Bought this in Japan last year and loved these cotton squares. Does anyone know how I can get my hands on another package? I paid 280Y for 72 pieces (basically 3 USD). Amazon wants $14 for the same amount and all the normal sites I use (Jolse, YesStyle, Rakuten Global, etc) also have a markup or can’t ship internationally. Or if anyone has tried these and could recommend something similar and easily available? I HATE Western cotton puff/squares.

Hey AB Family!

It’s been a while, and I’m sure you’ve all been wondering where we’ve been, if we’re okay and why we’ve fallen off the face of the earth. It’s not you, it’s us. We’re fine, we’ve just been incredibly busy!

Life has happened and it’s been a lot. We’ve had lots of life transitions (new jobs, new moves, school) that has meant we haven’t been able to devote the time we’d like to the effective running of this community.

While we figure out what is next for this subreddit, we’d like you to check out our sister subreddit r/asianbeautyadvice. The moderation team over there are really awesome, and they’ve been working really hard to make ABA a great resource. They’re now adding a discussion flair to their subreddit and encouraging the kinds of discussions that were once reserved for this subreddit.

Thank you for being such a wonderful community, you guys are awesome.

The r/abdiscussion moderation team <3

I'd love to start a discussion about what substances people are taking internally that show positive effects on their skin. Not surprisingly, as far as I can tell, the ingredients that are good for your skin are also good for the rest of you. Antioxidants, flavonoids, healthy lipids, amino acids, all the good things that support healthy skin cells also support healthy body cells, and I personally have seen some fantastic effects of supplements and healthy foods and drinks on my skin. I realize that this isn't an exclusively AB topic, but while much of this is universal, I'd also love to learn about foods, medicines, etc. from other countries that are good for our health, inside and out. Hanbang and traditional Chinese medicine don't stop at skincare, so please share any info/experience you have about products you use that boost your glow.
