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 has the clear bath salts.
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 3069: Tabino Yado Hot Springs Clear Bath Salts Assortment Pack from Kracie (15 25g Packets, 375g total)
Mom in WA, Seattle: ''My kids love it... My daughter likes it on her cheeks after bath, and then makes everyone feel how 'smooooth' she is. My son grabs a bit on his finger, so he can eat it. I checked the ingredients and everything is more or less edible! So while I wouldn't recommend it as a snack, it certainly is good enough to be one!'' Item 4016: Komenuka Bijin All-Natural Skin Care Body Cream with Rice Bran - 140g
K.T., South Carolina: ''Good way to test product... I came across this product after reading about how great rice bran was for the skin. I wanted to try the product line, but I thought it was a little pricey and I didn't want to buy it and have the money go to waste if I didn't like it.
I tried the facial cleanser, and it is really nice. It is not like other foaming cleansers out there. Its more creamy and when you rinse and pat dry, your face is really moisturized afterwards. I then tried the facial lotion and that lotion is perfect for my skin. I have oily skin and the lotion minimized the pores and made it really soft. After the moisturizer sank into my skin and was absorbed, I noticed that my skin looked brighter and more radiant. It also makes my makeup go on really smooth.
The eye jell is excellent also. It really moisturizes your delicate eye area without being too greasy.
I also like the skin care cream. Its really thick and creamy but not oily. It sinks into your skin and makes it soft and supple.
The shampoo really clarifies and the conditioner makes your locks really soft.
The set also comes with an instruction pamplet and a little gift. (A bag of green tea). All in all, a great product.
Overall I think this sample set is a good way to test the products to see which ones you like.'' Item 4009-f: Komenuka Bijin 10-Product Trial/Sample Set from Rice Bran
Lisa Winkenwerder, VISTA, CA: ''Absolutely Awesome!... I really like the Komenuka Bijin line, and the trial samples helped me figure out exactly which moisturizer or cleanser works better for my skin. I have very oily skin, and since using the toner/foam wash/moisturizer, it's cut the oil in half! I still have oily skin (I don't eat as well as I should), but I'm not blotting my face every half hour, more like 3 hours ...very happy!''
