As Maya Angelou once said, “When women take care of their health, they become their own best friend”. Skin health is no different from health in general.

A typical Japanese skincare routine for a more supple complexion looks like this:

Start by double cleansing your skin, first with an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup and impurities, and then with a gentle foam cleanser to eliminate any residue.
Next, use kesho-sui, a watery facial lotion that is popular among Japanese women and does not contain alcohol. Kesho-sui helps to retain your skin’s moisture and prepare your skin to absorb moisturiser.
Follow with your moisturiser and SPF.

 

To attain “mochi hada” or “mochi” skin, complement your skincare routine with Suntory Milcolla, a bestselling beauty collagen supplement from Japan that has sold over 3.5 million boxes in both Japan and Taiwan combined and is now available in Singapore.

“We wanted to address beauty concerns that increase with age. We thought long and hard about what we could do for our customers and created Suntory Milcolla,” says Suntory Wellness researcher Wakana Taguchi (pictured above).

Taking a supplement aligns with the J-beauty philosophy of nourishing skin from within, and is an easy, essential daily step to both build and maintain smooth, bouncy, bright and moisturised skin.

Suntory Milcolla collagen powder comes in a box of 30 sachets and has a subtle milk flavour that mixes easily with your favourite beverages (including coffee), soups, and desserts. Low in calories and easy to carry around, each sachet contains 24.9 kcal. The recommended amount is one sachet a day.

Infused with vitamin C, Suntory Milcolla helps to firm, moisturise, and brighten skin with ceramide, elastin, proteoglycan, and collagen.

The hard-working supplement’s beautifying power is attributed to the PO OG collagen dipeptides in Intensive Lifting Collagen, which stimulate collagen and elastin production, and is easily absorbed by the body.

Proteoglycan nourishes the dermis or middle layer of skin, where collagen is found, and ceramide nourishes the epidermis or outermost layer of skin. Although both compounds retain moisture and combat dry, dull, and rough skin, proteoglycan retains water better than hyaluronic acid, one of the most commonly used ingredients in moisturisers.

In her research, Wakana observed that the quality of the collagen absorbed by the skin was more important than its size or amount.

“As an ingredient, collagen continues to attract customers who wish to become more beautiful,” she says. “Instead of its amount or size, we paid attention to the quality of PO and OG collagen.” The latter refer to the collagen dipeptides prolyl-hydroxyproline (PO) and hydroxyprolyl-glycine (OG).

“Through rigorous research, we are happy to present customers with the highest concentration of collagen in Suntory Wellness' history.”

The best part is that you may even begin to notice the difference in your skin after four to eight weeks^#.

With this collagen supplement, your skincare routine gets a much-needed boost.
