SK-II Facial Treatment Essence Holiday Edition

On November 17th I attended the launch of the SK-II Holiday Collection, featuring the limited-edition Facial Treatment Essence. The launch celebrated and honored inspirational women who have changed their destiny, hosted by Priyanka Chopra and Olivia Palermo.

The design of the limited-edition Facial Treatment Essence bottles are inspired by Suminagashi, which translates to "floating ink", a Japanese marbling technique in which marbling plain paper with water and ink to transform it into a vibrant and colorful work of art.

The limited-edition bottles are available in red, blue and green designs symbolize the essence of courage, purity and awakening.

SK-II Facial Treatment Essence is a daily party of my skincare regimen, and my favorite SK-II product, containing 90% Pitera. With continued use skin texture is more refined, firmness is improved and spots are less visible. It keeps my skin looking and feeling refreshed and radiant.

The SK-II Facial Treatment Essence Holiday Edition retails for $229 for 230 ml (7.7 0z) at sk-ii.com and sephora.com.
