From Skincare Ritual to Beauty Ceremony

At SENSAI, we are deeply committed to preserving and honouring the beauty traditions of Japan. Our passion for artistry and reverence for nature have inspired us to create Saho, a unique skincare ritual that embodies our core principles.

Introducing the SENSAI Skincare Ritual: Saho

One of our core practises is to preserve valued artistic traditions of Japan. From the many forms, our inspiration is centred on the unparalleled experience of the ancient Japanese tea ceremony. Considered the epitome of hospitality, this tradition is a curated event that encompasses a profound respect for nature, a sensitivity for aesthetic simplicity and an appreciation for discipline. This spirit lies at the centre of SENSAI, and it is inherited through our unique skincare ritual, Saho.

WHY SAHO DOUBLE CLEANSING

Unveil the True Beauty of Your Skin

Saho Double Cleansing is a skincare technique that involves using two different cleansers in two steps to achieve a deep and thorough cleanse. But why is Double Cleansing necessary and what benefits does it bring for your skin?

Double Cleansing - Step 1

Throughout the day, your skin accumulates various impurities such as pollution particles, excess sebum, make-up residues, and sweat. A single cleanse may not effectively remove all these impurities, leading to clogged pores, dullness, and potential skin issues. This is where Double Cleansing is essential.

The first step of Double Cleansing involves using an oil-based cleanser. This helps to dissolve and lift away oil-based impurities and make-up, resulting in a cleaner and healthier complexion.

Including a Step 1 cleanser effectively removes sebum and make-up.
Step 1 cleansers help to reduce clogged pores and dullness, without irritating skin.
All Step 1 cleansers are oil-based.

Double Cleansing - Step 2

The second step of Double Cleansing, using a water-based cleanser, focuses on removing impurities like sweat, pollen and dead skin cells to purify skin complexion. By using a water-based cleanser in this step, you ensure removal of these impurities, leaving your skin cleansed, purified and enhance the skin’s receptivity of beauty ingredients. Combining an oil-based cleanser with a water-based cleanser in a Double Cleansing routine helps to achieve an improved removal of sweat and dead skin cells, promoting a more vibrant and glowing complexion.

Step 2 cleansers remove impurities like sweat, pollen or dead skin cells.
Combining Step 1 and Step 2 cleansers in Double Cleansing helps to achieve a purified and glowing complexion.
All Step 2 cleansers are water-based.

Saho Double Cleansing

Step 1: Begin by applying the recommended amount of the cleanser onto your dry skin. Massage it gently, allowing the product to dissolve and remove oil-based impurities, such as make-up and sebum. Wipe off the cleanser with a facial tissue or rinse it off. Remember to use Step 1 only in the evenings.

Step 2: Begin by moistening your face with water. Create a rich lather with the soap* and envelop your entire face with it. Wash your face, paying extra attention to rough or dull areas by gently moving your finger. Rinse off the soap with a facial tissue or water, ensuring that no residue remains on your hairline or other areas. Use Step 2 to start your morning ritual and to end your evening cleansing routine.

*Except for SILKY PURIFYING CLEAR GEL WASH.

Create your personalised Saho Double Cleansing ritual by selecting from our extensive range of Step 1 and Step 2 cleansers. When choosing Step 1, consider your preferred product texture, whether it's a creamy cleanser or a refreshing gel, to suit your sensory preferences. For Step 2, tailor your selection based on your specific skin needs, whether you have dry, normal or oily skin. Explore our SILKY PURIFYING, ABSOLUTE SILK, and ULTIMATE lines to find the perfect combination that aligns with both your sensory preferences and your skin's unique requirements.

Step 1: Begin by applying an appropriate amount of the hydrating lotion onto your palms. Smooth the lotion gently over your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin little by little, using your fingertips. Work the lotion outward in a circular motion from the centre of your face until it absorbs easily. Use Step 1 in both your morning and evening skincare ritual.

Step 2: After priming your skin with the lotion, take an appropriate amount of the emulsion, fluid or cream on your palms. Smooth it over your entire face, including any areas that are prone to dryness, with gentle motions. Incorporate Step 2 into both your morning and evening skincare ritual.
