Every day many women search the internet for the secrets of Japanese skin care.
Yes its true. The word Japanese skin care is very popular and searched regularly on the internet every day. And if you didn't know why then you may be a little mystified about why so many women search this word.
Women don't search "Russian skin care" or "Icelandic skin care" do they?
So what is it about Japanese skin care that generates such interest?
It is not so well known but Japanese women have stunningly good skin right into old age. They have less wrinkles and their skin just looks great.
Why? What is it about Japan that seems to result in Japanese women having such good skin?
Of course the Japanese have a good diet. They eat plenty of fish, which provides omega 3 oils, known to be good for your skin, they eat plenty of vegetables and rice and overall their diet is very healthy.
And as we have said here before, a good healthy diet is a great foundation for good skin, as healthy skin is found on a healthy body.
But is there more than just the Japanese diet to account for the great skin that seems so common to Japanese women? After all, there's plenty of other countries where the people have great diets.
Yes there is another factor, and its only relatively recently that science has discovered one specific reason why Japanese women have such good skin. Its related to one specific area of the Japanese diet.
What has been discovered is that there is a seaweed that is a big part of the Japanese diet that has all sorts of properties that contribute to healthy great looking skin. Its a seaweed called Phytessence Wakame.
And the Japanese have eaten Phytessence Wakame for centuries, both fresh and dried. You've probably heard about how the Japanese eat seaweed, well this is it.
So is there something about Phytessence Wakame that is good for the skin?
Phytessence Wakame is packed with such ingredients as calcium (15 times more than milk), a whole stack of minerals like sodium, iron, potassium, and a lot of the B group vitamins. It has antioxidants too, all important to the skin. And all of these are highly beneficial to the skin.
But that's not all, that doesn't explain exactly why Phytessence Wakame is so good for the skin. There's something more.
There's an acid in the skin called hyaluronic acid that is essential for maintaining great skin health, specifically skin suppleness and elasticity, both crucial for great looking skin. Suppleness and elasticity, or the loss of them, is a disaster for your skin.
And there is also an enzyme in the skin called hyaluronidase, which breaks down hyaluronic acid. So Hyaluronidase is reducing the effects of that good acid.
And some very smart scientists have worked out that Phytessence Wakame helps inhibit the effects of hyaluronidase. This is extremely good news for your skin.
There you have the secret of great Japanese skin care.
Some very canny scientists at one small cutting edge company have managed to isolate these ingredients and put them into a skin care line with impressive results.
Results like Japanese women get from eating Phytessence Wakame.
Now of course if you could find the right type of seaweed and eat lots of it you'd probably be able to get the same effects. But really, who wants to eat seaweed (apart from the Japanese)?
So there, in a nutshell, you have the secret of Japanese skin care.
