Every name carries a story, and Emiko is no exception. Derived from Japanese origins, Emi translates to "beautiful" or "blessed," reflecting our belief that every individual possesses inherent beauty waiting to be celebrated.
Here are the basic steps to healthy looking skin using Japanese inspired, organic EMIKO SKINCARE:
- Cleansing: Japanese skincare often begins with a single cleanse in the morning and a double cleanse in the evening. This is a crucial step to remove makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum.
- Toning Essences: Japanese skincare emphasises hydration. After cleansing, applying a hydrating ‘essence’ is an important step to balance the skin's pH and prepare it to absorb the subsequent products.
- Antioxidant Serums: These target specific skin concerns. Japanese products as in EMIKO Skincare, focus on ingredients like green tea extract, seaweed, vitamin C and E to stimulate the skin’s collagen production, as well as help protect the skin from free radical damage, which can accelerate the aging process.
- Moisturising:. Well-hydrated skin often appears plumper and smoother, helping to minimise the appearance of fine lines. Japanese moisturisers are typically lightweight and non-greasy, suitable for layering & in EMIKO products key ingredients include hyaluronic acid & 24K Gold.
- Sun Protection: In the morning, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF will protect your skin from UV damage. Sun protection is a crucial step in Japanese skincare.
- Night Protection: At night, specific ingredients are chosen to nourish the skin while you sleep.
- Eye Protection: As the skin is thinner around the eye, specific concerns such as puffiness, darkness or fine lines can be addressed with a separate eye product.
- Exfoliation using Weekly Masks: Japanese skincare includes weekly masks to provide additional hydration and to address specific skin concerns. Exfoliating products can help remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover, which can improve skin texture and the appearance of fine lines.
