A Japanese Beauty Blogger Shares Her Secrets


Here at Byrdie, we're fascinated by the beauty routines of women the world over. We've scoured through every inch of the Earth from French pharmacy finds and the three reasons we can't get enough of them, to Moroccan skincare secrets for smoother, silkier skin. Now, we're looking further afield to Japan to find out what beauty tips and tricks we can take inspiration from for our own routines. We spoke to Japanese beauty blogger Nic in Tokyo, who runs the beauty blog Beau Tea Time, to let us in on a typical Japanese woman's beauty regimen.To get more news about 91精品国产, you can visit our official website.

NIT: The biggest difference to a French routine is that Japanese people wash their face more often than French women, for sure. I am not sure about Korean beauty regimens, because I personally am not a big fan (Korean pharmaceutical affairs law is not as strict as what it is in Japan, which means their products are more effective and can be very harsh. I always break out when I use Korean products).

When it comes to skincare, I believe Japan is a step ahead compared to Western countries, but makeup-wise, not so much. We value the beautiful and healthy state of the skin, rather than piling up a lot of makeup on. Sheer and natural foundation is more common than heavy coverage foundation. Recently, some magazines started talking about contouring, and some brands like Cezanne brought out contouring products.

The trends I have seen recently are colored eyebrows and colored eyeliners. Though Japanese people are usually very conservative, recent trends suggest more playful looks.Japanese consumers are very curious about beauty products. They want to know what they are paying for, why the product is effective, and how it works. This means the brands usually list active ingredients, so Japanese women tend to have a good knowledge of ingredients. They value how it feels and how the skin reacts, rather than thinking in a very analytical way as Japanese women do. Hyaluronic acid has been well-known in Japan for more than 15 years (possibly 20 years), but it’s just become popular in the UK in the past couple of years–I am not sure if it was because there were not so many products containing the ingredient or none of the brands marketed it.

Ceramides should be more popular in the UK [Ed note: Ceramides are lipid molecules naturally occurring in the skin that help retain moisture and keep the skin plump]. It is an incredibly well-known ingredient in Japan, and in some sense, it’s better than hyaluronic acid.
