Sassou - Japanese gold beauty cleansing bar - review

​Being a lover of all things Japanese, especially their beauty products, I was very excited to be able to test out this gold infused cleansing bar by Japanese brand Sassou.   This luxurious and unique anti-ageing beauty bar is actually imbued with Japanese sourced 24K gold.  ​   Ancient civilizations considered gold to have medicinal properties and used it often to treat skin conditions.  Combined with antioxidant rich flower and algae extracts and honey, it balances sebum production, refines pores and enhances skin elasticity by stimulating collagen production. ​

There is something which is just so quaint and unique about Japanese beauty products, even the packaging, it arrives encased in this little sphere and the soap is wrapped in brown silk ribbon.   All of these little details adds that special touch to using this delightful gold bar.    
 
Even the way the cleansing bar is applied is so very quaint.   It comes with a little white silk bag, you place the soap in the bag and rub it vigorously against the palm of your hand, you then use the delicate lather with water on your face.
 
The gold imbued into the bar helps to whiten and detox skin and increase collagen production, which is so important as we age, we want to maintain collagen in our skin.   The Amica Montana flower extract reduces inflammation and it is particularly helpful for acne and skin disorders.  Lamium album flower extract soothes skin.   Honey repairs skin damage, rejuvenates and hydrates.  It also contains white nettle, which I also drink as a tea, because of the many skin repairing benefits.

After using this soap my skin feels extra smooth, soft, clean.   It seems to take the ruddiness out of my skin and helps to keep it looking quite radiant.

​If you want to pamper yourself in the bath and shower every day, I can recommended using this little item of luxury, why not make yourself feel like a princess or prince every day!    It smells and feels delicate, it lathers up amazingly frothy and it only contains natural ingredients.     

Japanese women have beautiful skin and I can see why, this may be one of their beauty secrets we are only now discovering for ourselves.

​Available at Sassou.
