The Sake Girl











{May 9, 2008}   Sake Beauty!

I’ve put cucumbers on my eyes, used kelp extract in my hair, and scrubbed my face with oats.. but never have I lathered up with my favorite liquor. Well that’s about to change.

Geisha girls have been using it for centuries. The toji (master sake brewer) have got the softest hands in Tokyo. You ask: Is SAKE really that good for your skin? The answer: Yep.

The powerful amino acids, minerals, and vitamins released in the rice fermentation process help hydrate and smoothen skin, in totally natural and awesome ways. In fact it is even traditional for women in Japan to add sake to their baths to make their skin so sake-smooth.

Taking a cue from our Island friends, the peeps at Fresh have delivered a line of products made from sake, to bring out your inner geisha. Rice Sake Bath is made up of 50% sake, and is combined with a handful of other natural ingredients and smell-goods.

Check out the extra-rich Rice Body Cream or the anti-frizz, moisturizing Sake Hair Cream

If you want to smell like you just walked out of a kura (sake brewery) then try their Sake Eau De Parfum

Also, looky here: AminoRice is a line of hydrating creams and firming serums that is actually made by Fukumitsuya, a Japanese sake brewery.

Now tell me, when was the last time you put some Heineken in your hair or some Bourbon on your derriere? That’s what I’m talking about.
