Skincare Secrets from Around the World: Part 1

January 27, 2016

The way that people maintain glowing, youthful skin varies across the globe. Based on the resources available in certain climates, skincare in different countries can include exotic spices and fruits or relaxing rituals. Dependent on varying standards of beauty, skincare regimens can target a specific desire.

Korea

Koreans are focused on taking extremely good care of their skin, believing that preventative skincare routines are best. Korea is also known for being the first to experiment with the latest skincare trends, which is why we aren’t surprised that they’re trying out collagen-producing silkworm cocoons.

Silkworm cocoons can be used to help exfoliate the skin. The silky material gently lifts away dead skin cells and removes makeup and soap residue, revealing soft, clean skin. The cocoons also carry a natural protein called sericin, which boosts the production of collagen.

Japan

Pamper yourself with an adzuki bean cleanser reminiscent of Japanese tradition. For centuries, Japanese noblewomen used the adzuki bean, a small red bean originally from China, as part of their beauty routines. They would pack the adzuki beans into small cotton bags to create a creamy, foam cleanser. With its naturally occurring foaming properties from saponin, adzuki beans are great for rejuvenating and brightening the skin.

India

India, known for its rich, aromatic cooking spices, uses those same spices in skincare as well. From saffron and kesar to turmeric and haldi, these spices possess antiseptic and antibacterial properties that will reduce inflammation, infection and redness. In addition, saffron has been used to help noticeably help brighten the skin, and turmeric reduces oil secretion from the sebaceous glands.
