My sister brought this soap to me on her recent visit from Japan. I was in desperate need of a new facial cleanser. This green apple scented bar packs some serious Alpha Hydroxy Acid punch. I don’t see how I can go back to my Cetaphil cleanser after using a soap that leaves my skin feeling so fresh, clean and alive.

Also, one thing I love about being in another country is going to the grocery store and finding all the interesting products you never see back home. That’s what it’s like visiting a website like Ohayo. I loved their description of the Japanese version of Spanx, called the Hip UP Massage Pant. It involves a promise to kindly wrap up your “extra meat”.
