The three main principles of skincare are said to be “cleansing,” “anti-drying,” and “UV protection.
Healthy skin has a barrier function that works to protect the skin from external stimuli and ultraviolet rays and the skin’s innate ability to protect the skin’s inner moisture, resulting in moist and beautiful skin, i.e., moisturized skin.
In order for the barrier function to function properly, the skin must first be cleansed of dirt before moisturizing. In this issue, we will talk about [cleaning].
Why cleaning is essential
The skin is covered with oxidized sebum, sweat, exfoliated keratin, dust, and pollutants in the air. Suntan lotion and makeup are also unwanted dirt. These contaminants can irritate the skin and cause skin problems such as dryness and acne, so cleaning is necessary to keep the skin clean. Some people think of washing with hot water without using any detergent, but it is recommended to use a detergent because the stickiness and smell of sebum often cannot be removed, and the risk of bacteria growth increases. The same applies not only to the face but also to the body and hair.
How to Choose a Cleaning Agent
Next, what type of cleaning agent should I use?
Soap type, foam type, liquid type, mousse type, powder type.
As you can see, there are many types just in terms of shape alone, so you may be at a loss if you do not know what to use. We would also like you to choose what kind of ingredients are used while checking your skin condition.
You should avoid products that leave your skin feeling tight after washing, or that use artificial fragrances or colorants, as these ingredients may cause itching or irritation.

Toyama Bay Deep Sea Water
Deep seawater is the source of the richness of the Mother Sea, which is said to be the origin of life, and has many minerals that have been dissolved in it over a long period of time.
It has a mineral balance similar to that of amniotic fluid and contains many nutrients such as calcium and magnesium. Deep seawater has a high affinity with the skin and has excellent permeability, working on ceramides that support the barrier function, resulting in high moisturizing power.
Point ２: Cold press method
The cold-press method was born 1,000 years ago, and has a long history that predates the Azuchi-Momoyama period, when soap is said to have been introduced to Japan. In the past 10 years, liquid soaps with high convenience have been popular, but now solid soaps with simplicity and history are attracting attention once again. Among them, soaps made by the cold-press method have gained a lot of support from people with dry skin and those who want to use products that are gentle on their skin.
*The cold-press method involves pouring in a soap base rich in moisturizing ingredients and beauty ingredients and hardening it. It is very time-consuming to make soaps full of beauty ingredients. The price is a little high because mass production is not possible due to the time required for production. Compared to ordinary soaps, it has a good lather, but does not foam well.
Washing Method
Lather the detergent thoroughly and wash with foam.
↓
Wash gently without fingernails, rolling the foam to avoid direct contact with skin.
↓
Rinse with lukewarm water by moving hands from inside to outside
↓
Rinse under chin, hairline, and face line thoroughly.
↓
Wipe off water by pressing the skin with a towel.
Post-cleaning care moisturizer
After washing and cleansing the skin, it is important to remember to moisturize it from the outside to replenish moisture. Both the face and body need to be moistened (lotion) and moisturized (cream) to maintain a good balance of moisture.
