My Shopping List for Japanese Beauty Products - What I Want to Get in Japan

This coming winter, my husband and I are finally going to visit Japan. During staying Japan, I want to get some Japanese beauty products.

This time, we will visit his parents' home and will take all our belongings to the U.S. We left too many stuffs in closets in their home when we moved to the U.S. from Japan. His parents have been trying to downsize to prepare for retirement these years, so I though that we shouldn't leave our belongings there any longer. That's why our suitcases might not have enough spaces for my shopping in Japan. I just listed what I want to buy in Japan, but I might need to remove some of them from the list. Anyway, I'm going to share my shopping list related to Japanese beauty products with you.

Makeup Remover : As I mentioned in my previous entry, I usually purchase Kose Softymo Cleansing Oil in Japan. However, this time, I want to try Shiseido Senka Perfect Oil Whip for my first time. This new makeup remover has been very popular in Japan.

Facial Cleanser : Last year (here and here), I got five Japanese facial cleansers and loved all of them. I'm about to use up my Sengan Pasta Rosette Cleansing Muddy Sea Smooth. This time, I would like to buy Shiseido Senka Perfect Whip or AHA Wash Cleansing. When I lived in Japan, I often bought Shiseido Senka Perfect Whip, which you can make very thick creamy form with. AHA Wash Cleansing is also very popular in Japan and contains natural fruit enzymes, which dissolve blackheads and improves your skin condition. If you love Kanebo Suisai Beauty Clear Powder, which also has enzymes, you might like AHA Wash Cleansing as well.

Japanese Lotion (Keshosui) : When I visit Japan, I always purchase Muji Light Toning Water, which is very affordable and moisturize your skin well. Muji products can be purchased at Muji branches or Family Mart convenience stores in Japan.

Japanese Lotion (Nyueki) : I have been using Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion for many years, but I would like to try Minon Amino Moist Charge Milk next. This Minon nyueki has been ranked number one as the best nyueki awards in Japan many times.

Pore Minimizer : I would like to try Meishoku Pore Clear Blackhead Removing Gel because it has so many positive reviews in Japan. It's warming gel to help to remove blackheads. It contains orange oil, which cleanses pores, and ghassoul, which absorbs dirt from pores. Warming gel opens up pores, and orange oil and ghassoul dissolve and remove stubborn cloggers.

Sunscreen : I would like to buy Japanese sunscreen with SPF around 30 because it's more gentle than SPF 50. SPF 30 sunscreen is effective enough for daily use. My husband and I have tried Nivea Sun Protection Water Gel SPF 35, Nivea Sun Protect Water Gel for Kids SPF 28, Biore Sarasara UV Mild Care Milk SPF 30, and so on, and we loved all of them. I'm not sure which one we will buy next. In addition to lotion sunscreen, I want to buy powder sunscreen in Japan. I will purchase Kanebo Allie Mineral UV Cut Powder or Privacy Uv Face Powder. During winter, most drugstores in Japan don't have a wide selection of sunscreens, so I will order sunscreen products from Amazon Japan a week before visiting Japan, and I will pick them up at convenience stores there.

Daiso Product : There are Daiso branches in the U.S. Compared to Daiso branches in Japan, US branches don't carry a wide selection of beauty products. I still cannot find my favorite Daiso Detergent Cleaning for Markup Puff and Sponge here, so when I visit Japan, I purchase one at Daiso.

Makeup Sponge : I've been using Beautyblender for many years, but I would like to try Tofu Love Professional Makeup Sponge next. You can purchase this makeup sponge at Loft, Tokyu Hands and some drugstores in Japan. However, it's very popular and often sold out at stores, it's pretty hard to find it in Japan. That's why I will order it on Amazon Japan before going to Japan.

Travel Skincare Set : I don't want to take all my skincare products to Japan because I will buy Japanese beauty products there anyway. Most convenience stores in Japan has travel skincare sets and open 24/7. I am planing on purchasing one on the day I arrive in Japan. I am not sure which travel skincare set I will buy though.

Shampoo & Conditioner : I would like to purchase Kao Asience Meguri trial size, and I will use them during my travel in Japan. Meguri has so many positive reviews on Amazon Japan and @cosme, a Japanese cosmetic review site. Meguri was selected the best hair care awards by more than 13 beauty and women's magazines in Japan!

Microwavable Warming Pillow : During cold season, I always appreciate Japanese microwavable warmers which make me happy indeed. This time, I would like purchase the largest one, Hakugen Yutapon Microwavable Pillow L Size. During winter, Japanese drugstores has a wide selection of warmer products.

Sanitary Pads & Pantyliners : Japanese sanitary pads and pantyliners are really well made. Because I live in the U.S. now, I used some US sanitary pads for years. I noticed that Japanese sanitary pads are the best (seriously). Even when I have a heavy period, I don't feel wet with wearing a Japanese pad because it instantly absorbs blood and stays dry. In addition, Japanese paper products are really affordable. I would like to buy some this time. :) If you have a baby, I also recommend your baby to try Japanese baby diapers.

Toothbrushes : A Japanese toothbrush has a very small head. You might think it's for babies or small children, but it's actually for adults. The small head allows to brush hard to reach area. In addition, some Japanese toothbrushes such as Systema Toothbrushes have extremely thin bristles, so the bristles can reach deep between gum and teeth. I would like buy some toothbrushes in Japan.
