The topic of conversation is her “rapid beautification! Akane Osawa: “It’s thanks to my mommy friends, MEGUMI, and my husband, Gekidan Hitori.

MEGUMI, a pioneer in the beauty world, is a “pervert.

In fact, I didn’t do anything beauty at all until I was 36 years old. I didn’t even go to …… clinics, I just applied all-in-one gel. I just put all-in-one gel on my face and body! It’s like that (laughs).”

On February 2, she even published a beauty book titled “Late Bloomer, Skin Management Otaku, Beauty and All” (Wani Books). What lured her into the world of beauty was none other than herself.

One day, I looked in the mirror and was astonished. One day, I looked in the mirror and was astonished to see a reflection of a “me that wasn’t me. I was tired of raising my children, I was sagging, and many other things were showing on my face. …… When I turned on the TV, my peers in the entertainment industry were still sparkling. I was frustrated. I made up my mind to get serious about beauty.”

The days leading up to the development of “skin management geek beauty” are detailed in the aforementioned book, but the reason why Osawa, who describes herself as an insatiable fan, got so into it was because “it’s just fun. She says, “It’s almost like a hobby, so I don’t even feel like I’m making an effort.

About six months after I started doing beauty treatments, I was picking up my children from school and a friend of theirs said to me, “Isn’t your skin looking good lately? That was really big for me. We are both busy and tired with child-rearing. It made me happy to hear such compliments from my peers.”

She was also inspired by the “beauty guru of the entertainment world.

She was also inspired by the “beauty watchdog of the entertainment world. Whenever I meet her, I ask her many questions. She gives me advice on how to disseminate beauty information, such as, “Be careful of the ‘evidence police.'” What surprised me recently was her talk about body makeup. He has been developing a pinpoint approach to body makeover, saying, “I just want to lose this part of my body. I think he is an athlete or a …… pervert (laughs).

Osawa, who is pushing ahead on the beauty path at a late stage, started her career as a charismatic model for a magazine.

You wouldn’t believe it, but I was more popular than my peers Masami Nagasawa (38) and Aoi Miyazaki (40),” she said (laugh). (Laughs.) But while those girls were moving up the ranks as actresses, I kept failing to get auditions. I was depressed when I saw that the agency was wondering how to sell Osawa. It was then that I came across variety.

No explanation is needed for her subsequent success. After the birth of her third child, she was away from the stage for about three years, but after returning to the stage, she also appeared on stage. The former charismatic model, who found her place in variety after a setback, has awakened to beauty before her 50th birthday and will now pursue an acting career as well.

I don’t talk about work with my husband.

She says she did not consult with her husband, Gekidan Hitori (49), a TV personality, actor, and director, about her return to work, “not at all.

I’ve been in the business longer than him! （We don’t talk about work at home, and I haven’t seen any of Hitori’s films. I watch him struggle up close. I can’t watch them because I know how serious and a little crazy he is, walking around the house thinking. I don’t know how to appreciate it.”

Still, as for his wife, who has awakened to beauty, he says, “She is shy, so I don’t say things like, ‘You look amazing today,’ but she looks at me warmly and says, ‘You’re working really hard’ (laughs).

To FRIDAY readers, Osawa said.

Try a sheet pack after your bath. It will make a dramatic difference!

She has always paved the way by “going all out” in everything she does, and these words of wisdom are well worth a try.
