THE ESSENCE.

A couple weeks ago I mentioned that I had found the one in terms of eye cream. This was thanks

to SK-II’s amazing formula. I wanted to find out more about the brand and the products, so I

decided to speak with the Australian Ambassador for SK-II and an all round babe

What products from SK-II do you use on a daily basis?

To start, I apply 3-4 drops of SK-II Facial Treatment Essence onto clean skin. My skin soaks it

up quite quickly so I then follow with SK-II Whitening Power Spots Specialist, which treats

any pigmentation I might have – perfect for the summer months. Afterwards, I apply a pea-

sized amount of SK-II Stempower Eye Cream and gently massage it around my delicate eye

area. To finish, I apply SK-II Stempower Face Cream before finishing with an SPF 50

sunscreen.

What first drew you towards the brand?

I’ve been using the brand ever since my mum first introduced me to it when I was 18 or so.

At the time, I was suffering from teen acne and needed something that could help calm my

skin from the acne-fighting skincare, which was drying it out. It was then that I started

using SK-II Facial Treatment Essence and I haven’t stopped since! It makes my skin glow.

I’m really passionate about caring for my skin – and as a prestige brand, SK-II is too – which

is why working with them was such an organic relationship. I’m very proud to be part of

the SK-II family!

If you had to choose just one product from the range, which would it be?

Definitely the Facial Treatment range. The SK-II Facial Treatment Essence, SK-II

routine all year round. While each product is incredibly gentle and nourishing, they’re

also effective in treating dark spots, diminishing fine lines, evening out skin tone and

helping your skin achieve an all over luminous glow.

Can the products work on problematic breakouts as well as anti-ageing?

Yes – I first started using SK-II Facial Treatment Essence when my skin was covered

in breakouts! Because all SK-II products contain Pitera – a byproduct of the

fermentation process which is a liquid rich in vitamins, amino acids, minerals and organic

acids – they’re able to dramatically improve the skin’s natural surface rejuvenation

process without irritating it. This miracle ingredient bears close resemblance to the

skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factors so skin is able to repair itself while being nourished

at the same time – this is why it’s suitable for sensitive skin. If you have a few blemishes,

I recommend applying SK-II Facial Treatment Essence in conjunction with your current

skincare regime (always apply after cleansing). And, if you have cystic acne, it’s always

best to see a dermatologist.

What’s the one skincare tip you have always stood by?

Never go to bed with makeup on.
