Japanese skin care routine
The skin cleansers that Japanese women use are often oil-based, so they can cleanse without stripping the body of natural oils. Others clean the skin more than once to make sure all makeup and dirt is gone. We recommend natural camellia oil. People from Japan often use serum to treat and moisturize their skin. The serum is chosen carefully, for each situation and climate, and gives the skin time to absorb the serum without slathering other products along.
The sun is a great enemy of the skin, so the Japanese always use sunscreen that exists in thousands of forms like spray, lotion, and gel. Japanese women also wear sunscreen before applying makeup. Exposure to the sun results in freckles, spots, and wrinkles. Thanks to the help of sunscreen and also the climate in Japan, they manage to maintain their perfect appearance. They avoid using alcohol to clean your face, it increases pores and oiliness.
Japanese women also tend to exfoliate their skin a lot, they use finely ground adzuki beans. They also gently rub their face with towels or bathing suits. Even the way Japanese women think and act influence their appearance. Ever heard that saying that beauty comes from within? And the Japanese way of thinking really helps in their routine of seeking skin perfection. To achieve this they had to adopt different cultural customs, have a good mood and positive thoughts. Stress is a great enemy of beauty, so keep calm!
