In order not to spend a lot of money on drinks and creams that can stop the clock, it is easier to adopt something from Japanese women!

They are known for their beautiful facial skin, which makes it difficult to determine their age. The secret is in routine, healthy diet, and habits.

1. Drink green tea

If you think that good facial care means only applying a cream regularly, you are wrong. A lot depends on what you drink and eat. Green tea soothes and can reduce the risk of developing cancer, and when it comes to skincare, it prevents the appearance of wrinkles and protects the skin from damage that can be caused by UV rays. Drinking a cup of green tea every day also helps with weight loss, so it also contributes to a youthful appearance.

2. Seaweed

Seaweed is a friend of the skin and is very common in the Japanese diet. It is rich in vitamins and minerals (calcium, magnesium, vitamin K, iron, folate). It also contains certain anti-inflammatory components that reduce swelling and redness, and iodine helps regulate metabolism.

3. Massage

Massage works wonders: Regular massages are great for the body because they stimulate circulation and relax overstretched muscles. The face is not exempt from that. You can also massage it yourself, by first investing in a good facial massager, with polygonal rollers. It will pay off many times over. Use it daily, while watching TV or reading. This will speed up the circulation, which will refresh the skin and restore its healthy glow. As the face has more than 40 muscles that, if tense, promote the formation of wrinkles, with the help of massage you will relax them, get rid of stress and tension that disrupt the beautiful appearance of the skin.

4. Use mild cleaners

Women in Japan trust natural products more than industrial ones. They know how harmful chemicals are, just like excessive face washing. We are obsessed with removing traces of oil from the skin, forgetting that they provide hydration. So take a product that consists of only a few natural ingredients. Wash your face only once a day, before bed.

5. Collagen

Don't forget collagen: Japanese women use creams and masks rich in collagen, and their diet is based on bone broth or spirulina (a type of algae), which are rich in this most important protein in the human body, responsible for keeping the skin taut and young. Smoking, sun exposure, and poor nutrition drain collagen stores, therefore it is clear that over the years it takes more effort to have enough of it.

6. Take a Break

Sometimes it is necessary to rest your face from cosmetic products because too much cream can affect the elasticity of the skin. Whenever possible, let the skin breathe, at least 24 hours a week (continuously). In the meantime, spare it the makeup and lotion, to trigger its natural defense mechanisms.
