Why Your Skin Needs KOSÉ Junkisui?

Purification and detoxification might let us remember instantly about freeing our skin and our body from impurities and toxins by the use of natural ingredients, particularly Chinese herbs.

Skin cleansing and detoxification are just as essential as our daily diet because our skin is constantly and the first part of our body that is exposed to dirt, environmental toxins, and other pollutants, plus it regularly sheds off dead skin cells and releases sebum, and without proper cleansing, can block the pores and irritate the skin.

Detoxification, especially, which is also termed as Master Cleanse, or the process of eliminating toxins from our skin and our body, was developed by the Japanese and Chinese over 900 years ago. While it is popularly known today as a quick fix to reduce weight and cleanse our colon from toxins, traditionally, detoxification for the Japanese and Chinese women, especially the geishas, was found to be most helpful in keeping their skin acne- and blemish-free and young-looking.
