Do you double-cleanse? As an avid makeup and sunscreen user that has tried many types of products over the years, I can whole-heartedly say that I haven’t found a better method to get rid of makeup, gunk, sebum and other debris. For those unfamiliar with double cleansing method, it means you cleanse your skin twice; first with an oil-based cleanser and then follow up with a water-based cleanser. A good first cleanser therefore must be able to break apart the makeup & sunscreen in a fast and gentle way without leaving much residue.

A beauty product made by a sake brewery? I guess in Japan anything is possible! Fukumitsuya Sake Brewery has been making high-quality sake in Kanazawa since 1625 using natural mineral water, superior sake rice and traditional brewing skills. After learning about the preserving qualities of rice, they created an entire skin care line using pure sake rice as the key ingredient.
