Kinkan
Summer is on its way and with that all the little mosquitos and bugs that come out. In Japan we use mosquito coils, which can be found in every country, but sometimes you just get a mosquito bites and it’s extremely annoying. In Japan we use a product to master this called KINKAN.
KINKAN has excellent effects on insect bites, itching, also for stiff shoulders, lumbar pain, bruising and sprains by removing heat from the affected site and suppressing the conduction of itching/pain.

On holiday I always keep Kinkan in my bag, just I keep a bottle to touch up when I need protection from the sun.
