Reviews
There are probably no women who have not heard about the amazing and miraculous Japanese cosmetics, but not many have tried it. Reviews and comments from a cosmetologist will help you understand how good Japanese cosmetics are for the skin.
Ksenia, 26 years old
The brands of Japanese cosmetics can be listed endlessly, but fabric face masks have always been in first place for me. I especially love morning masks with menthol, which should be used before applying cosmetics. The mask does not dry out the skin, but perfectly prepares it for the coming day. I also had time to try out a mask for treating acne – which, by the way, is also extremely effective. In general, there are a great variety of masks in stock; you can try different ones every day. There are so many creamy treatments that I use some of them two days in a row.
Cosmetologist: The best Japanese and Korean facial cosmetics are designed to preserve youth for a long time, which is why they have so many products for moisturizing and whitening. And it really works - mothers and daughters look exactly the same. A reusable silicone mask will help to further enhance the effect. It is applied over a fabric mask, fits tightly to the face and prevents the mask from evaporating and drying out.
Natalya, 44 years old
After a trip to the sea, I decided to take my hair seriously. And of all the skincare products, I chose the Japanese professional brand Lebel. I used shampoos and conditioners every day to give my hair, exhausted by coloring and exposure to the sun, a chance to recover quickly. At this time I did not use any styling products at all, nor did I use a flat iron or curling iron. The hair became smooth, silky and less frizzy. But I didn’t see any supernatural effect.
Cosmetologist: Japanese women have always been famous not only for their perfect skin, but also for their gorgeous hair, but the structure of the hair itself is somewhat different. Nevertheless, hair cosmetics are adapted for European women; they are aimed specifically at treating the scalp, as they say, at the “root” of the problem. It may take some time for the bulbs to live out and recover, and then the hair will look healthier.
Milana, 20 years old
The Japanese produce excellent children's cosmetics for girls. Funny packaging with anime characters, however, is very high quality. And decorative products are just like candy – cute, pink and unusually fragrant. I admit, I often use them myself.
Cosmetologist: Beautiful sets are created for girls - chests of drawers for cosmetics. A sort of pink cabinet with lots of compartments and stickers. From childhood, girls are taught not only to wear makeup and put on makeup, but also to take care of their skin from an early age.
Irina, 35 years old.
I was never particularly interested in new products and used familiar and reliable Belarusian cosmetics. But for my birthday I received a set of Japanese placental cosmetics as a gift and was simply amazed by the effect of the drugs. The masks made my face silky, fine wrinkles seemed to be smoothed out and filled in, becoming less noticeable. But I was especially struck by the serum with hyaluronic acid - it’s so gentle, you can’t even feel it with your finger, it is instantly absorbed and moisturizes the skin.
Cosmetologist: Among the leading manufacturers, the luxury Japanese cosmetics brand Kose stands out. Creams, serums and emulsions are packaged in beautiful boxes that look like some kind of space objects, and are useful not only for the body, but also for the soul. BB creams from this brand have already received recognition and the highest praise from European women. Japanese cosmetics are intended not only for the face; there are lines of anti-cellulite shower gels, scrubs and massage creams.
