Aggressive office AC pulls moisture from your skin all day; Manila streets add heat and pollution on top. The result is that confusing combo of dull + tight—makeup cracks by lunch, and skin looks flat by 5PM. Japan’s answer is elegantly simple: the “lotion sandwich.” You apply a hydrating mask, flood with lotion, then apply another short mask to seal in the hydration. It’s fast, barrier‑smart, and relies on @cosme‑favored staples that are easy to use before work or after your commute.

Layer 1 — Hydrate & Soften (5 minutes)

Start by cushioning skin with a sheet mask that restores flexible moisture. Apply LULULUN Precious Moist Face Mask 7 Sheets for 5 minutes to re‑saturate the outer layers so they can hold more water. The watery‑rich essence in LULULUN Precious Moist Face Mask 7 Sheets pushes comfort into dehydrated zones (cheeks, under‑eye perimeter) without leaving a waxy film—so you can keep stacking.

Layer 2 — Flood with Brightening Lotion (face, neck, chest)

Remove the mask and immediately drench skin with HADALABO Hakujun Whitening Lotion 400ml. The “lotion” step in Japanese routines is a hydration engine, not a heavy cream. Pat on 2–3 layers of HADALABO Hakujun Whitening Lotion 400ml over your face, neck, and chest. You’ll feel that elastic, bouncy “water‑cushion” in seconds, while the brightening blend works on tone uniformity. This extra surface area (neck/chest) stops the jarring line at the jaw—important for open collars and V‑necks.

 

 

Layer 3 — Seal the Water (3–5 minutes)

Finish with a shorter mask session to trap that hydration where it matters. Re‑apply LULULUN Precious Moist Face Mask 7 Sheets for 3–5 minutes. Think of this as a breathable “seal” that slows evaporation and presses the lotion deeper for a lasting, flexible glow. The second pass with LULULUN Precious Moist Face Mask 7 Sheets also calms any mild redness that can show up after fast layering.

Who Should Use the Lotion Sandwich?

• AC‑tight skin: You feel fine in the morning, but tight and papery by noon.
• Dull + uneven: Tone looks flat, makeup catches around pores and fine lines.
• Frequent commuters: UV + pollution + AC ping‑pong your water levels all day.

How Often & When

• 2–3× per week before makeup on big days (or after work to reset for dinner).
• Swap the second mask for a light gel moisturizer if you’re short on time.
• Always layer sunscreen after the sandwich in the AM; you’ve hydrated and brightened—now protect.

Pro Moves (PH Climate)

• Chill your LULULUN Precious Moist Face Mask 7 Sheets for instant post‑commute calm.
• Pat leftover HADALABO Hakujun Whitening Lotion 400ml over hands—AC ages them fast.
• On very humid days, limit mask time to the shorter end (3–5 minutes) to avoid over‑softening before makeup.

Hydration first, brightness secured, and makeup that glides—not cracks. Stock your “lotion sandwich” with LULULUN Precious Moist Face Mask 7 Sheets and HADALABO Hakujun Whitening Lotion 400ml, then repeat the mask to seal.
