SUQQU is a Japanese beauty brand that is “dedicated to creating products that work in harmony with the skin and the individual…”. I had my first ‘SUQQU experience’ a year ago. They treated me to a SUQQU Gankin Massage which I then reviewed for the online magazine brownbeautytalk. Since then, SUQQU has become one of my favourite beauty brands. Their makeup is gentle on my skin and the overall finish always makes me look fresh and glowing. I don’t feel as though I’m wearing a mask. Instead, I show up as the best version of myself. Their signature Gankin MassageTM works perfectly as a precursor to makeup application. Two other ways to do it are as part of your daily skincare regime or self-care Sunday. Personally, I rather have it as a treat or when hayfever makes my face dull and puffy. Let me tell you a bit more about the SUQQU Gankin Massage and how it gives a beautiful natural glow.
What Is A SUQQU Gankin Massage
The Gankin MassageTM is SUQQU’s trademarked method of massage the face to improve and enhance the look and feel of skin. It helps to tone and shape the jawline while give the skin and health glow. In just 3 minutes you can have a bright carefree appearance. I can tell you from personal experience it truly works that quickly.
SUQQU’s Gankin MassageTM method embodies the core values of the brand. The name ‘“SUQQU” is derived from the Japanese ideophone of “a figure rising to their full height.” Representing renewal, radiance and grace with a dignified and independent spirit.’ This is certainly how you feel after a a Gankin MassageTM.
Preparing For SUQQU’s Gankin Massage
Set aside 3 minutes for your massage. You could use rich balm or oil for the massage. However, for the full SUQQU experience try the method with SUQQU’s own rich massage cream.
Every year they create a signature scent and it comes in a kit. 2024’s kit is RINSEIKOU.
RINSEIKOU’s scent is an invigorating citrus, fresh white floral bouquet, luxurious woody and warm white. The kit RRP £72 and includes; Designing Massage Cream RINSEIKOU (200g, sponge cloth and spatula), Clarifying Tone (50g travel size), Protecting Day Cream (SPF 50 10g travel size)
The SUQQU Gankin Massage Method
Take a generous dollop of the Designing Massage Cream with the spatula provide and dab the cream over face to begin. I was sent the RINSEIKOU Kit to try the Gankin MassageTM at home. Even when I was attempting SUQQU’s Gankin Massage at home, it felt so good. The lifting. circling and contouring motions my hands made was a work out for my tissue and bones. I could feel it toning up my face and relieving tension. The result for me was an overall brightness to my skin and a reduction in puffiness. If you have a paler complexion, you will have a rosy blush to your cheeks and an overall glow. Still, have a look at how the experts do it over on SUQQU’s Facebook page.
As I mentioned earlier, the massage allows your makeup to pop. My pre-birthday glam makeup look, after a Gankin MassageTM was stunning!
While you are here take a look at the Spring makeup looks I’ve created using products from SUQQU’s SS24 Collection . The collection has drawn inspiration from the spring landscape and rippling water sparkle. It’s just the right amount of sparkle for this time of the year.
