“I’m actually quite surprised, because my skin looks amazing after being in such dry weather,” said Chiara in the video as she prepares for a photo shoot lensed by fashion photographer, Jesper McIlroy. She continued, “I cannot believe my skin faced the wild and survived.”

“I was worried but the photos look great, so I’m happy,” said Si-young. “My skin defeated the extreme environment of this volcano.”

SK-II Facial Treatment Essence is made up of 90% Pitera, a natural bio-ingredient containing vitamins, amino acids, and minerals. Pieta helps skin retain its natural functions, so your skin stays Crystal Clear all the time. Besides that, it also helps to lock moisture from within over time to overcome dryness, which can be caused by exposure to extreme hot and dry as well as cold and dry conditions.
