All I’ve ever wanted is the kind of skin that looks so luminous and clear, it doesn’t require foundation. This new Japanese skin care line, Seiso JBeauty, is all that and more

Being a parent to young children is likely the driving force behind my focus on minimalism, in all aspects of life, but definitely why I’ve focused on minimalism in beauty. I simply don’t have time for more than a few steps, but when I use the Seiso products, I feel like I’m treating myself to a luxurious skincare experience.

If your skin is in need of plumping and hydration, this collection works to replenish ceramides, fatty acids and cholesterol in the skin.

A few drops of this silky potion morning and night on your face — make sure it’s damp — replenishes essential moisture, reduces inflammation, and helps protect against environmental aggressors.

I was immediately intrigued by the Seiso JBeauty four-step collection for its beautiful, luxe-looking packaging. But after using it for a few weeks, I can honestly say it’s been the best decision I’ve made for my skin.

There’s a reason ceramides are having a moment in skincare circles right now; the naturally occurring lipids help hydrate, calm and protect skin. The Fuwafuwa Foaming Cleanser ($38) is my favorite step in the process — it’s a light and gentle wash that swipes away my makeup, with a citrus-and-mint scent that calls to mind a mojito.
