A Geisha's Secret to Grease-Free Skin
Gold leaf craftspeople used pieces of abacá paper to protect the gold they hammered; with every gentle tap, both the paper and gold became thinner. When people discovered the paper was ideal for absorbing excess facial oil, abura-tori-gami was born. Let's look at some of the benefits below!
