As legend has it, the SK-II beauty line and its ‘secret’ ingredient were discovered in a sake brewery. While visiting the brewery, a monk noticed the workers had uncommonly beautiful hands. Fast forward to a team of scientists, who isolated the key and named it ‘Pitera.’ The SK-II Facial Concentrate contains the highest levels of Pitera. SK-II calls it “one of the most powerful and deep moisturizers on the market” and claims it will smooth away fine lines and wrinkles to reveal a radiant glow. Cate Blanchett is counted among the fans of SK-II. And now so am I. I’ve only used it a few times but have noticed that my skin feels much softer. The fact that Japanese women are known for their flawless skin motivates me. I can’t wait to see the results after a few more weeks. Find SK-II Facial Treatment Concentrate exclusively (officially, that is) at Saks.com. Or you can just saddle up to the sushi bar and try sake’s internal ingestion benefits.
