Whether you are already using the Kosho Matcha Effective Cosmetics, or just thinking about it: follow these steps of the KOSHO skincare ritual, in order to get the best results...
Step 1: Energise & Rejuvenate
The Swiss-made, vegan-friendly KOSHO Matcha Effective Cosmetics are based on a unique extract of organic, Matcha tea with highest levels of antioxidants for powerful, plant-based skin-rejuvenation. The KOSHO skincare ritual is in fact also best begun by drinking a cup of calming, yet energising KOSHO Byuti Organic Matcha Tea. Not only does Matcha boast the highest levels of antioxidants from any superfoods for many proven health benefits including increased energy and immunity, but of course also assists cell- and skin-rejuvenation from the inside out. Matcha tea is best drunk in the mornings after food, but can also be your 3pm pick-me-up without the caffeine jitters. Learn how to prepare the perfect Matcha tea.
Step 2: Gently Cleanse Skin
In the mornings and evenings, moisten the face with water and apply KOSHO Creamy Cleansing foaming cleanser. Gently massage, before rinsing with lukewarm water and patting skin dry with a clean towel.
Plant-based surfactants free skin from daily impurities and excess sebum, making it feel pleasantly refreshed and clean, without drying out. Extracts of rosemary and poplar buds regulate sebum production to balance skin for a clear and fresh complexion. The exclusive organic matcha extract protects skin against harmful environmental influences.
Step 3: Hydrate & Prep
Before applying the skin-smoothing and -plumping "hero" of the KOSHO skincare ritual – the KOSHO Full Hydration Serum – spritz on a fine layer of the KOSHO Smart Matcha Face Spray. Not only does this beautiful facial mist refresh the senses and boost hydration of the skin, but will also give you the best results with your following skincare products. The reason being that the Full Hydration Serum contains four types of hyaluronic acid for ultimate skin-plumping – however products containing hyaluronic acid are best applied to slightly damp skin and must always be followed up with a moisturiser! Learn more about why to use a facial mist.
Step 4: Smoothen, Plumpen & Brighten
Next, apply the "anti-ageing booster" of the KOSHO range: KOSHO Full Hydration Serum. Apply the serum evenly to the face, neck and cleavage, and gently massage into the skin until absorbed. Repeat morning and evening.
With its unique combination of four types of hyaluronic acid and unique organic matcha extract, KOSHO Full Hydration Serum provides long-lasting moisture, extending into the deeper layers of the skin. The natural barrier function of the skin is restored by extracts from wheat germ and yeast, protecting it against moisture loss. Valuable plant extracts tighten facial features and provide a fresh and even complexion. The organic matcha extract protects the skin from harmful environmental influences.
Step 5: Lift & Brighten Eyes
If you are wanting to target lines, puffiness or dark shadows around the eyes, your next step is KOSHO Eye Lifting Serum twice daily. Gently tap the serum into the skin using the ring finger, while using as little pressure as possible. TIP: can also be used for targeting (glabellar) frown lines (between the eyes).
Plant extracts from red algae, paracress, and of course the unique, organic matcha extract lift the eye area for a fresher look, as well as:
– reducing muscle tension & firming the eye area
– inhibiting the formation of new, fine lines
– providing the skin with important antioxidants to protect against cell damage.
Precious tsubaki oil from the Japanese camellia is rich in omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids and nourishes the delicate eye area.
Step 6 (Day):
Moisturise & Protect
In the mornings apply KOSHO Smart Protection Cream with the truly natural UV-protection of Ectoin Extract equivalent to approx. SPF15. While you should (re-)apply sun protection to the face, neck, and cleavage if you are headed outdoors for longer periods, the Smart Protection Cream is a beautifully light, nourishing, yet residue-free day cream to ensure you are protecting your skin from UV-damage on the daily.
Japanese Crocus Extract activates the production of collagen and elastin to mitigate wrinkles and rejuvenates the skin structure. Radish Seed Oil helps strengthen the skin barrier and protect against trans-epidermal-water-loss (TEWL). While the unique matcha extract protects against free radicals and ageing.
Q: Do I still need to apply sunblock over top of Kosho Smart Protection Cream during the day?
Of course protection from UV-exposure is essential in the Southern Hemisphere, and your best protection against future skin-damage and -ageing. KOSHO cosmetics do not use classic (chemical or mineral) sun protection filters, but instead, a natural substance that is formed by bacteria in nature. This protects the skin with a different active principle than conventional filters. Therefore the natural sun protection of KOSHO cannot be labelled with the usual sun protection factor (SPF). However its protection suffices for regular daily activity. Should you be spending more than 20 minutes outdoors, we would recommend a stronger SPF be applied over top.
Step 6 (Night):
Regenerate Skin
In the evenings, KOSHO Deep Regeneration Cream concludes your KOSHO skincare ritual. Apply liberally to the face, neck, and cleavage.
Thanks to its exclusive organic matcha extract, Japanese crocus and precious oils, it activates the skin’s own repair system and provides intensive moisture. It visibly reduces wrinkles and improves the skin’s ability to absorb and store moisture. Working against the signs of ageing, it regenerates the skin deeply and gives it new vigour and energy. Japanese crocus activates the production of collagen and elastin through cellular communication, increasing the strength and elasticity of the skin. The skin looks younger, brighter and softer.
