GINZA SIX EDITORS Vol.52

好热! 太热了! 连日的酷暑&冷气、紫外线etc.对身体造成相当大的伤害。原本皮肤就不用说了,就连身体都生锈了。这个气候让人受不了。一边想着“正因为如此,身体也必须好好保养”,一边因为炎热不知不觉就疏忽了……。

这种时候,就下定决心用专业的手进行维护! 因此,我来到了GINZA SIX。在豪华的氛围中,一口气让身体闪闪发光的作战计划。

首先要进行脚部护理,然后去整体美容沙龙的“uka”。也许是因为每天被紫外线晒干的缘故吧,脚后跟和指甲周围都是干巴巴的。作为美容行业的边缘人来说,这是糟糕的事态!

进了店里,突然一看,映入眼帘的是6种颜色的红色美甲。那个渐变的美丽。纯净的红色、橙色的红色、波尔多系深红色……。红色有这么多色调吗? 如果有6种颜色的话,绝对会喜欢我,还有适合我的红色。

这个美甲系列名为“uka red study1”(全6色各2200日元※以下全部不含税价格)。这是美甲的基本颜色,是出于“希望大家学习一瓶‘红色’”的心情而命名的漂亮名字。一边考虑哪种颜色适合,是现在的心情,一边选择颜色的我,非常认真。

结果,选择的颜色是王道的“1/1”。清澈且不混合,优雅的“红色女王”。里面是在入口看到的时候不知道的舒适美甲空间。在这里可以进行脚的护理和指甲油(脚标准套餐60分钟7000日元,指甲油染1000日元)。足部洗发水、脚的角质护理、指甲的护理、还有指甲油,我的脚步不断增加透明感。

好的,做好了! 红色的美甲与米色的凉鞋相映,连我都很漂亮。这次涂在脚趾上,当然,即使涂在手指甲上,作为女性的排名也会大大提高(注・本公司比)。自己涂的难度很高的是“红色”,但是实际在家里试一试的话,涂得很舒服。下次也试着挑战一下其他颜色吧。

那么,接下来是“潘普利”。来自泰国的品牌Pipuri,以严选的植物原料制成的自然化妆品而闻名。今天请在沙龙空间的“面包树绿洲”进行护理。

“消除每天写稿熬过的疲劳!”充满干劲地选择的菜单是人气的“印度新华按摩”(90分钟17000日元)。首先选择按摩用的精油。从3种中,选择混合了柠檬玻璃杯、曼达林、贝尔加口的“印度辛”。只要闻清新的香味,就已经从筋疲力尽的模式复活。

然后终于到手术了。这边的按摩,是“冲”和“放松”的好地方。因为重要的地方有穴位,所以对疲劳的身体满足度很高。另外,正因为是泰国的品牌,所以加入泰国式的按摩和伸展运动也很好! 背上坐着一位治疗师,浑身体。更是伸展胸部和背的伸展运动。啊,凝固的身体会变软了~。用精油按摩全身,头部按摩就完成了。阴沉沉的身体突然醒来,完全恢复了活力!

我很喜欢按摩时使用的精油香味,作为礼物。这样的话一定能在家里泡在温泉里。(从照片左边开始:印度STH手&美甲油75ml 3600日元,按摩&沐浴露200ml 5800日元)

脚和身体完全整齐的话,最后用润唇膏完成吧。到访的是“Disptic”。以现代、艺术性的香味而闻名的巴黎品牌。

在鳞次栉比的香味面前,情绪是最大的。但是,到底选哪个好呢?……。不用担心,商店工作人员会亲切地给我建议。

而且这次还教给我们一些大人的打法。那就是叠加。话虽如此,开两种香味也不难!? 根据副经理阿部友昭先生的说法,“在球场的话,可以品尝到深度的香味。伍迪等浓郁的香味和若无其事的浮萍重叠在一起,即使是第一次来的人也很容易尝试。”

最后喜欢的是这两个。一个是“欧德桑”。橙花花和棕榈树的香味,真是“大人的清爽”。另一个是“福尔杜波”。以爱丽丝和穆斯克为中心的香味,闻了一下的瞬间,哦,很有色。然后,重叠起来,不可思议、不可思议、新鲜的“奥德山素”不是沾满了甜味和光泽!
比如说,夏天要单品使用“欧德桑斯”,到了秋天就用“福尔杜波”,或者重叠在一起白天→晚上换个话题,可以享受各种各样的乐趣。以此为契机,我预感到了香气游戏的感觉。(从照片左边开始:欧德桑斯奥德瓦莱100ml 16000日元,福尔杜波奥德帕尔福德福尼亚75ml 19000日元)

也有收集了只有时装店才能买到的限定商品,而《鲁巴萨迪34》系列中,有着微妙的香味。瓶子也很美,“想收藏”的野心也涌现出来了。(从照片左边开始:KIMO南特奥德帕尔芬、奥玛奇欧德帕、奥波尼奥帕尔各100ml 24000日元)

在银座的正中央,有美甲、身体、香氛和游轮,可以完成通往美身体的道路,是“成人美的游乐园”GINZA SIX。能够品尝到这么奢侈的时光,长大成人真是太好了!

It’s hot. It’s too hot! Day after day of exposure to heat, air conditioning, and UV rays takes its toll on one’s body. The damage to my skin is obvious, and I’m at an age now where the corrosion has begun to reach into the interior. This weather does nothing but harm to me, but despite thoughts that I should take proper care of my body, the heat makes me do the opposite…

At times like this, I act decisively and seek maintenance from the hands of a pro. That’s why I’ve come to GINZA SIX. Amid this luxurious atmosphere, my plan is to achieve instant restoration for my body.

Choosing to start with foot care, I head to uka, a total beauty salon. Perhaps due to the daily exposure to UV, both my heels and nails are dried out. For someone working in the beauty industry, these are grave circumstances, indeed!

I enter the salon. As I look about, these bottles of nail polish, in six shades of red, catch my eye. I love the beauty of the gradation. There’s a pure red, an orangy red, and a Bordeaux deep red… Are there really this many tones of red? With six colors, I’m bound to like one. One is bound to suit me.

The name of this nail series is uka red study 1 (2,200 yen for one of each of the six colors; all prices listed before tax). This stylish name comes from a desire to get women to learn more about red, the most fundamental nail polish color, the color of which every woman wants a bottle. I consider how I feel today, and I’m overcome with the solemnity of picking the right shade.

In the end, I stick with convention and choose 1/1. This is a clear and pure shade for an elegant red queen. At the back of the salon is a spacious nail area I hadn’t spotted from the entrance when I arrived, where staff provide foot care and pedicures. (The standard foot-care session lasts 60 minutes and costs 7,000 yen; a manicure and coloring is 1,000 yen.) My feet become increasingly translucent as they undergo skin care, nail care, and, finally, a manicure.

And I’m done! The red nails look lovely against my beige sandals. This time I got just my nails painted. Of course—just my personal opinion!—if you have your fingernails done, too, your femininity ascends to still loftier heights. I believe painting your nails red by yourself is quite the challenge, but when I actually try doing it at home later, I’m surprised how easy it is. I find myself thinking I’d like to try some other colors, too.

My next stop is Panpuri, a Thai brand known for natural cosmetics made from carefully selected botanical ingredients. Today I’m getting a treatment session in the Panpuri Oasis salon space.

The course I choose is based on my determination to address the fatigue that comes from writing articles every day. It’s a popular choice, called the Indochine Energizing Massage (90 minutes, 17,000 yen). I first select the oil for my massage. Three kinds are offered. I choose Indochine, a blend of lemon grass, mandarin, and bergamot. Just a sniff of the refreshing scent immediately takes me from exhaustion to reinvigoration mode.

And now the treatment begins. The massage strikes a nice balance between promoting circulation and promoting relaxation. Pressure is applied to every important acupuncture point, something my tired body finds deeply satisfying. And because this is a Thai brand, we also get Thai-style muscle kneading and stretching, which is great! The therapist straddles my back and applies her weight as she pushes down vigorously. She also stretches my chest and back. The tension gradually lifts from my body. My entire body is massaged with oil, and the session ends with a head massage. My lackluster body awakens. I’m restored to the ranks of the living!

I like the scent of the oil used in the treatment, so I buy some to take home. I feel confident it will leave me feeling I’m at a spa even when I’m home (from left: Indochine STH Hand & Nail Cream 75 ml, 3,600 yen and Indochine STH Massage and Body Oil 200 ml, 5,800 yen).

With my body and feet in tiptop shape now, I decide to top everything off with some fragrance. The store I visit—dyptyque—is a Parisian brand known for its modern and artistic scents.

Filled with excitement as I stand before all the fragrances, I also find myself unable to choose—a state of affairs quickly resolved under the kindly guidance of a staff member.

And this time, he teaches me a somewhat grownup way of applying perfume: to apply them in layers. But isn’t applying two scents somewhat tricky? According to assistant manager Tomoaki Abe, “Layering lets you enjoy a deeper scent. Pairing a scent with depth, like a woody fragrance and a subtle floral scent, is easy, something even beginners will want to try.”

Eventually I decide I have two favorites. One is Eau des Sens, a fragrance composed of orange flowers and juniper berries, redolent of a grownup freshness. The other is Fleur de Peau, a fragrance that revolves around iris and musk. A sniff of this immediately inspires the thought, “This is sexy!” And combining the two…if mystery had a scent, it would be this. The effect is to cast a spell of sweetness and spice around the scent of the Eau de Sens. With these two fragrances, I’m looking forward to exploring lots of possibilities. In summer, for example, I’ll probably wear Eau de Sens by itself. When fall arrives, I may add Fleur de Peau or I can change the scent by adding a layer as day transitions into evening. I’m overcome by the sudden clear sense of the joys and delight that await as I explore the possibility of these fragrances (from left: Eau de Sens eau de toilette 100 ml, 16,000 yen; Fleur de Peau eau de parfum 75 ml 19,000 yen).

There’s also a space filled with exclusive products available only at the boutique. The Le Bazar Du 34 series features nuanced fragrances that inspire giddy feelings. The bottles are beautiful. I’m filled with delight at the thought of collecting them all (from left: Kimonan eau de parfum, Eau Mage eau de parfum, Opone eau de parfum – all 100 ml, 24,000 yen each).

GINZA SIX is a true beauty theme park for grownups, right in the heart of Ginza, offering every device and measure needed to achieve a beautiful body, from your nails to your body and your fragrance. The joy of spending such a luxurious hour makes me glad to be a grownup.
