Aesthetic

Japanese: エステティック
Aesthetic
Originally meaning "having a sense of beauty" or "aesthetic," the term referred to a movement that arose from the late 19th century to the early 20th century of wearing clothes in a style that followed the natural shape of the body, but today it has come to mean beautifying the whole body through beauty treatments. In Japan, aesthetic salons offering facial treatments, makeup, manicures, hair removal, weight loss, etc. appeared around 1972 and became popular in the late 1980s. Some salons also incorporate aromatherapy, which aims to provide a refreshing effect through the scents of nature, and thalassotherapy, which involves applying packs using seaweed and sea mud.

Japanese:
本来は〈美の感覚を持つ〉〈審美的な〉の意で,19世紀後半から20世紀初頭にかけて起きた,自然の体形にそったスタイルの服を着るという運動をいうが,転じて現在では美容によって全身を美しくすることをいう。 日本では,1972年ころよりフェイシャル・トリートメント,メーキャップ,マニキュア,脱毛,痩身(そうしん)などを目的としたエステティック・サロンが現れ,1980年代後半に流行した。自然の香りによるリフレッシュ効果をねらったアロマセラピーや,海藻,海泥を用いてパックを行うタラソテラピーを取り入れているところもある。
