Moisturizers

Why is moisture so important in J-Beauty?

For centuries, Japanese wisdom has held that the root of all skin troubles is dehydration. In Japan, optimal skin health is typified by “mochi skin”—an extremely soft, yet firm, plump, and smooth texture that is achieved with meticulous and delicate layers of moisture.

 

What makes J-Beauty Moisturizers unique?

Japanese moisturizers, also called creams, represent the highest level of daily skincare moisturization available. Japanese moisturizers are the heaviest out of all the layers of hydration that you will apply during your skincare routine - this makes them ideal for creating a protective moisture barrier that will keep your skin safe from external stressors. 

 

Japanese moisturizers are designed to protect the skin and help cell repair. Their rich consistency makes them ideal for nighttime use as a final step in your J-Beauty routine, sealing in the nutrients and healing benefits of serums and hydrating your skin throughout the night. They can also add a protective layer to dry skin during the day to guard against environmental stressors, such as harmful UV rays, pollution, dust, or other irritants. 

 

Moisturizers for dry skin

If you are one of the many people with dry skin on your face, choosing a moisturizer to protect, hydrate and repair your skin will make a significant difference to its overall appearance and condition. The best part? With J-Beauty, you don’t need a thick, greasy moisturizer to achieve premium hydration.

 

With J-Beauty, every step in your skincare routine works to add a layer of moisture, starting with your facial cleanser. The secret to treating dry skin is not to just throw on a thick heavy cream every night. Developing a complete skincare routine to build moisture is the secret to repairing the damage caused by dry skin, while ensuring that hydration is infused back into the skin by replacing lost moisture, the root cause of dry skin.

 

Moisturizers for oily skin

While many with oily skin may shy away from moisturizers, a lightweight cream that locks in moisture is actually one of the best ways to keep your sebaceous glands from receiving the signal to produce more oil. When picking out a moisturizer for oily skin, look for ingredients that are designed for deep hydration and skin conditioning, while providing a nourishing foundation for additional skincare steps or makeup.

 

When you focus on protective care that prevents moisture from escaping in the first place, you send the message to your skin that it can slow down on producing sebaceous oil that causes oily skin. So it is even more essential for those with oily skin not to skip on moisturizer.
