Yuzu is an extraordinary fruit that has the most beautiful and uplifting aroma (similar to a combination of mandarin and grapefruit.) My favorite argan oil, Mara Kesh Select with yuzu, contains this incredible oil making it smell amazing while adding some additional skin care benefits as well.
The yuzu has a quite a history in Japan and has been used for centuries by Japanese farmers for 3 main purposes; culinary, bathing, and medicinal. Bathing with yuzu on the winter solstice (Toji) is a Japanese custom that goes back as far as the 18th century. It’s believed that bathing with this aromatic fruit wards off illness such as colds and flu, increases circulation, and promotes smoother skin.
Today yuzu oil appears as an active skin care ingredient that naturally brightens, energizes, and tones the skin. The addition of this exceptional oil to the Mara Kesh argan oil adds to its amazing anti-aging qualities. You will find that with this oil your skin looks brighter, fresher, and more alive and when applying it to your face the aroma just fills your nose with the most beautiful and uplifting scent.
I actually tried this spa at Japan that offered treatments with Yuzu and it’s quite a remarkable fruit. You could feel the glow in your skin. They should try to grow them locally.
Yuzu, sounds interesting. It looks like a lemon. I Googled some cross-sections of the fruit and it’s truly lovely. I’m hoping to try some soon. Thanks for the share.
It’s the first time I’ve heard of Yuzu. I’d better try it on my next trip to Japan. I’m a big fan of Citrus fruits. Thanks for the share.
Kristine, yuzu isn’t very well known but just wait until you smell it. I instantly fell in love with it the first time I smelled it in my Mara Kesh argan oil with yuzu. It is soooo uplifting!
I’ve heard about Yuzu but I’ve never seen one. Is it only available in Japan? Don’t they export it? There are just so many benefits to it.
Kelly, you would love yuzu! You can get yuzu essential oil, but it is a little hard to find or you can check out the Mara Kesh argan oil with yuzu.
