Also, the thick fermented soy milk liquid is very good for your skin and helps keep your skin moisturized and elastic. You can feel safe giving them as gifts to your mother and/or other loved ones.
Directions:
1. Take an appropriate amount in the palm of your hand. Pick up the amount written on the package.
2. Place on the forehead, cheeks, and chin. Make sure to apply a generous amount on your cheeks, as they tend to get dry.
3. Gently spread it from the center to the edge of your face. Gently spread it out, being careful not to rub it too much. Nose has a lot of sebum, so just apply the remaining gel on your palm at the end.
4. Finally, apply a hand press with both hands to ensure that the beauty ingredients are well absorbed.

This brand Kosé aims to provide high-quality moisturizing care, focusing on the needs of women who want their skin to be gentle and stay hydrated. Developed by Kosé Research Institute, which continues to research women's beauty and skin, these products are highly trusted in Japan.
They contain highly moisturizing ingredients that increase skin density, and uses a long-lasting moisturizing formula that helps skin with fine lines and wrinkles remain supple. They fill in the gaps between the stratum corneum of the skin, which tends to repeatedly dry out, and strengthens the moisturizing environment that the skin needs.
Kosé is focusing on making products that are gentle on the skin. They made these products mildly acidic, fragrance-free, color-free, alcohol-free, and mineral oil-free.
By using these three types at the same time, the effect will increase. If you give a set of three as a gift on Mother's Day, you are sure to be very appreciated.
Directions:
1. After washing your face, apply the toner to condition your skin. Moisturizing your skin softens it and makes it easier for the ingredients in the next product to penetrate. If you use a serum, apply the serum now.
2. Use the emulsion to lock in moisture into your skin. Emulsion softens and moisturizes your skin. It has a higher water content than the cream.
3. Finally, seal in moisture into your skin with the cream. It contains more oil, so after replenishing the moisture and oil with emulsion, cover the face with the cream at the end to prevent water evaporation and maintain moisture.
