What Is Crystal Jemmy Day?
September 13th is "Crystal Jemmy Day," established by Kaori Nakajima, president of the cosmetics company Crystal Jemmy Co., Ltd. (Shibuya, Tokyo), who is known as a natural-skin beauty researcher and the "Muse of Skin Whitening." The day is certified by the Japan Anniversary Association, and its official English name is "CRYSTAL JEMMY DAY."
A Brand Name Built Into a Date
Crystal Jemmy 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 Jemmy"
- Established by: Kaori Nakajima, president of cosmetics company Crystal Jemmy and a researcher focused on natural skin beauty
- Purpose: To let people know that Kaori Nakajima is the face of Crystal Jemmy and to share her wish to help more women look beautiful
- About the company: Founded in 1984, Crystal Jemmy makes and sells cosmetics and health foods and holds seminars on beauty and health
The Idea Behind "Suhada-bi" (Natural Skin Beauty)
The company has also established other anniversaries to encourage beauty awareness throughout the year, including "Spot Care Day" (April 3), "Shiro no Hi" (White Day, April 6), "Wrinkle Care Day" (April 8), "Muse of Whitening Day" (August 9) and "Clear Skin Day" (October 28).
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
