In Japan, facial masks are so popular that almost all women use them! Maybe that is also the case in your country? In this article, we will go to a drugstore in Shibuya to find out more. The store is part of Japan’s most famous drugstore chain, Matsumoto Kiyoshi. You can find their stores basically anywhere in Japan!

The selection of facial masks is huge. And this is just the selection of the 1st floor! There are even more masks on the basement floor.



Let’s take a closer look. You could also see what the masks look like since there are some models on the top of the shelf!



How about a dog?



A facial mask could be a good souvenir, as there are many Japan-themed masks. For instance, check out the Pure Smile facial masks: geisha, Daruma doll, even samurai!



If you’d like to buy a lot of these masks to your friends and family, they are sold in bigger packages as well, so you can save some money.



There are of course also different kinds of Hello Kitty masks. These ones are from the basement floor.



In Japan, there are so many products related to green tea. In this drugstore, there was a green tea facial mask as well!



With so many masks to choose from, how can you decide? I decided to try out this Pure Smile mask simply because I liked its colours. The package looks cool, too. It cost only 300 yen (tax excluded)!



I had never used a facial mask before, but luckily the instructions at the back of the package were also in English. First, you clean up your face, and then wear the mask for 15-20 minutes. Wearing the mask was really refreshing! I would recommend it to anyone, whether you have tried it out or not!

What kind of mask would your best friend like? Or dad? Buying facial masks as souvenirs could be a lot of fun!
