Nowadays, more and more people are enjoying beauty treatments with their partners and family, such as doing skin care together and sharing beauty information. But is men’s and women’s skin different? Is it okay to share women’s cosmetics? What is the correct skin care method for men?
Additionally, as knowledge of the society, natural environment, and skin that surrounds children deepens, children’s beauty needs, including skin care and makeup, tend to be younger.

The U zone tends to be particularly dry. It may be surprising, but men’s skin is drier than women’s.
It’s easy.
Q2. Why is it okay for men to use skin care products for women depending on their skin concerns?
A: The basic structure of the skin of both men and women is said to be the same. There is no problem for men to use women’s skin care products as long as they have a proper understanding of their own skin condition, such as the sebum amount and moisture content that I introduced at the beginning. Why not try it out depending on your skin concerns, such as dry care and sunscreen.
Q3. What are the skin care methods for men?
A: The basics of men’s skin care are facial cleansing and
moisturizing. Excess sebum can cause skin problems, so first take care of your skin.

Therefore, be sure to replenish your skin with lotion. Be especially careful in the U zone, which tends to dry out, by applying it several times.
It would be a good idea to put it on. The key is to cover it with oil at the end to prevent moisture from evaporating. At the harbor, Recommended for men as well, including unscented facial cleansing foam, lotion, and high-quality squalane that can be used without worrying about stickiness.

This applies not only to adults but also to babies. Babies sweat and have very delicate skin, so they need daily baths to remove sweat and dirt, but they also need to use skin care products after bathing.

Is it okay for children to use adult cosmetics and makeup products? A: Cosmetics and makeup products for adults are basically developed with the premise of being used on adult skin. For this reason, it cannot be said that it is safe to use products intended for adults on children. When sharing adult cosmetics and makeup products with children, we recommend choosing products that have been developed with children in mind.
