Celebrate the New Year with SK-II Facial Treatment Essence

As we close out 2017, it's the perfect time to shift the focus back on you and prepare for the year ahead. What changes will you make to your skincare routine in 2018? One product I will be ringing in the new year with is the SK-II Facial Treatment Essence, packaged in the limited edition Change Destiny bottle. 

This product will always be a staple within my skincare regimen, yet I also love the positive messaging within the Change Destiny campaign. The limited-edition bottles have three types of messaging: "DESTINY is a Matter of Choice", "CHANGE is in All of Us", and "Be the Person You DECIDE to be". As I think about my resolutions for next year, all three of these messages are a daily inspiration. Both change and choice is important to evolve and grow. I firmly believe we are in charge of our own future, and it is our decision how we want to act or react. 

As for the Facial Treatment Essence itself, it is always the first step in my AM and PM skincare routine. I haven;t been using a toner, but this would be used after a toner and before applying a serum. The Facial Treatment Essence contains 90% Pitera, and I have noticed a difference from when I use this product and when I don't use it. As I get older, I'm more concerned with making sure I keep any wrinkles or spots to a minimum, so prevention is key! My skin definitely feels more refreshed and looks more radiant when I use it regularly.

I usually just pat it on my skin with my hands, but for an updated skincare change and to make sure I get maximum coverage, I may try using a cotton pad to apply my Facial Treatment Essence and start using a toner before applying it.

I am constantly trying new skincare products but the SK-II Facial Treatment Essence is the one product I am loyal to. Everyone always asks me what my skincare secret is and I really believe that this is a part of it! You can find the SK-II Limited Edition Change Destiny Facial Treatment Essence at sephora.com for $229 for 230 mL.

SK-II Limited Edition Facial Treatment Essence for the Holidays

This holiday season, SK-II has launched a Limited Edition Facial Treatment Essence as the ultimate gift of transformational beauty, giving women beautiful, ageless, skin and the confidence to fly. The Festive 2015 Collection includes three artistic bottle designs: 

BOLDNESS: Red Butterflies

For the woman who embodies boldness, courage and bravery. Fashioned in invigorating red, this captivating design and color express the heartfelt passion and bravery necessary to undertake the journey that leads to transformation,

ENCOURAGEMENT: Pink Butterflies

For the woman who has offered tender support and encouragement. The alternate design of the butterflies in tender pink symbolize affection, love and trust. 

PERSEVERANCE: Blue Hummingbird

For the woman who exudes dedication, endurance and perseverance. The design in enchanting shades of blue represent eternity, and is the perfect gift for someone in relentless pursuit of their dreams, acting as a powerful reminder to never give up on the journey of transformation. 

Each bottle in SK-II's Festive 2015 Collection represents various stages in the journey of personal transformation and the will to #ChangeDestiny. As we celebrate the holidays and self-reflect on both the past year and future, the limited edition designs of Facial Treatment Essence act as a meaningful gift and encouragement to all women who wish to make a positive transformation. 

The best-selling Facial Treatment Essence has become my favorite skincare product, ever since I started using it in April of last year. It contains over 90% Pitera, which is the signature ingredient present in all SK-II products. Pitera is made up of nourishing vitamins, amino acids minerals, and organic acids to promote a healthy, natural skin cell renewal process. The Facial Treatment Essence is always the first step of my daily skincare regimen in the morning and at night. It makes my skin feel hydrated, moisturized, refreshed and youthful. Everyone always asks me what my skincare secret is and I really do believe it is due using skincare products formulated with Pitera. 

The beautiful bottle designs make this a very special gift that you'll be sure to cherish, whether the Facial Treatment Essence is one of your favorites or is completely new to you.

SK-II's Limited Edition Facial Treatment Essence (230 ml $229) is available at SK-II.com and Sephora.com. 

Holiday Beauty with Nanette Lepore for Origins

One of my beauty favorites this season is the Nanette Lepore for Origins limited edition collaboration. Origins' first fashion designer partnership with Nanette Lepore features embellishments and print designs inspired from Nanette's passion for travel and discovering local customs. Origins also takes inspiration from the world, constantly scouring the Earth for natural ingredients and preserving the planet in the process. Mirroring both brands' sustainable practices, The Nanette Lepore for Origins cosmetic bag is made with 100% recycled cotton. This cosmetic bag is great for throwing in my tote bag and great!

During the launch we previewed Origins favorites and must-haves this holiday season, including A Perfect World antioxidant cleanser with White Tea, Modern Friction gentle exfoliator, Clear Improvement active charcoal mask for clearing pores, Drink Up-Intensive overnight mask, Ginger Souffle whipped body cream, Make a Difference rejuvenating hand treatment, GinZing brightening mascara, Drink Up Sugars hydrating lip balm, Ojon Rare Blend Oil and Ojon Rare Blend Tamer. 

Here's a look at what you'll find in my bag! For beauty essentials, hand cream, lip balm and mascara are all a must! One of my savior products this season is Ojon Rare Blend Tamer, which I've tried for the first time.  It instantly takes care of flyaway hair and frizz, easily applying with the mascara wand.
