SEKIYA RESORT Galleria Midobaru has been certified as one of 10 establishments in Beppu with scientifically verified beauty hot spring water, through a research project conducted by POLA Corporation titled "Hot Spring Therapy That Brings Joy to Both Skin and Mind."

This certification was granted after scientific analysis of the actual hot spring water flowing into the bathtubs used by guests. In Beppu, four types of beauty hot spring water have been identified: "Beauty Repair Hot Spring," "Barrier Oasis Hot Spring," "Loosening Booster Hot Spring," and "Melting Purification Hot Spring." Among these, Galleria Midobaru's hot spring has been classified as a "Barrier Oasis Hot Spring," recommended for those concerned about dry skin.

Scientifically Verified Skincare Benefits

Analysis results confirmed that the establishment's hot spring water has the effect of "moderately regulating the shedding of stratum corneum cells and enhancing moisture retention capacity." This hot spring is expected to help adjust the skin's barrier function and lead to moisturized, radiant skin. The scientific validation demonstrates that this hot spring offers high value not only for relieving daily fatigue but also as a therapeutic experience aimed at beautiful skin.

Recommended Bathing Method

To enjoy the "Barrier Oasis Hot Spring" more effectively, incorporating half-body bathing is recommended. Rather than warming the entire body at once, gently caring for the easily dried leg area allows moisture to circulate thoroughly while minimizing strain on the body. For post-bath skincare, it's recommended to apply cream as a seal after replenishing moisture with toner. This helps retain the enhanced moisture retention capacity from the hot spring and leads to healthier skin condition.

Why not immerse yourself in Beppu's exceptional hot spring quality and peaceful time, adjusting your skin condition while experiencing a healing moment that soothes your mind? Galleria Midobaru welcomes visitors through a special stay experience away from daily life.
