This simple Japanese cleansing method is the secret to clean, healthy skin at home.
The oil phase, the first phase of the 4-2-4, is really using the homeopathic concept of like attracts like. By massaging with the oil, you are improving circulation, you are bringing blood flow to the surface, but as you're massaging, you're also softening that top layer of the tissue and helping to remove debris and loosen any clogged pores.
So if you just choose a face oil, like a jojoba oil, after 4 minutes it's absorbed into your skin. So with our blend, we added castor-seed oil, and castor oil has been used for centuries as a holistic treatment to move stagnation. It is an ingredient that is very warming and helps to draw toxins out of the skin and really key to the oil working. There's also arnica in there, which helps break up congestion. I find that a of lot skin issues are derived from poor circulation.
The rinsing phase is a very, very important step. So you start with warm water for two minutes and then you finish with cold. The warm water is what will help to rinse the excess oil from the skin, but also is going to really bring the blood flow to the surface. It's going to open up those channels, the blood is going to be flowing, and warmth is in and of itself a form of healing. You really need warmth to create that movement so that we can initiate those detoxification processes.
So when you're done, you're face is going to be really flushed like you just got out of the sauna or you went on a long run, but your skin is going to be so plump and really hydrated. It's going to feel amazing, and I find that virtually any skin issue that you are dealing with really benefits from this method because you're supporting your skin's natural ability to heal itself. So if someone is dealing with really dry skin, this is going to correct dryness.
