Japanese skin care

Have you ever noticed how beautiful and young Japanese women look?

Their secret lies in careful daily skin care, because the appearance reflects not only natural data, but also social status: in order to become successful, you need to look well-groomed. Although many European women also boast smooth and clean skin, Japanese women have held the palm here for more than a decade. Of course, the quality of the used cosmetics from Japanese brands, which value their reputation and are very responsible for the creation and production of cosmetics, which, by the way, contain only natural ingredients, plays an important role here.

Beautiful Japanese dedicate skin care a few hours a day and nothing can interfere with this ritual called layering (англ. наслоение). Routine care usually consists of several stages, first of which there is purification. In fact, Japanese women have a 2-step cleansing process, since it starts directly from the removal of makeup and only after that - washing. Makeup is removed effortlessly with hydrophilic oil. Then, with foam, clean the pores and surface of the skin from makeup residues and impurities. The action of the foam resembles cleansing with a scrub, but the skin is not injured. After the skin is thoroughly cleaned, you can begin to layering. Second stage is applying lotion, and, therefore, intensive hydration.

Third stage - application of serum or any concentrate. Basically, Japanese women use serums, which in themselves are a unique multi-purpose tool: they relieve dryness, irritation and acne, eliminate excessive pigmentation and gradually smooth out shallow wrinkles. High-quality serum provides the skin with deep hydration and simply saturates with vitamins and minerals. For example, serum with vitamin C 10% Obagi C10 Serum (regular size). Only 12 ml of serum will be enough for 40 days of morning and evening use, i.e. 3-4 drops at a time of application will be enough (a pipette is included and attached to the cap). Serum is very popular in Japan, contains the necessary concentration of vitamins C and E, extracts of artichoke, kelp and Asian centella. The action is primarily aimed at narrowing the pores, reducing peeling and smoothing the skin tone. At the same time, the serum does not differ in fat content and strong fragrances: the consistency is light, instantly absorbed, leaving no trace of fat and has a pleasant light orange aroma.

For those who are primarily struggling with signs of skin aging, it would be advisable to use serum for face from the same company Obagi, Derma Power X Serum. Here we already have a larger container, by 50 ml, in a glass bottle with a pump, designed for about a month. The main component of serum are proteoglycans, which are extremely effective in counteracting the signs of skin aging: sagging and sagging. Additionally, ingredients such as tetrapeptide 5, retinol, collagen, elastin oligopeptide 24 - indispensable and extremely effective in the fight against dehydration, post-acne, superficial wrinkles. In addition, the above components increase elasticity and restore skin elasticity. The consistency of the serum is very convenient for application: light, slightly viscous, does not stick and is well absorbed.

Next stage - emulsion or cream. I would recommend Obagi Active Surge Platinized Milk collagen cream emulsion with platinum and collagen. Thanks to the smallest particles of platinum colloid in the composition, this tool provides amazing anti-aging, brightening and antioxidant effects, and in combination. Obagi Active Surge Platinized Milk is recommended to be applied as a follow-up after using a moisturizing lotion, and after special care using serum, and the consumption is extremely economical: a volume of 80 ml is enough for more than 2 months of use. The composition of the emulsion also includes hyaluronic acid, soy peptides, squalane, brown algae extract and collagen, which provide high-quality hydration and remove peeling, making the skin surface smooth and uniform. For normal to oily skin types, emulsions it is quite enough, but for the dry type it is recommended to apply the cream as a supplement. Texture emulsions not sticky and not greasy, absorbed slowly, but completely, without leaving greasy marks. Particularly noteworthy is the unpretentious, observable aroma of tropical plants, moderately sweet.

If you are over 30 and you want to have healthy, young and radiant skin - do not save on care products, choose those that correspond to your age, type and condition of the skin.
