Let’s talk about Soy today, for the skin!! Soy isoflavone is used in a lot of moisturisers, night creams, packs, toners and just about every skin care item in Japan. The isoflavone from soy is supposed to help brighten the skin, help with hyper pigmentation, improve skin tone, boost collagen production and help with wrinkles!! It also has antioxidants, which we all know is also great for the skin!
For more than half a year, I have been loving this Soy milk yogurt pack! It is by a Japanese brand called Tofu No Moritaya. It has been featured on many Japanese beauty blogs and a lot of beauty/fashion magazines! It has also been recommended by many Japanese Models and also Ikko-san, who is very famous for her beauty recommendations! Down below is a screenshot I took from their website, with all the magazines they’ve been featured in.
This pack super lovely to put on. It comes in a white plastic tub that you open up to get the product out . The lids stays open so that’s convenient too.
When you open the package, the product inside really looks just like yogurt! It’s white and the texture is like yogurt too ( Greek yogurt). It smells so good too, it’s subtle & not too overpowering. I’m not the best at describing scents but it smells sweet & lovely! It has some honey inside which probably explains the sweetness but it’s also sort of flowery too, in my opinion.
On the package it says to use it everyday but I don’t have time to use it everyday so I use it about once a week. My friend who recommended this product actually uses it everyday and she has 3 kids! Talk about priorities! If you use it everyday though, I think you will have such soft bright baby skin. They way to use it is just like any other mask, you wash your face and put some on, avoiding the eyes and mouth area. Leave it on for 10 to 15 min and wash it off. Do your regular skin care routine after that and you will have super soft mochi mochi skin! Mochi is a Japanese sticky rice that’s super soft when it’s first made and it’s a term we often use in Japan to describe super soft baby like skin. It also has rice bran oil as one of their top ingredients which is also known for whitening/brightening the skin!
I just want to mention that this is not an organic or natural pack (although it doesn’t contain any harsh chemicals) and normally I try to stay away from skin care products that are not natural but this was highly recommended and I wanted to try it out. I’m glad I did though, it really does make the skin softer.
It’s around 2000yen, sometimes cheaper depending on the store you get it from. If you live in Japan, you can get it from most drugstores.
