Ganbanyoku

Ganbanyoku (Gan-Ban-Yoku) means ‘stone bath’, or ‘stone sauna’ in Japanese. It is a method of cleansing and relaxation that involves lying down on a heated slab of rock that is embedded in the Ganbanyoku room floor (or on a Ganbanyoky bed) without using hot water. It is also referred to as "stone-bathing", but there is no bathing or water involved. It has been very popular in Japan in the past few years, and word is now spreading to the rest of the world.

The Ganban (stone) used at stone-spa parlors contains a lot of minerals and emits far-infrared ray. At such places, the rock is heated up to about 40c (105F) and you spread a towel and lie on the rock for 15 minutes. After taking a break for 5 to 10 minutes, you will repeat the same set for 3~4 times.

The effects of Ganbanyoku use are numerous and both aesthetic and metabolic. The detoxification process improves general bodily functions, blood circulation, alleviates pain, jump-starts a flagging immune system, deodorizes, and yields visible skin improvement, lending one a healthy, robust aura. The treatment also improves basal metabolism, making the body more efficient in utilizing energy, resulting in sustainable weight-loss. Prolonged proper treatments have also revealed the undeniable anti-ageing benefits of Ganbanyoku.

Gold pack mask

Electric micro current is going around your body. Gold pack helps activate the current, which gets slow with age. By activating the current, your skin turnover (rejuvenation) and blood circulation becomes more faster.

I tried it in Kanazawa, Japan, where 99% of gold in Japan is produced. Gold pack mask is famous here, but I am not sure the effectiveness though...

Don't believe cosmetics claims of quick fix-over night change

Some of your cosmetics might say, "wrinkles disappear right after applying" or "skin gets younger over night," but that's too good to be true!

Your skin cell's turnover rate is every 28 days. This means that the cells die and are re-born every 28 days.  (If you are 40 years old+, your turn over might be every 40 days in general.)

Your skin may become improved by cosmetics, but it takes at least 28 days to see the results.

In addition, skin cells in different areas have different re-born rates.  So taking these differences into account, it's said that it takes 3 months to see results from new cosmetics.

If you see big difference too quickly, that's just because of the formula's synthetic ingredients, like polymers. That doesn't mean that your original skin gets younger overnight.

Don't rub your eyes- It may cause wrinkles

The skin around your eyes is the thinnest and most sensitive. If you have a habit of rubbing eyes often, try not to do too many times and do gently when have to do.

Rubbing skin can damage epidermis (top layer of the skin) and that leaves many small wrinkles and dark circles around eyes.
