More information
A typical Japanese gel exfoliator with a unique gum effect: in contact with the skin, it creates a film that attracts dead skin cells and sebum excess. Then you just have to rub it gently to discover its gum effect typical of Japanese exfoliators.
The Skin Refining Gel is a very soft alternative to harsh exfoliatiors. Water-based, It is packed with a unique mix of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory Kampo herbs that calm irritation, even and brighten skin tone. It is suitable for very sensitive skin conditions.
The KI element here enhances blood circulation and gently removes dead skin cells, enabling your skin to renew itself.
Kampo
Kampo:
Kampo consists of a system of essentially three substance concepts: KI, KETSU, and SUI.
KI is energy fundamental to living things. KETSU and SUI represent the concepts of blood and bodily fluids.
In the belief of Kampo, a blocked circulation or an unbalanced condition can lead to illness. A healthy state of the human condition - and a beautiful skin - is the result of free, unrestrained circulation of KI, KETSU and SUI.
Ki - Energy flow:
An unhealthy skin tone, and a general ‘tired-looking skin’ often refers back to Ki-insufficiency. The skin literally has run out of energy. Energy to renew itself (i.e. shed old skin cells and produce new ones), energy to get the blood circulation going, and getting the important nutrients to the surface.
Ketsu - Blood nutrition:
Ever noticed that with age our skin sometimes looks like a balloon from which you have let the air out? Our once firm, bouncy cheeks look sunken and pale. That is a sign that we need extra nutrient power via our blood cells for more density, plumpness and moisture. It is the Kampo way to get the volume back to where it belongs.
Sui - Hydration:
If your skin looks really dehydrated and kind of crinkled up like an unironed linen shirt, that's a sure sign that it lacks a lot of hydration and important nutrients. Hydration is not only important to make skin look smooth as silk - the liquid properties in our skin are also needed to transport the nutrients from blood to skin cells and vice versa.
