The Luxury of Just Face and Hands Visible from a Suit in Winter

Masafumi SuzukiThis body coloring, applied to the décolletage and other areas, seems popular among women attending parties.

HoMEIt also has the visual effect of making one look healthily toned even in winter. Since an airbrush is used, it's possible to draw lines, like those in a painting, to accentuate the cleavage.

SuzukiWhat kind of people use this service?

After the treatment. Mr. Suzuki's skin type tends to turn red when tanned.
Therefore, the reddish 'Terracotta' shade is apparently the best fit.

HoMECelebrities, models, charismatic hairdressers, and also many people who do hula dancing or Latin dance. Some also come for preparation before a trip.

SuzukiBefore a trip?

HoMEThey come to the salon with their suitcases, get the treatment, and the color develops and sets during the flight. Then, upon arrival, they can maintain their beautiful tan while protecting their skin with sunscreen.

SuzukiWhat happens if I shower tonight?

HoMEWhen you shower on the night of the treatment or the next day, the liquid foundation component will wash off. Please try to avoid sweating or rubbing as much as possible after the treatment. The DHA, derived from the sugar in sugarcane that makes up the liquid component, is designed to develop color only after 6 hours.

SuzukiI understand. Thank you for today.

For body color users, it helps the color to set better.
They also offer original tanning supplements (effects may vary by individual).

Experiencing Body Coloring

Such things are only natural in today's world.
About ten years ago, when I asked the then-president of Estée Lauder, he told me that in Australia, where the ozone layer has a large hole, skin cancer was developing at a rate of nearly one in two people.
With environmental degradation contributing, is the sun shifting from a 'blessing' to a 'curse'?

Even for Mongolians, who are said to have stronger skin than Caucasians, the situation may now be dire.
Is the allure of healthy bronze skin now just a distant dream?

While contemplating such matters, I also felt a strange embarrassment towards the stark white faces and skin of Kabuki characters, geishas, and maiko, as well as the Michael Jackson-esque look.
Doesn't it suggest a baseless white complex harbored by people of Asian or Black descent?
Similarly, the recent trend of extreme UV avoidance and 'skin whitening' appears to me as nothing more than a dark, distorted yearning for beauty.

Active individuals living naturally, openly, and cheerfully in nature should have a natural tan under the sun.
However, I dislike artificially jet-black skin as it looks dirty.
But there's the issue of the ozone layer depletion.

Therefore, for the past few years, I've been secretly using self-tanning products.
The body coloring salon in Minami-Aoyama, 'HoME,' which I tried this time, has turned this self-tanning into a service.
With self-tanning cosmetics, like the gel or spray types I use myself, which cost around 3,000 yen per bottle, it's difficult to reach the back of the body, and unevenness tends to occur. So, I think this is a good solution.

Although I could only do it once and not twice consecutively, it lasted for almost a week.
In summer, when I tend to sweat, I might use a mild tanning salon, and in autumn and winter, I plan to create a healthy look by relying on self-tanning, including airbrush tanning.
That's my current plan, perhaps?

HoME recently introduced the Italian-made slimming machine 'ALEX-S,' which works to teach the body's metabolism how to lose weight at a cellular level. Thirty minutes with 'ALEX-S' burns the same amount of calories as running a 15-kilometer marathon.
