Sasawashi Face Scrub Towel

Sasawashi face scrub towel by Sasawashi.

Rejuvenate your face with the Sasawashi face scrub towel that combines natural anti-bacterial qualities with a pleasantly rough texture that rigorously cleanses the skin. Made from a blend of washi paper and fibers extracted from the Kumazasa plant, the towel is durable with twice the absorbency of cotton. A highly practical bathroom accessory with a distinctively Japanese simplicity of form. Use it with or without soap.

The Kumazasa plant is a species of Japanese bamboo that has been prized for centuries for its beneficial antibacterial properties. Kamuzasa leaves were traditionally used to wrap food, especially sushi, to preserve it and prevent it from spoiling. They were also used to make a variety of natural remedies to fight infection and promote healing.
