Unlike the 10-step Korean skincare ritual, Japanese women prefer to simplify things and stick to what they know will work for their skin.

Essentially, Japanese women tend to: cleanse, tone and moisturise with a facial oil. Afterwards, they apply a layer of sunscreen and they’re good to go! 

Instead of relying on plenty of makeup to look radiant, Japanese women prefer to keep their skin as natural looking as possible. 

Besides, applying less makeup makes the cleansing ritual easier. 

It’s no wonder Shu Uemura’s cleansing oils are so popular! 

Japanese women absolutely love their oils. Whether it’s for cleansing or moisturising, they know how importants oils are for their face and aren’t afraid to use it. 

Plus, oil cleansers help to remove oil-based makeup and moisturise in the process. 

We reckon cleansing is practically a universal beauty tip and it’s true! Whether you’re into Korean or Western skincare tips, cleansing is the beauty tip that most women swear by when dishing out their best kept secrets. 

Instead of applying skincare products onto their hands and rubbing it onto their skin, Japanese women tend to apply skincare onto their fingers and then slap it onto their face gently. 

They start from their chin and move upwards to promote blood circulation and improve skin absorption. 

Japanese women love loading up on their green tea and healthy foods like fresh fish and fruits. They also steer clear of foods that have been processed and prefer to eat raw, grilled or pickled foods because it’s just so much healthier for them.
