THE MIRACLE OF MIRACLE WATER

Ever since I’ve been posting on Instagram, many have asked me about the benefits of using SK-II FTE (Facial Treatment Essence). As I have mentioned everywhere, I used to have a real problematic skin condition, and now it’s just a history. Weird enough that a lot didn’t believe me when I told me that my facial skin has gone through a major breakout, that I had those teeny phase of wanting to cry every time I look at my face in the mirror. Trust me, it happened.

In 2011, stressful was an everyday thing to deal with. My skin, that’d never been that bad, suddenly was pimply and totally far from fair. I tried almost everything I could, including going to the most recommended doctor in Jakarta (including the queuing from around 5 in the morning). At first, in about 2-3 months, my skin got better; unfortunately it only lasted for half a year. And the stress returned yet again.

In September last year, a miracle brought me to a magical meeting with Leo, who works for Proximity, the agency of SK-II Indonesia, and I can proudly say that he was my savior. He brought me to a skin check in SK-II official counter in Plaza Senayan. At that time I wasn’t even familiar with SK-II at all, the only thing I could think of when they mentioned SK-II was its advertising (the one with the Japanese old sake maker who had aged but not so much his skin, remember?). But then again, I didn’t know that I was yet to fall in love with the miracles SK-II then brought to me ever since.

After the skin check, I discovered what my skin problem really was. And I mean in real details, I actually understood what’s going on with my facial skin all this time, and why it’s been a nightmare to me. Then a skin consultant went on with suggesting me which of their products I should use, and started with their Cellumination set which, of course, included the infamous SK-II FTE, also known as the ‘miracle water’.

A week of my new life with SK-II had begun, and my skin didn’t show any progress. Some more dry bumps on my skin even appeared. Until a month later, it all started to get better. Gradual significant improvements had started to make a show on my skin. However, keep in mind that those major improvements also wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t improve my ways of living. It was obviously not the skincare alone; I also started practicing detox and diet in makeup (which means simply not applying any heavy makeup for a while, sometimes no makeup at all!). After 6 months of being with the ‘miracles’, my skin was total nightmare free. It became a lot moister, it began to glow, the skin tones were even and it’s obviously way healthier.

My point is, I have found the ‘secret key’ to finding my crystal clear skin and a really good investment for my skin, which is the ultimate SK-II, especially their glorious Facial Treatment Essence.

But most importantly, dear readers, I’m not exactly encouraging you to use the products that I’m using, whatever the brand is. Each person has different needs and of course different skin problems. So the best way is to still have your skin checked in order to know what kind of ‘secret key’ you need to find your gold. Be picky for the sake of your best skin!
