We perform various rituals throughout our daily lives, many of them without even realising it. One of them is our daily skincare routine in which we diligently apply our products to keep our complexions healthy. One brand that values both consistency and flawless skin is SENSAI, which is evident in how it recommends its items are used.
Twice as Nice
In Japan, there is an art and etiquette surrounding tea ceremonies. This code is known as Saho. SENSAI has created a skincare ritual inspired by this concept. It requires that you perform and apply products twice by double cleansing and double moisturising. How you apply them matters too, with double application making up the third aspect of this beneficial trinity. This is, according to SENSAI, the best way to get the desired result of flawless, silky skin.

SENSAI Saho: How it Works
The Saho skincare ritual can be broken down into four steps.
Step 1 First wash your face using an oil cleanser. This will remove all traces of make-up, sunscreen and dirt from your skin.
Step 2 Purify your skin and remove any film or remaining traces of oil cleanser by using a gel wash afterwards.
-Step 3 Apply a hydrating product, such as a lotion or essence. This adds moisture and also helps other products to be more effective.
Step 4 Use an emulsion or moisturiser to seal in your products and nourish and protect your skin.

Master the Method
It’s not just about the products you use, but how you use them too. The SENSAI Saho ritual incorporates facial massage techniques that also aid in a healthy complexion. This improves absorbtion while simultaneously promoting blood flow and circulation.
Step 1 Massage around your cheeks, eyes, forehead and down to your mouth, repeating several times.
Step 2 Now massage from your nose up your forehead and down to your neck, repeating several times.
Step 3 In five different places between your chin and forehead, firmly press the skin for a few seconds.
