My Own "Balance" Maintained Abroad

My work involves project management specifically for international companies, so I spend about half the year overseas. Because of this, I pay close attention to self-management. I make sure not to neglect my daily exercise to avoid health issues from irregular eating habits due to business dinners or lack of sleep from jet lag.

Exercise helps me maintain physical balance, and I aim to run about 40km a week. If I can't run, I do strength training indoors. Push-ups, 200 of them! (laughs) For meals, I tend to eat more at breakfast and give my digestive system a rest at night. I dedicate at least two hours from waking up until I leave the house to establish my own rhythm. This includes exercise, showering, shaving, applying Wakan Organics, eating, and then heading out.

Recently, I was reminded of its effectiveness during a business trip to Asia in winter. After shaving as usual, I applied Wakan Organics before going out, and my skin didn't feel dry until the evening. It's also incredibly useful on flights, which tend to be very dry. As I'm entering the age group often referred to as middle-aged and older, taking care of my skin's balance is important. Besides using it after shaving, I also apply it to my body, though I like to mix it with my favorite fragrance for a personal touch.

Enjoying "Made in Japan"

A newspaper article I read recently while on a business trip mentioned that wealthy individuals worldwide are increasingly interested in men's grooming. Men's beauty items are also expanding within the apparel industry. The article highlighted that "metrosexuals" – those highly conscious of their appearance and lifestyle – are now focusing on "care items."

Of course, this applies not only to them but to everyone. I believe being mindful of one's appearance is a fundamental habit. Wakan Organics, made with rare global ingredients, offers convenience and efficiency as an all-in-one care item. Its meticulous Japanese craftsmanship, rooted in "Wa" (harmony), is reflected in the product and, I am confident, is recognized internationally.
