Skincare Trial Sets

How Long Should You Trial Skincare?

Your skin needs time to adapt to any new routine before you start to see results. The Japanese believe that harsh or aggressive formulations disturb your skin's natural barrier function, so don’t expect to see results happen overnight. At Shikō Beauty, we believe that you will see maximum beauty results through simple yet purposeful routines, and by using gentle products that heal your skin as well as the soul within.

 

Shikō’s beauty expert, Hinako Sugioka, suggests that changes to your skin may take at least one to two weeks after first using a new product. For some people, depending on your skin type and what sort of damage you are seeking to repair, it may take slightly longer, between one to three months. Our trial and travel sets will last you between one to three weeks, the perfect amount of time for you to start seeing some subtle, but noticeable, changes to your skin's health.

 

How Often Should You Try New Skincare Products?

For those with sensitive skin, trying new products can sometimes be a bit daunting. If you’re worried about the effects a new product may have on your face, you’re not the only one. Many American skincare products contain harsh ingredients that can disrupt your skin’s natural state and cause breakouts, dry patches, or worse.

 

At Shikō Beauty, all of our products are incredibly gentle, and are formulated for those with sensitive skin. If you’re still feeling nervous, our skincare trial sets are the perfect way to dip your toes in the water.

 

What Are the 3 Most Important Skin Care Products?

J-Beauty relies on three basic steps, with the option to add in additional formulations such as face serum (Step 3) depending on your skin type and skin concern. The three essential elements in a J-Beauty routine are:

 

• ● Step 1: Cleanser. The double cleanse is the hallmark of the J-Beauty routine.
• ● Step 2: Rehydrate. A light emulsion rehydrates the skin after cleansing, priming it for the next step.
• ● Step 4: Moisturize. A heavier cream is used as a final step to lock in moisture and nutrients from the previous steps.

All of our skincare trial sets feature everything you need to follow this simple routine: products to use for a double cleanse, an emulsion or oil in lotion for rehydration, and a heavier cream or moisturizer.

 

Our Lala Vie trial set features one of our favorite products, the Lala Vie Cleansing Balm which does the work of a double cleanse in one easy to use product that melts like butter to remove even the toughest makeup.
