Dear readers, I cannot tell a lie. When anyone- be it a makeup artist, a new acquaintance, or even a random stranger, compliments me on the condition of my skin, I cannot help but beam. Getting my complexion to this point has been a trial of errors, mostly involving the strict regimentation and implementation of a comprehensive skincare routine. That’s fancy speak for a boatload of products, folks.
Speaking of the pursuit for my most perfect visage (isn’t that what we are always discussing?!), there are two new additions to my skincare repertoire that my skin is really loving right now. I am talking about SK-II’s newest family members: Cellumination Mask-In Lotion and SK-II Facial Treatment Cream Foundation. Designed to kick any skincare routine up a few Pitera-laden notches, both of these products ensure that the anti-aging benefits of the SK-II line are with you morning, noon, and night.
As a brief refresher (catch my other SK-II posts here and here), the whole SK-II concept was born when a group of esteemed scientists traveled to a sake brewing plant in Japan, and subsequently discovered the anti-aging properties of a then unknown substance- Pitera. Many years later, Pitera-rich SK-II is a brand that is well known and loved by millions, including of course, yours truly.
Those who are familiar with the line know, there is nothing more decadent, more luxurious, more good for your skin than the Facial Treatment Mask. Fifteen minutes with the nutrient rich mask and my skin is brilliant, luminous, and completely refreshed. Unfortunately, I cannot indulge in the mask daily, and this is where the new Mask-In Lotion comes into play. Designed to give all of the same nourishing, refreshing, illuminating effects of the mask, this hybrid serum/lotion is meant for twice daily use. I like to think of it as a Pitera booster shot, and use it under my SPF and nightly serums and moisturizers. Mask-In is truly quick fix, Pitera-rich skincare perfection.
Armed with an amazing treatment addition, it also doesn’t hurt to have an amazing skincare booster/cover-up to conceal life’s everyday boo-boos, too. The second item that has me (and my skin) ridiculously excited is a brand new foundation that is actually as wonderful for skin health as it is for creating a flawless base. Facial Treatment Cream Foundation boasts a formula chock-full of concentrated Pitera, and moisture infusing lipids Marine Sterol and Rice Sterol, to ensure that skin not only has a radiant base on the outside, but an infusion of skincare enriching benefits on the inside. The finish is beautifully luminous and dewy, and the teeniest of amounts is perfect for full-face medium coverage.
Allow me to also make mention of SK-II’s Clear for Life Campaign, which will help Asian communities in need with clear and safe drinking water that will save lives. To participate, visit the SK-II website, and click the “Share The Word” button. For every “click to share” on social media websites that SK-II receives, the beauty company will donate one liter of water to communities in need. Best of all, no purchase is necessary.
When it comes to my complexion, there are two things that I cannot get enough of. Namely, SK-II, and amazing products that go the distance and back again. Look for these new additions both online, and at your local Saks, Neiman Marcus, and Nordstrom.
