Beauty treatments in Tokyo?
Hey everyone,
I’ve been living in Japan for a while, and during my student life (part-time job and being broke), I didn’t really take care of myself much in terms of my skin or overall appearance.
Now that I will hopefully be starting a full-time job soon, I want to start putting more effort into my self-care and how I present myself. This might sound a bit vague, but I would really appreciate any general recommendations for beauty treatments or self-care things in Tokyo or Japan. I am not looking for anything very specific, just things that people commonly do or have found helpful.
To be honest, I never really had a mother or female role model to guide me on self-care, and I have always been busy dealing with other responsibilities. Even though I am older now, I am only starting to explore these things for myself, so any suggestions would really help.
Also, I have acne-prone skin. I have built a skincare routine through my own research, and it has improved my acne, but I still deal with breakouts and facial hair, which I suspect may be related to PCOS.
I have heard mixed things about how PCOS is handled in Japan, including that doctors may not take it as seriously. Is that true? If not, what kind of doctor should I see (gynecologist, dermatologist, etc.)? Is it possible to get proper testing done to understand hormone levels, and would any of this typically be covered under national health insurance?
I would really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thank you.
