3 Best Japanese Enzyme Powder Cleansers to Minimize Your Skin Pores

      Shopping great products in Japan is one of my favorite ways to enjoy Japan travel. Finally, my husband and I are going to visit Japan this coming winter! That's why I'm making a shopping list for Japanese beauty products. :) This time, I would like to purchase Japanese enzyme powder cleansers in Japan. I've read some Japanese beauty magazines every month, and I read many reviews on Japanese beauty products on @comse and Amazon Japan. After reading a lot of articles and reviews, I found some highly rated beauty products. Today, I'm going to share with you three best Japanese enzyme powder cleansers to minimize your skin pores.  




1. Kanebo Suisai Beauty Clear Powder (Kanebo スイサイ ビューティクリアーパウダー 薬用酵素洗顔パウダー)
32 pieces for 2,100 yen
15 pieces for 1,050 yen
Can be purchased at many drugstores in Japan.
Kanebo Suisai Beauty Clear Powder
       Kanebo Suisai Beauty Clear Powder is enzyme facial cleansing powder. This was first released in 2005 and has been always popular in Japan. Indeed, it has been selected the best facial cleansing award by many Japanese beauty magazines and @cosme.
Kanebo Suisai Beauty Clear Powder
      It contains two kinds of enzymes, protease and lipase, which dissolve blackheads and improves your skin condition. Always foam up Suisai Clear Powder with your hands or a Japanese foaming net. (Japanese cosmetic companies and beauty magazines always recommend to wash your face with plenty of thick foam.) You can wash your face with Suisai Beauty Clear Powder a few times a week.

     I'm currently using Kanebo Suisai Beauty Clear Powder once a week, and I really love it. It really cleans my skin! In order to create plenty of foam, I always use Daiso foaming net for this enzyme powder cleanser. :)






2. Fancl Deep Clear Washing Powder (ファンケル ディープ クリア 洗顔パウダー)
30 pieces for 1,944 yen
Can be purchased at many drugstores, convenience stores and some department stores in Japan.
Fancl Deep Clear Washing Powder
        Fancl Deep Clear Washing Powder is enzyme facial cleansing powder. It contains enzyme,  protease, which dissolve blackheads. It is also formulated with charcoal and clay to help remove impurities from your skin. Always foam up Fancl Deep Clear Washing Powder with your hands or a Japanese foaming net. If you have stubborn blackheads, you can wash your face with it everyday (once a day) because it's pretty gentle to your skin. If you have sensitive skin, you can use it a few times a week. (Enzyme facial cleansing powder is usually pretty strong, thus, I recommend you to wash your face with it one to two times a week.)
Fancl Deep Clear Washing Powder
      Fancl Deep Clear Washing Powder was just released in May this year and became very popular in Japan. It has already won beauty awards in many Japanese beauty magazines this year!

      I am very interested in this product and would like to purchase this one in Japan!









3. Obagi C Powder Wash (オバジC 酵素洗顔パウダー)
30 pieces for 1,944 yen
Can be purchased at many drugstores in Japan.
Obagi C Powder Wash
     Obagi C Powder Wash is enzyme facial cleansing powder. It contains two kinds of enzymes, protease and lipase, which dissolve blackheads and improves your skin condition. It is also formulated with vitamin C to keep your skin smooth and hydrated. Always foam up Fancl Deep Clear Washing Powder with your hands or a Japanese foaming net. Obagi C Powder Wash can be also used everyday (once a day), but I recommend you to use it one to two times a week. 
Obagi C Powder Wash
     Obagi C Powder Wash was first released in 2017 and was selected the best face washing product of 2018 by @cosme. 








You Might Want to Have Japanese Foaming Net for Enzyme Powder Cleansers!
Japanese Foaming Net
     As I mentioned in my previous entry, Top 5 Life-Changing Japanese Beauty Products, washing your face with plenty of lather is the most gentle way to clean your face. If you have never used Japanese foaming net, you should try one! It allow you to create very thick foam very quickly with only tiny amount of a facial cleansing product. If you are in Japan, you can find foaming net at most drugstores, Muji, Daiso and so on!

Korean Beauty Haul - A Good Hair Day of Seoul

 A Good Hair Day of Seoul
     Costco has started selling this set of Korean haircare products, A Good Hair Day of Seoul, for $99.99 this year. A few weeks ago, I found that it was on sale for $29.97 at my local Costco! When I found it at the store, I couldn't miss out on this deal! This was the final sale at the store, and it's already sold out Costco online. I think that some Costco stores are perhaps still selling them, but I guess that these will be sold out very quickly. If you are interested in this product, you can also find ones on eBay and Amazon now.
 A Good Hair Day of Seoul
      This huge box contains 7 pieces of Korean haircare products. I've just used its night cream so far and was impressed that it really made my hair silky and smooth. I thought they were very affordable but in high-end quality. I'm glad that I got this set at Costco! :)  Today, I'm going to share with you what products in this beautiful box.

【Hike】Dana Point Headlands - Dana Point, CA

Dana Cove
     As I mentioned in my previous entry, I purchased this book, 50 Hikes in Orange County, to enjoy Orange County hikes. This book has information on 50 hiking trails in Orange County.


     During my previous hike, my husband and I were able to watch endangered green sea turtles in San Gabriel River located in Seal Beach.  :)  This time, we decided to hike Dana Point Headlands. It's been a while since we visited Dana Point last time. Two years ago, we went to Dana Point for whale watching and were able to see a large school of common dolphins swimming along with our boat, and we were also able to see some whales in 2013.



Parking
      Dana Point has many free parking spaces. We wanted to find a parking space near Harbor Point Conservation Park, but the road near the park was closed that day, so we eventually parked at Dana Dr Parking, a free parking lot, and we walked up to Harbor Point Park for 30 minutes or so.

       We really enjoyed hiking in Dana Point. That day, I walked over 15,000 steps (6 miles). It was a great exercise for me. Next time, I would like to hike here in spring. It must be very beautiful with wildflowers blooming on the Dana Point Headlands. :)
