Elevating Your Sauna Experience with UL-OS
In the world of self-care, the significance of a proper sauna experience cannot be overstated. UL-OS, a skincare brand from Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., aims to revolutionize this experience through its new initiative, "One Step Beyond Togetō". Launching on June 20, 2025, this project targets sauna enthusiasts who seek to elevate their well-being beyond just the soothing heat.
The Project Overview: Going Beyond Togetō
The "One Step Beyond Togetō" project emphasizes that true wellness involves not only the mind and body but also one’s skin health. Collaborating with some of Japan's most renowned sauna facilities—often referred to as the "Holy Lands of Sauna"—UL-OS will host skin care sampling events in conjunction with sauna experiences.
The first event will take place at the
Sauna & Capsule Hotel Hokuou in Tokyo, from June 26 to June 29, 2025. Sauna-goers during this period will receive samples of UL-OS products designed to support post-sauna skincare routines. This new add-on aims to redefine what it means to genuinely "tegetō"—the Japanese term for achieving physical and mental harmony through sauna use.
The Importance of Post-Sauna Skincare
Sauna enthusiasts, or "sauners," often overlook the significance of skincare post-sauna. The heat relaxes muscles and calms the mind, but the high temperatures can leave the skin vulnerable. As a result, skin hydration becomes crucial after every session in the sauna. UL-OS is determined to provide products that maintain skin integrity, ensuring that sauners feel fulfilled both mentally and physically.
Key Activities In the Project
The project will feature events around the 26th of every month, coinciding with Japan's "Bath Day". These events will gradually roll out across various sauna facilities, offering opportunities for men to participate in exclusive skincare experiences. The brand’s commitment to promoting skin health through wellness practices aligns seamlessly with the sauna culture.
Additionally, a special dialogue featuring experts Yohei Kusunagi, a sauna researcher, and Yosuke Kato, the director of the Japan Sauna Association, will explore the relationship between sauna usage and skin care. This dialogue will release on June 20, just ahead of the kick-off event, and promises to reveal hidden truths about skin condition during sauna sessions and the immediate need for post-sauna moisturization.
Exclusive Experiences at Sauna & Capsule Hotel Hokuou
During the partnership event at the
Sauna & Capsule Hotel Hokuou, guests will not only receive skincare samples but will also experience a uniquely decorated environment featuring the UL-OS brand colors. This transformation aims to enhance the overall sauna experience, adding a touch of comfort and aesthetic that goes beyond the usual.
Conclusion: A Promise of Quality and Care
UL-OS, founded on the belief that healthy skin equals beauty, is positioned to offer transformative experiences that resonate with sauna users. This initiative promotes the idea that self-care should prioritize genuine health over superficial appearances. As the project unfolds, we anticipate more collaborations with sauna facilities nationwide, enriching the sauna culture with an emphasis on holistic care.
