Date: Saturday, 18 October 2008
Venue: Raffles City Convention Centre, Indiana-Minto Room, Level 4
Session 1: 10am to 12pm
Session 2: 2pm to 4pm
Registration: $80 per attendee (each participant will receive $80 worth of SK-II voucher and a goody bag worth over $100)

I believe the workshop will focus on the SK-II Signs product line: Signs Wrinkle Serum and Signs Treatment Totality. As stated, the Serum first reduces the appearance of wrinkles through moisturisation then the Treatment Totality will help control the multiple signs of skin aging by revitalising epidermal cells to reactivate skin renewal at a cellular level.

If you get around to signing up and attending, I hope you can stop by again and let us know how it goes!

SK-II
Facial Treatment Essence

Skin Balancing Essence. Women everywhere are so passionate about Facial Treatment Essence that they describe it as their ‘miracle water’. Pitera, the seemingly magical ingredient found in all SK-II products, helps restore vital balance by promoting the skin’s natural 28-day surface renewal process. This single blend of vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and organic acids produces a seemingly miraculous rebirth of appearance. With over 90% pure Pitera, Facial Treatment Essence is the ‘heart’ of every SK-II Skincare ritual. Rely on it daily to moisturise, balance, and renew. Skin absorbs the benefits almost on contact. The result is supple, smooth, radiant skin.

Loving the fact that Cate Blanchett is the image model of SK-II. I’m a huge fan of the actress. And with all the good things I’ve been hearing and reading about Procter & Gamble’s premier beauty brand, SK-II, I reckon I can become a huge fan of it too.

I was impressed with Aqua Physics. Twas the first time I came across Pitera and I was then just getting to know the brand. Then I fell in love with the Air Touch Foundation.

Suggested application: Sprinkle about a teaspoon of Facial Treatment Essence into the cupped palm of your hand. Rub hands together and press gently and evenly onto face and neck. Your skin will absorb the Essence quickly and naturally.

I reckon applying nourishing elements directly onto the skin will help boost moisture and cell renewal. For someone like me who’s on her 30s, we need all the help we can get to maintain a more youthful and luminous skin. It’s not necessarily trying to stop aging but just easing into it gracefully. I really don’t want to go under the knife just to salvage whatever’s left. Eeep. Not only is that scary, it’s also expensive! Gah.

All I need now is to get my hands on one to seal the deal. Best of luck. SK-II products are sooo expensive!

Facial Treatment Essence in 215ml costs $170 (or $158.50 promo) over at StrawberryNet.com.
Facial Treatment Essence in 75ml costs $49.99 over at eBay.

See what I mean? Most of the good products are expensive.

Honestly, I’m not sure how effective this product is. All I hear is that a lot of women swear by it. I’m certainly hoping I’ll get an opportunity to try it out in the future. All I need to work on is procuring it.

Have any of you guys tried the SK-II Facial Treatment Essence? Let me know how your experience went? I’d love to know more about it. Also, do any of you use any sort of “Essence”? Share!

Who wouldn’t like to get a luminous skin like Cate Blanchett? Apparently, she’s been on SK-II for the past 7 years. It makes you want to go and buy your share of SK-II skincare products, yea? I heard from a lil birdie that you can get a complimentary Air Touch Foundation starter kit worth $150 when you purchase any SK-II products worth $300 or more. To avail, you can visit this SK-II page for printing or sending to your mobile phone.

This offer is valid until supplies last. The promotion will run all through 30 June 2008.

For more information on Cate Blanchett’s skincare ritual and her Essentials Collection, you can visit SK-II counters at participating stores:

Saks Fifth Avenue (New York – 5th Avenue, Short Hills New Jersey, Beveryly Hills, South Coast Plaza)
Bloomingdale’s (59th Street, Bergen, White Plains)

Ah, the wonders of Pitera and SK-II. The Air Touch Foundation is a real wonder itself. “At a touch of a button, the amazing ionisation technology delivers micro droplets of foundation for precise and natural, flawless coverage – no mess, caking or streaking.” I just love the geeky-ness of it plus it caters to my vanity. Now, who wouldn’t mind owning one? I’m in-lust. Gah.

How do you use Aqua Physics by SK-II?

By simply following SK-II’s complete hydration care:

Step 1, Facial Treatment Cleanser
Step 2, Aqua Physics Serum
Step 3, Facial Treatment Essence
Step 4, Aqua Physics Hydrating Gel

Pitera®
It is the “miracle water” that’s considered vital to everyday skincare. Known to restore skin’s natural functions. For a more healthy, clear and radiant skin.

SK-II Facial Treatment Essence works as a neutraliser, balancing pH level and sebum secretion, which controls the moisturising function for oily and dry areas of the skin.

By just looking at their current ad, I’m mesmerized and dreaming of well-moisturised and hydrated skin. Gah. But, omigod, the price is at SGD 99 each (roughly around Php 3,500 – 4,000). Too expensive to even consider, esp if I only have “experiment” in mind.

If you’re currently in Singapore (or carrying the country code 65 on our contact number) then you can get a chance to sign up for an Aqua Physics trial. You also have this opportunity to avail their latest promotion. Lucky you.
