It seems Japan has invented many high-quality yet affordable beauty items that are commonly available at drug stores. The market is very competitive, therefore only unique and effective items tend to survive.
Here I will show you five popular, unique, and effective beauty items which are popular with both men and women, so please read it too boys!
Baby Foot, like its name says, is foot care product that will make your feet feel as smooth and soft as a baby’s foot!
According to the Baby Foot website, the product contains 17 types of natural extracts which exfoliate and moisturize at the same time. The main ingredient is fruit acid, which penetrates the layers of dead skin cells and breaks down the intercellular structures. The subsequent peeling after application occurs once the evil desmosomes are destroyed, revealing the “baby foot” softer skin below!
During the process of peeling off the product, your foot might look gross, however, it feels so gooood to peel it off! It also takes off bad smells from your feet by peeling off the dead rotten skin.
Ta….ta-da!!!!!
This a web commercial video for Baby Foot. In Japan, especially during summer, there are many scenes that you have to show your bare feet as we take off our shoes before entering homes. This video shows the love of being bare foot in a comical manner.

Summer in Tokyo is super hot and humid. Most of the days break past 30℃ and it feels like a sauna! You cannot escape from sweating, never. But we cannot take a shower as often as we use the toilet, especially because we work such long hours, therefore these kind of sweat wipes became popular for a quick refresh.
It cleans away sweat, oil, and dirt to give a refreshing feeling! Both men and women use it, and compared to the ones for men that gives an icy-cool feeling, the ones for women give a smooth feeling (“sara-sara”) and lovely scent of flowers or berries.
This wipes are must-have to survive a desperate hot Japanese summer! Stay cool!
This is a pair of socks that reduce your swelling of the legs and makes them look slimmer. A lot of fashion models and celebrities recommended it and it became a hit product.
The pressure system of this product applies graduated compression to improve blood and lymph circulation, which helps in soothing tired aching legs, and reducing swelling to slim your legs. The most popular one is a Sleep Wearing version, allowing you get thinner legs while you sleep! This convenience is also one of the reasons of popularity.
There are various types of these socks, for example, a cool version for summer! Thigh length version, a version with holes for your toes, a stocking version…there are many different kinds of MediQttO socks are available. Choose your favorite one or wear them all (not at the same time of course)!
