Adding SK-II into the Beauty Routine

You guys, I'm so excited to work with SK-II as part of their #MyEssence campaign! I feel like I've looked up to them as THE skin care brand for so long that it's amazing to finally be able to try their Facial Treatment Essence . And I promise, it does not disappoint.

{here's the 411}

The essence features the highest concentration (over 90%) of Pitera™— the miracle ingredient across the entire SK-II line – which helps moderate the skin surface renewal cycle and balances the skin’s moisture barrier for overall hydration and elasticity. Pitera is derived from a unique yeast fermentation process that was discovered over 35 years ago in a Japanese Sake brewery.

I've been using the essence for about two weeks and my skin looks and feels pretty awesome. The directions on the packaging tells you to sprinkle a few drops onto a cotton pad and pat onto your face, however, you can also just pour a little of the essence into your hand and then pat it onto your face. I like the latter because then you don't lose any of the liquid to a cotton pad; wrinkle free palms, here I come!

Remember: pat on face before any other serum or moisturizer.

My skin tone has brightened and looks healthier.. It gives you that "I had a good night’s sleep and am perfectly hydrated" look when in actuality you probably drank too many glasses of wine the night before — you know what I mean?

A little goes a long way, so for me the price tag totally makes sense. Have you tried any other SK-II products? Given how much I'm loving the FTE, I'm really interested to try others.
