About Kobido

What is Kobido?

Kobido is an ancient Japanese face massage done by hands. It works deeply with the skin, muscles, and energy — helping the face look lifted, fresh, and naturally glowing.

It’s often called a “natural facelift” without needles or machines.

Kobido’s roots come from ancient Chinese medicine.

In Japan, it became a sacred beauty ritual in the 15th century. Used first by Samurai for energy, then by empresses and geishas for rejuvenation and calm.

Kobido means “Ancient Way to Beauty” — it treats skin, energy, and emotion together. Passed down from master to student, with full respect for its sacred roots.

This ancient ritual is now part of Beauty Code.
