oh{FISH}iee: Review: Hatomugi Skin Conditioner by Naturie Japan

When it comes to skincare, one of the few that I admire the most is the Japanese. How can the Japanese skin be so soft and supple while the fair complexion just glows so perfectly? So I googled what are the popular beauty products among Japanese, and I found this:

IMJU NATURIE Skin Conditioner ナチュリエスキンコンディショナー

Rate 4.6/5 in COSME & in imomoko.com

No.1 Skin Conditioner of Imju Naturie

Japanese women have recently been loving this skin conditioner as a solution to their vanity woes, and I wonder why is it so highly demanded in Japan? Thanks to SaSa for bringing it into Malaysia, so that we, beauty lovers can try it without spending much.

“Hatomugi” (“Job’s tears” in English) has long been called “a plant for life and health”, and popularly consumed as tea for health or herbal medicine. Therefore, Hatomugi skin conditioner uses such Hatomugi’s effects in repairing and conditioning the skin.

♥ Well, don't belittle this bottle of lotion, it has more than 10 benefits / usage including:

1. Brightening / Whitening
2. Soothing
3. Tighten pores
4. Smooth skin surface
5. Normalize the turn-over cycle of skin cells
6. Reduce spots, blemishes and aging skin
7. Help in acne and wart conditions
8. Repair the sunburned skin
9. Tone the skin
10. Freshen the skin

By adding Hatomugi extract to normal human dermal fibroblast for 3 days,

research shows that the amount of hyaluronic acid has greatly increased!

If you do not know, hyaluronic acid is a common ingredient found in your mask to boost moisture into the skin. Thus, this skin conditioner is able to provide a surge of hydration. I'd say it is best to use it daily so that the skin can be more supple and moisturized. ♥

The plastic bottle looks just normal, but it's fine as long as the content works wonder onto my skin! The texture of this skin conditioner is water-like -- Similar consistency as toner -- It feels refreshing and not sticky at all.

Step 1: Use a cotton pad and pour on it with generous amount

Step 2: Gently pat over your skin

Step 3: Leave it for 5-10 minutes!

As toner: Apply with cotton pads on a cleansed face.
As mask: Soak 4 cotton pads with lotion and leave on face for 3 mins.
As body care: Apply sparingly on the body after shower for a refreshing touch
As mist: Just pat onto the skin whenever it feels dry / sticky
As special remedy: Repair sunburns

As for the usage, it is so versatile that you can use it on your face and body anytime anywhere. To enhance its soothing sensation. it can be kept cool in the refrigerator as well. After a week of using it, my face has turned slightly more plump. It also improves the redness on my sensitive skin although I'm used to walking under the sun everyday.
