Your face routine gets all the strategy; your body is stuck with a random bar and hope. Meanwhile, keratosis pilaris (KP) bumps on the arms, “backne” from sweat + sunscreen, and office‑AC dryness make sleeves and tanks feel like a gamble. The fix isn’t punishing scrubs (they inflame KP and spread breakouts). It’s a short‑contact acid pass in the shower, a daily nourishing cleanse, and a featherlight milk lotion that leaves skin comfortable — not sticky — in PH humidity. Here’s the repeatable plan.

Step 1 — Short‑Contact Chemistry for Texture (2–3×/week, 30–60 seconds/area)

Trade gritty scrubs for a controlled, fast pass with the AHA Cleansing Research Body & Face Peeling Soap 100g. Alpha hydroxy acids loosen dead cells and compact plugs that cause rough “chicken skin” and sweat‑sunscreen buildup on the back — but only when you keep contact short. Over‑marinating won’t make skin smoother; it just raises irritation.

 

 

• How to: On wet skin, glide the bar over target zones (upper arms, shoulders, back, buttocks). Lather with fingertips, wait 30–60 seconds, then rinse thoroughly. Avoid broken or freshly shaved skin.
• Cadence: 2–3× per week in rainy season; 1–2× if you’re outdoors in strong sun. Skip acids 48 hours after a beach/pool day.
• Face use: If your face tolerates AHA, a 15–20 second T‑zone pass can help with persistent roughness — but limit to 1–2× weekly and follow with hydrating layers.

Step 2 — Daily Nourishing Cleanse (No Tightness, No Film)

On non‑acid days (and even on acid days for the rest of the body), use a comforting cleanser that removes sweat and SPF without leaving a “squeaky” film. The Kumano Yushi Horse Oil Body Soap 600ml lathers richly, rinses clean, and leaves skin feeling soft — not waxy, not tight — so you don’t trigger itch in AC or that strange dry‑then‑greasy rebound later.

• How to: One pump on a bath cloth or hands is plenty. Prioritize sweat zones (chest, back, shoulders) after workouts. Rinse well.
• Why horse oil? It’s prized for leaving the skin’s surface flexible after cleansing — that “soft” finish that doesn’t fight your lotion.

Step 3 — Featherlight Milk Lotion (Face & Body, Zero Stick)

The quickest way to undo your good shower work is to coat yourself in a heavy, waxy cream that traps sweat. Reach instead for NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Milk Lotion 230ml, a fluid milk that sinks quickly and leaves a soft, non‑greasy finish you can actually wear under clothes in Manila weather. Use it head to toe — yes, it’s face‑friendly — right after towel‑patting dry.

• How to: Palm a quarter‑size amount per limb; smooth until absorbed. For face, start with a pea‑size over a water lotion if you’re dehydrated‑oily; add a second pea if sleeping in strong AC.
• Pro move: Mix a tiny dollop of NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Milk Lotion 230ml with a few drops of water in your hands first — the “milk toner” trick for ultra‑light days.

Weekly Body Map (KP / Backne / AC‑Dryness)

• Mon: Daily cleanse with Kumano Yushi Horse Oil Body Soap 600ml → all‑over NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Milk Lotion 230ml.
• Tue: Short‑contact AHA Cleansing Research Body & Face Peeling Soap 100g on arms/back → Kumano Yushi Horse Oil Body Soap 600ml for the rest → milk lotion.
• Wed: Daily cleanse → milk lotion. Spot apply an extra layer on elbows/knees/shins (AC targets).
• Thu: Repeat AHA short‑contact zones → cleanse → milk lotion.
• Fri: Daily cleanse → milk lotion. Optional: a quick, cool rinse after commutes to reduce sweat film before bed.
• Sat: If outdoors, skip acids; cleanse + milk lotion. SPF on exposed areas is not optional.
• Sun: Optional third AHA pass if KP/backne are stubborn; otherwise, cleanse + milk lotion only.

Shaving, Ingrowns & Gym Days

• Shaving: Do not use acids immediately before or after. Schedule AHA 24 hours away from shave time to avoid sting.
• Ingrowns (bikini/underarms): Keep AHA contact short and infrequent (1–2×/week), then follow with NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Milk Lotion 230ml to soften skin without occluding follicles.
• Post‑workout: Rinse off sweat ASAP; if no shower, wipe body hotspots, then do your full cleanse at home. Use the AHA bar that evening — not immediately after a harsh gym soap.

Common Pitfalls (and Fixes)

• Over‑scrubbing KP: Red, angry bumps? Drop physical scrubs. Keep AHA contact tight; moisturize daily.
• Sticky lotions: If body lotion makes you sweat, switch to NATURIE Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Milk Lotion 230ml or thin it with a splash of water in your palm.
• Backne flare‑ups: Wash hair first, then body (so conditioner residues don’t sit on your back). Finish with a quick pass of the AHA bar on the upper back on designated days.

Smooth arms, calmer backs, and clothes that don’t stick — without the sting.
