During the night our skin develops healthy oils and nutrients that should be kept on our skin throughout the day unless we are exposed to extensive solution or dirt. Therefore we recommend that facial skin should be cleansed at least once in the evening before going to sleep. While in the morning we will wash our face with water and possibly use a toner before applying additional products. Never apply any cream or product on uncleansed skin.  This may cause more damage than benefit by blocking the pores with dirt, oil, and contaminants which may create bacteria or inflammation. Therefore, thorough cleansing with the right product is vital and even crucial to skin’s health.

A protective oily layer is naturally secreted on the skin surface to prevent penetration of damaging and contaminating particles. By cleansing, we first remove and neutralize those particles, and then gently remove that oily layer as well, to allow passage of healthy actives into the depth of the skin so the treatment is most effective.

It is highly important that you use a cleanser most adaptive to your skin type. For instance, ordinary body soap is very acidic and may be too aggressive for delicate facial skin, as it is designed to cleanse the thicker skin of the body. Using it to cleanse facial skin may cause dryness, irritation and even create a negative reaction with any products applied to the skin following cleansing.

There are two different Onsen cleansers for optimal treatment of different skin types:

1.Milk Lotion Cleanser for dry to normal skin - Skin with a very thin protective oily layer tends to get extra dry and irritated. Onsen Milk Lotion Cleanser gently cleanses while providing moisture and repairing tissue.

2.Aloe Gel Cleanser for oily to combination skin - Skin with a thicker natural oily protective layer tends to develop infections and inflammations. Onsen Aloe Gel Cleanser removes oils and contaminants while preventing and treating infections, refreshing and renewing skin cells.

*** It is important to understand that our ‘skin type’ or more accurately our skin’s ‘needs’ may change dynamically as these are affected by external factors beyond our biological structure. These factors include hormonal levels, living environment, nutrition, eating habits, and climate, etc. Being aware of ourselves and our environment will contribute to the overall positive well- being of our skin.

Exfoliation

The outer skin layer is comprised of dead cells that are no longer nurtured by capillaries. In order to accelerate skin cell renewal, this layer has to be buffed frequently by exfoliation to reveal a newer fresher layer. Each time a layer is removed, a new one is created in the inner layers of the dermis. This new layer will reach the surface by the time a skin cycle is complete. Exfoliation also evens the skin surface where dirt, oil and contaminants hide within the pores. To prevent these pores from forming blackheads and house harmful bacteria, a deep and restorative cleansing is needed.

Progressive Exfoliation Rejuvenation gentle to the skin, effective yet safe.

Unlike particle peeling which may break capillaries and leave permanent marks and scars, Onsen Purifying Facial Peel provides deep yet gentle exfoliation that activates and supports the natural biological renewal mechanism in the skin. It does not contain chemicals that force skin into an unnatural peeling process which creates an unnecessary dependency on the product. The precise balance between the actives agents and our natural skin action is the core philosophy behind the formula.

The Purifying Facial Peel sticks to dead cells and dirt particles and thoroughly removes them to reveal a new clean, matte skin layer. ONSEN Micro Water Complex unique formula makes the use of this product a unique and exhilarating experience…. After applying a layer of the peel on the skin, you can feel the action as the formula dissolves into the skin and breaks down to its different beneficial actives – those that penetrate the skin to work intensely within the innermost layers and those that are removed along with dead cells and toxins, becoming a light solution on the skin surface which is easily removed with gentle finger movements or rinsing.
