SEASONAL RITUALS

Sensitive skin in spring: how to adapt your skincare routine?

Spring awakens the skin – and shakes it up all at once. First warm rays, sudden coolness, pollen-laden winds, increasing humidity... the skin is looking for its rhythm.

In spring, skin becomes more reactive:

  • redness, irritation, or swelling, linked to pollen and airborne particles
  • a strong sensation of oilier and, at the same time, dehydrated skin, oscillating between excess sebum and lack of water, with temperature variations
  • increased sensitivity to the first rays of the sun: redness, hot flashes, or hyperpigmentation

Simple but essential steps can help your skin transition smoothly:

  • soothe it without aggression through appropriate cleansing
  • strengthen the skin barrier by maintaining deep hydration
  • regain lasting comfort with lighter yet effective textures
  • gently eliminate excess sebum responsible for shine and discomfort

Here is the 4-step BIZEN ritual to help your skin better withstand the turbulence of spring.

1 • Cleanse gently

The Rice Ferment Cleansing Balm

BIZEN cleansing balm is a treatment that transforms on contact with the skin: initially solid, it melts into
an oil, then emulsifies with lukewarm water into a milky texture. It dissolves makeup, even
waterproof, while deeply cleansing the skin without irritating it.
Unlike micellar waters or cleansers applied with a cotton pad, which require repeated rubbing to remove impurities, the balm is used with the hands and limits friction on the skin.

It is formulated with sunflower and beeswax to melt delicately at body temperature.
Its texture slightly thickens during massage, promoting better adhesion to the skin
while reducing friction, thanks to tri(caprylic/capric/myristic/stearic) glyceride.
Rice bran phytosterols help soothe inflammation and enhance skin comfort.
Fragrance-free, dermatologically tested, it is suitable for sensitive skin.

2 • Maintain deep hydration and strengthen the skin barrier

The Rice Ferment Moisturizing Lotion

BIZEN moisturizing lotion is a key step in the ritual: it deeply hydrates while helping the skin to retain water
in the stratum corneum and better absorb subsequent treatments.
Often called "the water path" in Japan, it acts as a bridging product: it not only moisturizes, but also
improves the effectiveness of the entire routine.
Unlike water-based toners, which primarily hydrate the surface, or the absence of this step in some routines,
the lotion provides active and long-lasting hydration.
Formulated with 57% rice ferment, it replaces water with a direct supply of postbiotics. Fermentation
transforms rice proteins into bioavailable amino acids, recognized as natural moisturizing factors capable of
capturing and retaining water in the skin.

3 • Protect without weighing down

Rediscover lasting comfort with lighter yet effective textures.

Rice Ferment Moisturizing Cream

Bizen moisturizing cream seals in moisture and strengthens the skin barrier, with a light, non-greasy texture.
Coming out of winter, you might be using a richer, sometimes too heavy cream, which can leave an occlusive film or no longer be suitable for the season.
BIZEN Rice Ferment Moisturizing Cream seals in moisture and strengthens the skin barrier with a light, non-greasy texture.
Formulated with 38% rice ferment, it provides amino acids—natural moisturizing factors—and thus helps the skin maintain its balance.

4 • Gently purify

Gently eliminate excess sebum responsible for shine and discomfort.

The Moisturizing Rice Ferment Soap

Bizen soap cleanses the skin without drying it out, thanks to a generous and soft rice foam.
Used in the morning, it eliminates excess sebum while preserving skin hydration.
You may experience tightness after rinsing, or uncomfortable skin after using
your usual cleanser.
Unlike classic foaming cleansers that can alter the hydrolipidic film, Bizen soap
provides effective cleansing without unbalancing the skin.
It contains 9% rice ferment, rich in 16 free amino acids and ceramides, naturally present
in the skin.
These elements contribute to maintaining hydration and supporting the skin barrier.
Formulated from whole grain rice, it also provides fiber and vitamins, helping to nourish the skin while
cleansing it.
The skin is clean, comfortable, with no feeling of tightness.
