Wordplay AnniversariesWhat Is Crystal Jemie Day?
September 13th is "Crystal Jemie Day," established by Kaori Nakajima, president of the cosmetics company Crystal Jemie Co., Ltd., and a researcher known for her work on natural skin beauty.
A Brand Name Built Into a Date
Crystal Jemie Day was created to spread awareness of the company's brand name through a wordplay on the date.
- Origin: The date comes from a Japanese wordplay in which "9-1-3" can be read to sound like "Crystal Jemie"
- Established by: Kaori Nakajima, president of cosmetics company Crystal Jemie and a researcher focused on natural skin beauty
- Purpose: To promote the Crystal Jemie brand and the philosophy of valuing the natural beauty of one's own skin
The Idea Behind "Suhada-bi" (Natural Skin Beauty)
Rather than relying on heavy makeup, the concept of "suhada-bi," bringing out beauty by caring for the skin's own natural condition, encourages a return to the basics of skincare. Small daily habits add up to healthier skin over time.
Ways to Mark the Day
- Review your everyday skincare routine
- Check in on your skin type and current condition
- Pay attention to lifestyle habits that support natural skin beauty
- Try a new skincare product
A Reminder to Appreciate Your Natural Skin
