Review: SK-II's Facial Treatment Mask

Greetings, my friends!

Bottom Line - while this hydrates well, I'm not going to repurchase it again for some time.

SK-II:
SK-II is a Japanese skincare company that was founded in 1980 by Japanese scientists. During the 1970, Japanese scientists began researching powerful naturally derived ingredients that could be used in skincare products. When they observed workers at a sake brewery in Japan, they noticed while their faces appeared aged - their hands (which were submerged in fermented yeast everyday to make the sake) were smooth, youthful, and clear. The scientist began research the yeast and discovered a specific yeast strain which they felt was responsible for this youthful transformation. PITERA - the yeast strain - is now in every one of their products and has been marketed to the world as the secret to everlasting youth.

SK-II's Facial Treatment Mask:
This is cult favorite! So many people swear by this mask, but I found that it did little more than hydrate my skin. I know people with wrinkles often tout the benefits of this, but I don't have wrinkles yet to say whether or not this worked against them. I'm not opposed to trying this again in a few years, but for now - I'm not going to repurchase it. However, if you're someone in need of hydration and have some wrinkles - this isn't a bad mask to try out.

Stats:
This costs $17 for one sheet, $95 for six sheets, and $135 for 10 sheets. You can purchase this on SK-II's website (www.sk-ii.com), but it's also available at Neiman Marcus, Macys, Saks Fifth Avenue, Sephora, and Nordstroms. For those in and around the Tysons Corner Area, I highly recommend John at the SK-II counter at Saks Fifth Avenue in Tyson's II (otherwise known as "Fancy Tysons.") Not only is he incredibly knowledgable on the SK-II line, but he has a near eidetic memory and can remember what you've purchased, what your concerns are, how your skin looks, and who you are when you call in.

I do not recommend buying high-end beauty products from Amazon or eBay. While I love Amazon and eBay and most sellers are legitimate with quality products - beauty products tend to be highly susceptible to fraud. If you're going to spend your hard earned money, make sure you're buying what you think you're buying.

That's it! Let me know if you have any questions.

Review: 6 Different SokoGlam Sheet Masks

Greetings, my friends! Bottom Line - I would buy almost every mask again with the exception of the E-Nature mask. E-Nature: Per SokoGlam.com, E-Nature was founded on the principle of creating breakthrough formulas for your skin by fusing cutting-edge Korean technology with the safest and most effective natural ingredients. E-Nature's Squeeze Green Watery Sheet Mask: This mask was "okay." It's a cotton mask soaked in watery essence (not goo) which felt nice and cool on my face, but I didn't see any difference other than that it slightly hydrated my skin. It's meant to treat excess sebum, but I didn't notice a difference either. This costs $2.50, but I don't think I'll buy it again. Klavuu: Per SokoGlam.com, Klavuu is Korea's first marine pearl cosmetic brand that infuses natural pearl, essential oils, and marine plant extracts into their signature formulas. Natural pearls will enrich, hydrate, and firm the skin, for the most ra...

Review: Dermalogica's Oil Free Matte SPF 30

Greetings, my friends! Bottom Line - this is a great matte daytime lotion which I think is worth a try for someone looking for a new lotion. Dermalogica : Dermalogica is an American skincare company founded by Jane and Rey Wurwand in 1986. However, before the first Dermalogica products were made - in 1983, Jane, a U.K. trained skin therapist, opened "The International Dermal Institute" for licensed skin therapists to teach hands-on postgraduate level skincare training. Realizing there weren't products on the market which matched what she was teaching, Jane and Rey established Dermalogica. They decided they wanted a p roduct line free of common irritants and ingredients which they felt led to breakouts, such as lanolin, SD alcohol, mineral oil, artificial colors, and fragrances - and that's exactly what they ended up creating. Dermalogica Oil Free Matte SPF 30 : This is a great light daytime lotion. Not only does it soak in quickly and leaves a matte-ish s...
