Pro-tip

If using a rinse-off mask (not a sheet mask), use The Essence prior to masking to amplify the benefits of their mask. After rinsing off the mask, reapply The Essence and continue with your skincare ritual.

Other details

One of the greatest lessons we’ve learned from classical Japanese beauty is that skin is a reflection of well-being. The people of Japan have long understood that what you put into your body affects how it looks and feels. That’s why the traditional diet is rooted in longevity-boosting Japanese ingredients like rice, green tea, and algae, superfoods credited with the country’s long lifespans. And because what’s good for the body is good for the skin, these same ingredients have been core to classical Japanese beauty rituals for centuries.

Usage

Use daily, after cleansing and before any other skincare products. Splash a palmful of The Essence into your hand, and press gently into the skin on your face and neck.
