My Mind and Body Are Feeling Lighter—My Favorite Supplements and Cosmetics

Recently, the frequency with which I take medication has decreased.

Before I distanced myself from my toxic parent, I felt a
gloomy worldview
almost every day.

I used to take medication to force myself to move,
carrying a heart that never felt clear and a body that felt like lead tied to heavy chains,

and I just managed to get through each day.

However, in recent years,
once I started keeping my distance from my toxic parent,
my physical condition began to improve
little by little, but surely.

Recently, my regular dermatologist
said to me, 'Sakita-san, you've rejuvenated! You look beautiful!✨'
(she is a very powerful female doctor) ↑
and hearing things like that,
I feel these days that escaping the poison and my daily self-care
were incredibly effective. I have become able to decide things based on my own values, and I am spending my days feeling convinced that I have removed the great shackles from my life and attained true freedom.

That said, there are waves in my physical condition.
Not being able to sleep or being easily tired
was my default state.
However,
compared to before, my mind ❤️ and body 🙌 have become
much more comfortable! I'm so happy! 😆

But just as I thought that,
I entered my 50s.
Now my body is struggling in a different way...

Yes, menopause... ✨ Pre-menopause...
I understand it in my head.
But my heart hasn't caught up with my 50s.
Still, my body is saying it's 'struggling.'

So,

I would like to introduce supplements and basic skincare products
that are effective for the mind and body
to support delicate women in this transitional generation.

I will introduce the supplements I have tried over the last 10 years
that I found good to take, and the basic skincare products 🧴
that I found good to use.

🍋 These are great! 3 Recommended Supplements!

① Suppon Komachi

https://www.teinei.co.jp/

I have a subscription for this supplement.
It is a supplement I have been taking for about 10 years,
and I have become less prone to fatigue.
It feels like it eases minor physical ailments
like feeling sluggish or having a hard time in the morning.
By taking it consistently every day,

I generally feel in good health.
I have gradually started to feel an improvement in my physical stamina.

② Equol Pure

This is a supplement I recommend
from your 40s to pre-menopause.
It contains a wide variety of vitamins,
including equol, which eases menopause,
and is centered on isoflavones, which are ingredients that mimic the function of female hormones.
It has the effect of regulating hot flashes and sweating,
which are characteristic of menopause.

I have been taking it for about 2 years,
and I feel great.

③ Tenshi no Lala

https://www.emi-net.co.jp/

Since this product is costly if ordered regularly year-round,
I take it during dry seasons,
mainly from autumn 🍂 to winter.
This is a liquid high-purity collagen.
By taking it continuously,
surprising changes appeared.
First, after taking it continuously for about 2 weeks in winter,
I no longer needed hand cream.
I feel moisture not just in my skin, but in my elbows, knee 🦵 joints, mucous membranes,
and probably even in my blood vessels and the internal cells of my body.
My knee 🦵 joints have become smoother.

Although I am introducing this for people in their 40s to 50s, it is fine to start taking it from your 30s.
It is suitable for everyone.

Honestly... I want to keep it a secret, but 🤫
this product is likely to become my favorite supplement.

🧴 4 Skincare Items You Should Incorporate
—Mostly affordable, sometimes high-end—

1. Lancôme Génifique Ultimate Serum

This is a masterpiece product from Lancôme.
It is a booster serum applied before toner
to enhance absorption.

☝️ The product above is a refill.
Since I am a repeat customer,
I have been buying the refills lately.
Because this is also quite expensive,
I don't use it year-round, but mainly in winter,
and it feels absolutely amazing.
After I get out of the bath and apply it from my face
down to my décolleté (neck),
when I apply toner afterward, my skin
drinks it right up.

Génifique was released over 10 years ago and
has been reborn as the
'Génifique Ultimate Serum'.
Currently, the Lancôme official online shop
has the full bottle in stock as well.

You can also purchase it at department stores.



2. LuLuLun Precious GREEN Glow Up

This is the familiar LuLuLun Precious
Face Mask Sheet GREEN from the drugstore.
It enhances the clarity of dull skin.
Even when I'm sleep-deprived or my skin condition is poor,
if I use the mask for about 5 minutes after washing my face in the morning,
and then follow with serum -> toner -> emulsion
in that order, my makeup application
improves significantly.
If I use the mask at night, my skin is
bright and moisturized the next morning♪

3. Vitabrid C Face

I am so glad I found this✨
I use it year-round. It is now an essential
part of my routine. I've been using it for 10 years.
I started back in the days when you could try one bottle for 500 yen with some skepticism,
but I was so impressed by its absorption power
that I immediately signed up for a subscription.
How to use it is to mix the fresh
Vitamin C powder into your existing toner or emulsion.
In any case, it refines the skin texture.
It has also made it harder for dark spots to form.
Above all, since the Vitamin C is not oxidized,
you can always use it in a fresh state.
Using the Lancôme booster and Vitabrid C together
in the winter is the ultimate combination👍
It may seem expensive at first glance, but the subscription course
is more economical.

4. Sana Nameraka Honpo Eye Cream NC A

This is an eye cream from the drugstore.
It's hard to believe it's an affordable 1,000 yen product,
as it spreads well and has a rich,
very moisturizing texture.

There is also a cream in the same series
that smooths out wrinkles, which is also good👍.
