It suddenly became cold in Beijing. It was windy. The radio said that because this summer was particularly long and the two previous strong temperature drops in the north had brought the temperature down, the autumn, which was not long to begin with, was shortened by more than ten days. We entered winter without our permission. I don't know about you guys, but I felt that all the moisture from my toes to the ends of my hair had been dried up. I put on layer after layer of skin care products, but my skin still felt tight in the morning.

A few days ago, I ran out of makeup remover gel, so I switched to Kao's EST Beauty Essence Moisturizing Cleansing Gel. When I woke up in the morning, I unexpectedly found that the dryness symptoms had been alleviated a lot. It seems that the first step in skin care is to start with cleansing.

Kao EST Beauty Essence Moisturizing Cleansing Jelly

About ￥380/190g

It's called gel for a reason. Its texture is very similar to the jelly we eat but not as elastic. It has very good ductility. In other words, just a little bit is enough to remove makeup from your entire face. Although it has a texture between gel and jelly, it feels a bit like makeup remover oil when applied to the face, but it is not that oily. You will enjoy the massage step that accompanies makeup removal.

In winter, I basically give up on using makeup removers because there is always a bit of pulling sensation, and even using cotton pads will make me feel that it is not very skin-friendly. As for oily makeup removers, I am worried that the emulsification will not be thorough and I may get closed comedones or something, so I am really satisfied with this texture.

The reason why it can relieve my dryness is also related to the ingredients in it. After washing, not only does my face become very soft, but most importantly, it doesn’t feel tight at all. It’s like there is a protective film that locks in your moisture.

When I was writing the Double Eleven shopping list the other day, I mentioned that I bought the Omorovicza Deep Cleansing Brightening Mask from Hungary. In fact, their hot spring mineral cleansing cream is also very good. I saw many beauty bloggers comparing the Omorovicza and EVE LOM cleansing creams.

EVE LOM Classic Cleansing Cream

￥465/50ml

Omorovicza Thermal Mineral Cleansing Balm

About ￥400/50ml

Indeed, both are very similar in terms of usage and texture, but Omorovicza's ritual is slightly simplified. You don't need to apply it over and over again with a cleansing cloth. You only need to scoop out a little and melt it in the palm of your hand (a bit like how to use La Mer cream), then apply it all over your face and massage it, then soak the cleansing cloth, wring it out, apply it on your face and wait for the pores to open, and finally wipe it once and rinse it clean.

However, compared to the paste feel of EVE LOM, Omorovicza has a stronger granularity and hardness. It works on a similar principle to their cleansing mask, which uses a large amount of minerals in it to remove dirt from the pores and directly reach the dermis for cleansing. The feeling after using it is quite amazing, because frankly speaking, after following the trend to use EVE LOM the year before last, I didn’t think it was as great as they said. It was just that the sense of ritual and the troublesome process left a deep impression on me, or it may be because I generally don’t wear heavy makeup.

After using Omorovicza, my skin is really soft and the moisture level is just right. In fact, the most beautiful time for a woman is when she has just taken a shower and washed her face. Her skin is like snow, and even if it is shining, it is not lard-like luster, but bright but not greasy. For people with dry skin like me, Omorovicza is really the first choice in winter. It makes me see the fairy myself in the mirror hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Although Beijing's water is basically diverted from the south to the north, the water in our neighborhood is still extremely hard. Since we just moved there and haven't found a satisfactory water softener, washing our face and taking a shower every time feels like a challenge.

I have to wash my face thoroughly at night, but in the morning I can't help but feel nervous when I think about the layer of alkaline on my face after washing. In the end, what saved me was the Hoshoudang makeup remover spray.
