How much time do you spend on your daily skincare routine? Between work, house chores, and that never-ending to-do list, it’s easy to push self-care to the bottom of your priorities. August 15th is National Relaxation Day—a perfect opportunity to slow down, even just a little, and take some time to pamper yourself. At Seiso, we believe that a little self-care can bring about big changes to your mind and skin. Even just a few minutes a day is enough. The gentle touch of your hands on your skin will bring a quiet sense of healing to your daily life.

Less is More

Seiso is a skincare brand that values Japan’s philosophy of “Less is more.” Even without relying on numerous products or harsh ingredients, skin has the natural ability to restore its beauty. That’s why we pursue simple, pure, and gentle formulations. This is quiet yet powerful skincare protects your skin from daily stress and supports its health.

The Skin-Stress Connection

Have you ever noticed your skin breaking out, becoming irritated, or turning sensitive during times of stress, sleeplessness, or anxiety? When you see redness, dryness, or unexpected flare-ups, it’s often more than just a skin issue—it may be your body’s way of asking you to slow down. At times like these, gentle skincare that cares for your skin is essential. Seiso’s 4-step routine doesn’t force your skin to change; instead, it supports your skin in regaining its natural strength. Gentle cleansing foam, nourishing serum and lotion, and moisturizing cream—all of these products deliver a moment of calm to your skin and mind.

When stress continues, the skin's barrier function declines and the repair cycle slows down. So, Relaxation Day is a chance to let go of some of the burden on your mind and skin. Try listening to your favorite music and taking a little more time than usual to care for your skin. Just by doing that, you will feel your skin condition improve and your mind soften. We hope that your daily skincare routine will become a time of reset for you.
