Rice Bran Bag
〔Price〕380 yen
Do you know that rice bran has skin-beautifying effect?
In the 17th century, women in Japan believed that washing their face with rice bran bags made their skin beautiful, and have been inherited for a long time by women as a method of caring the skin until around the early 20th century when soap becomes popular. The embryo portion of the outer skin of seed that is taken when polishing brown rice into white rice is “rice bran”. It contains plenty of effective ingredients for making beautiful skin.
Soak it into water or warm water. It is creamy when you touch it, but the 100% natural moisturizing ingredient “rice bran extract (Oryzaburan)” which is taken out is said to have the effect of wound treatment, prevention of sagging of the skin, improvement of rough skin. It also has the effect of keeping the moisture content of the skin constant, giving moist moisture to the skin and keeping it smooth.
Wash your skin lightly like massaging without scrubbing. As you continue to use it, your skin will change! When you finish washing, squeeze it lightly and keep it in a well-ventilated place.
Satsuma Natural Pumice Stone (fine details)
〔Price〕240 yen
Have you encounter the accidents like “my heel is rustling” or “it hurts to crack!” This is a pumice that washes off the extra old skin. Because the texture is very fine and the shape is also good, you can care your skin without damage.
In Japan, you can see it at hot-spring. First, soften your foot skin with hot water and softly rub it with a pumice. When you put too much force, it will give stimulus directly to the skin, so please go in the manner of massaging. If you continue using it for about 1 to 2 weeks, you will definitely get the clean and smooth skin!
Foam Net
〔Price〕340 yen
This is what you use to make foam when you wash your face. Because it is a soft net, you can make plenty of fine foams even just using small amounts of soap. Also, because it has a point on its top, it is easy to twist out the foam and it is very convenient. Because it is compact size that is easy to use and easy to carry, it will be a necessary good for travel.
I love to use it because it is very easy to make foams!
