Sheepish, US: ''Skin feels good.... I love how this soap makes my skin feel. I have a mild condition that requires a topical steroid cream and this doesn't seem to bother it at all, in fact I've noticed when I use it my skin doesn't need the cream as often, if at all.'' Item 5013: Sumi Haigou Settuken Charcoal Bar Soap - 3 bars, 135g each
Dehlia, Denver, CO: ''Best bath salts I've had... I've been using this for almost 2 years now and I love love love them! They smell wonderful, leave your skin silky smooth, and stimulate warmth in your body.
I am a huge fan of baths. A lot of people in the western world stop taking baths by about puberty, as it is seen as an activity reserved for children and not as effective in cleaning or as quick as a shower. However, bathing culture is completely different in East Asia, where individuals continue to use bathtubs as part of their daily routine well into adulthood. It is seen as a place of relaxation and rest, more than an act of cleaning. One of the best places for this activity in Japan is a natural hot spring (Onsen). However, naturally occurring hot springs aren’t exactly something every person can access, so how do we get the benefits of a hot spring in our own homes?
Enter the Tabi no Yoda hot spring bath salts, made and sold right out of Japan with minerals directly from the source. They come in either a clear or “milky” variety, and this package happens to be of the milky kind.
Out of the myriad of bath powders, salts, and gels I have used, these are by far my favorite. Each little packet represents a famous Japanese Onsen and the minerals in that particular hot spring. They’re identifiable by their soft, pleasant scents and milky colors.
Bathing in these bath salts is as if you’ve been transported right into the hot spring, and you feel yourself sinking into the bliss as soon as you enter the bath. Not only is it a comforting experience, it is also a beneficial one. The minerals are said to relax the muscles and stimulate nerves, warming up the body and keeping it warm. For this reason, I really enjoy using these in the winter time when my body needs to retain as much heat as it can. After the bath, you will immediately notice how the scent lingers on your skin for the rest of the day, and makes it silky smooth, as well.
I give these a 10 out of 10. They are heavenly to use, and I’ll purchase them for as long as I can.'' Item 3070: Tabino Yado Hot Springs ''Milky'' Bath Salts Assortment Pack from Kracie (13 25g Packets, 325g total)
Elizabeth B, HOUSTON, TX: ''Awesome, affordable bath salts!... Awesome, affordable bath products! The Shikon bath salts are a delight to the senses as is the Hinoki (Cypress)! The packaging are these beautiful tins covered in Japanese style artwork and look great sitting by my bathtub (I have purchased 5!).
In light of the recent disaster in Japan, I would recommend that everyone try these bath salts... you won't be disappointed.'' Item 3063: Bath Roman Natural SkinCare "Forest" Japanese Bath Salts - 680g

Kate Robinson, near Boston, MA: ''excellent product!... This soap was to replace some other charcoal-based soap I used in the past. I will not go back to the other brand, now, actually. The soap is not only mild, but also has a light fragrance that is non-irritating. It cleans thoroughly and has very light exfoliating granules that enhance its feel when used for washing.
My order was also processed promptly and what arrived was exactly as described.
The soap also lasts a long time, making it a good value.'' Item 5013: Sumi Haigou Settuken Charcoal Bar Soap - 3 bars, 135g each
