Japanese women are renowned worldwide for their stunning beauty and meticulous skincare routines. Even as they age, their skin remains youthful, radiant, and smooth, often outshining their peers from other regions. For Polish women who prioritize makeup, adopting a patient and thorough skincare routine can yield significant benefits. Let's delve into the Japanese skincare process and the daily essentials favored by the inhabitants of the Land of the Rising Sun.

Understanding Asian Skincare
The Japanese approach to skincare involves a series of steps: cleansing, nourishing, deep moisturizing, and applying masks. Women in the Far East place great emphasis on using anti-aging products, moisturizers, and sunscreens. They believe that consistent, patient use of lightweight cosmetics can produce visible results. Besides regular use of these products, they maintain a balanced diet, get adequate sleep, and engage in relaxing exercises. This dedication to skincare and overall wellness is admired by women across Europe, including Poland.

Top Skincare Brand: Hada Labo Tokyo
You don’t need to travel to Tokyo to find top-notch Japanese skincare products. Hada Labo Tokyo, available in Poland, aligns with Asian beauty rituals, utilizing the hydrating power of three types of hyaluronic acids combined into one compound called Super Hyaluronic Acid™. This key ingredient makes Hada Labo Tokyo products light and gentle, suitable even for sensitive skin.

Step One: Cleansing
The first step in the Japanese skincare ritual is cleansing. Gentle cleansers are used to remove impurities, forming a pleasant foam when mixed with water. This foam effectively removes makeup and surface impurities while unclogging pores. A gentle massage during cleansing followed by a thorough rinse with clean water is recommended.

Step Two: Moisturizing with Lotion
Whether the skin is oily, normal, dry, or sensitive, experts in Japanese skincare advocate for light moisturizing lotions. The signature product of this stage is Lotion No. 1 - Super Hydrator, a best-seller in Japan and highly praised in Poland. It maintains optimal skin hydration and prevents aging. This lotion should be used at least twice a day: in the morning and evening after cleansing and during the day over makeup. It prepares the skin for the next product in the regimen: the serum.

Step Three: Applying Serum
Japanese women use serums to address specific skin issues. These lightweight products are rich in nutrients, anti-aging, or skin-brightening ingredients. Serums protect the skin's natural moisture and enhance its hydration. An example is the Water Lock-in-Moist Serum, which contains concentrated Super Hyaluronic Acid™. This serum reduces signs of fatigue, deeply hydrates, and revitalizes the skin, making it an excellent base for makeup or under cream.

Step Four: Creams and Masks
Moisturizing is crucial, with creams containing hyaluronic acid, retinol, or collagen leading the way. These ingredients help retain skin moisture, enhance elasticity, and reduce wrinkles. For those who prefer gel-based products, the Hydro-Gel for Day and Night combines the benefits of a cream with the intense hydration of a serum, leaving the skin smooth and soft.

The Moisturizing and Smoothing Cream for Day and Night is another excellent option. Its light, fluffy texture deeply hydrates, smooths the complexion, and slows the aging process. Suitable for all skin types, it refreshes and brightens the skin.

Eye creams are essential in Japanese skincare, used daily, morning and evening. The delicate skin around the eyes shows fatigue and aging signs first, so products like the Anti-Fatigue Eye Cream with Super Hyaluronic Acid™, Collagen, Pink Silk Tree extract, and Caffeine are crucial. They reduce wrinkles, signs of fatigue, dark circles, and puffiness.

The final element of the skincare ritual is the mask, used once or twice a week. Popular in Japan are fabric masks soaked in a concentrated toner or serum, like the Deeply Moisturizing Fabric Mask. This mask, rich in three types of hyaluronic acid, provides intense hydration, refreshes, and smooths the skin. It’s easy to use: simply apply the fabric to the face, wait fifteen minutes, and pat in the remaining emulsion. Suitable for all skin types, this mask adds a luxurious touch to any skincare routine.
