Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel

Hubby's been working on this giant 180g tub of Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Gel for a looong time. He likes all-in-one products, and this fits the bill, being a gel that can be used in place of an emulsion/milk, serum/essence, moisturizer, mask, and even body lotion. That's probably why it's in such a big tub.

 

Naturie Coixseed Skin Conditioner

Been using this Naturie Hatomugi Coixseed Skin Conditioner after I ran out of the Rosette Soys Lotion a couple of months ago. I've never heard of the Naturie brand, but I have seen the miscellaneous Imju cosmetic and skincare items scattered here and there. 

Coixseed, also known as Job's Tears, is an edible a nutritious grain that counts natural jewelry beads among its various uses! How cool is that? I like this stuff and have eaten it aplenty in Cantonese tong sui (chè), sâm bổ lượng in particular. But to use a toner with its extract? Now that's new to me, and I'm all game! Not to mention this bottle of Naturie toner was dirt cheap, about 700yen for a whopping 500mL that will probably last me for freakin' ever! Of course I know being cheap means it's mostly alcohol and water, but then so is the more expensive stuff, no? :P
