Ran Takahashi - Interview
"Question: What are your thoughts on UV care?"
"Lately, I've noticed that a lot of people around me are taking UV care seriously, and it really feels like we're entering a time when men are also expected to engage in UV care. I believe UV care isn't about gender; it's something everyone should care about, and I definitely want to encourage men to protect their skin as well.

"It's also recently come to light that sun exposure can lead to fatigue, so that's another reason I make UV care a priority. Since I also appear on TV, as in this commercial, I feel it's important to take preventative measures. I actually started paying more attention to skincare around the time before I went to Italy, and UV care has become an essential part of my routine, what with my skin being sensitive and prone to irritation."
