KB Rotenyu Meguri Japanese Body Scrub

When I watch Naruto (manga/anime series) before I always want to also go to a hot spring complete with a towel in the head and just relax.  I did once finally in Coron in an open area one with the nature (sans the towel since I was not prepared) and it was oh so good, it's just so relaxing and it made my skin soft and smooth instantly.  Wouldn't it be nice to experience it every now and then?

After a stressful and sore (because I practice yoga again) week, I finally used the KB Rotenyu Meguri Japanese Body Scrub (the blue one) which was given to me by KB/Yumeimise.  Okay to be honest I thought that this is just like the scrubs that you apply directly on the skin but this is more like the salt scrub or the bath bombs that you dissolve on a hot water but this only this one from KB says to have the following effects:

"KB Rotenyu Meguri Japanese Body Scrub is good for removing dead skin. It also removes unattractive body odors. This multi-purpose scrub may help relieve the following conditions: Heat rash, eczema, pimples, chapped skin, frost bite, dry skin, bruise, sprain, shoulder stiffness, nerve pain, rheumatism, lumbago, sensitivity to cold, hemorrhoid, coldness before/ after giving birth."

To use, just mix the the scrub to 200ml hot water (hot but tolerable) and sink into your bath tub, in my case I have to slowly pour it into my body because...well I do not have a tub.  For a more relaxing feel,  I put a face mask and a hair mask on and a towel on top of my head and let the faucet slowly drip some droplets of water.  After 5 minutes, I started to gently rub my skin and there goes some dead skin cells.  Instant effect includes skin smoothening and relieving of stiff and sore shoulders.

KB Rotenyu Meguri Japanese Body Scrub has 4 variants:  Green, Blue, Orange and Fuschia Pink which actually represents the color of the scrubs.  The blue one has an herby-florally scent which didn't appeal to me at first but became a relaxing smell in the end.  A 30g sachets cost 69 pesos and if you have questions or wanted to know more about this scrub and other KB products, you may contact this number: 09178005836 or visit these websites: www.ilovekb.com or www.yumeimise.net.

Snoe White Oatmeal Scrub

It's been a long time since I posted a Snoe product probably because the remnants of magic Apple is still fresh in my memory and there's still some evidences left in my body.  But I have to exfoliate my skin and this cute bottle is just lying steadily on my closet and thought that maybe it's time to put it in the bathroom.

Snoe White Exfoliating Oatmeal Milk Whitening Scrub

The two main ingredients are Oatmeal and Milk

label at the back

from Snoe's official website

So it's a salt scrub with real oats and walnut shells.  I just hope that Snoe infused the oatmeal extract in the salt but I'm not seeing it in the list of ingredients.  The oatmeals are kind of useless because it just fall off my skin unless I put some water first in the scrub before applying it on my skin.  Anyway, I love the smell of this scrub as the combination  of ingredients reminds me of a vanilla cake, yummy!

small scoop inside

Yes, there's a small scoop which is not really a useful thing to me.  I'm not aware of the scoop because it's buried inside.  Almost 1/4 cup of scrub fall off the ground (wasted) when I pulled the scoop so be careful.  I think since this is already in a plastic bottle, it's better to just pour it in the hands.

salt scrub+oatmeal+wallnut shells

All the salt scrubs that I used leaves my skin feeling smooth and soft and this one also has the same effect.  Not sure with the whitening part since I already have fair skin but I think it helps in whitening some darker areas of my body like my elbows and knees.  Caution: do not use this if you have open and newly healed wounds, it will surely sting and if signs of irritation occur, please discontinue using it (I learned this the hard way).
Thinking that salt scrub is too harsh for the skin?  Then why not mix 1 part of this scrub to 1 part of lotion.

I love the handy bottle and smell of this scrub but if I compare it's price to other salt scrubs that has the same effect, then this I think is a bit expensive at P349 for 300ml and the only reason why I got this is the oatmeal part (which disappoints me) which has been really good to my face.

Saizen Face Washing Brush

So here's the face washing brush/pad that I use on a daily or every other day basis, a simple almost heart shape pad made of silicon from Saizen.

Saizen Face Washing Brush

I nicked this from my sister (hehehe, anyway she have 2 of these now).  This I guess is best for those with sensitive skin like me because of it's soft small bristles that doesn't irritate the skin.  This does not surely remove blackheads and will only loosen up the whiteheads from the skin but it sure does help in foaming up my cleanser and give a gentle massage and exfoliation to my face.

a closer look of the bristles

There's another version of this pad but looking into the pictures from Saizen's Facebook page, I prefer the handle of this one as I just have to insert it between my pointer and middle finger.

back part

Very gentle exfoliation + light massage~ check!  I can't afford to have an exfoliator machine so I'm good with this for now.

Thanks for reading.  Till then.  Bye!

Usage:  As replacement of Bath Soap, scrub it all over your skin while it's dry.  The scrubs will remove impurities, dead skin & dirt.  Rinse with fresh water.  Frequent usage gives maximum effect.

creamy with generous amount of small transparent particles

I hate the smell of this scrub.  It's overpowering that it irritates not only my nose but also my brother's as well.  It is also hard to spread while the skin is dry so I always dampen my body first prior to using this.  What I like though is the instant effects it gives.  I really feel that it removes dead skin cells as it whitens my skin and leaving it smooth, soft and moisturize.  It's also very affordable at P70 for 100ml.  Not bad right?

Thanks for reading.  Till then.  Bye!
