Call it “moisture grains.” In Japan, three time-tested botanicals—rice, soy, and hatomugi (Job’s tears)—form a deceptively simple routine that softens texture, calms shine, and keeps skin bouncy without heavy creams. If you’re navigating PH heat outside and office AC inside, this trio gives you cushiony hydration that feels breathable, never greasy. Here’s exactly how to build it with three icons: a gentle soy milk foam that cleans without squeak, a rice lotion that refines and hydrates, and a featherlight hatomugi gel that locks water in without waxy occlusion.

Step 1 — Soy: Cushion-Clean Without the “Squeak”

Your cleanse sets the tone—literally. Ditch stripping washes that leave you tight at 8AM and shiny by noon. Use SANA Nameraka Honpo Soy Milk Foam Face Wash 200ml, a dense, creamy foam that lifts the night’s sleep film and city dust without roughing up your acid mantle. The amino acid-rich soy base in SANA Nameraka Honpo Soy Milk Foam Face Wash 200ml keeps the finish “calm-clean,” not squeaky, so hydration layers cling better and oil rebounds less in Manila humidity.

• How to use (AM/PM): Work a small amount of SANA Nameraka Honpo Soy Milk Foam Face Wash 200ml into a soft lather, massage for 30–45 seconds, and rinse cool. Press—not rub—skin dry.
• Why soy first: A gentle cleanse preserves barrier lipids so your “water layers” don’t evaporate fast in AC.

Step 2 — Rice: Refine Pores, Load Water (No Stick)

Next comes the rice step: a toner-essence hybrid that hydrates while helping the look of pores and texture. Pat on KEANA Nadeshiko Pore Tightening Rice Lotion 300ml. Rice-derived ingredients in KEANA Nadeshiko Pore Tightening Rice Lotion 300ml give that “soft focus” effect—skin looks smoother, less hot-faced after commutes—while acting like a water scaffold for your final layer.

• How to layer: After cleansing, pat 2–3 passes of KEANA Nadeshiko Pore Tightening Rice Lotion 300ml (cheeks, around nose, jaw). Wait ~30 seconds between layers.
• Mask hack: On overheated evenings, soak thin cotton with KEANA Nadeshiko Pore Tightening Rice Lotion 300ml and apply to T‑zone for 2–3 minutes to visibly calm flush.

Step 3 — Hatomugi: Featherlight Seal That Survives Heat + AC

Seal your water without a waxy blanket. Smooth on NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel 180g—a fast-sinking gel that leaves a flexible, non-sticky finish perfect for sunscreen and makeup. Because NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel 180g is water-heavy and silicone-light, it’s ideal for PH heat and office AC ping‑pong: enough slip to stop tightness, not enough occlusion to trap sweat.

• How to dose: Start with a cherry-size amount of NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel 180g for the face. Add a pea to neck/chest (AC targets). For very humid days, thin it with a few drops of water in your palms (“milk gel” trick).
• Makeup grip: Wait ~60–90 seconds after NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel 180g before sunscreen or base to prevent pilling.

The “Moisture Grains” Map (PH Climate)

• AM (3–4 minutes): SANA Nameraka Honpo Soy Milk Foam Face Wash 200ml (30–45 sec) → 2 layers KEANA Nadeshiko Pore Tightening Rice Lotion 300ml → NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel 180g → sunscreen.
• Mid‑day (office AC or post-commute): Press (don’t rub) one more layer of KEANA Nadeshiko Pore Tightening Rice Lotion 300ml with clean hands; blot T‑zone to reduce rebound oil.
• PM (2–5 minutes): SANA Nameraka Honpo Soy Milk Foam Face Wash 200ml → 2–3 layers KEANA Nadeshiko Pore Tightening Rice Lotion 300ml → NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel 180g. Add a thin moisturizer only if you sleep in heavy AC.

Results Timeline (What to Expect)

• Days 1–3: Less post‑cleanse tightness from SANA Nameraka Honpo Soy Milk Foam Face Wash 200ml; makeup sits smoother over NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel 180g.
• Days 4–7: T‑zone calms; pore-lining roughness looks softer thanks to consistent KEANA Nadeshiko Pore Tightening Rice Lotion 300ml layers.
• Days 8–14: Fewer mid‑day blotting papers; skin feels “cushioned” instead of slick or papery.

Troubleshooting (Because Real Life > Lab)

• Still shiny by noon? Add a third pass of KEANA Nadeshiko Pore Tightening Rice Lotion 300ml in the AM; keep NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel 180g thin (a true gel seal, not a cream).
• Makeup pilling? Reduce overall product amount and wait a full minute after NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel 180g before applying sunscreen.
• Red or reactive? Shorten cleansing contact with SANA Nameraka Honpo Soy Milk Foam Face Wash 200ml to ~20 seconds and switch the PM to two layers of KEANA Nadeshiko Pore Tightening Rice Lotion 300ml + a light pass of NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel 180g.
