SK-II SPECIAL: UPGRADE YOUR REGIME & GET OUT OF THE BEAUTY RUT

They say, don’t fix what’s not broken, and that’s probably most of us have a specific regime that we’ve been sticking to for a long, long time. That’s until one day, we realise that our trusty regime doesn’t seem to work so well anymore.

There can be a few reasons why this is happening:

1. Your lifestyle has changed and thus, your skin needs are now different. For instance, you may have moved to a city with more pollution, and need more antioxidant in your products to help fight environmental aggressors.

2. Your skin condition has changed, due to age or body changes.

A great range of products to upgrade your regime to would be the SK-II LXP range. This power-packed range of products promises to deliver skincare benefits including firmness, smoothness, luminosity and hydration. The highlight of this range is the LXP Ultimate Perfecting Essence that is fortified with the Highest Concentrated Pitera and the Golden Regenerating Complex, which is made up of the Centella Essence, a highly-purified extract of the Centella Asiatica (a herb primarily found in India). The range is said to be the most powerful line in the SK-II brand. In fact, the LXP Ultimate Perfecting Essence delivers benefits that are 200% more visibly than SK-II’s renowned Facial Treatment Essence. I use mine faithfull, I have seeing visible improvements to my skin in just three days!

A Regimen of Masterpieces 

“The LXP Ultimate Perfecting series is the most powerful of all the SK-II products, and for me, I would say that this series is so powerful and concentrated that I noticed the extra boost and the difference in my skin in a matter of days,” said Cate Blanchett, SK-II Global Ambassador. 

Luxury skincare at its finest, each masterpiece in the LXP series features the exclusive Highest Concentrated Pitera™ – SK-II’s signature ingredient at its most powerful. Meticulously produced to perfection via a thorough concentration process, Highest Concentrated Pitera™ encourages the production of a key enzyme for promoting the regulation of the skin energy cycle.

The first step to the ultimate transformation to crystal clarity, the LXP Ultimate Perfecting Essence with Highest Concentrated Pitera™, Centella Essence and a trio of moisturisers in the Golden Regenerating Complex strengthens skin’s resilience and firmness. 

Next, the LXP Ultimate Perfecting Serumwith Highest Concentrated Pitera™ and Skin Regenerating ActiV™ penetrates quickly and deeply into skin to accelerate skin cell regeneration at the root of skin surface. 

The most premium cream ever crafted by SK-II, the LXP Ultimate Perfecting Cream is the third step in the regimen. The cream with Highest Concentrated Pitera™ and 9 skin-conditioning ingredients infuses skin with moisture for up to 12 hours, working to refine its texture and plump up its firmness. 

The exquisite fragrance of Rose Absolute carefully harvested from a field of sweetly scented rosa centifolia, found only in Grasse, adds a touch of French luxury to the Serum and Cream.
