A recent Japanese study shows that applying moisturizer while respecting certain parameters derived from skin physiology significantly optimizes its effects.<\/p>\n
The study conducted in Japan<\/a> sought to determine the optimal method for applying a moisturizer, based on the skin's natural functions. Researchers measured stratum corneum hydration (SCW) in healthy individuals according to the timing, amount, and frequency of application. Here are the main results:<\/p>\n To follow this Japanese ritual, you need to:<\/p>\n This protocol, validated by skin physiology, improves radiance, softness, and the skin barrier function, all in a simple and accessible way for everyone, regardless of skin type.<\/p>\n The study conducted by Japanese researchers thus highlights the importance of timing and regularity in daily care, confirming that a well-targeted action, carried out just after showering, has benefits far superior to the classic routine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A very precise Japanese post-shower ritual, based on dermatological research, allows you to boost the skin's radiance and...","protected":false},"author":8394,"featured_media":428505,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"disable_msn":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[89445],"tags":[97833,97274],"class_list":["post-428504","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soins","tag-actu","tag-peau"],"image":{"medium":["https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Ce-rituel-post-douche-japonais-booste-leclat-de-la-peau-sans-effort-200x113.jpg",200,113,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Ce-rituel-post-douche-japonais-booste-leclat-de-la-peau-sans-effort-500x281.jpg",500,281,true]},"custom":{"td_video":"","featured_image":"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Ce-rituel-post-douche-japonais-booste-leclat-de-la-peau-sans-effort.jpg","author":{"name":"L\u00e9a Michel","avatar":"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1721220128171-96x96.jpg"},"categories":[{"term_id":89445,"name":"Skincare","slug":"soins","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":89617,"taxonomy":"category","description":" The Skincare section of The Body Optimist helps you build simple face and body routines, understand cosmetic ingredients and protect your skin from the sun, whatever your skin tone.

In the morning, use a gentle cleanser (or just rinse if your skin is dry), a moisturizer that suits you, then sunscreen. At night, cleanse to remove sunscreen and grime, then apply a cream.
