I am in Japan now for 2 weeks and decided from day 1 to buy products and try them so that while I’m still here I able to get more.
I have oily combination skin, my hair is normal and then gets greasy around day 3, I am a huge makeup and skincare addict.
Here are 4 products that I highly recommend after trying out a few things:
Sunscreen: No color powdery UV cream by365. I tried this out randomly as I was browsing sunscreens and liked the texture and feel. I wear makeup regularly so I don’t want anything that will pill, dry out, or leave a white cast. This sunscreen blends out like butter, leaves a soft matte finish, and most of all seems to keep the oil on my nose at bay after all day wear. I think initially people get scared bc it comes out looking like it will be thick and pasty but it’s not! Once blended it’s disappears and leaves behind a nice velvet finish.
Concred Hair Treatment: I bought the pack of packets to try it out. So far I really like how clean my scalp felt and how soft my hair was. I’m not a daily washer so this plus their shampoo made my hair feel luxurious. My scalp is clean and my hair is shiny after use. (Disclaimer: I heard that Japan uses water softener?) so I’m not sure if this attributes to it? In any case I’m buying the big bottles before I leave.
Lips: Retinotime Wrinkle Lip Essence and Plumper. My lips get dry easily and get those flakes. I’ve been using this and I love how thin the texture is. It leaves a nice glossy shine and a cool minty feeling to your lips. My lips have stayed moisturized throughout the day. I’ve been reaching for this daily since I got here and will be buying more.
Premium Gold Tweezers: I don’t know the brand name. It just says premium on the box but these tweezers outshine my Tweezerman and Anastasia ones back home. They grab the tiniest hairs and pluck them without breaking. Love the durability and ease of use.
There are things I’ve tried that I don’t love and I can list those in a separate post.
