You know it’s time to start on anti-ageing products once you see fine lines and a smattering of brown spots across your face. But it isn’t the end of the world—you can make good choices when it comes to your beauty ritual, and that’s with the help of perhaps one of the most popular skincare brands out there: SK-II.

The Japanese brand’s signature active ingredient, Pitera, has long been touted to be the essence to combat skin ageing. A clear liquid that is rich in vitamins, amino acids and minerals, this ingredient was created to dramatically improving the skin’s natural rejuvenation process.

Our three favourite products from the brand are incidentally also their bestsellers: SK-II Facial Treatment Essence (+ Add To Wishlist), Facial Treatment Eye Essence (+ Add To Wishlist), and Facial Treatment Gentle Cleanser (+ Add To Wishlist). Upon our journey to Matsumoto Kiyoshi (now our favourite drugstore in Japan!), we found that you Shoppers can actually ShopandBox SK-II products for less!

A journalist who enjoys covering features across the fashion, beauty and lifestyle industry, Anna's work has appeared on Kinfolk, Portland Monthly, Buro 24/7 Malaysia. While globe-trotting and sampling different cuisines along the way is on top of her favourite-things-to-do list, nothing beats curling up with a good book and a cuppa joe.

I went to Japan for my honeymoon a few months ago. Here’s a rundown of some of my favorite things, including food items to try there!

Must have beauty items

-Sana Excel Eyelash Curler: The strength of this curler is amazing. It's quite possibly the best eyelash curler I've ever purchased, surpassing Shu Uemura and Sephora. If you're a fan of the Shu Uemura eyelash curler, it's much cheaper in Japan.

-Kiss Me Heroine Make Long and Curl Mascara and Eyeliner

-DHC Eyelash Tonic

-Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence: This is my HG sunscreen. It might be a little bit hard to find because it seems to always be sold out everywhere, but it's worth it!

-Hada Labo Rohto Gokujyn Hyaluronic Acid Lotion

-SK-II: If you're a fan of SK-II, it's so much cheaper in Japan!

-Cheap travel bottles from Daiso and Cando

-Any Sailor Moon makeup item: It’s so much more expensive outside Japan!

"Healthy" Chocolate

-Libera: These are delicious chocolates with fiber!

-GABA: These are delicious chocolates that help with mood!

-SHIELD: These are delicious chocolates with probiotics!

Drinks

-The peach version of this drink (Only available at 7/11). I probably drank one every day and managed to successfully fight off a cold! So sad they don’t sell it in the U.S.!

-Convenience store yogurt drinks

-Highball drinks (alcoholic, available from convenience stores)

-Green tea

Snacks

-"Giant" Ice Cream Cones (made by Glico): Available at convenience stores. The one with chocolate ice cream, chocolate swirls, and a chocolate coating with nuts is quite possibly the best prepackaged chocolate ice cream cone I've ever had.

-Kit Kats: I tried Rum Raisin and Strawberry Cheesecake. Rum Raisin is my favorite.

-Ghana Chocolate

-Convenience store onigiri and bento boxes

-Green tea soft serve

-Tofu soft serve (available in Kyoto near Fushimi Inari)

-Honey popcorn from Tokyo Disney

Must Try Meals

-Ramen: My favorite is Yoyogi Shoten. Ichiran is also great since they offer customized ramen and a unique experience.

-Tonkotsu: My favorites are Marugo in Akihabara and Katsukura in Kyoto

-Okonomiyaki in Hiroshima

-Takoyaki in Osaka

Etc

-Anello Backbacks

-Umbrellas that change color in the rain (or umbrellas with pretty patterns)!

Sorry for going a little overboard. It was a fun honeymoon and I had fun reliving it by writing this post! If you're curious, here's the reddit post where I shared what I bought: https://www.reddit.com/r/AsianBeauty/comments/7stzc7/daily_deals_fluff_and_hauls/dt8nkdr/ There's a photo of the Yoyogi Shoten ramen at the end.

Enjoy your trip to Japan! You’ll have so much fun!
