The beginning of a new year offers a unique opportunity to reset, set meaningful goals, and invite positive energy into your life. In Japan, Ganjitsu, or New Year’s Day, is a cherished celebration rich in symbolism and tradition, marking the start of a cycle filled with hope and possibility. At Onshindo Osaka, we’re inspired by this tradition to help you begin the year as your best self—with a skincare ritual that embodies renewal and balance.
Ganjitsu: A New Beginning Full of Meaning
Ganjitsu is more than just turning the calendar page. In Japan, it represents a time to cleanse the past and prepare the body, mind, and home for the future. Key traditions include Osoji, a deep home cleansing ritual, the display of symbolic decorations that invite good fortune such as Kadomatsu and Shimenawa, and the sharing of Osechi Ryori, a beautifully curated selection of dishes to bring prosperity.
This holistic renewal can be seamlessly extended to your self-care. Just as Japanese homes are prepared for the year ahead, your skin deserves the same care and attention. A refreshed skincare routine can help you revitalise and energise for the months to come.
Skincare Routine to Start the Year Looking Your Best
Ganjitsu embodies renewal, and Onshindo Osaka brings this tradition to skincare, helping you refresh and revitalise your face with these essential steps:
- Deep Cleansing with Koubaiiro: Every renewal begins with cleansing. Use our Koubaiiro Cleansing Lotion to gently remove impurities, excess oil, and makeup residue gently, leaving your skin balanced and refreshed.
- Exfoliation with Oshiroibana: In the spirit of Osoji’s thorough cleaning, our Oshiroibana Face Scrub is perfect for removing dead skin cells and improving your skin’s texture. Exfoliate once or twice a week to achieve a rejuvenating effect and a natural glow.
- Rejuvenation with Nadeshikoiro Serum: Enhance your skin’s firmness and radiance with our Nadeshikoiro Anti-Ageing Serum. Formulated with Skinarch™, it combats signs of ageing and improves skin texture, leaving it smooth and luminous.
- Brighten Your Eyes: Hydrate and revitalise your eye area with the Nadeshikoiro Eye Force Cream, which diminishes dark circles and softens fine lines, helping you look refreshed and radiant the year ahead.
- Nourishment with the Nadeshikoiro creams: Tailored for all skin types, these creams provide hydration, protection, and rejuvenation to keep your skin radiant and balanced from morning to night.
Start the Year as Your Best Self
Ganjitsu encourages reflection and reconnection with oneself. Let your skincare routine become a relaxing ritual—a moment to recharge and align with your goals. Your skin, like your spirit, deserves to start the year with care and intention.
