What is Japanese Skincare?
The Japanese lifestyle is quite a bit different from the lifestyle of a typical Westerner. They appear to eat much better than we do and often they live in a communal atmosphere with lots of interaction between friends and family. Most of them also appear to have smooth healthy skin. So, what is Japanese skincare all about?Another to note is that their diet is rich in seafood, which contains Omega 3 fatty acids. As you are probably aware, Omega 3 is good for the skin. What else do they do as part of the Japanese skincare program?
One of the main secrets they employ is that they use natural ingredients in their skincare program. One of the substances they use is called Phytessence Wakame. It is derived from a specific type of Japanese sea kelp. In fact, they even eat this type of seaweed as well. It contains powerful antioxidants used to fight the damage caused by free radicals.
Other benefits of this natural substance include being able to help reduce inflammation of the skin, which could cause premature aging in the skin. Phytessence Wakame will protect the hyaluronic acid in the skin from being broken down. This natural acid in the skin works at keeping your skin firm, smooth and moist.
You will not find many if any of the major cosmetic companies using this natural substance in their skin care creams. However, some small companies around the world do use it. One of them is located in New Zealand and their products are available on the internet, although they are not available in stores.
This is not the only natural ingredient used in Japanese skincare. I cover other natural substances in detail on my website.
