Quite literally, because the secret is lip scrub, a (typically) sugar-based exfoliant made to restore your pout. And if you're not sure what product we're alluding to, you're in for a treat. Just like there are face masks and packs available in a multitude of flavors, Choosy makes a moist lip pack that you apply over your lips and let soak in for a few minutes (or until dry).We all know the struggle of dealing with chapped lips and needing a quick fix before applying makeup or doing your skincare.
If you feel like your lips need some extra care though, you could always try doing a lip pack. Personally, I use Vaseline Lip Therapy which come in either metal tins or mini versions of the blue-capped Vaseline bottles, and cost from ¥450-700. If not, Nivea Deep Moist lip balm is about ¥600. Lush also has their own line of lip balms which are a good match with their scrubs if you feel like splurging a little. There are plenty of recipes online for DIY sugar scrubs, or you can pick up a 1 Day Tattoo brand lip scrub stick (comes in peach or lemon flavor) for about ¥1,000 yen, or one of Lush’s lip scrubs, which are about ¥1,200 per pot. Anything you recommend? – Not KissableĪ good lip scrub can do wonders.

I put balm on them all the time, but they always look cracked and dry. I noticed that both matte lipsticks and glosses are in right now in Japan, but my lips are in such horrible shape. Prices vary on these, since they can come in different sizes, but since summer is fast approaching, they might be on sale soon. Or you could consider trying a mousse or spray that adds volume, like ProStyle Funwari Volume Up hair mousse, or Liese Volume Spray. Sometimes you can get both bottles in sets for around ¥1,000, so you should check your nearest drug store or Don Quijote for any deals. Try choosing a shampoo and conditioner set that adds volume, like Tsubaki Volume Touch or Essential Funwari TsuruTsuya. If you want to add volume to your hair to combat the humidity, you will probably need to completely change your hair care routine for the summer months. Any Japanese products that will take care of this? – I Hate Summer I used to order this stuff from back home to help it, but it’s too troublesome now.
It gets so flat in the summer and always looks greasy. It’s a little more pricey than Skinlife, around ¥900 per tube, but as you don’t need to use it as often, it’s pretty cost effective. If you want something that you can use once or twice a week alongside a non-acne based beauty routine, then you should try Tsururi Ghassoul Paste, which is a deep pore cleanser made with ghassoul clay and sea salt - it’s basically a foaming scrub wash that really gets the gross-out of your skin.

You can use this one every day if you’re having skin troubles, but it can sometimes be drying if you don’t moisturize carefully. They also have a lotion to go with their cleansers too. They have two types of foaming facial cleansers, one in a pump bottle and one in a tube (that you have to foam up with a sponge), and both cost less than ¥800. Skinlife Medicated Acne Care has been around since 1963 and my friend’s mother first recommended it for the same problem. Some stores even carry Clearasil spot treatment, but for a face wash, there are a few different options. In most pharmacies, you can find nikibi kea (ニキビケア acne care) products alongside their regular face washes. You have plenty of options to choose from. I break out easily, especially around that time of the month. I brought my own cosmetics from home (I miss Sephora so much!) but I’m having trouble finding a good face wash.
