Radiant Skin Tips From Makeup Guru Xiao Kai Lao Shi

Taiwanese skincare and makeup guru Xiao Kai Lao Shi shares tips on how to moisturise oily skin:

1 Soak cotton pads with the Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Lotion and place them on the skin (especially on the T-zone) for about three minutes as a hydrating mask.

2 Use lightweight serums like the Hada Labo Hydrating Essence to hydrate without leaving a sticky feeling.

3 When skin is properly hydrated, even if there is sebum secretion, skin appears to have a dewy, translucent glow instead of just looking oily.
