“As the formulas are so spare, it means the quality and precision of each ingredient is paramount,” explains Tatcha founder Vicky Tsai.
From rice bran to sake, the best Japanese skincare products typically contain natural ingredients, with a particular focus on hydration. “According to Japanese beauty philosophy, skincare products should work in harmony with the skin,” says Dr Catherine Hood, an advisor at leading Japanese skincare brand,. Natural ingredients are often combined with naturally occurring compounds such as hyaluronic acid to help transform the skin.
. “As the formulas are so spare, it means the quality and precision of each ingredient is paramount. Only a few ingredients are needed and can be really beautiful when done right.”There’s a lot of crossover between the primary ingredients in Japanese skincare and core foods in the nation’s diet. Think rice, green tea and seaweed.
“In Japan, they recognise that the skin is a brilliant organ and takes good care of itself, with a little bit of help,” Tsai continues. “A simple routine of purifying, polishing, plumping and nourishing helps to work with the skin.”Japanese skincare rituals are usually rather simple. “There is a bit of a misconception in the Western world that the Japanese skincare ritual is a complicated process with a dozen steps required each day,” Tsai says.
“The first step is usually a cleansing oil , followed by a very gentle exfoliation – historically with rice enzymes , then an essence , and finally sealing in all the goodness with a moisturiser or oil . Protecting the skin from UV damage with sunscreen and protective accessories, like a hat or parasol, is essential as well,” Tsai explains.“Essences and face masks are staples in Japan,” says Tsai.
