriate amount in your hand and gently spread it over your entire face. Use the pads of your fingers to massage in a circular motion to lift away makeup and sebum. Be especially careful to do this around delicate areas such as the eyes and mouth without using too much force.
Tip : Massage helps increase blood circulation, which supports healthy skin.
The importance of rinsing and the correct way to do it
After cleansing, rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Avoid using water that is too hot, as this can strip the skin of moisture. Rinse your entire face gently, being careful not to leave any cleansing agent behind. Be sure to thoroughly rinse areas that are prone to residue, such as the hairline and under the chin.
The necessity of double cleansing
The benefits of double cleansing
Double cleansing is a step to wash away dirt and sebum that was not removed by cleansing. This makes the skin cleaner and allows skin care products to penetrate better. Double cleansing is especially effective on days when you wear makeup or during seasons when your skin produces a lot of sebum.
Tips to avoid excessive washing of the face
When using double cleansing, be careful not to wash your skin more than necessary. When using a facial cleanser, use a foaming net or similar to create a good lather and avoid direct friction on your skin. After washing your face, it is important to immediately apply moisturizing care to keep your skin moisturized.
Note : Washing your face too much can weaken the skin's barrier function, so be sure to only wash your face in moderation.
Precautions and common mistakes
How to reduce stress on your skin
Do not rub hard
Rubbing your skin too hard when cleansing can cause friction and damage to your skin. It is especially important to be gentle around delicate areas such as the eyes and mouth. When using a cleanser, use the pads of your fingers and gently rub the product into your skin in a circular motion. This will help the makeup lift off your skin and reduce the burden on your skin.
Tip : This gentle formula helps keep skin moisturized and bright even after cleansing.
Use the right amount of cleanser
If you use too little cleansing agent, your makeup may not be removed properly and you may have to scrub your skin more often. On the other hand, if you use too much, it may put extra strain on your skin. It is important to check the product's instructions and use the appropriate amount. Using the right amount will help you remove makeup efficiently while protecting your skin's health.
Actions to avoid
Sleeping without removing makeup
Sleeping without removing your makeup can clog your pores and cause acne and rough skin. In addition, makeup residue can oxidize, increasing the risk of premature skin aging. At night, your skin regenerates. To avoid interfering with this process, make sure to remove your makeup before going to bed.
Note : Even on busy days, regular cleansing is key to keeping your skin healthy.
Using products that don't suit your skin
Using a cleansing agent that is not suitable for your skin type can cause skin problems. If you have dry skin and use a product with strong cleansing power, your skin will become even drier. If you have oily skin and use a product with a lot of moisturizing ingredients, your pores may become clogged. When choosing a product, check the ingredients list and choose one that is suitable for your skin.
Tip : Using the right products for your skin will help maintain your skin's barrier function even after cleansing.
Supplemental care after removing makeup to keep skin healthy
Care after thoroughly removing makeup is essential to maintaining healthy skin. Proper moisturizing and skin care can strengthen the skin's barrier function and protect it from external stimuli. Below, we will introduce specific supplementary care methods.
The importance of moisturizing
How to choose a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated
When choosing a moisturizer, it is important to choose one that suits your skin type. For those with dry skin, we recommend moisturizers that contain ceramides and hyaluronic acid. These ingredients lock in moisture in the skin and keep it hydrated. For those with oily skin, a light-textured gel type is suitable. For those with sensitive skin, it is best to choose a hypoallergenic product that is fragrance-free and colorant-free.
Tip : Using the right moisturizer for your skin type will help keep your skin healthy and resistant to dryness.
Time to moisturize
It is effective to moisturize immediately after washing your face and removing your makeup. Applying moisturizer when your skin is still damp helps to lock in moisture. In your morning skincare routine, be sure to moisturize thoroughly to prevent your skin from drying out during the day. At night, it is recommended to use a highly moisturizing cream to help regenerate your skin.
A holistic approach to skin care
Use of lotions and beauty serums
Toner is a basic step in hydrating your skin. Apply it using cotton or the palm of your hand, gently pressing it into your skin. Then, use a serum to focus on your skin's concerns. For example, if you're concerned about dryness, choose a serum rich in moisturizing ingredients, and if you're concerned about dullness, choose a serum containing vitamin C.
Tip : Combining a toner and serum can help support skin health more effectively.
Regular skin check and care
The condition of your skin changes depending on the season and your lifestyle. Regularly observe your skin in the mirror to check for dryness, redness, and the condition of your pores. It is important to review your skin care products as necessary and respond to changes in your skin. It is also effective to receive professional advice from a dermatologist to maintain healthy skin.

FAQ
When removing makeup, what should I do about point makeup?
We recommend that you remove point makeup, especially eye makeup, first with a dedicated remover. The skin around the eyes is the thinnest on the face and is sensitive to irritation. If you try to remove it together with cleansing, you will end up rubbing too hard, which can cause dryness and pigmentation. By gently removing it with a dedicated remover, you can aim for beautiful skin while protecting the health of the eyes.
Tip : Taking good care of your eye area can help prevent fine lines and dark circles.
How much cleanser should I use?
It is important to follow the product's instructions for the amount of cleanser to use. If you use too little, your makeup will not be removed properly and you will have to scrub your skin more often. On the other hand, if you use too much, it can put extra strain on your skin. By using the right amount, you can effectively remove makeup while minimizing the strain on your skin.
Tip : Use the amount that you can spread evenly over your face when you put it in the palm of your hand.
Is double cleansing always necessary?
Double cleansing is effective for thoroughly removing makeup and sebum. However, some cleansing agents do not require double cleansing. For example, products that can wash and cleanse your face in one go are convenient for busy days or when you are tired. It is important to choose a product that suits your skin type and lifestyle.
Caution : Excessive washing of the face can weaken the skin's barrier, so avoid washing more than necessary.
How can I treat blackheads?
If you are concerned about dark spots in your pores, it is effective to gently massage in a circular motion when cleansing. This will help remove dirt and keep your pores clean. Also, rinsing carefully with lukewarm water will prevent any cleansing agent from remaining. By continuing regular care, you can reduce the visibility of your pores.
Tip : The key to reducing the burden on your skin is to gently massage rather than scrub too hard.
Why does my skin feel tight after cleansing?
If your skin feels tight after cleansing, it may be because you are using a product with too strong cleansing power. To keep your skin moisturized, it is important to choose a cleanser that contains moisturizing ingredients. Also, be sure to moisturize your skin immediately after cleansing to lock in moisture.
Tip : Choosing the right cleanser for your skin type can help reduce tightness.
Do I need to cleanse in the morning too?
Cleansing in the morning is necessary to remove sebum and sweat secreted during the night. However, if you are not wearing makeup, a facial cleanser alone may be sufficient. Be sure to check the condition of your skin and take appropriate care.
Caution : If you neglect your morning skincare routine, your makeup may not stick or last as well as it should during the day.
Which type of cleanser should I choose?
It is important to choose a cleansing agent according to your skin type and the thickness of your makeup. Oil-type cleansers are recommended for heavy makeup, while gel-type cleansers are recommended for light makeup. Cream or milk-type cleansers are suitable for people with dry skin. If you have sensitive skin, choose a product that is mild and does not contain alcohol or fragrances.
Tip : Understanding your skin type and choosing the right products can help keep your skin healthy.
Why is it important to moisturize after cleansing?
After cleansing, your skin is prone to losing moisture. Moisturizing at this time will lock in moisture and prevent your skin from drying out. It is particularly effective to use moisturizers that contain ceramides or hyaluronic acid. If you neglect to moisturize, your skin will become more prone to dryness, which can cause problems.
Tip : Moisturize immediately after washing your face to strengthen your skin's barrier.
What happens if you go to bed without removing your makeup?
Sleeping without removing your makeup can clog your pores and cause acne and rough skin. In addition, makeup residue can oxidize, increasing the risk of premature skin aging. At night, your skin regenerates. In order not to interfere with this process, make sure to remove your makeup before going to bed.
Note : Even on busy days, making sure to cleanse your skin regularly is the shortcut to beautiful skin.
What skin care do you recommend after cleansing?
After cleansing, it is recommended to replenish moisture in the skin with a lotion and then provide intensive care with a serum. After that, you can lock in moisture with a moisturizing cream to keep your skin hydrated. It is also important to regularly check the condition of your skin and review your skin care products if necessary.
