Uncovering Japan’s best-kept secret.
During our TAKAMI beauty masterclass, which took place on a sunny Saturday afternoon, our BAZAAR Cliques were whisked away to a sea of blues.
Where elegance meets expertise, our Cliques stepped into the vibrant If Only restaurant, nestled in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. The air was filled with anticipation as beauty enthusiasts gathered, eager to unravel the discovery behind Japan’s best-kept secret, TAKAMI.
Established in 1999, Japanese skincare brand TAKAMI began its journey as a medical aesthetics beauty clinic in Omotesando, Tokyo.
TAKAMI focuses on caring for the 0.02mm outermost layer of the skin (the stratum corneum, also known as ‘Kakushitsu’ in Japanese).
And that’s the beauty of TAKAMI. As the new brand launched in Malaysia, our Cliques got to dive deeper into the world of TAKAMI.
As they make their way to their seats, refreshments mirroring the signature TAKAMI blue and savoury bites roll in before the fun begins.
At the core of the TAKAMI brand, the Skinpeel is a catalyst for transformation. As Japan’s No.1 skincare product, it stimulates cell turnover, unveiling smoother, brighter skin and reviving natural radiance.
Therefore, we decided to channel this philosophy into an enjoyable activation with Wanderlust + Co. While we encourage anyone to showcase their best self, we organised a Patch Bar activity, where our Cliques express their personality and strengths by adding whimsical and quirky patches to their organic cotton keyring straps to take home.
As the Cliques gathered around the activation table, they unleashed their personality by picking a patch that deeply resonated with them. From quirky graphics to picking their favourite food patches, it truly ignited a spark in each Clique.
Afterwards, a brief introduction to TAKAMI was presented, followed by an insightful, hands-on demonstration. This demonstration highlighted everything from detailed skincare routines to caring for your skin—referred to here as your kakushitsu—with a gentle approach to achieving radiant, healthy skin.
What sets this masterclass apart is the realisation of how aggressive anyone can be with this skincare routine. To protect the delicate Kakushitsu, treating your skin with a gentle approach is crucial to the process. Thankfully, TAKAMI’s educator, Elaine, led our Cliques by teaching them the frictionless method to safeguard your skin while washing your face. With the TAKAMI Moisture Rich Face Foam, you’re able to avoid direct rubbing with your fingers while cleansing. Next, it was uncovering the beauty behind its hero product: the Skinpeel essence.

As curiosity and admiration fill the air, the beauty masterclass offers a chance for our beauty mavens to ask questions about the hero products and more. As the day ended, our Cliques left the session with not only newfound skills and expertise but also a gift bag filled with TAKAMI products to incorporate into their regimen—a little piece of elegance to take home.
Overall, the beauty masterclass encapsulates the essence of beauty as an art form and a personal journey, empowering individuals to embrace their unique styles while learning from the industry’s best.
