Recommended for Picture-Perfect Shots! Care Items That Get Skin and Hair Camera-Ready
Photos you take while traveling are precious keepsakes that will remain with you for a long time.
That is why many people want to capture themselves in the best photo-ready condition possible.
However, on days when you spend long hours at a theme park or during waterside activities where UV exposure tends to rise due to reflections, UV rays and humidity can easily throw your skin and hair condition off.
Below, we introduce care items that help you care for your skin and hair even in those situations and keep you looking camera-ready.
Deep Hydration While Protecting Against UV Rays: SKIN AQUA Hyaluronic Serum UV
This sunscreen is affectionately known as the “blue bottle” or “little blue bottle.”
Because it thoroughly blocks UV rays while keeping skin moisturized, it helps refine your overall look on days when you will be taking photos.
It is formulated with a high concentration of three types of hyaluronic acid, and by reapplying evenly throughout the day, it becomes easier to maintain skin hydration.
It spreads smoothly and is easy to apply, and it is also fragrance-free and alcohol-free, which is another plus.
It also helps guard skin against airborne irritants such as pollen, PM2.5, and dust, and it rinses off easily when cleansing, making it a sunscreen designed with your skin in mind.
With a fresh feel that is less likely to become sticky, reapplying is not too much of a burden while traveling or in everyday outings.
Gyutto Corset Hair Mask to Tame Hair That Frizzes in Humidity
A salon-level treatment you can get in the 1,000 yen range.
It corrects waviness from the core of the hair and helps bring it into a more manageable state.
It is recommended not only for hair that tends to puff up in humidity, but also for care after perms or coloring.
On midsummer trips or waterside activities, humidity can make hair expand easily, and even carefully styled hair tends to fall apart.
If you care for your hair the day before with Gyutto Corset Hair Mask, your hair is more likely to stay smooth and manageable the next day, making it easier to keep a photo-ready look even when you are out.
Keep Your Makeup Looking Fresh with Skincare: Calamee Makeup Keep Square Pack
A square-shaped targeted sheet pack that helps makeup stay in place by simply applying it before doing your makeup.
Its appeal is the ease of caring for only the areas you are concerned about, with pinpoint precision.
The sheet is richly infused with serum, adheres smoothly to the skin, and is less likely to slip, which is another plus.
It is a care item that supports building a base on days when shine from sebum and makeup breakdown from humidity are likely to be concerns.
In addition to the pack, there are also Calamine No-Sebum Lotion and Calamine No-Sebum Gel, so you can choose based on your preference.
It is recommended for days when you “want to enjoy being active, but also want to look good in photos.”
Care Items That Help Restore Your Skin and Body after Dryness and UV Exposure
Not only theme parks, waterside activities, hiking, and winter activities, but even walking around the city from spring through summer can expose you to stronger UV rays than you might expect.
In addition, air conditioning in public transportation such as airplanes and trains, as well as in commercial facilities and hotels, can make skin more prone to dryness, and travel often brings a series of situations where skin condition can easily become unsettled.
At times like these, combine “moisturizing care from the outside” with “beauty care from the inside” to help prepare your skin for the next day.
Below, we introduce care items that are useful not only while traveling, but also for helping care for your skin and body after dryness and UV exposure.
Soften and Ease Dry Skin with Moisture: CareCera AP Highly Moisturizing Pre-Step Barrier Emulsion
A low-irritation milk lotion recommended for situations where you are likely to feel dryness, such as days when you walk outdoors for a long time during winter travel or days when you spend a lot of time indoors with air conditioning.
By using it immediately after washing your face, it cushions the skin with moisture, helping soften and condition it.
It contains eight types of ceramides, essential for the skin’s barrier function, and penetrates thoroughly into the stratum corneum.
In Japan, ceramides are a popular ingredient among people with sensitive skin.
It is a high-moisture, pre-step barrier emulsion that we want people to use even on skin after cosmetic procedures or for those whose condition tends to fluctuate during seasonal changes.
Support Clear-Looking Skin from Within with Drinkable Vitamin C: THE LYPO Vitamin C Deep Capsules
A vitamin C supplement recommended for people who are concerned about rough skin due to travel fatigue or changes in environment.
It combines two types of vitamin C-sustained-release lypo vitamin C and fast-acting vitamin C-along with hyaluronic acid.
Because it is a capsule type that makes the ingredient-specific flavor less noticeable, it is also easier to continue taking, which is another plus.
You can take two capsules a day as a guideline at any time of day, and because it comes in a portable pouch, it is easy to incorporate into both travel and everyday life, and it is also recommended for people who want to aim for clear-looking skin.
