GOODBYE 2018 Three-time winners in 2018: Quick-rejuvenators for beauty and wellness
This month, we would like to introduce you to the best relaxation items of 2018. The “hot packs” of duty free shopping, these items are guaranteed to make you feel warm and cozy just by having them nearby. All year, you worked hard but your vacations were too short and the after-effects too long, and 2018 seems to have passed us by even faster than usual. What we have to deal with now, however, is a prolonged end-of-year period and all the extra work and events that entails. With the weather growing colder by the day and fine dust entering the picture as an untimely and unwanted seasonal guest, you are probably even more tired than usual. To help you address the needs of your exhausted body and mind at the end of this year, Shinsegae Duty Free is introducing items that will help restore the physical health, beauty, and mood of everyone who had a busy and fulfilling year.
01 Restoring your “vacation glow:” Items for reviving physical health
Are you having trouble rediscovering the energetic version of yourself that enjoyed your last vacation so much? If so, it’s time to restore that physical energy (and revisit some tips for readjusting to reality) you seem to have lost since then. What we mean by “readjusting to reality” is “restoring your physical health so that you can go on another vacation!” Many travel experts have recommended the following as ways of overcoming post-vacation lethargy: 1) getting regular sleep, 2) doing light exercise (walking, stretching, etc.), 3) consuming plenty of fruits and vegetables, and 4) avoiding caffeine and alcohol. The final pieces of the puzzle that complete the four tips provided above are health/home appliances and nutritional supplements. For example, small “home spa”-style massagers, which relieve everyday muscle tension, re-create the relaxing mood of your last trip. And some of the most important health supplements are: Vitamin B, a natural energizer that is known as the “high school senior nutrient,” Vitamin D, which is especially lacking among office workers, and red ginseng and probiotics, which strengthen our immune system.
02 Restful healing that’s like a mini-vacation: Relaxation for your skin
With the dryness of the winter air combining with the fine dust, cleansing, soothing, and moisturizing are now more important than ever. Now is the time of year that dead skin cells pile up, as the body’s metabolism slows down when it’s cold, impeding the skin’s natural turnover process. Even so, the golden rule for [removing dead skin cells in wintertime] is moderation. If you “peel” your skin as aggressively as you did in the summer, it will become even more sensitive. Because the act of cleansing is itself an irritant, make sure to minimize irritation especially when [deep cleansing] to give your skin enough time to rest in a clean state. After you’re done cleansing, apply some essence, lotion, and cream (in this order) to [soothe], [moisturize], and provide [nutrients] for your skin. Just like you, your skin needs a “winter coat.” It is vital that you “drench” your skin in moisture before covering it with a humectant. The reason for this is the same principle according to which damp cotton absorbs water better than dry cotton!
03 The secret to captivating beauty: Self-beauty items to make every day look like a magazine photo spread
There is one item that we all need in order to achieve inner peace, or “emotional welfare” in its truest sense—that is, confidence. Confidence is something that gives people psychological stability and a sense of satisfaction that cannot be suppressed, which is why creators choose the items they use on a daily basis with particular care. People are always looking for special and beautiful things to enhance the quality of their everyday routines, and thus their quality of life in general. Here, were present some everyday luxuries that will turn you into a “walking Dior” or “walking Armani,” including such items as sunglasses (necessary for protecting your eyes year-round, not only in summer), high-end liquor (to enhance your social skills on important occasions), the quintessential t-shirt (which is even harder to choose because of its basic nature), and lipstick, also referred to as “face lighting.”
