What is J-Beauty?

Japanese skincare, like Korean skincare, boasts a millennia-old history! Its origins date back to the 6th century, during the Nara period, and – today as in the past – it represents a true holistic ritual aimed at achieving total well-being of the “self”, both physically, mentally, and spiritually. The role of water is also fundamental: always present in Japanese skincare, it has been a key element in Japanese tradition for millennia as a symbol of inner and outer purification!  

In particular, J-Beauty is based on three principles:  

  • Simplicity (kanso): J-Beauty is characterized by few, simple steps, yet with great effectiveness, and traditional natural ingredients such as tea, rice, camellia, algae, and bamboo. 
  • Ideal beauty (shibui): according to the Japanese, ideal beauty is ethereal, simple, elegant, and minimalistic. The goal for J-Beauty is not to achieve the famous glass skin of Korean skincare, but to attain the so-called “mochi skin,” a soft, plump, and naturally luminous skin (like the famous Japanese sweet)!  
  • Serenity (seijaku): we are the reflection of what we have inside. Inner peace, in fact, is fundamental in Japanese beauty rituals. Therefore, every product is applied following precise movements and massages to stimulate circulation, relax, and even prevent skin aging!  

 

Korean Skincare vs Japanese Skincare

Although similar in some respects, J-Beauty and K-Beauty have some key differences you should absolutely know:  

  • Approach: Korean skincare aims for perfection through layered and innovative products, while Japanese skincare sees each step as a ritual, prefers simplicity, and has a more minimalist philosophy! 
  • Skincare routine: K-Beauty favors a more elaborate routine with many steps, whereas J-Beauty prefers fewer steps and is oriented towards achieving long-term results (in short... slow and steady wins the race)!  
  • Ingredients: both Korean and Japanese cosmetics use traditional ingredients from their own cultures! In Korea, ingredients like centella asiatica and ginseng extract abound, while Japanese cosmetics feature primary ingredients such as tea, rice, and camellia!

There is no better skincare: the important thing is to find the right beauty routine for you (and your skin)!  

 

Japanese Skincare Steps

In the Japanese skincare routine, simplicity is everything: "Less is more", as they say. J-Beauty consists of 5 fundamental steps:  

  • Double cleansing: this step is of paramount importance in J-Beauty and is approached almost religiously! It is the key to purifying the skin and body at the beginning and end of the day, ensuring that every product applied afterwards works effectively! 
  • Toner (or moisturizing lotion): the Japanese toner (also called lotion) is meant to balance the skin's pH and soften it before the subsequent steps!  
  • Face serum: with a light texture and fast absorption, it further enhances the results of the Japanese face cream to be applied next!  
  • Moisturizer: hydrating and made with natural ingredients, the Japanese face cream is a crucial step to achieving the desired mochi skin!  
  • Sunscreen: to keep the skin young and free of imperfections for a long time – from a young age – the Japanese protect themselves from the sun with umbrellas, hats and sunscreen!  

Fewer steps, however, shouldn't make you think Japanese cosmetics are less effective than Korean or Western skincare: the goal of the Japanese beauty routine is to achieve softethereal skin with natural beauty that lasts over time!
