Sasawashi Face Scrub Towel
Revitalize and cleanse skin with the all-natural, lightly textured Sasawashi Face Scrub Towel. Made from a blend of washi paper and fibers from the kumazasa plant, Sasawashi is a durable fabric with twice the absorbency of cotton. The kumazasa plant is known for its natural antibacterial and deodorizing properties. Together, they create a fabric that is both lightweight and incredibly absorbent for goods that easily fit into your everyday life.
Use with or without soap for gentle exfoliation of sensitive skin.
Sasawashi
Sasawashi was founded as a reaction to the wastefulness and ephemeral lifespan of the textile industry. Made from absorbent washi paper threads infused with antibacterial kumazasa plant fibers, this innovative fabric offers natural deodorizing properties that prevent mildew growth and fiber deterioration. From Japanese-style room shoes to personal scrub towels, every piece in the Sasawashi collection stays true to the brand's fundamental values: comfort, longevity, and simplicity.

Machine wash once every two to four uses in a net with similar colors, or hand wash. If soap is used, be sure to rinse well, as leftover soap can cause odor or mold. Hang dry in a well-ventilated place.
Combining Luxurious Softness With Natural Exfoliation
Natural textiles are the gold standard when it comes to delicate and durable skin care. Our eco-friendly face towel is gentle, purifying, and as dependable as it is sustainable.
Making the switch to nature-derived cleansing products is a wise investment. Each Japanese towel reduces textile-related waste by honoring the precious plants and resources we depend on. Our Japanese line is designed to enrich beauty from the outside in by enhancing self-care with nourishing plants that support the underlying needs of our skin.
Sasawashi face towels highlight these beneficial characteristics. While the face towel quality is a seemingly minor detail, the products that come in contact with our skin have a compounding impact over a lifetime. Naturally antibacterial and deodorizing, our cleansing and resilient Japanese exfoliating towel provides support for:
- Deeper exfoliation and detoxification
- Nurturing cleansing for any skin type
- Soothing softness for spa-like daily care
- Years of dependable and multipurpose functionality
- The planet; both washi paper and Kumazasa fibers are renewable resources that are 100% biodegradable
Ways To Incorporate This Face Towel Into Your Skin Care Routine
Follow these simple steps to transform your skincare routine with the Saswashi face scrub towel:
Clear pores and promote softer skin with exfoliation. First, shower or use the steam room to soften your skin, open the pores, and maximize the efficacy of your deep scrubbing session! Lather a small amount of purifying exfoliant onto the Sasaswashi face towel, then gently scrub the skin in circular motions with firm yet gentle pressure. Even without an exfoliant, the Sasawashi face towel still provides exceptional exfoliation with natural soap or water alone!
Improve your daily washing routine with the Sasawashi face towel. Between deep exfoliation sessions, use this ultra-absorbent towel to keep your face impeccably clean. Use your favorite soap, gently massage and lather the skin, and free yourself from the grime and stress of the day.
Simplify makeup removal. Double the absorbency of your average facial towel, this impressive towel is an amazing companion for stubborn makeup removals. This Japanese towel quickly lifts mascara, coverup, and other oily ingredients in moments.
Enrich your skin health with a facial massage. In harmony with the essentials, this versatile face towel is a go-to favorite for estheticians and DIY beauty care alike! After cleansing, apply a small amount of soothing serum or moisturizer to the towel and gently massage into your skin. This nourishing step enriches blood flow to the skin, hydrates it, and complements every other aspect of your beauty routine!
Reduce your environmental impact with the Sasawashi face towel. Long-lasting and highly effective, this earth-friendly Japanese towel allows you to use fewer chemicals, avoid wasteful single-use products, and spend less on your beauty routine!
