why do Japan's people have such clear skin ?

Answer 1

Part of it is genetics. However, people take care of their skin in Japan, by avoiding the sun. They use sun umbrellas or wear hats to keep from getting tan, because having whiter skin is complimented on (which is the opposite in the US, where someone might compliment of tanned skin).

Also, some people go to beauty-clinic to get face massages, and there are many different types of facial cream sold in Japan, that makes your skin clearer, whiter, and spotless.

Food also contributes to the clear skin. Tea, is one, which is probably why most Asians, where people drink tea, have clear skins. However, I'm Japanese and I was talking to a Chinese hair-stylist the other day, and he said that the one different food that Japanese people eat that other Asians don't, is miso (soy-bean paste, which is used to make miso-soup). So I guess eating soy-beans are part of it.

Just eating raw foods, rice, or veggies doesn't make a difference (although greasy foods do make a difference). It's more about eating a balanced meal (since the old Japanese saying says that you should at least eat 30 different kinds of foods each day). Also, when eating the food, the old wives-tale states that you should only eat so that only 80% of your stomach is full (I don't know about whether this one contributes to clearer skin, but this is different than America, right?)

You have to remember, though, that it's not all Japanese people! Just like there are Caucasians with clear skin, and some without, there are Japanese who have clear skins, while the others do not. This applies probably to all race/ethnicities, because there are other race/ethnicities who have clear skin, too!

Answer 3

It's very fashionable for Japanese women to maintain the whitest complexions and to do so they avoid sunlight like it's the plague. This could be a step to a clear complexion.

Answer 4

maybe there's a difference in skin types with regards to who's more prone to get acne

Answer 5

Good genes. I've met vegetarians/health food addicts with the worst acne, so I doubt diet has much to do with it.

Answer 6

Because of their diet. They don't eat the huge quantities of refried grease and snack cakes that Americans do.

Answer 7

The Japanese Tea has a blood cleansing effect. They eat a lot of fish, which is great for skin.

The chinese have good skin too. Chinese tea is good for the system too.

Answer 8

Because what they eat consists more of grains and "purer"(if i must say so) foods. If u notice, once they get to America and start eating McDonalds and stuff, their skin becomes more"Americanized". :D

Answer 9

it is genetic......it seems that all the asian cultures have fair and porcelain like skin....i am 1/2 filipina and have always been complimented on it....

but the thing is, i grew up here in the states, i HATE rice and fish, and i eat the "typical" american foods.....so it has to be genetic!!!!! (my opinion at least)

Answer 10

Because they eat healthy and drink a lot of water.
