One of my current obsessions is the SK-II Signs Eye Mask. These little "wings" that you apply under your eyes are a powerhouse of anti-aging ingredients-- Vitamins B3, E and peptides, as well as Pitera, SK-II's signature ingredient. SK-II Signs Eye Mask is an excellent product to pack with you for traveling, before a big night out or anytime you're feeling that your eye area is needing a little TLC.

SK-II Air Touch Foundation meets the needs of women everywhere for a flawless, radiant finish. To achieve that goal, it takes a vision of perfection and precision. A perfect formula; a precise application technology. And because international make up artist Pat McGrath had a hand in testing it, you know it's going to perform.
SK-II Air Touch Foundation uses a unique ionization technology that disperses a blend of tiny, pure pigment particles and a Pitera formulation onto the skin. When the Air Touch ionizer is switched on, the foundation particles are given a positive charge, while at the same time sending a veil of negatively charged ions to cover the skin. Similar to a magnet, the positive particle is attracted to the negative. The result is that the foundation lays down on the skin in a perfectly smooth finish.
SK-II has recently launched LXP Moist Softening Serum. It's a unique product that is a bit thicker than a traditional serum; the minute you apply it, you can feel your skin drinking in the moisture. The "LXP" stands for "Luxury Multiplied by Pitera", the signature ingredient unique to all SK-II products.
SK-II LXP Moist Softening Serum features the highest concentration of Pitera available--8x Concentrate. Pitera is a Yeast Fermant Filtrate, containing a proprietary blend of vitamins, amino acids, minerals and organic acids that work together to optimize the skin's rejuvenation processes. In addition to Pitera, the LXP Moist Softening Serum contains Sodium Hyaluronic Acid, humectants and peptides.
In using the SK-II LXP Moist Softening Serum, what is amazing is that my skin stays absolutely hydrated with one pearl sized drop of serum in the morning and at night. I really like that; especially for the summer, when I want to maintain an anti-aging regimen, yet don't want to use a heavy cream moisturizer on my combination skin. At 2 drops per day, this bottle is going to last awhile!
SK-II LXP Moist Softening Serum retails at $250 for a 100 ml bottle and is available at www.sk-ii.com.
While watching the recent Academy Awards and Golden Globes Award shows, of course I love checking out the fashions, makeup, hair and jewels. But the thing that fascinates me most is looking at the celebrities' skin. In most instances, they've been preparing for the big night by getting facials, fillers and other skincare treatments. Cate Blanchett consistently looks stunning. Her secret? It's a skincare line called SK-II.
Pitera® is the signature ingredient used in all SK-II skincare products. It's a Yeast Ferment Filtrate, containing
a proprietary blend of vitamins, amino acids, minerals and organic acids that
work together to allow the skin’s natural surface rejuvenation process
to function at its prime.
The SK-II product that Cate Blanchett first used is the Facial Treatment Essence. In the January edition of Marie Claire, she also notes that she travels with the SK-II Facial Treatment Mask.
Facial Treatment Essence is comprised of over 90% pure Pitera and is the 'heart' of every SK-II Skincare ritual. The ritual encompasses four steps: visualize, purify, renew, and enhance.
Facial Treatment Essence raises skin moisture levels and stimulates the renewal of the skin's outer layer to improve texture and clarity. The result is supple, smooth, radiant skin. Facial Treatment Essence is the core treatment for all, regardless of age, skin condition or skin type.
I haven't tried the SK-II skincare line, so I can't comment beyond the information that is on the SK-II website. Although every time I see a picture of Cate Blanchett, I'm a little more motivated to seek this line out!
SK-II skincare products are available at select Saks Fifth Avenue and Bloomingdales locations. You can get more information on the SK-II line at www.sk-ii.com. Have you tried this skincare line? Let me know in the comments.
