1. Forehead

Trouble on the forehead is a sign that there is a problem with the lung or heart. The lungs are the uppermost internal organs. When the lungs become abnormal, it causes problems on the forehead and also occurs when the heart has a lot of heat. It is good to drink good green tea or milk in the lungs, to relax the inside and to calm the heat.

2. Cheeks

Depending on the left cheek or right cheek, the troubled organs are different. The left cheek is an abnormality in the liver. In the case of the right cheek, it means that the liver and the lung have a problem. If you have a problem on both cheeks, it may mean that your liver doesn’t function properly, so you are likely to develop pigmentation on the cheeks. It is said to be beneficial to eat protein-rich chicken or beef, Vitamin E rich nuts such as peanuts, walnuts and pine nuts, and Vitamin C rich fruits and vegetables.

3. Mouth

If you have trouble around your mouth, you should look at kidney function. The kidneys are responsible for filtering out the toxins, and if it cannot function properly, the mouth may become blackened or have trouble. It is also recommended to go to the hospital because the lip area may become unevenly red.

4. Chin

If there is a lot of trouble around the chin, it is likely that the uterus or genitalia has developed abnormally. There are a lot of troubles in the jaw before and after menstruation in women. During the menstrual period, the immune system weakens, so it is easy to leave scars when you squeeze it with hands. It is also important to keep the scar from being left untreated.

It is also recommended to warm the stomach to keep the uterus warm and magnesium rich broccoli is recommend to eat to prevent the disease of the uterus.

5. Nose

If you have a lot of oil in your nose, or if you have frequent troubles, you should wonder if there is a problem of digestive organs. People with a weak digestive system or those who eat greasy and sweet foods are more likely to have trouble on their nose. Salty foods should be avoided and foods that are easy to digest are recommended.

1. Formaldehyde

It is a controversial ingredient as a carcinogen in food as well as cosmetics.

Formaldehyde is very toxic to the human body and when people are exposed to formaldehyde, the disease symptoms begin to appear. Depending on the concentration, the effect on the human body may be irritating to the eyes, nose and throat when the concentration is less than 0.1 ppm, and severe asthma attacks may appear for those who have respiratory problems or asthma if the concentration is between 0.25 and 0.5 ppm. At 2 ~ 5ppm, tears will appear and you will feel severe pain. At 10 ~ 20ppm, normal breathing becomes difficult, and symptoms such as coughing, headache and heartbeat are accelerated.

Isn’t really scary? They are carcinogens are tested, but they were only tested in the respiratory system, ther nothing know for the skin or the digestive system. It can be formulated at less than 0.2% and is prohibited to use in aerosol products except mousse. But I do not think it would be bad to avoid it because it is a suspicious ingredient.

2. Isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol, rubbing alcohol)

Body Used for scrubs, hand creams, hair rinses, etc. Ingestion or inhalation can cause headaches and dizziness. It is not good for cancer patients because it is known to lower the immunity.

3. Ammonium laureth sulfate / sodium laureth sulfate

It is mainly used in detergents, toothpaste, hair products, cosmetics, etc. It is the main ingredient of shampoo and foaming detergent. It is known to easily infiltrate the skin to slow down wound healing and cause cataracts, but it can actually stimulate, but it does not penetrate the skin.

Most of it is used for washing products, so if you wash it thoroughly without any residue, you do not have to worry too much.

4. Polyethylene glycol

It is called PEG and is used for surfactants used in cosmetics. It is known that it is a carcinogen which can  induce allergies. It is known as a petroleum synthetic raw material, but it is widely used in foods, medicines and cosmetics.

5. Red No. 225

This cannot be used around the eyes and lips. Carcinogenicity by 4-amino azobenzene is known.

6. Hormones

Hormones such as follicular hormones, estradiol, and estrogen can affect the physiological activity of the human body, but they are prohibited from mixing because the impact of the hormones is unknown.

In recent years, phenoxyethanol has been widely used as a preservative instead of parabens. Phenoxyethanol is legally allowed to use up to 1%. Natural antiseptics such as Walnut Extract, Earth Neir Extract, Super Fruit Extract, Tea Tree Extract can be used instead of paraben or phenoxyethanol. If you do not believe in parabens or phenoxyethanol, you can choose cosmetics that contain natural preservatives. However, in the case of unprotected products, it may quickly deteriorate, so it is recommended that you choose a little volume as possible and use as soon as possible.

Most of the basic cosmetics that are applied to the skin after cleansing are mostly toner. Toners are usually as clear as water, to viscous formulations. After cleansing, it is used to remove the wastes left on the skin once more to make up the texture of the skin. It is also recommended to use the toner as it will provide the proper moisture to the skin after preparation and increase the absorption of the products.

* Tips to pick a good toner!

Looking at all the ingredients, you can pick a good toner. Since all the ingredients of cosmetics are disclosed, it is good to check and analyze all the ingredients of toner that you want to purchase.

It is recommended to check the position of the representative components, since the components are listed in order of their higher contents.

Ex) product feature: Contains hyaluronic acid to moisturize the skin.

First toner’s all ingredients: purified water, sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid), glycerin, butylene glycol, trehalose...

Second toner’s all ingredients: purified water, glycerin, butylene glycol, trehalose,... sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid)

If you choose a toner with a high content of hyaluronic acid, it is better to select the first toner rather than the second toner, which is located at the middle or end of the hyaluronic acid component.

- It is not good because it means that alcohol and ethanol components occupy a lot of content if they are located in the fifth in all components. Sensitive skin may feel stingy if it contains a lot of alcohol.

Since the types of toners are different from each other, you can choose according to your skin type and use it according to the usage method.

1. Dry skin

If your skin type is dry, you will use a lot of moist toner. It is recommended to use some viscous textured toners.

2. Combination and Sensitive skin

Because this skin type changes depending on seasons, it is best to use refreshing types during the hot summer months and moisture types during the dry winter months. It is recommended to use products that do not contain alcohol or other stimulants.

3. Oily and Troubled skin

You can choose a toner that will soothe oil and dead skin cells. You can use a light toner that wipes out.

We looked at body products, this time we will look at how to care for bodies according to skin types. Since everyone has different skin type, is it optimal to provide customized body care while using products that suit one’s skin type. Why do people use face products according to skin types, but not for bodies? I hope you are wise consumers who also put in care about body products.

1. Dry skin

Moisturizing care is critical. - Since dry skin is prone to dead skin cells, it is important to do soft peeling and enough moisturizing to maintain the skin moist. Dry skin is easily damaged by scrubs, therefore, skin scrubs are not recommended for this skin type. 

Moist textured body cleanser- moisturizing, flexible effect containing moisture body cleanser is recommended to use.

Enough moisturizing care ? After a bath or a shower, put on body lotion or body cream to provide moisture and nutrients to the skin to prevent dryness. Especially when the skin is extremely dry to a point where it is itchy, at the final stage of a bath, put on oil and rinse with water to create a moisturizing layer which keeps moisture in the skin.

2. Normal skin

Moisture care- The most ideal skin type may also suffer from skin trouble when the balance is collapsed. Therefore, a consistent skin care is necessary. It is important to care for moisture.

Soft textured cleanser- To avoid any irritancy, use soft textured products and make bubbles before rinsing them.

Moisture care with body products- After a bath, put on body oil or body lotion for enough moisturizing care.

3. Oily skin

Fresh finish is important- Oily skin has much sweat and sebum, making the skin prone to accumulating waste which increases the chance of skin trouble. If oily skin only takes care of cleansing but not on moisturizing, the skin balance will collapse. Therefore, while cleansing thoroughly, using oily skin products after a bath is necessary to keep skin moisture balance.

Refreshing textured body cleanser ? Since there is a high chance that skin waste might clog pores and create skin trouble, cleansing is essential. Non-sticky and refreshing body cleanser is recommended for thorough cleaning. Put extra care in areas that are hard to reach. 

Provide moisture with body lotion- Putting care only on cleaning may damage skin balance. After a bath apply a light body lotion to provide moisture and finish up with powder. If body lotion feels to heavy, body mists are recommended as well.

1. Mixing with Oil

For extremely dry skin, multi-purpose balm alone won’t be able to hydrate your skin fully. Apply moisturizing cream for these skin types during the winter to avoid dry skin the next morning. Mix balm with oil to create moisturizing bomb for your skin. Mix the multi-purpose balm and facial oil in the ratio of 1:1 and apply the mixture on the skin in massaging motion to make it work as nourishing facial pack. You can also use it to moisturize the skin around the eyes.

2. Applying on the Body

Your elbows, ankles and soles can get extremely dry with many dead skin cells created during cold dry winters. People take care of their hands because they are visible but they end up neglecting their feet because they are almost always covered. If left untreated, they would look ugly and even become damaged so prompt and timely care is necessary. Use multi-purpose balm to create protective moisturizing shield. You can also use it for your hair to prevent dryness and static. Melt the balm in the hand for application on the hair or just mix it with hair essence.

Multi-purpose balm is also effective for dry lips. Apply the balm to relieve dead skin cells. Put on the balm before wearing lip tint or lipstick to protect your lips and prevent dead skin cells. Apply an ample amount of the balm the night before for mask pack to enjoy smooth and soft lips the next day.

You can take care of your hands with the balm. If the hand cream doesn’t cut it for offering moisture, the multi-purpose balm mixed with hand cream can offer intensive hydration for your hands. It can also sooth dry and cracked cuticles.

3. Using it with Makeup

Applying the balm before the makeup can offer radiant and healthy look. It can also prevent dry cracks and dead skin cells. Heating system indoors and cold winds outside can make your skin dry and your makeup fluffy and unsetting. Take an ample amount of the balm on the palm, melt it in the hands and cover your face with both hands for absorption to provide hydration. Apply the balm on the eye lashes before putting the mascara on to protect the lashes.

1. Dry Skin Type

 If you have dry skin, winters can be nightmare because your skin gets itchy in the season. No matter how much you apply moisturizing cream, your skin stays dry all the same. For these skin types, you have to do a decent base makeup job otherwise you would end up seeing unset makeup and a lot of dead skin cells on the skin surface. All you can do is to provide ample hydration for the skin. Use skin toner to prime the texture every morning after facial wash and apply moisturizer for base in gentle massaging motion. Leave it for five minutes for better dermal absorption and start your makeup. The heaters inside your office can dry up the moisturizer you put on in the morning so put a drop of facial oil in the base foundation (BB cream, CC cream etc.) for makeup correction during the day. Apply another layer of hydrating cream near the eyes and the mouth where it gets drier than the rest of the areas. Take an ample amount of cream or balm to gently apply on the dry areas and remove dead skin cells during the day when your face gets all fluffy and dry.

2. Complex Skin Type

Complex skin types are tricky to handle all year round. In the winter, the T zone remains oily yet the U zone around the facial contour gets dry. It is crucial to strike a balance between moisture and oil for these skin types. Apply moisturizer around the T and U zones before putting makeup on and apply another layer of hydration for areas except U zone. Use sponge to apply it on the T zone and use hand for application on other areas. Put cream or balm moisturizer on the hand and cover your face with both hands for dermal absorption mid-day when your face gets all dry. Use oil paper film for T zones before putting on correction makeup.

3. Oily Skin Type

People with oily skin end up putting up too much of everything because their derma feels dry while the skin surface seems oily. It can create vicious cycle to put on oily cream too heavily on the skin for these skin types in the winter. It is essential for these skin types to reduce oiliness yet to offer ample hydration. Prime your skin texture with fresh skin toner after facial wash and apply gel-type moisturizer. After dermal absorption, apply yet another layer of moisturizer if you still feel dry on the skin. Apply effectively setting and covering base makeup and mix it with hydrating skin essence for application. Apply another layer of it if you feel you need more coverage. The skin surface may seem oily yet the skin beneath the foundation layer can be dry during the mid day. Use oil paper film to remove the floating oiliness and apply moisturizer and skin essence to provide hydration. Wait a while for absorption and then put on the base makeup.
