In Japan, the pursuit of "mochi skin"—that impossibly smooth, plump, and translucent complexion—is a national obsession. And at its core lies a meticulous focus on pore clarity and refined texture. This isn't about harsh treatments; it's about a strategic, harmonious "Clarity Circuit" that respects your skin's integrity. This J-Beauty guide unveils a CosMe-approved three-step protocol designed to effectively prep, polish, and plump your skin, revealing an undeniably clear and radiant complexion that you’ll want to show off.

Circuit Step 1: The Pore Sludge Dissolver (First Cleanse)

The first, crucial step to pore clarity is to effectively dissolve the oil-based impurities—makeup, sunscreen, and stubborn sebum—that clog pores. The Kumano Oil Deve Deep Cleansing Oil Bottle 180ml is a top-ranked champion for this. Its lightweight, yet effective, oil formula effortlessly melts away impurities without stripping. Massage onto dry skin, then add a little water to emulsify into a milky texture, and rinse clean. It leaves your skin feeling soft, nourished, and impeccably primed, ensuring your pores are ready for deeper refinement.

Circuit Step 2: The Targeted Baking Soda Polish (1-2x/Week)

With your pores prepped, the next step is a targeted polish to refine texture and lift stubborn debris. The KEANA Nadeshiko Baking Soda Scrub Wash 100g is your secret weapon for this, best used strategically. Its fine baking soda particles provide a gentle physical exfoliation, effectively clearing pores and buffing away dullness. **Timing Rules:** Use this no more than 1-2 times a week, focusing on areas prone to congestion (e.g., T-zone) with short contact time and gentle circular motions. This prevents over-exfoliation while still delivering noticeable texture refinement. **Skin-Type Variation:** For oily skin, you might use it twice; for sensitive skin, once a week or every other week is sufficient.

Circuit Step 3: The Daily Plump & Calm (Post-Cleanse)

After purification and polishing, your skin needs an intensive, calming dose of hydration to plump it up and restore balance. The LULULUN Hydra AZ Face Mask 7 Sheets is your essential tool for this daily plump and calm. These richly saturated sheet masks deliver a powerful dose of soothing and hydrating serum. Used daily or frequently after cleansing, they visibly plump the skin, reduce any post-exfoliation redness, and create that bouncy, supple texture. This ensures your complexion looks incredibly dewy, fresh, and luminous, completing your Clarity Circuit with a truly radiant finish.

By embracing Japan's three-step 'Clarity Circuit,' you can meticulously prep, polish, and plump your way to an undeniably clear, refined, and radiant complexion. Ready to unlock your mochi glow?
