In the Japanese tradition of layering, exfoliation plays an essential role. This step, crucial for the health and beauty of the skin, gently eliminates dead cells that dull the complexion and clog pores.Â
The stratum corneum: a daily challenge
Despite our regular cleansing efforts, a thin layer of dead skin, known as the stratum corneum, naturally forms on the surface of our skin. Besides its dull appearance, this layer clogs the pores and limits the effectiveness of the treatments applied. That's where exfoliation comes in, gently but effectively, to remove those impurities and reveal the glowing skin underneath.
Japanese exfoliants offer an exceptional care experience, respecting the criteria of quality and reliability. These products, from Japanese beauty secrets, are designed to meet the needs specific to facial skin, providing radiance and softness after each use.
An essential care ritual
Exfoliation is much more than a simple beauty procedure: it is an essential care ritual. By stimulating cell renewal, it promotes skin regeneration and reduces the risk of imperfections. This practice, anchored in Asian cosmetics, is a fundamental pillar of any complete and effective skincare routine.

It is important to understand the differences between enzymatic and physical methods to choose the one that best suits our skin type.
Enzymatic exfoliation uses natural enzymes to gently dissolve dead cells, ideal for sensitive skin.
Physical exfoliation uses granular particles or brushes to mechanically remove dead skin cells. It works by rubbing the surface of the skin to dislodge impurities and promote cell renewal.
The benefits of enzymatic exfoliation are its gentleness on the skin and its non-irritating nature. It is particularly suitable for sensitive skin and can be used daily. However, its action may be slower compared to physical exfoliation.
On the other hand, thephysical exfoliation offers immediate and effective action, ideal for visibly removing dead skin cells. However, it can sometimes be a little irritating, especially if used too frequently or with excessive pressure.
