Oily Outside, Thirsty Inside: The Water‑First Routine That Calms Shine
If your T‑zone glistens by lunch but your cheeks feel papery in AC, you’re not “too oily”—you’re dehydrated‑oily. The fix isn’t more stripping foam. It’s a water‑first routine: flood skin with flexible hydration, seal it with a featherlight gel, and deploy a calming mask several times a week. Result: a soft‑matte look that lasts, with fewer mid‑day blotting papers.
Step 1 — Layer Elastic Water (2–3 passes)
Right after cleansing, pat on 2–3 layers of HADALABO Gokujun Premium Hyaluronic Lotion 170ml. Different HA sizes in HADALABO Gokujun Premium Hyaluronic Lotion 170ml act like a water scaffold—surface bounce and deeper comfort. Use the “press, don’t rub” rule and keep a 60‑second buffer window post‑rinse so the water stays in the stratum corneum.

Step 2 — Seal with Featherlight Gel (no waxy occlusion)
Lock the water with NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel 180g. It’s a non‑sticky, quick‑sinking gel that cushions without a wax layer, perfect for Manila heat + office AC ping‑pong. Apply a cherry‑size amount after your HA layers; in AC‑heavy days, add a pea‑size top‑up mid‑afternoon. Because NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel 180g is featherlight, it won’t collapse makeup or trigger rebound oil.

Step 3 — Calm & Balance Mask (3×/week, 5–10 minutes)
Use LULULUN Precious Green Face Mask 7 Sheets three times per week to reduce the “hot face” flush after commutes and to support the barrier. Smooth one on for 5–10 minutes after cleansing; press in leftover essence. LULULUN Precious Green Face Mask 7 Sheets plays well with the HA‑then‑gel stack and helps maintain that soft‑matte look in humidity.

AM/PM map (PH climate)
- AM: Cleanse → 2 layers of HADALABO Gokujun Premium Hyaluronic Lotion 170ml → NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel 180g → sunscreen.
- PM: Cleanse → 2–3 layers HA → NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel 180g, plus LULULUN Precious Green Face Mask 7 Sheets on mask nights.
Troubleshooting
- Still shiny by noon? Increase HA layers to 3 and keep gel thin. The “water‑first” strategy calms oil over 1–2 weeks.
- Makeup pilling? Reduce gel amount; let each layer set 60–90 seconds.
- Red from commute? Chill your LULULUN Precious Green Face Mask 7 Sheets before use.
