Foaming it up in my bathroom
It’s mid-week and the weather gods decided to be kind to Japan and temperatures are a cool 23 – 26 degrees Celsius. Woo-hoo! No more sweating buckets. Maybe because I’m from Singapore, I sweat a lot more than a regular person ^_^ I could use my new Lolita Lempicka fragrance without feeling uncomfortable.
Just a reminder that there’s a mini giveaway happenin’ right here: one Kose Clearturn White Royal Jelly Essence Mask to be won! Deadline is end of September so do go on over to see if you could be a lucky winner.
Today I’m going to talk about foam nets. What is a foam net?
Cosmeddicted did a tutorial on how to use a foam net and her glowing words inspired me to try it out.
Since my women’s magazine days, I’ve always known that using just the foam to wash your face is a gentler way to get clean. You could foam up your facial wash on your own but it takes a while to get to that super fluffy creamy lather stage.
In comes the Japanese foam net — it lathers up in TWO seconds. I swear. It did cross my mind that I’ll be adding one more step to my daily beauty routine but it truly doesn’t feel like it.
I’ve used this four times already and I like the way my skin doesn’t feel tight after washing. Hail to the foam net!
Here’s a step-by-step pictorial of how to use a foam net…
I checked the instructions to see what has to be done…
Whipped out my HG facial cleanser…
Squeezed a small amount onto the net and ran some water onto it.
I rubbed the net on the spot where my facial cleanser was.
It foamed like this almost immediately! After I got enough foam, I squeezed the net with my hand and slid it downwards — lotsa foam!
The foam net comes with a ring that you can use to hang it up in your bathroom.
Isn’t this just so cool?!
This cost me only 745JPY (USD8.70) and now I’m a foam net convert.

Somehow this net reminded me of mosquito nets people use in the Philippines?
I’m all about the scrub (baby!) so I can’t see myself loving something like this. But it does sound like a very good idea for people with very sensitive skin.
I read that same blog post and tried it myself. If deinitely has shown a nice change in my habits! What’s nice is I found the net at my local diaso for 100yen!
OMG that’s so cheap! I’ll get my next one at Daiso. Lately I’ve been on a “take good care of yourself” kinda kick so using a foam net is right up my alley right now.
@Mary: Yeah, this is good for people who want to prevent overly dry skin. Tokyo fall and winter are so drying so I def see myself using this alot soon.
I think it will work good with shampoos too.
Hmm, I’m not sure about just using foam to wash one’s hair. Is there any merit in that?
Coz sometimes I feel my shampoo is too thick to spread evenly in my hair…
That’s really interesting! I never thought of that…
