We have seen people go gaga over K beauty in the past but J beauty is catching up fast this year. Compared to Korean routine, the Japanese has a more simple and understated approach to beauty. The idea is to achieve flawless beauty by using a few products in a more methodical manner. Not just that, J Beauty products also puts focus on gentle skin care that results to soft, clear, and supple skin. If you want to get in with this trend, then check out these products for your skin care routine.
The first step in any beauty routine is to remove dirt and oil build-up from the skin. For this, you’ll need a gentle but effective cleanser. Some of the cleansers available in the market have alcohol content which can dry your skin. This is why some beauty experts recommend the use of cleansing oils instead. In the case of J Beauty products, these are gentle cleansing oil and oil-free cleansers that you can use for your routine. Check out DHC Deep Cleansing Oil and Deep Cleanse from Tatcha for your options.
After removing make-up and other beauty products, give your skin a nice clean wash. This will help remove any residual dirt or pollutants on the skin. Foaming cleansers like the Koh Gen Do Oriental Plants Facial Wash can help you in this step.
Another essential product for your J Beauty Routine is a lotion. Unlike thick moisturizing lotion that we are used to, the Japanese beauty lotion is a water like substance. It helps maintain the ph balance of your skin after cleansing or washing. Shiseido’s Fresh Jelly Lotion is quite popular among J Beauty fans.
Serums are like the fountain of youth nowadays as it helps get rid of skin imperfections. As such, they are also part of your J Beauty skin care. The type of serum you apply would of course depend on your specific skin needs. One popular option that you can consider is the SK-II Facial Treatment Essence. It is filled with vitamins and amino acids that encourage cell renewal. As a result, you get hydrated and plump skin as well as brighter complexion.
Your set of J Beauty products will not be complete without emulsions. They are similar to moisturisers except that they have a slightly lighter consistency. Emulsions also tend to have more moisture compared to creams. Use emulsions to supplement your serum and get better looking skin. Kose Sekkisei Emulsion is worth exploring if you want to even complexion and brighter skin.
Finish your J Beauty Routine with a moisturiser at nigh time. Also don’t forget to top your moisturiser with a wide spectrum sunscreen to protect the skin during day time.
