Days since my last post:11

Ohaiyou! I guess by now you’d be sick of my constant babbles about the UK, so I thought I’d come in with something a little more interesting than just travels. Meet my new beauty regime friends, Kose Sekkisei.

Tadaaaaa!

Comprising of basic and special care, the Kose Sekkisei range is a well-known beauty regime that every girl should come to know about. So let’s get down to business and talk a little basic. What comes through your mind when it comes to caring for your skin, or specifically your face?

GET CLEANING

Kose Sekkisei White Liquid Wash.

I would say it’s the cleansing. I mean come on, you’ve been out all day and exposed to the dirt, grime, and a whole lot of nasty stuff, so wouldn’t cleansing be tops on your list? Topping that off with things like make up for the day? Yes, I would say good cleansing is in place. 

The Kose Sekkisei White Liquid Wash that’s infused with Rubus Suavissmus Extract to soothe your skin from UK damages not only gently removes impurities from your skin, it also makes sure that it is mild enough so your skin doesn’t feel like it’s just been grazed upon a stone for the ultimate dryness. Yep, still nice and supple.

GETTING READY

But really, cleansing shouldn’t be the only thing on your list because your face isn’t going to repair itself as much. This is where we pull on the Sekkisei Lotion with Coix seed extracts that’s lightweight and refreshing, all in good place to enhance the skin’s translucency and clarity. 

This star product of the Kose Sekkisei range is a popular pick to not only brighten your skin, but also gives it a cooling and calming touch, especially if you’ve been through a long day. Trust me, it’s like a tingling touch of refreshment to your face that your skin will thank you for.

PSST…IT’S A SECRET

But you know what’s really amazing about the Sekkisei Lotion? Yep, it turns into a mask. Known as the Bihadagoyomi Mask, all you’ll have to do is pour a little lotion and soak the lotion mask so it picks up all the goodness before applying it on your skin for 5 – 10 minutes.

THIS IS A MASK?!

Yep! And this is how you set it up!

You’ll notice how the mask plumps up after several seconds, and that’s when you know it’s good to go on your face. Giving 10x more moisture to your skin, thie Bihadagoyomi mask is a perfectly quick fix to help brighten and rejuvenate your skin so you’ll feel really good inside and out. Why do I say inside? Because hey, you have 5 – 10 minutes as the mask is on your face to relax and take a chill pill. It helps what’s inside okay?

When I first started with skincare, I used to think that I could always get away from moisturising as my face has been ridiculously oily. It was later on that I realized I had combination skin, and several parts of my face was getting dull. Imagine my horror, and from then on, I realized that moisturizing was pretty different from having oil on my face.

Topped with the goodness of Angelica extract, the Sekkisei Emulsion acts to bring moisture to your skin so it remains supple and soft without the sticky feeling. Lightweight and comfortable, it works deeply into your skin layers to keep it moisturized, and helps with brightening up your skin from the inside.

Now that we’ve done the basics, it’s obvious that our skin also needs a little tender loving care that’s out of the ordinary. I mean, think about it. You’d probably do something that’s out of the world for your other half too, right? The same goes with your skin. So it’s only right to surprise it a little with the Sekkisei Clear Whitening Mask!

Infused with Red Oolong Tea extracts to tighten pores and Chinese Quince extract to control sebum, the Sekkisei Clear Whitening Mask helps removes blackheads, dead skin cells, and tightens visible pores. It’s easy to use, and though surprising from its black appearance, you’ll be surprised how much impurities it captures as a peel-off mask.

Oh hello.

I absolutely love peel-off masks, and I love the Kose Sekkisei one even more for the clean feeling it gives me after every use. I usually do deep clean peel-off masks once every two weeks, just because I want to have the ease of mind that I’ve got an impurity-free skin even on the inside.

So yes, I may be young and all, but skincare should never be left as the last thing to care for. While I also take in consideration things like keeping myself fit (And trying very hard to lose weight), I always think that your skin should glow from within so you stay forever radiant, and forever you. The Kose Sekkisei range is such as an oriental formula for a more moisturized, brighter, and evenly toned skin, and I must say that I’ve been fairly glad to have discovered the magic within.

A magic that began even as I unboxed it!

I’d like to thank Kose Malaysia for this opportunity to grab this trial kit that retails at RM 99 at selected stores, and also The Butterfly Project Malaysia for having me on board the journey to better skin. Until I get to visit Japan where Kose comes from, ciao!
