The SK-II Story
SK-II’s journey goes back to the 1970’s, when they began their quest to find a skincare ingredient that would make beautiful skin a reality for anyone. It turns out that the scientists found themselves in a sake brewery, and the breath-taking sight of the soft and youthful hands of the aged sake brewers was the inspiration behind finding the skincare miracle ingredient they would eventually uncover… Pitera™.
“Pitera™ is full of vitamins, amino acids, minerals and organic acids that work together to allow the skin’s natural surface rejuvenation process to function at its prime.”
Known as their cult product; the SK-II Mid-Day Essence is a round-the-clock nourishment spray, for a boost of crystal clear skin any time of the day. Daily environmental stresses can take their toll on your skin, which can make the skin appear dull and dry.
The special formula in Mid-Day Essence contains a high level of Pitera™ combined with a unique MoistureLock Complex in the finest particles to penetrate through your skin, even with makeup on, and lock in the moisture.
The SK-II Mid-Day Essence hydrates your skin and helps keep a fresh morning look, all day, with long lasting moisturisation.
Krista has been using the Mid-Day Miracle spray as an addition to her daily cleansing routine, as well as throughout the day. Applying after serum, but before your moisturiser is Krista’s ideal time to spritz on this product, as an extra hydrating boost, and then apply as you feel throughout the day as it works perfectly on top of makeup too.
Celebrities such as Cate Blanchett are one of many fans of this miracle product. Revealing her red carpet makeup secrets Cate says “Last year at the Academy Awards, I decanted a bottle of Facial Treatment Essence into a spray bottle to keep my makeup fresh and skin hydrated. This year, SK-II made sure I was well prepared with the launch of my new favourite handbag product, SK-II Mid-Day Essence with Pitera. Just a few spritz and it instantly revives my skin and keeps my makeup looking fresh with long-lasting moisture throughout the ceremony.”
SK-II Mid-Day Essence is now available in Harrods in its new travel-size (£54 for 50ml bottle) which makes this little bottle a perfect on-the-go product for your handbag.
