In Japan, the term Hinou-Dokon (皮膚脳同根) means “skin-mind, same root.” Modern science confirms that the skin and mind are deeply interconnected, stemming from the same origin: how we feel on the inside shows up on the skin, and caring for the skin nurtures the mind in return. In our world that moves fast, rituals like meditation invite the mind to slow down. When the mind finds calm, the skin reflects it.
