What Powerful Ingredient Can You Take From Japanese Skincare?
You may not know this, but Japanese skincare is taken very seriously. I think that’s one of the reasons why the women there age so well. Besides what they put on their face, the average diet in Japan is also very healthy—you don’t get much healthier than rice, sushi, and vegetables. Their high seafood diet contains essential fatty acids that nourish the skin. Another positive aspect of Japanese life is staying active, even into old age.
All these healthy habits make a great combination for firm, radiant skin.
But let’s focus in on Japanese skincare, because there is a lot we outsiders can learn. It’s well-known that there are three major causes of skin aging. It doesn’t matter where you live in the world, everyone’s skin affected by them. What are they?
Collagen and elastin loss
Free radical oxidation damage
The breakdown of hyaluronic acid
It’s this last big skin ager that we’re going to focus on because it ties in to Japanese skincare. Hyaluronic acid gives collagen and elastin fibers their stickiness. But, as we age, a harmful enzyme called hyaluronidase activates and starts breaking down hyaluronic acid. A depleted supply of this acid causes skin tone to look older and dark circles under the eyes often appear.
How can we maintain high levels of hyaluronic acid?
This is where we look to Japan. You see, there’s a natural substance called Phytessence Wakame that blocks the destructive action of the enzyme hyaluronidase.
What is Phytessence Wakame?
Well, it’s an extract from a type of sea kelp found in the Sea of Japan. Japanese people have been eating this kelp both fresh and dried for generations. With research and development, companies have taken this natural substance and turned it into a powerful skincare ingredient.
Besides protecting hyaluronic acid, Phytesssenc Wakame also contains a rich supply of the B-complex vitamins, iron, potassium, and calcium.
Now that you know this beauty secret of Japanese women, I encourage you to use a skin cream that contains Phytessence Wakame. It stops one of the major skin agers. What about the other two skin agers listed above? Well, at my website, you can learn what those are and how to prevent them. And you can get more info on which products contain this ingredient from Japan.
