And today we will reveal them to you.
Peculiarities

Removing makeup
Japanese ladies don't neglect makeup. On the contrary, many women in Japan put on complex makeup and lighten their skin every day to bring their appearance closer to the European ideal. Most of the products that are sold in Japanese stores are of very high quality composition. For example, instead of heavy foundation, Japanese women use modern BB and CC creams with the latest formula, which allows not only to achieve the desired decorative effect, but also cares for the skin, making it even more beautiful.
In addition, these products usually contain a fairly high level of SPF - a sun protection factor.It also significantly affects the condition of the epidermis, because everyone knows that excessive ultraviolet radiation harms human skin and provokes premature aging.
Of course, all this makeup must be thoroughly rinsed off at the end of the day. And for these purposes, Japanese beauties use hydrophilic oil, which quickly and effectively copes even with persistent makeup. The product is applied to a cotton pad or directly to the face. Then, with massaging movements, all cosmetics are washed off, and with it other impurities accumulated during the day. If necessary, the procedure is repeated one more time.
Also, some Japanese women use special oil-based products for make-up removal. The main thing to remember here is that before applying such a product, it is imperative to warm it up in the palms of your hands.
Washing
This stage is especially important. It is necessary to rinse off all dirt from the skin as thoroughly as possible in order to maintain it in good condition. For washing, Japanese women use effective, but soft gels, foams and mousses designed for daily use. But they do not apply these funds with their hands.
To begin with, they are thoroughly foamed with a special mesh or sponge. Then apply a thick lather all over the face and neck and massage the skin along the massage lines. It is important to completely remove the product from the skin.
Tip: Before washing your face, wash your hands thoroughly. Also, keep in mind that it is best to dab your face with paper towels after washing. This will help protect your skin from germs.
Moisturizing and nourishing
Typically, many women in Japan use a serum that matches their skin type rather than a cream. If your skin is dry, it needs intense nourishment and hydration. For oily and combination skin, serums are suitable, which contain components that regulate the work of the sebaceous glands.
The serum is applied to the face, neck and décolleté, after rubbing the product between the palms.
Also, women in Japan do not forget about skin care around the eyes. After all, it is there that mimic wrinkles begin to appear very early. A specially selected light cream must be applied with gentle movements, lightly pressing with the pads of your fingers on the eyelids. Do not stretch the skin, it will do more harm than good. Eye care should be a daily beauty ritual for every girl.
Tip: It is best to apply the eye cream with the pad of your ring finger, as this will minimize the pressure on your skin. Also, do not forget about the anti-aging cream if you are over 25 years old.
Timely prevention will help slow down the external signs of age-related changes.
Moisture retention
Skin that is hydrated always looks more beautiful and healthy. Japanese girls know exactly how to properly maintain water balance. It is important not only to nourish the outer layer of the epidermis, but also to preserve this moisture.

9 rules of personal care
Now we present 9 golden rules for beautiful and well-groomed skin from the famous cosmetologist from the Land of the Rising Sun Chizu Saeki.
Every girl should know them.
- Study your own face. In the modern pace of life, women cannot afford to spend a lot of time on facials. And even more so to constantly and closely monitor the condition of the skin.However, it is imperative not to neglect this. Study your skin type, analyze the problems that you have. All this will help in the future to choose the most correct care system that suits you.
- Accept yourself. Everyone knows that inner beauty and harmony are much more important than outer ones. If you know the advantages and disadvantages of your appearance, but fully accept them, others will notice it. Be less guided by pictures in fashion magazines, more often look at your own reflection in the mirror.
Models are ordinary people. It's just that make-up artists and photographers carefully work on their appearance. And the picture does not always correspond to reality. Therefore, there is no reason for complexes!
- Do not overuse decorative cosmetics. You don't need to use a lot of cosmetics to look good. And even more so, do not think that expensive products always justify their cost. Remember, even the most expensive cosmetics will not hide severe rashes, bags under the eyes and similar problems. Only buy products that are suitable for your skin type. To look amazing, the most important thing is to achieve the perfect complexion. Don't skimp on foundation and don't forget to use sunscreen.
- Learn to self-massage. Gymnastics for facial muscles can significantly improve skin color, make it more elastic, beautiful, literally radiant with health. Set aside just 10 minutes a day to do this. Massage daily and the results will not be long in coming. And if you do not want to independently study the techniques of sculptural massage at home, you can always turn to a professional for such a service.
- Use funds wisely. In the process of skin care, the rule “the more the better” does not apply. Do not think that if you apply a thick layer of expensive cream on your face, the effect will only get better. Most likely, most of the product will simply dry out on the surface of the skin, thereby preventing the cells from "breathing". Use each product wisely, and don't fill your bathroom shelves with dozens of unnecessary jars and sticks.

To do this, you will need a regular cotton towel and lotion. Just soak a tissue in lotion and apply it to your face for a few minutes. To achieve the best effect, it is recommended that you first apply a towel soaked in hot water to your face to open the pores.
- Redefine your lifestyle. Even the most expensive cosmetic procedures will be useless if you neglect physical activity, eat junk food and drink little water. If you can't get to the gym, then take some time to at least take some short walks in the park. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, reduce the consumption of fried and starchy foods to a minimum. Drink plenty of clean water, in addition to juices and tea. You will be pleasantly surprised how much your skin condition will change with these tips.
