Much more than just layering beauty products, layering is a meticulous art, promising radiant skin and a porcelain complexion. Adopted for its hydrating, nourishing, and protective properties, this ritual, combining tradition and innovation, is now making its way into our bathrooms.
What is layering?
Layering is an ancient approach to skincare, beloved in both Japan and South Korea. Layering isn't just a beauty routine; it's a true art of living, a quest for harmony between mind and body, reflected in the skin's radiance.
At the heart of Japanese layering is Saho, a beauty ritual inspired by the tea ceremony, where each step is performed with respect and attention. Korean layering, on the other hand, is characterized by its quest for innovation and its playful, sensory approach to beauty. Although different, these two styles share a common philosophy: beauty emerges from patience, perseverance, and gentle skincare.
But why is layering winning the hearts of so many fans around the world? The answer lies in its incredible benefits. By methodically layering products, from the finest to the richest texture, layering allows the skin to get the most out of each treatment. This technique promotes maximum hydration, better absorption of active ingredients, and optimal protection against external aggressors. The result? Skin that's visibly healthier, more supple, and radiant with youth, day after day.
Layering is therefore not just a trend: it is an invitation to rediscover your skin, to cherish it and to care for it with love and intelligence.
What are the golden rules of the art of Saho?
The first fundamental rule of layering is to follow the routine thoroughly. Each step of this beauty ritual is important and serves a purpose in the quest for perfect skin. Skipping a step would be like painting a picture without preparing the canvas: the final result would undoubtedly be altered.
Respecting the correct order of product application is the second golden rule of layering. From double cleansing to moisturizer, each product prepares the skin for the next, thus optimizing its effectiveness. This sacred order is the secret to revealing your skin's full beauty.
Patience and consistency are the third golden rule of the art of Saho. Layering requires time and devotion: the skin of your dreams won't appear overnight. The secret to transformed, healthy-looking skin lies in the daily repetition of this ritual.
Finally, the last fundamental rule of layering is adapting products to your skin type and its specific issues. The Saho ritual isn't a one-size-fits-all recipe; it's a personalized path to beauty. Choosing the right products means choosing those that perfectly meet the unique needs of your skin. Whether your skin is oily, thirsty, tired, or in search of youth, there's a layering routine made for it.
The art of Saho teaches us that beauty is a ritual, a process where every gesture counts. By following these golden rules, radiant and timeless beauty awaits you.
What are the key steps in layering?
The layering ritual, a precious legacy of Asian cosmetic traditions, invites you to reveal the natural splendor of your face through a series of carefully orchestrated steps.
1 - Remove makeup with an oil-based product
Oil cleansing is the very first step in a layering routine. By dissolving impurities accumulated throughout the day and makeup, this phase prepares the skin to fully receive the benefits of the upcoming skincare. To gently begin your layering ritual, oil is the ideal choice. Its formula, rich in organic olive oil from Provence and composed of 100% natural ingredients, ensures gentle cleansing of the skin.
Continuing the ritual, the skin is cleansed with the utmost gentleness. This step removes the last traces of oil and deeply purifies without ever damaging your epidermis. Our Gentle Cleansing Foam awakens and prepares your skin, leaving it fresh and ready to absorb the following treatments.
