Hand Press: the Japanese art of skin activating with hands
In Japanese beauty, the gesture counts as much as the formula. Before massage techniques or sophisticated tools, there is a simple and profoundly effective method: hand press.
Warm the treatment between the palms, then gently press it onto the skin. A minimalist ritual, but loaded with sensory and physiological intelligence.
Beneficial heat that activates the skin
By warming the lotion or serum between the hands, we create a temperature close to that of the body. This gentle heat promotes better penetration of active ingredients while stimulating microcirculation.
With the Bizen Lotion, the ritual takes place simply:
- Take a squeeze of lotion.
- Heat it between your palms.
- Gently press onto face and neck.
The gesture envelops the skin, soothes it and optimizes the absorption of treatments.

Hand Press as a facial repositioning gesture
In a more advanced version, the hand press becomes a modeling tool. With the COREFIT Deep Fitter Serum, formulated to act on the fascia, it helps anchor the results obtained after muscle stimulation (EMS, Face Pointer, Wavy Mini, Medilift, etc.).
The technique:
- Apply 2–3 pumps of serum.
- Squeeze and lift skin side up, hold for 3 seconds.
- Release slowly smoothing outwards.
Key areas: cheeks, temples, mandibular line, forehead. The gesture gently reshapes the contours while stimulating natural firmness.
The intelligence of touch
In Japanese philosophy, hands are an extension of skin consciousness. They sense temperature, tension, texture — and guide movements with precision.
The hand press thus becomes a subtle dialogue between the hands, the skin and the energy of care.
To practice morning and evening for soothed, luminous, vibrant skin.
