Happy Friday, beautiful people. 🙂 I am LOVING the warm weather we are having lately here in Missouri (aside from, you know, all the rain). I absolutely cannot wait until Memorial Day when my pool opens up! I plan on doing ALL my work in front of the pool and getting a nice tan to go along with it. Now in addition to all that sunshine — there is something that REALLY drives me crazy: my dry skin. Typically throughout the year, I have extremely oil skin. But when I’m in chlorine and the sun, my skin takes a beating and it gets flaky and g r o s s. SO. In honor of the impending dry skin, let’s jump into it.
How To Battle Summer-Time Dryness With SK-II
This post is sponsored by SK-II. All opinions are mine and mine alone. #FaceTheWild #InPartnershipWithSKII #SKII
Brand Overview: SK-II
SK-II’s iconic Facial Treatment Essence contains over 90% Pitera™, the brand’s signature ingredient discovered more than 35 years ago.
Pitera™ contains amino acids, vitamins, organic acids and minerals that transform the skin along five dimensions of firmness, texture, radiance, spot control and wrinkle resilience. With over 50 micro-nutrients, the signature ingredient Pitera™ conditions skin and helps soothe skin surface concerns that can be caused by a range external aggressors such as harsh UV and pollution.
WHY DOES THIS MATTER?
SK-II is an amazing brand with amazing ingredients, and they teamed up with National Geographic to showcase just how far your skin can go and be protected with their products. I took a special interest in this particular episode because it features Global fashion icon Chiara Ferragni. Not only is she a fashion superstar, but she got her start with her fashion blog in October of 2009. It gives hope to the little guys. 😉 She was profiled in Teen Vogue as blogger of the moment and has since been on the cover of 15 different magazines worldwide. She is one of my biggest role models and classic #ladyboss.
She stars in this video put together by SK-II to test her skin to the absolute limit. Watch this video to see how SK-II faired:
My Thoughts
There are a lot of brands that do a really great job with their products. I have a ton that I use to help fight the dryness of the summer heat and chlorine combo. HOWEVER. I am love love loving the approach that SK-II took to show their customers how incredible the product ACTUALLY is. I know you will love this product as much as I do. 10/10, kiddos. Plus don’t you want to look just like Chiara? Because I know I do….
