Healthy luminous skin comes in two parts.
First is a good skin care routine, second is internal.

When you take the time to de-stress, it will show on the outside!

For centuries, the Japanese have relaxed in mineral-rich onsen (natural hot springs) which are renowned for their skin restoring capabilities. These benefits were previously limited to Japan. Until now!

GENSEN’s core ingredient is onsen water from Miyazaki in Southern Japan. What is special about this particular onsen water is that it’s rich in iodine which has healing properties. It can soothe irritated skin, smooth fine lines and enhance skin regeneration. Now that your skin is taken care of by GENSEN’s repair serum and revitalising moisturiser, let’s get to the relaxing part!


5 steps to rest, relax and de-stress

#1 Light some candles

Getting the right atmosphere is the first step. A softly lit room will give your eyes some rest from staring at bright screens all day.


#2 Take a bath

The heat will relieve tension in tired muscles. Try adding a handful of epsom salts, half a cup of baking soda and some lavender oil (how much comes down to personal preference). This combination will draw out toxins, lower stress-related hormones and re-balance your PH levels.


#3 Pamper yourself

Use those luxurious lotions that you have been saving. Maybe try a face and/or hair mask. Or take the time to give yourself a mani/pedi.


#4 Drink green tea

Green tea contains theanine- an amino acid that promote relaxation. Green tea is full of antioxidants which protect your cells from damage from free radicals (which plays a major role in aging). It also improves blood circulation and lowers cholesterol.


#5 And finally take a moment and appreciate the simple things in your life and your what you have achieved thus far. Because you are strong and beautiful, both inside and out!
