Experts talked about how the girls of the land of the rising sun manage to maintain a pleasant fresh scent.
Japanese self-care secrets are always of interest to Europeans. It is not surprising, because we often hear: the best cosmetics, advanced technologies and the most effective beauty recipes are best from the Japanese. In addition, there is an opinion that the Japanese know a lot about beauty procedures, and we should all learn from them.
It is known that the inhabitants of the land of the rising sun value their own culture and observe the traditions of their ancestors. One of them is about smell. Yes, there is an unspoken law that says: any unpleasant smell emanating from a person is considered unacceptable and even defiant. It was the Japanese who gave the world the concept of “smell harassment” or “sume-hara”, which can be translated as “causing discomfort to others with their smell.” In the country, every store sells electronic devices that measure the intensity of the scent to make it easier for the Japanese to determine how serious the problem is.
Probably, the sensitivity of the Japanese is due to the fact that, according to statistics, they react to smells better than other peoples. In any situation, the body, clothes and shoes of the Japanese do not smell of absolutely anything, despite the fact that they practically do not sell perfumes and deodorants. Even in the heat!
We present 6 rules of Japanese women, allowing you to maintain a natural fresh scent without the use of auxiliary perfumes.
Correctly selected products
It’s no secret that food affects the aroma from the mouth. The Japanese have traced that meat dishes also contribute to the release of strong odors of sweat, so women try not to consume it or to minimize it. Meat products can be served as an additive in a recipe to highlight the flavor of the main ingredient, but not as a complete dish.
Fresh fruits and vegetables, red fish and seafood, sea plants and herbal tea are the staples of the diet of the inhabitants of this country. They also minimize the amount of dairy products in the diet.
Regular brushing of your teeth
While Europeans usually brush their teeth twice a day – in the morning and in the evening, Japanese women perform this procedure after every meal. This feature may seem strange to us, but most Asians always carry a toothbrush with them, even when they go to a bar. They must set aside a couple of minutes of time after eating to properly clean the teeth and gums. They even have a special method of brushing their teeth – hamigaki. For this in Japan, brushes are used much smaller and softer than ours. It is argued that this feature will minimize the risk of injury to the oral cavity.
Mouthwash
Coming home from the street, the Japanese not only wash their hands, but also rinse their mouth with a special refreshing agent. This ritual is also performed regularly: after a meal, before a date and a visit to the temple.
Moreover, most Japanese women consume various nutritional supplements throughout the day to help eliminate any bad breath.
Contrast shower and relaxing bath
Japanese women have a whole traditional bathing ritual that Europeans may find pointless and exhaustingly difficult. So, first, a woman washes in the shower, using gel, soap, shampoo, conditioner and other means. After that, she plunges into a bath, in the water of which salts and aromatic oils are already dissolved, and then takes a shower again. And once a week they visit the popular Japanese bath – “sento”.
Cosmetics
Japan is famous for the production of all kinds of cosmetic and care products for the face and body. All their classic foot deodorants applied through pantyhose, drying sprays with tannin, and creams that evaporate moisture from the skin perfectly fulfill their function, but at the same time they almost do not smell (except for freshness, of course).
The Japanese perfume is also not at all like our perfume. They prefer subtle fresh aromas. There is even perfume in capsules and tablets on the shelves of boutiques. After taking such a product, the aroma is released through the pores of the skin.
Certain fabrics
It is easy to see that Japanese women rarely wear revealing, revealing clothes. They can often be seen in superbly ironed long dresses with wide sleeves or classic pantsuits. This choice allows the skin to constantly oxygenate and avoid clogging of the pores.
