Lisa, Houston Texas: ''Best Soap Ever!... My daughter was stationed in Japan for 2 years, where she got me hooked on Japanese products. This is the best soap I ever used. I also have some of your bath salts. People must try them, they are the best and I have tried many different salts from other companies.'' Item 5013: Sumi Haigou Settuken Charcoal Bar Soap - 3 bars, 135g each
D. Pawl 'mariposarosa2', Seattle, WA: ''this product is great!... At first, I wondered about rice bran and its effectiveness as a cleanser for skin. It made sense, but I had never used it before. Previously, I had found oatmeal to be a very effective detoxifier for my skin, when I had a bad skin rash. It pulled out the toxins very quickly and my skin felt so healthy!
The ingredients for this great product, put out by Komenuka Bijin Facial Cleansing Powder are: rice bran extract, aloe extract, seaweed extract and coconut oil. That's right....all natural ingredients that you can very easily pronounce (unlike some skin care products whose moisturizers, cleansers and toners consist predominantly of chemicals, engineered in a lab, that are tested quite heartlessly on innocent lab animals). The great thing about this gentle scrub is that it doesn't take much to be effective. In fact, they reccomend that you use only 1/3 of a packet of the product, then mix it with warm water in your hand and apply it directly to the face. You can feel the cleansing powder work almost immediately. For me, my skin felt a lot cleaner, once I had massaged it in. Once I rinsed it off, my skin was so soft. There aren't any fruit acids, here, to burn and add abrasion to the delicate facial skin. Also, my face felt firmer and looked smoother. Great product! Yes, it's a little pricey, but a little goes a long way and it's very effective!'' Item 4008-30: Komenuka Bijin Facial Cleansing Powder from Natural Rice Bran - 30 Packs
Jill, California: ''Yummy!... I LOVE gummies - but these are a little different. Not too sweet like other gummies, and the intense fruit flavors are amazing! Oh yea, they don't seem to get stuck in my teeth as much either!'' Item 9007: Japanese Fruit Gummy Candy from Kasugai - Mango - 102g
Norma, D.C: ''Naive = Refreshing... I received this one as a sample and I quickly bought another one. This is a very refreshing cleansing foam and that doesn't dry out the skin. My oily face is happy and balanced every time I try it!
While it isn't the best-best,as it doesn't outdo Komenuka Bijin's Cleansing Foam [item 4001] or Rice Packets, it is a basic cleaning the face's first step to your daily facial treatment.'' Item 4073: Naive Aloe Facial Cleansing Foam by Kracie - 110g
Hlover1, USA: ''World's most awesome wash cloth... I bought the Salux cloth for travel and based on the recommendation of others, cut it in half to make it the size of an American wash cloth. Before I went out of town, I had to try it out first. The lather is rich, it is easy to rinse out, and it scrubs well without being too harsh. I now carry one half in my travel nag and permanently replaced my home shower poof with the other. Even with shipping, this thing is a bargain and it seems to hold up very well. If you are on the fence, do yourself a favor and get it now.'' Item 7027: Salux Nylon Japanese Beauty Skin Bath Wash Cloth/Towel - Turquoise Blue
Dehlia, Denver, CO: ''Best bath salts I've had... I've been using this for almost 2 years now and I love love love them! They smell wonderful, leave your skin silky smooth, and stimulate warmth in your body.
I am a huge fan of baths. A lot of people in the western world stop taking baths by about puberty, as it is seen as an activity reserved for children and not as effective in cleaning or as quick as a shower. However, bathing culture is completely different in East Asia, where individuals continue to use bathtubs as part of their daily routine well into adulthood. It is seen as a place of relaxation and rest, more than an act of cleaning. One of the best places for this activity in Japan is a natural hot spring (Onsen). However, naturally occurring hot springs aren?t exactly something every person can access, so how do we get the benefits of a hot spring in our own homes?
Enter the Tabi no Yoda hot spring bath salts, made and sold right out of Japan with minerals directly from the source. They come in either a clear or ?milky? variety, and this package has the clear bath salts.
Out of the myriad of bath powders, salts, and gels I have used, these are by far my favorite. Each little packet represents a famous Japanese Onsen and the minerals in that particular hot spring. They?re identifiable by their soft, pleasant scents and milky colors.
Bathing in these bath salts is as if you?ve been transported right into the hot spring, and you feel yourself sinking into the bliss as soon as you enter the bath. Not only is it a comforting experience, it is also a beneficial one. The minerals are said to relax the muscles and stimulate nerves, warming up the body and keeping it warm. For this reason, I really enjoy using these in the winter time when my body needs to retain as much heat as it can. After the bath, you will immediately notice how the scent lingers on your skin for the rest of the day, and makes it silky smooth, as well.
I give these a 10 out of 10. They are heavenly to use, and I?ll purchase them for as long as I can.'' Item 3069: Tabino Yado Hot Springs Clear Bath Salts Assortment Pack from Kracie (15 25g Packets, 375g total)
