Different ways of using Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Lotion

Jun12

Hi friends of the NUTT (",)

I'd like to share the 3 different ways that i use the highly raved Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Lotion. It was Hada Labo's 'One Drop Locks Up the Ocean' tagline that made me pick up a bottle.

I've been on an organic skincare regime for about 2 years, but on and off, i make a slight U-turn and succumb to commercial raves. I've tried several different lotions mainly from Japanese brands. They basically hydrate the skin and preps it for moisturiser.

So, let me start sharing the 3 ways that i make use of the Hada Labo lotion.

Method 1: The Hada Labo 'press the lotion into your skin' way.

After pressing the lotion into the skin, i use a moisturiser.

Method 2: Lotion mask for face

A lotion mask is not something new in my skincare regime. Ever since a friend of mine lent me Chizu Saeki's The Japanese Skincare Revolution book in 2009, i've tried to use a lotion mask at least once a week. Previously, i've used Shiseido's Eudermine for my lotion mask. It is a revitalizing essence which is something that i LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

Vivawoman posted a video showing the DIY Lotion Mask Demo by Chizu Saeki. If you're interested, it's really worth taking a look. Chizu Saeki used cotton pads for the mask but i personally prefer getting the mask sheets from Muji which is about $1.90 for 6 sheets coz it's less of a hassle.

I like the fact that i get to control the amount of lotion that i pour onto the mask. With pre-packed facial sheets, very often they are drenched with lotion & it can get messy.

Method 3: Lotion for body.

I press the lotion into my skin before applying moisturiser. I have very dry skin & this method really does help to relieve the dryness. In case you're wondering, "Oh gosh!! Such a waste!" A little of the lotion goes a long way. Besides, this product is really not that expensive. It retails for about $22.90 for a 170ml bottle. Since i started using it last month, i've only used up about 1/10 of the product.

Gosh...! Here's my moisturiser and sunblock crazy pooch! Apart from food, skincare lotions are the next on Kimmie's list! Whenever i apply ANY product on my arms or legs; even if she's asleep, she'll force herself to get up to lick some off me in spite of my strong resistance. I really hope she'll kick this habit coz i'm paranoid about her getting poisoned!
