“Beauty in Imperfection”

At a late-autumn tea gathering, the tea master prepared bowls for each guest. Some were intricately crafted, while others appeared plain and coarse, even bearing the marks of time. A young guest secretly wished for the most beautiful bowl, but instead received the simplest, most weathered one. Disappointed, he hesitated—until the tea master smiled and said:

“Every bowl carries its own weight. Cracks and blemishes are traces of its existence. Treat it with respect, and it will return to you the truest fragrance of tea.”

Lifting the bowl, the young man found the tea’s aroma to be round and full, no less delightful than the others. In that moment, humility and gratitude quietly arose within him.

Skincare Wisdom: Skin does not need to be flawless. Every line, every mark deserves respect. Only with a humble and caring heart will the skin respond with its most genuine radiance.
