Begin your journey to soft and dewy skin with this Japanese Glass Skin Starter Set
This story is brought to you by Sunplay.
Here’s the thing: A minimalist skincare routine can be just as effective as an elaborate one in achieving those glass skin goals. The key is to layer on the right combination of products together to target those daily skincare concerns. And the Japanese are experts at this practice, proving time and time again that even their drugstore brands deliver.
The fundamental glass skin routine isn’t even all that different from what we Filipinos are used to: Cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and sun protection are non-negotiables. With these essentials in mind, Hada Labo and Sunplay have joined forces to bring us the Japanese Glass Skin Starter Set (P465).
This curated kit is ideal for those who like to keep things uncomplicated. If you’re new to J-beauty, both Hada Labo and Sunplay are big-name drugstore staples popular for their value-for-money factor. The portably sized products in the set make for excellent travel essentials that can benefit skin in any season. How so? Hyaluronic Acid has been celebrated in the skincare world for years because of its ability to hydrate and plump the skin - it’s what Hada Labo is best known for! So let’s go over what the starter set contains!
Purify
The Hydrating Face Wash (12g) is the foaming type of cleanser with a squishy texture. It produces a soft lather that rinses away excess sebum, dirt, and sunscreen residue.
Hydrate
Next is arguably their most famous product, the OG Hydrating Lotion (30ml), that immediately quenches the skin. You won’t really need a cotton pad or ball to apply this as the formula is best patted on directly with clean hands so that it absorbs into the skin better. And BTW, this 30ml bottle is full-sized with the next size up being 170ml.
After toning, the Hydrating Light Cream (14g) layers on the moisture over the lotion for richer, longer-lasting hydration sans the oily feel. This is light enough to use under makeup. But if you’re going outdoors, there’s just one more step...
Protect
Finally the Sunplay Skin Aqua UV Watery Essence (50g) provides additional hydration (yep, also with Hyaluronic Acid!) while also giving SPF50 and PA+++ UVA/UVB protection. This sunscreen doesn’t have a white cast, so it won’t mess up the true color of your base makeup.
Aside from travel convenience, this set serves as a neat sampler for those who want to find out for themselves why Hada Labo and Sunplay are so well-liked internationally. You get two full-sized products, and the sunscreen alone is already worth P465!
