When talking about Japanese women, the first thing that comes to mind is their perfectly smooth white skin.
Young girls look like porcelain dolls, and older women have no wrinkles.
The reason for such appearance is proper nutrition, high standard of living in the country and traditional care, which has roots laid many years ago. The article will tell about their secrets of youth and radiant skin.
Matcha and Yogurt Mask
Matcha (mattya) contains components aimed at moisturizing the skin, soothing it and relieving irritation. This powdered green tea is considered a folk remedy in the fight against acne.
Natural yogurt is also a common component in homemade Japanese masks. It tones the skin, lightens it slightly due to the acids in the composition, reduces redness and fights oxidation.
To use these two components, take 1 tbsp. matcha and 2 tbsp. natural yogurt, mix in a ceramic bowl and apply the mixture to a cleansed face. Rinse with warm water after 20 minutes.
Oil as a cleanser
Japanese women carefully and thoroughly cleanse their facial skin, washing away oil and dirt from the environment. This is a very important step that should not be skipped.
For this process, they use cleansing oil. It dissolves accumulated dirt very well and does not dry out the skin. It is very important to wash it off with a cleansing gel, chosen in such a way as not to dry out the face and not to wipe off all the moisture from the oil.
Retinol in creams
This component has the property of lightening the skin, fighting pigmentation. It can be used in the season with minimal sun exposure. Otherwise, hyperpigmentation will only increase.
In addition, vitamin A, under the influence of ultraviolet rays, loses all its properties. The ideal time to use fluids, serums and creams with it is late autumn and winter.
Makeup with brushes
You can't see a Japanese woman applying cosmetics to her skin with her fingers. Girls always use sponges or brushes.
In this way, they protect their face from the spread of bacteria and achieve the perfectly thin coverage that is typical of their traditional makeup. They do not accept a lot of foundation, total contouring and a lot of concealer.
Rice water as a toner
A toner made from this water brightens the skin and gives it an incredibly velvety finish. It can also be used after peeling and cleaning to soothe the epidermis, relieve redness and irritation.
This is an inexpensive but very useful remedy, you can make it yourself. You just need to let the rice sit in water so that it releases all the starch, stir the resulting water and use at your discretion.
Rice water is used for tissue compresses, as a toner and sprayed on the skin.
Japanese women skillfully combine modern and traditional care. They see nothing wrong with cheap home remedies, use them on a regular basis, choose quality cosmetics, cleanse their skin well and always protect their face from the sun.
