Shot of Japanese Beautyberry.

People in Japan have long believed that a true healthy glow comes from deep within.

They often turned to nutrient-rich ingredients from the kitchen to nurture their bodies and complexions. Japanese plum (nanko ume), known as the queen of plums, was once used in at-home beauty rituals to help brighten skin, creating an inner glow referred to as kagayaki.

How to Treat Dehydrated Skin

Dry skin is different from dehydrated skin. Dry skin is a skin type, while dehydrated skin is a skin condition that can occur in anyone and is based on a variety of factors. Sources of dehydrated skin include UV exposure, daily habits (like stress, lack of sleep, and other lifestyle choices), and, of course, a chronic lack of hydrating skincare products. Caring for dehydrated skin takes consistency, in both personal wellness and skincare products. Reach for products that soothe, calm, and hydrate. And wear sunscreen daily to fight UV damage.
