Mornings are always busy. Even though you don't have much time, you still want to take good care of your skin and feel good about yourself!
Here are some items that will help fulfill the wishes of busy moms.

We asked makeup artist Shinobu Igari, who is working on the “Meiku Project” with ampule, to recommend her favorite items for this summer.

Here are some items from the Mediplus brand that are recommended for summer skincare.

Save time and make your skin happy! Mediplus’s three summer essentials

cleansing milk


A milk-type cleanser that is gentle on the skin. Its properties change depending on the thickness of makeup and the amount of sebum, and its “auto-change formula” cleanses according to the condition of your skin on that day.

Igarashi’s recommended points

Even if you are busy in the morning, neglecting your skincare routine will inevitably lead to dry skin. If you don’t moisturize your skin properly, your makeup will come off easily.

Mediplus products are easy to use even when you are short on time, helping moms save time on their skincare routine. The texture blends well with the skin, providing it with ample moisture.

The gentle formula is also recommended for children’s skincare. Both adults and children will feel the difference in their skin!

These are must-have items to incorporate into your skincare routine during the harsh summer heat.

What is the Meiku Project?

The “Meiku” project is a collaboration between Shinobu Igari and ampule, launched with the aim of promoting the correct and safe use of makeup for children, whose age is becoming increasingly younger.  
The project aims to promote the correct and safe use of kids' makeup and provide opportunities for parent-child communication.

It's not just about looking cute—it's about nurturing the heart through “Meiku” (comprehensive makeup education)!  
Participants learn not only the techniques and tips for applying makeup but also how to express their individuality joyfully while valuing their own faces and bodies.  

Through beauty, we aim to deepen the bond between parents and children and create a world filled with more smiles.  
That is the vision of this project.
