My Journey with SK-II Facial Treatment Essence

Photography by Madi Flournoy Henderson

Transformations don't happen overnight, they take time and they take effort.  Many of you know that I have been on a journey since the beginning of this year...a journey focused on my overall health and well-being.  This journey has included a physical, mental, and emotional change...a change for the better.

Of course, most journeys like this start from the inside and work their way out.  I've been working on that transformation and the roots are centered internally.  External changes happen as a second phase and they happen over time.

As part of my health and well-being centered journey, I've also been focused on truly taking care of my skin.  Being that I am in my 30's, I've come to realize that caring for my skin is even more important now than it ever has been.

Over time, I have tried a variety of skincare products...some have worked well and others have not.  I recently discovered SK-II Facial Treatment Essence and decided to embark on the #OneBottleAwayFrom journey.  I spent some time researching this "miracle water" prior to using it and everything I read confirmed that hands down I needed to give SK-II a try to continue my overall well-being transformation.  I'm so glad that I did!

SK-II is a highly awarded best seller that is referred to as "miracle water".  The Facial Treatment Essence is one of the first essences created.  Wondering what an "essence" is?!  I wondered the same, so let me explain.  Essences are more easily absorb than creams and give your face an extra boost of moisture for a more beautiful, glowing complexion.  Beauty pro favorites, like SK-II Facial Treatment Essence, help stimulate the natural renewal process of the skin's outer layer to expedite your way to glowing skin.

SK-II Facial Treatment Essence is made of 90% pure Pitera™, which is an ingredient derived from a unique yeast strain from a natural sake fermentation process.  Pitera™, which was discovered in Japan 37 years ago, remains unchanged today and it promotes skin rejuvenation and hydrated, radiant, and youthful looking skin.

Since starting this #OneBottleAwayFrom journey, I've noticed several positive changes with my skin.  My skin tone has improved (dark spots are less noticeable), my skin feels soft and hydrated, my pores appear smaller, and I truly feel like my skin has that "glow"!  I've been so pleased with my short-term results and I'm excited to see my skin transform even more as I continue to use SK-II's Facial Treatment Essence.

I feel great knowing that for over 6 months I have been working on my overall health and well-being and now that I am taking even better care of my skin, I feel like I am reaching many of my goals that I set at the start of this journey.

Thanks so much for allowing me to share a bit more about my personal journey today and as always, thanks so much for stopping by!
