Based on rice, water, and malt, Sake is simply alcohol. In Japan, drinking sake was once used to prevent colds. And Sake has a variety of benefits. Indeed, Sake has a preventive role which was contained in the term itself, the word sake having meant “to prevent” before taking its modern meaning. But its virtues were also cosmetic. The geishas thus used the leftover sake of their clients to make their beauty lotion.
Indeed, Sake helps activate the blood circulation and the vascularization of the skin and brightens the complexion. Also preventing its dryness, it allows the skin to stay hydrated and luminous. In addition, kojic acid - one of the hundred amino and organic acids contained in Sake - acts on melanin and thus helps reduce spots and moles. On the other hand, Japanese Sake, which was once called “water of youth”, activates the metabolism of cells and slows down their aging. Sake, therefore, prevents damage to the skin. The sake-based lotion, which retains a light fragrance, moisturizes the skin and prevents it from drying out while allowing it to regain its elasticity through the secretion of collagen it promotes. In ancient Japan, Sake was considered a panacea, which scientific studies have confirmed. Its use is passed down from generation to generation.
