I’m a big fan of SK-II skincare especially their Skin Signature line. The new addition is their SK-II Skin Signature Eye Cream and it’s simply fabulous. I’m very picky with skincare, haircare, makeup and all things beauty. Ha! I only recommend products that actually work for me. This eye cream is super hydrating, bit heavy so perfect for the cold winter months, has a very pleasant scent, long lasting moisture, and fast absorbing. Looks like it ticks all the boxes.

SK-II Skin Signature Eye Cream

The NEW SK-II Skin Signature Eye Cream is available at SK-II counters from October 2011. 15 ml/$110.

My Japanese friends tells me that SK-II is a super star skincare line in Japan and that every girl wants it. Well, I know why because I’m in love with all SK-II skincare products. Their latest SK-II Cellumination Mask-In Lotion is not exception. Once I started using it I couldn’t stop. It’s an intense hydrating fast absorbing  liquid lotion.I use it in the morning or evening right after I wash my face. Worth trying.

Cate Blanchett, who presented the award for best makeup at the 83rd annual Academy Awards is known for her flawless complexion. When you have flawless skin like Cate, you don’t need much makeup. To get her award-winning look, the actress prepped her skin with SK-II Facial Treatment Essence and SK-II Facial Treatment Masks, both of which contain the highest concentration of SK-II’s key ingredient, Pitera®.

What Cate Says About Facial Treatment Essence:

“SK-II is fundamentally different from other lines based on one indispensable product – the Facial Treatment Essence. It is like nothing I have ever used before, a clear liquid that you simply press into your skin. It clarifies and moisturizes. It basically does it all. As a result, my skin looks more balanced and healthy.”

Facial Treatment Mask: A deeply intensive, moisture-boosting mask that hydrates the skin with Pitera® to promote more radiant and smoother skin.

What Cate Says About Facial Treatment Mask:

“I use a Facial Treatment Mask to immediately brighten my complexion with a surge of Pitera®—it’s so refreshing and leaves my skin feeling rejuvenated.”

This dynamic duo intensely moisturizes the skin, resulting in a stunning luminous glow even before makeup is applied. Facial Treatment Essence: Contains more than 90% Pitera® and helps promote radiant skin. Facial Treatment Essence is a simple step easy to incorporate into any skincare ritual and should be used both day and night to help restore skin’s natural surface cycle.

Luxury Moisturizing Creams: SK-II Skin Signature ($205).

SK-II’s Skin Signature Cream has a light texture, yet provides long-lasting moisturization and is designed for both the day and night skin care regimen. The key is the unique formulation containing skin conditioners, together with Vitamin B3, Pitera and Oli-Vityl, a new ingredient for SK-II derived from an olive species that thrives in Tuscany, Italy. Marta Walsh is completely in love. If you had to buy just one face cream, then maybe this is the one. Simply amazing!

SK-II Skin Signature in ‘real life’

Spring and Summer skin care: The NEW SK-II Facial Treatment UV SPF 25 is an advanced daily moisturizer that helps to shield the skin from everyday exposure of UV rays, while simultaneously pampering the complexion with Pitera, the exclusive ingredient found in all SK-II products, and moisturizers.

Facial Treatment UV Protection SPF 25 is a fresh, lightweight cream that leaves the skin moisturized supple and most importantly, protected.

I’m all about good skincare lately! I’m in line with my new year’s resolution (remember?) to properly wash my face before I go to bed and moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. My recent skincare helper is SK-II Cellumination Essence $138.

This SK-II serum is very light and easily absorbs to skin. The result, happy skin in the morning and all day!

Want to know what’s in Marta’s shower? So many products I love these days, so little time to blog, lol. But here is a sneak peak to my shower and to some of my favorite face cleansers these days. As you can tell it’s very challenging for me to take a shower lately, because I have so many decision to make as soon as I wake up. It goes like this: “Umm…which face cleanser should I use today?” lol.

CHANEL MOUSSE EXFOLIANTE PURETÉ Exfoliating Cleansing Foam Purity + Anti-Pollution: It’s very creamy, it exfoliates, and gentle. Like with any face cleansers, avoid the delicate eye area.

Philosophy Purity Made Simple:Very gentle and refreshing cleanser. One of the best creamy cleansers I’ve ever tried.

Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Cleanser:If you like that fresh clean feeling after you wash your face, then you would love this Kiehl’s cleanser. I’m hooked:)

SK-II Facial Treatment Cleanser: Very creamy and gentle cleanser.

Fresh Soy Face Cleanser:I love the cucumber soothing scent when I wash my face with this Fresh cleanser. My face feels hydrated, clean, and toned after use.
