Has it been summer all year round in the Philippines?
I felt like it has been randomly raining in June but it still felt hot like Summer of March and April!
So I totally understand this question sent to me via DM over my Instagram account.
I got the answer as I am lazy AF on most days especially for a busy working mom who needs more sleep than the rest of the population :)
ANSWER: "Use Hydrating LOTION."
One of the brand I have tried and liked that would help you achieve "MOCHI" skin. There are a whole lot of brands out there and one that I've tried is a Japanese brand -
HADA LABO.
This is formulated with High Performance Penetrating and deep moisturizing techonology infuses 4 types of Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic acid is the best ingredient to trap moisture on skin leaving skin soft, smooth and super supple.
Thankfully the texture is milky yet non-sticky. It gets absorbed into the skin easily so I can easily go along my day without the tacky feel from usual skincare products. I mean do not exchange this to your WHOLE regimen but I use this to instantly boost my skin's moisture especially before putting on makeup.
This is my favorite way to apply my Hada Labo Hydrating lotion with a big cotton pad leaving it like a face sheet mask as I do my hair prepping my skin for foundation.
While at it, I like to put on my favorite undereye patch from Pixi Beauty.
Well soaked, hydrated skin perfect to face the day. And best of all? I like to use this technique midday if my base makeup looks dry and patchy, I would do this technique and pat more of the product on dry areas and that would give me that Mochi-like healthy skin.
What other makeup/skincare hacks would you like to know? Feel free to message me and comment any of my posts and I'll try to answer as quick as I can!
Keep smilin'
Stay happy!
