Gently place your hand on yourself. Feel your face with your palm, your fingertips, with the entire skin of your hand.
You are at the heart of the "Hand Press," a Japanese ritual in which the hand becomes the ultimate beauty tool. Japan, a culture of doing and gesture, invests the hand with precious powers.
The benefits of Hand Press: a skin-to-skin dialogue
Explore the face. Activate circulation. Revive the complexion. Reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Improve active ingredient penetration. Without irritation, without cotton, skin-to-skin. Sequence.
Step-by-step gestures for practicing the Japanese ritual
Preheat the product between your palms so that it penetrates more easily.
Apply the product to the skin by gently pressing, in the following order: cheeks, forehead and chin, eyelids, under the eye, bridge of the nose, facial contour and neck.
Maintain pressure for ten seconds on each area. Use your fingertips for sensitive areas.
Release slowly so as not to irritate the skin. The pressure is not forced but gentle, a caressing dialogue between the hand and the epidermis.
Remember: "taking the time to be yourself is your most precious beauty secret."
