Steam Facial Washing Towel

¥1,980 (tax included)

A skincare tool developed with hair and makeup artist Hiromi Yamamoto as a product advisor. This Imabari towel is designed for use with the "Steam ON GAN" method of warming, wiping, and stimulating. Using the gauze and pile sides of a steam towel made with 50°C water in three steps, it helps achieve clear, refreshed skin that feels as if you've just had a bath.

Gauze side: Made from Papolis, a fiber made from rayon mixed with the natural moisturizing ingredient squalane. Provides a soft and smooth texture against the skin.

Pile side: Uses long pile made from untwisted yarns ("non-twisted yarn"), resulting in an even softer feel against the skin.

    Warm
    Place the gauze side on your face, and gently press with your palms to cover your entire face and wam it. Once a towel cools down, make a new steam towel and repeat the process. The key is to warm your face twice.

    Wipe
    Using the flower-shaped pile section on the gauze side, gently wipe areas of concern such as around the eyes and the side of the nose.
  • slide-image03
    Stimulate
    Fold the towel into a triangle with the gauze side inward. Use the pile side to stimulate the pressure points around your ears with a slightly firm touch, imagining lymphatic flow stimulation.

    Stimulate
    Using the pile side, wipe from your neck to the décolletage. Apply slightly firm downward strokes to stimulate lymphatic flow.
We also recommend adding a drop of your favorite essential oil to the hot water when you make the steam towel.
After the Steam ON GAN® process, it is also a great idea to use a cold towel as extra skincare. The cold care helps tighten your skin and prevent makeup from smudging.

    This brush, made of 50% raw silk and 50% goat hair, can be used for massaging as well as washing your face. Gently stroke the dry brush against the skin for a massage and to remove dead skin. Add water to the brush and make a lather using facial soap, and you can use it as a face washing brush. Whether wet or dry, make sure to be gentle as you brush, as if you are stroking your skin.
    Raw silk contains a component called sericin, whose makeup is similar to the moisture-retaining element found in the human skin. When the sericin comes in contact with the moisture on the skin’s surface, it seeps out and attaches itself to the skin.
