Smooth, luminous skin, a perfect complexion, and flawless lips: what is the true secret of Asian women who always look like young girls?
If you also want to start taking care of your skin to make it shine again, let yourself be inspired by oriental beauty routines!
In fact, Asian women have a completely different approach to their skin compared to the typical Western one. Prevention is the foundation of every gesture and treatment.
In the East, skincare is taken care of daily: caress after caress, every day the skin is carefully cleansed, massaged, hydrated, and protected with exclusively natural products.
Every woman has her own indispensable ritual. Every woman, morning and night, takes care of herself.
The oriental one is a true philosophy, a way of living and being.
Taking care of your skin every day, in fact, means preserving its splendor over time for a dynamic concept of beauty that engages all the senses.
Every little bit of attention you dedicate to your body and skin will then transform into positive energy capable of helping you rediscover harmony with your surroundings.
Here, therefore, are 9 steps of oriental beauty routines that you should follow for perfect skincare.
1 - Cleanse your skin thoroughly and eliminate every trace of makeup
The first step to take in order to correctly follow the oriental beauty routine steps is to dedicate yourself carefully to facial cleansing.
Carefully remove every trace of makeup and thoroughly clean your face of every impurity, especially in the evening before going to sleep.
The Ikigai Cleanser, for example, is a transparent gel that cleanses and removes makeup thanks to its micelles that capture impurities.
Furthermore, the Japanese Eijitsu Rosa multiflora extract contained within it acts to reduce skin pores, while betaine, a natural moisturizer extracted from beets, improves the product's overall sensory experience.
Once you have applied it to your face, simply rinse it off with lukewarm water for clean, fresh, and soft skin.
The Ikigai Micellar Water is also perfect for gently cleansing the face and removing makeup from the face, eyes, and lips.
By applying it to a cotton pad, you can proceed with cleaning without rubbing your facial skin excessively.
The gentle surfactants contained within it guarantee uniform cleaning without a drying effect, while the precious distilled Lemon Balm water has a soothing and calming effect on the skin.
2 - Gently massage your face
Once your face is clean and free of impurities, dedicate yourself to a gentle massage to make your skin toned and elastic.
Massaging your face daily helps to prevent wrinkles.
Just think that Asian women spend even half an hour manipulating the skin on their faces.
Forehead, temples, but also chin, nostrils, eye contour, and neck: no corner of the face should be forgotten!
3 - Use a mask to regenerate the skin
Face masks are fundamental for satisfying your skin's needs.
It is advisable to apply a mask to your face at least once or twice a week so that you can reap all its benefits.
The Ikigai Crystal Mask has a particular gel structure characterized by a luminous effect. This is due to the presence of a satin silver-white pearl that gives the product a refined brilliance.
For luminous and firm skin, apply the mask generously to your neck and décolleté and let it act for five minutes before removing it with lukewarm water.
Alternatively, it is also possible to leave the Crystal Mask on throughout the night for optimal results: your skin, upon waking, will be radiant and shining!
4 - Use serums to protect and defend the skin
At this point, the next step is the application of serums. These serve to treat specific skin needs in very specific areas.
The Ikigai Hydra Serum, for example, has a protective effect and is ideal as a base for the subsequent application of a cream or a makeup product.
Simply apply a few drops to your face in the morning and/or evening, gently patting with your fingers onto the skin to see excellent results in a short time: signs of wrinkles are softened, lines of dryness are minimized, and the formation of impurities decreases.
The Filler Serum, on the other hand, gives the skin freshness and immediate hydration.
Also in this case, it is applied in the morning and/or evening with a light patting motion on the skin until completely absorbed and constitutes an excellent base for makeup as it does not grease or weigh down the skin.
5 - Do not forget the importance of a moisturizing cream to nourish facial skin
Skin hydration is fundamental and must never be forgotten.
The Ikigai Hydra Cream has a fluid liquid crystal structure that hydrates and immediately gives a sensation of freshness.
Apply it in the morning and/or evening to your face and neck after having cleansed both carefully. Use circular movements to let it absorb correctly and enjoy the feeling of soft naturalness on your skin.
Inside it, aloe, avocado oil, and shea butter contribute to giving the cream a particular nourishing effect.
6 - Take care of the eye contour
The eye contour is very important for having a luminous and expressive face.
The skin near the eyes, in fact, is very delicate and needs even more care and attention.
Choose the product most suitable for you according to your needs (anti-wrinkle, anti-puffiness, or anti-dark circles) and then apply it gently with circular movements.
7 - Protect your face from the sun
For perfect facial skincare, it is necessary to always protect yourself from UV rays.
Both in summer and in winter, it is truly important to apply specific products that defend the skin from the harmful effects of the sun.
In this way, in fact, you will prevent the appearance of spots and wrinkles on your face.
8 - Take care of your lips
Not only the eyes, but the lips also have their needs.
Use a lip balm to hydrate them correctly both in summer and in winter so as to protect them from possible imperfections and dryness.
9 - Use light makeup and never exaggerate
Finally, always remember that all oriental beauty routines never foresee an excess of makeup; on the contrary, Asian women prefer a natural look.
A touch of eyeliner and a light veil of lipstick on the lips are more than enough.
