16 Best Japanese Beauty Products I Purchased in Japan - Drugstore, Discount Store, Daiso and Amazon Japan

Japanese Beauty Haul

As I mentioned in my previous entry, my husband and I have visited Japan this winter. While I was staying in Japan, I purchased a lot of Japanese beauty products which have so many positive reviews in Japan. Today, I'm going to share with you what I purchased at drugstores, discount store, Daiso and Amazon Japan. Many of them are really popular and have won many beauty awards in Japan, so if you are planning on visiting Japan, you should check these products there. :) As I mentioned in my previous entry, 7 Products I Purchased at Muji Store in Japan - Muji Haul, I also purchased some beauty products at Muji.

1. Keana Nadeshiko Rice Mask (毛穴撫子お米のマスク)

・It has Japanese Sake scent.

Wafood Made Sake Kasu Mask was chosen one of the best facial masks by LDK Beauty Magazine, a Japanese beauty magazine, and is also very popular in Japan. I purchased this face mask at Donki. I am not sure if you like it because it has Japanese sake scent, but sake kasu is very good for your skin and health. If you don't know what sake kasu is, you can check my previous entry, Japanese Winter Soup - Kasujiru, Sake Lee Miso Soup.

Wafood Made Sake Kasu Pack is also very popular in Japan. I heard that after Fan Bingbing, a Chinese actress and model, mentioned Sake Kasu Pack in her Weibo, and it became very popular for Chinese people. Many Chinese tourists have been purchasing Sake Kasu Pack in Japan. This Sake Kasu Pack is paste, so you need to rinse thoroughly after applying it on your face.

How to Use Sake Kasu Pack
1. Apply an adequate amount (as large as one cherry) on dry skin, after cleansing. Avoid applying on eye and lips areas.
2. Leave on for 5 to 10 minutes.
3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

I really love Saborino Morning Facial Mask series because it's a "60-second" facial mask. It's very easy and quick to apply this facial mask in busy morning. It moisturizes your skin well in the morning, and makeup stays better on all day. Saborino facial mask has also won many beauty awards in Japan. I purchased this facial mask on the first day of this Japan travel, and I enjoyed using it every morning and night while I was there. ;)

Fancl Deep Clear Washing Powder (ファンケルディープクリア洗顔パウダー)

Fancl Deep Clear Washing Powder is enzyme facial cleansing powder. This one was just released last year and has won many beauty awards in Japan. One of the reasons why people love this one is that it's very gentle to your skin, so you can use it every day. (You probably know that Fancl is a Japanese company makes preservative-free skincare products for women who have sensitive skins.) I washed my face with this one, and it cleans my pores very well. If you try this one, I recommend you to use a Japanese foaming net which allow you to create very thick foam very quickly.

Kanebo Allie Extra UV Gel SPF50+ PA++++ (カネボウアリィ― エキストラ UV ジェル)

I really love Kanebo Allie sunscreen because it truly works! This sunscreen is SPF50+ PA++++ and is perfect for long hours outdoor activities such as hiking. This time, I ordered this Allie Extra UV Gel SPF50+ PA++++ on Amazon Japan and picked up my order at a convenience store, which was located near our hotel. It's because I thought that it might be a little difficult to find some sunscreens at small drugstores in Japan during winter. (If you go to Japan in summer, you can see that many drugstores carry a wide selection of sunscreen products.) If you are interested in shopping on Amazon Japan, you can check out my previous entry, Is It Good or Bad? - Amazon Japan Convenience Store Pickup.

I also ordered this Nivea Sun Water Gel SPF35 PA++++ on Amazon Japan. I usually wear Japanese sunscreen with SPF around 30 because SPF30 is effective enough for daily use and is more gentle than high SPF sunscreen. I love this sunscreen because the texture is very light and is also very effective!

14. Systema Toothbrush Four Columns Compact Toothbrushes (システマ歯ブラシ 4列コンパクト)
Toothbrushes
198 yen per toothbrush at a drugstore (Daikoku Drug) in Japan.

Systema Toothbrush Four Columns Compact Toothbrushes (システマ歯ブラシ 4列コンパクト)

I purchased these Systema Toothbrushes at a drugstore. Because Systema toothbrushes are very popular in Japan, these were limited to three per customer at many drugstores. I really love Systema toothbrushes because the bristles of these toothbrushes are extremely thin, so the bristles can reach deep between gum and teeth.

Hakugen Yutapon Microwavable Pillow L Size (白元アースレンジでゆたぽん Lサイズ)

I purchased this Hakugen Yutapon Microwavable Pillow L Size at Donki. Actually, I had also purchased this one in previous winter, and I have been really enjoying using it during cold seasons. I have some Japanese microwavable warmers, and this is seriously the best warmer I've ever purchased! I thought that my husband and I need two Hakugen Yutapon Microwavable Pillows because he often asked me if he could use this one. That's why we purchased this one again. :) This is the largest microwavable Japanese warmer (approximately 14 x 9 inches), and it can keep warming for 7 hours!

16. Japanese Sanitary Pads and Pantyliners

Japanese sanitary pads are very well made and also very popular for Asian foreign tourists. When I visit Japan, I always purchase a lot of sanitary pads and pantyliners. As I mentioned in my previous entry, most women prefer to use pads rather than tampons in Japan. That's why many Japanese manufacture companies have tried to improve sanitary pads. 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. I think that you will be surprised that sanitary pads are incredibly affordable in Japan! Indeed, most paper products such as baby diapers, facial tissue and sanitary pads are always affordable there.
