Don't add more to your morning routine. How to use oil and mist in the summer
On hot mornings, you want to keep your routine as light and quick as possible. However, if you apply nothing after washing your face, you may feel dryness in air-conditioned rooms. The key to summer mornings is not to increase the number of steps, but to adjust the amount you use and where you apply it.
Decide the amount after checking your skin post-wash
Right after waking up, your skin might feel sticky from sebum or night sweat. You should judge your skin not before, but after washing your face.
Check whether your cheeks and mouth area feel tight, or if there is still a heavy sensation around your forehead and nose. You don't need to apply the same amount to your entire face.
Apply the necessary amount to areas prone to dryness, and less to areas where sebum is easily produced. Adjust how you use it for each part of your face.
Use one drop of oil, spread thinly over your palms
Take one drop of Universal Oil and spread it thinly over both palms. First, press it into your cheeks, eye area, and mouth area, then use whatever remains on your hands for your forehead and neck.
The point to keeping your summer morning routine light is not to increase the amount from the start. Only layer a very small amount afterward on areas where you feel you need more.
Prep your morning skin starting with a small amount.
Layer with mist and wait for the surface to settle before moving on
After the oil, layer the Watery Serum Mist over your entire face. Spray a fine mist gently and, if necessary, blend it in softly with your palms.
If you are applying makeup right away, wait until the moisture on your skin's surface has settled before proceeding to UV care or base makeup. Please give it a moment to absorb into your skin without rubbing.
- After washing your face, pat away moisture with a towel.
- Apply 1 drop of oil, starting with your cheeks, eye area, and mouth.
- Layer mist over your entire face.
- Once the surface has settled, proceed to UV care or makeup.
LHOOQ's basic care combining oil and mist.
In summer, don't lighten your entire face uniformly
In summer, we tend to think, "It's sticky, so I'll reduce moisturizing," but the care required differs between areas prone to dryness and areas prone to excess sebum.
Carefully blend oil into areas that dry out easily, like the cheeks and mouth, and use only what is left on your hands for the forehead and nose. Adjust your approach for each specific area.
Instead of layering a lot of mist at once, use it in small amounts while checking your skin's condition.
Ease of continuity also supports daily care
When a morning routine becomes complicated, you may want to skip steps on busy days. By deciding the amount and order, even with fewer steps, it becomes easier to adapt to your skin's condition that day.
Don't make everything lighter just because it's summer; instead, nourish where necessary and use less where it feels too heavy. Use your oil and mist differently according to how your skin feels.
Only two things for summer mornings.
