Body Care, the Part You've Been Putting Off
You care for your face every day, but body care tends to get pushed aside.
A story about taking time, at the turn of the season, to touch your own body with care.
The morning and evening breezes have gradually begun to feel like autumn.
Facial care is something you never skip. Work in your toner, then layer on cream.
But when it comes to everything below the neck, it's easy to let it slide.
Does that sound familiar?
Before you know it, your shins have turned chalky and flaky, or your elbows and knees feel rough.
A little later than the face, the body shows the changing season too.
The Skin of Your Body at Summer's End
All summer long, your body has been out in the open.
Strong sun, sweat, the chill of air conditioning.
And now, dry air will gradually be added to the mix.
In October, the swing in temperature between day and night grows sharper.
Skin tends to feel more stressed during this time.
That's exactly why it's a good moment to start body care now.
Light and Silky After Application
KOTOSHINA's "Body Cream - Coconut Scent" is the kind of cream we especially hope you'll use during a season like this.
Take it into your hands and it spreads softly, melting smoothly into skin. 
It blends gently into every part of your skin, leaving it feeling hydrated and plump. And once it's on, it leaves a smooth, silky finish, almost as if dusted with powder.
With no sticky residue left behind, you can get dressed right away without a second thought.
Whether it's the humid end of summer, or winter when dryness becomes a concern,
this one cream adapts to your skin's changes and can be enjoyed comfortably throughout the seasons.
From the Fruit of the Tea Plant
This cream is formulated with organic coconut oil, alongside organic green tea from Uji, Kyoto, and moisturizing ingredients like tea seed oil.
Tea seed oil, as its name suggests, is an oil pressed from the fruit of the tea plant.
The tea plant blooms with white flowers in autumn, and takes about a year to slowly bear fruit.
Bringing what comes from the tea plant into your daily care.
An organic tea garden in Uji, and an organic cosmetics manufacturer in France. KOTOSHINA is a brand born from the meeting of those two. The wisdom of a land that has grown tea for generations, and the craft of making cosmetics that care for skin — both are woven into this cream.
A Faintly Sweet Coconut Scent
After a bath, while your skin is still gently warm. Take the cream into your palms, and work it in as though giving your whole body a gentle massage.
A faintly sweet coconut scent drifts softly around you. As you glide your hands over your arms, shoulders, and legs one by one, you realize it's been quite a while since you touched your own body with such care.
A few minutes spent thanking, with your palms, the body that has worked hard all day. KOTOSHINA's phrase, "balance it, as if whisking tea," refers to just this kind of time.
When you're done, enjoy a cup of warm tea. From the outside, and from within. May you move gently through the turn of the season.
