July has finally arrived and the temperature in Tokyo is now over 30 degrees Celsius (30 degrees Fahrenheit).
(Summer is from June to September in Japan, and July and August are especially hot!)

Tokyo is about to enter full-blown summer!

The hottest days in Tokyo these days can reach over 35°C (86°F).
If you are visiting Japan during this time of the year, be sure to drink plenty of water and enjoy your stay.

I, Kimura, live in Tokyo and sweat a lot during this time of the year, so I need a variety of products to help me cope.

Today, I would like to introduce sweat wipes. Sweat wipes are paper sheets used to wipe away sweat and sebum.
In Japan, many kinds of sweat wipes are sold in drugstores and convenience stores in the summer. Recently, products for face and body use are being sold in Japan.

Sweat wipes for the face are mainly used to wipe sweat and sebum from the face and neck. They are recommended for those who want to keep clean and easily freshen up while traveling for work or other purposes.
Sweat wiping sheets for the face have a variety of features. For example, the following are available

・Those that feel cool and refreshing
・Those with a deodorant effect
・Menthol or mint scented
・Moisturizing ingredients

Sweat wipes for the body are mainly used to wipe away sweat from large areas such as the back and underarms. I also use them at night when the heat makes it difficult to sleep. Sweat wipes for body use have the following features

・Large size and can wipe a wide area.
・Made of materials that are gentle to the skin
・Creepy and cooling effect.

This year I purchased this Ultra Cool type.
It is a sheet for the body.

It says “powder in” on it, but it sure feels silky smooth after a few moments of wiping my body.
It feels nice and cool!

Sweat wipes are one of the most useful items for surviving the summer heat. Japanese men often use sweat wipes.
(Are they sold abroad?)
Please try them once when you come to Japan.
