Have you ever wanted perfectly moisturized skin, but the cream you use is too greasy, or doesn't doesn't heal the areas you want? Then try getting perfectly balanced skin, Japanese style.   

In America, there are several ways to help heal dry, flaky, chapped skin. From a visit to the dermatologist to purchasing hundreds of dollars in cremes that promise to heal very dry skin. In Japan, while there are other products, there is one that stands as above the rest: Yu-Be medicated skin cream. Since pharmacist Yoshikiyo Nowatari created this glycerin-based cream in 1957, it has been the #1 medicated skin cream in Japan and has spread world-wide. 

I was able to try a few products out, and the results are wonderful! The cream absorbed quickly, not greasy at all, and left my skin moisturized where I needed it so I only needed to reapply a couple of times throughout the day. The thick formula concentrates event he driest of skin. I use it on my hands, elbows, and anywhere else that needs a boost of moisture. There is a scent of camphor (that helps to clear my sinuses, though the scent is not strong) that dissipates after a couple of minutes. The lip care keeps your lips from getting chapped, and helps heal whatever ails them. 

This skin cream is safe to use on children, and protects your skin from any weather Mother Nature can throw at you. *There are no artificial dyes or fragrances. The secret to perfectly balanced skin is in the cream. 


Yu-Be beautiful, always!
