With the arrival of a new year, the Japanese tradition of Osoji encourages a deep cleaning of the home as a symbol of renewal. But what if we take this concept further and apply it to skincare as well? At Onshindo Osaka, we are inspired by this philosophy to offer you a facial cleansing routine that refreshes and revitalises your skin, using essentials like Koubaiiro and Oshiroibana for a radiant complexion.
Osoji: The Art of Starting Anew
The word "Osoji" literally means "big cleaning." This ancient tradition aims not only to purify spaces but also to prepare the body and mind for new beginnings. Applied to facial care, Osoji embodies the importance of removing impurities, renewing the skin, and giving it a moment to breathe with a routine that combines effectiveness and sensory pleasure.
In Osoji-inspired facial care, two steps are essential: cleansing and exfoliation. These steps remove toxins, makeup residue, and dead skin cells, leaving the face fresh and ready to absorb the benefits of your skincare routine.
Step 1: Deep Cleansing with Koubaiiro
The first step to renewing your skin is to use an effective yet gentle facial cleanser. Koubaiiro, our cleansing lotion, softly removes makeup, impurities, and excess oil, leaving your skin fresh and balanced. Its lightweight formula is perfect for all skin types and prepares your face for the next steps of your routine.
Step 2: Renewing Exfoliation with Oshiroibana
The next step in this deep cleansing routine is exfoliation with Oshiroibana, our Japanese face scrub that combines gentle beads with natural ingredients to remove dead skin cells without causing irritation. This process not only improves skin texture but also enhances the effectiveness of other products, such as the Nadeshikoiro anti-ageing creams.
Exfoliation also stimulates cell renewal, helping to minimise fine lines and achieve a natural lifting effect on your face. Perform this exfoliation once or twice a week to keep your skin smooth, radiant, and ready for celebrations.
Complete Your Ritual with Hydration and Treatment
Once you’ve cleansed and scrubbed your face, it’s time to hydrate and nourish your skin. Complete your routine with products such as:
- Sawayaka moisturising cream: Perfect for maintaining hydration for 24 hours, leaving your skin balanced and radiant.
- Nadeshikoiro Serum: Formulated with SkinarchTM, it helps to firm the skin and improve its texture, reducing signs of ageing.
- Uminoiro Face Mask: Ideal for deeply hydrating and providing a lifting effect before a special event.
The Benefits of Incorporating Osoji into Your Facial Routine
Adopting the concept of Osoji in your skincare routine transforms not only your skin but also your mindset. By cleansing deeply and renewing, you gift yourself a moment of self-care and wellbeing. Furthermore, using products inspired by Japanese skincare, such as those from Onshindo Osaka, ensures visible results and an unparalleled sensory experience.
