3/19/2019 0 Comments TOP FIVE JAPANESE BEAUTY TIPSIf you're looking for some new tips and tricks to achieve clear and healthy skin, then you're in the right place as we explore Japanese beauty culture.Have you ever wondered how the Japanese have such flawless and youthful looking skin? So have we, which is why we’ve searched the web for five of the best kept Japanese secrets that will leave your skin looking fresh and healthy. matcha teaThe Japanese credit drinking 'Matcha Tea' for their flawless complexions. With its antibacterial properties and high levels of epigallocatechin gallate, Matcha is an excellent ingredient for reducing inflammation and evening skin tone. This natural ingredient is also known to treat oily skin with the tannins in Matcha, which helps to shrink pores and reduce the production of oil. Camellia oil, which derives from the green tea plant, is known by some as magic in a bottle. It’s rich in omegas and vitamins and is perfect as an on-the-go product for keeping skin moisturised. Our top recommendation is the Matcha range from Milk Makeup, which includes a cleanser, toner and detoxifying face mask. You can purchase this from Cult Beauty here. Emulsion and Gel formulasThe Japanese tend to use emulsions, which are of a watery liquid consistency, rather than a thick cream. This is then patted on to the skin after cleansing to deliver deep, intense moisture which feels lightweight without clogging the pores. This gel formula is perfect for both dry and oily skin types as it absorbs quickly into the skin, without leaving behind a greasy residue. Our favourites include: Neutrogena’s Hydro Boost available from Boots Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream available from Kiehls.co.uk where students will also receive 10% off with a valid UniDays account. Macs Mineralize Charged Water available at Mac Cosmetics where students will also receive 10% off with a valid UniDays account. Cleansing OilsUsing a facial cleansing oil is a gentler way of dissolving dirty skin oil combined with bacteria, makeup, dead skin cells and other debris from your face. It instead replenishes your face with clean, nourishing oils that help to balance your skin’s natural oils instead of stripping them away. There is a range of affordable cleansing oils available to buy, including the Garnier Micellar Oil Infused Cleansing Water which is available to purchase online on FeelUnique.com or the Estee Lauder Perfectly Clean Triple-Action, available here. Sheet MasksSheet masks are a must for the Japanese beauty routine! A sheet mask is typically a cotton or fibre sheet, which is pre-cut to match your face which soaks in liquid formulas with heavily infused ingredients. Sheet masks are effective in delivering nutrients, acting as a second skin as it absorbs the serum. This helps to block out bacteria and dirt which otherwise, would be passed on when applying creams or masks. One of our favourites is the Pretty Animalz face mask range by MasqueBAR, available on ASOS with a 10% discount when using a valid UniDays account. FACE MASSAGEStimulating your face muscles with regular massages brings oxygen to the area, increasing the blood flow in the area, helping you achieve a healthy and natural glow to your skin. Face massages are an easy way to keep your skin appearing youthful without spending lots of money on skincare regimes. tia patelFeatures Writer for INSYNC-MK
