SK-II Skin Signature Range
September 9, 2009 by admin
Filed under Beauty Product News, SK-II
THE LATEST DISCOVERY IN SKIN SCIENCE – SK-II INTRODUCES ITS NEW SIGNATURE SERIES SKINCARE RANGE
We are all aware of the stress our skin encounters on a daily basis through poor diet, air pollution, UV exposure and hormonal imbalance, so it’s no wonder that our skin loses its ability to maintain its radiance and firmness as we age. Going right to the heart of fundamental skin care, SK-II has developed the NEW SK-II Signature Series range to target these external stresses and to help to restore skin’s firmness and radiance – giving the skin back its own natural
‘power.’
Driven by the insight that the skin loses its resilience as we age, SK-II scientists began investigating the concept of Skin Power, the skin’s own natural ability to withstand stress and maintain its texture, radiance and firmness. Delving further the study revealed the existence of a Skin Tipping Point. As our Skin Power declines with age, there is a tipping point marked by a sudden
change that typically occurs in the 30s.
Misa Ito, SK-II Scientific Communications Manager explains, “As you age, your skin undergoes different changes. Whilst these may not seem prominent at the start, as the changes accumulate, the signs of ageing become more obvious as the outer layer of the skin is exposed to damage such as oxidation, UV exposure and moisture loss. So, our skin’s ‘power’ is determined by two key
aspects: the skin’s tolerance – which protects the skin from stress and the skin’s ability to regenerate itself. ”
These new insights prompted SK-II scientists to start looking for the key to restoring Skin Power and prolonging one’s Skin Tipping Point and found the key may lie in the Anti-Oxidant Response Element (ARE1). ARE is a naturally-occurring ‘’control tower” in the skin which activates the production of anti-oxidants in the skin to combat ageing stress. SK-II’s advanced research
has discovered that ARE activity diminishes with age and this leads to a vicious cycle that impacts the skin’s natural ability to restore its firmness, smoothness and radiance.
Breakthrough Ingredient – Oli-Vityl:
Intensive investigation of hundreds of ingredients brought SK-II scientists to the discovery of Oli-Vityl, a new naturally derived ingredient from an olive species that thrives in Tuscany. This breakthrough ingredient helps the skin’s ability to regenerate and restore its original Skin Power. When combined with Pitera™, Oli-Vityl amplifies its efficacy and promotes anti-oxidant proteins
in the skin. The combination of Pitera™ and another new ingredient – Signaline™ work together to supply lost nutrients back to the skin. When combined with new Oli-Vityl, this anti-ageing cocktail boosts the skin’s production of collagen and hyaluronan (the skin’s ability to regenerate itself). All of the Signature Series range contains new Oli-Vityl.
The Signature Series line up:
SK-II’s NEW Signature Series was born to help the skin sustain its original youthful beauty:
Skin Signature Skin Signature (the hero product of the range – a daily moisturiser for both day and night) (80g) RRP$195
Skin Signature 3D Redefining Mask (a stretchable cloth-like mask which fits to the contours of the face) (6 pieces) RRP$180
Skin Signature Cream-In Foundation Compact (a foundation that cares for the skin (10.5g) RRP$100
Beauty by Design with the Signature Series
Another breakthrough innovation of the Skin Signature Series is its in-store counseling philosophy of helping women to design their beauty. The Beauty Design System involves two aspects: helping women map their known skin needs and helping them discover their unknown skin needs. Known skin needs include the visible signs of ageing like fine lines, wrinkles and sagging.
What is groundbreaking about the new counseling system is that it helps women identify their unknown skin – unknown skin needs are such things as future pigmentation and skin discolourations that are not always visible to the naked eye. From there, SK-II’s beauty counselors can help women design a personalised Skin Signature Series regimen to address specific skin needs.
Availability & pricing: The Beauty Design System is currently available at SK-II counters at David Jones and Myer and the new SK-II Skin Signature Range will be available at SK-II counters at David Jones and Myer from August 15th 2009 onwards.

Filed under Beauty Product News, Featured, Max Factor
Discover new Max Factor Second Skin Foundation – a breakthrough foundation designed to synchronise with the look and feel of the skin for a perfect match, even close-up.

Formulated with innovative award-winning foundation technology, Max Factor Second Skin Foundation mimics the appearance and feel of natural skin. The innovative formula covers imperfections and delivers a flawless complexion. Max Factor Second Skin Foundation is the closest our foundations get to natural skin.
Women want to be complimented on the beauty of their skin, not their foundation. They want perfectly
natural looking skin and not visible, patchy foundation, jaw line tide marks or chalky undertones. Their ultimate goal is a foundation which will enhance their skin beautifully, feel great and be virtually undetectable, even close-up.
The breakthrough Second Skin Technology works on two levels. Firstly, a blend of unique high resolution pigments cover imperfections while mirroring the natural colour of the skin. Secondly, the foundation contains the same amount of water as skin, to perfectly match the surface energy so that it is virtually undetectable.

“Max Factor Second Skin Foundation gives you the finish a professional makeup artist would achieve. It provides amazing coverage but feels and looks lightweight. It’s also very easy to work in to skin and amazingly blends in to the right shade. The result is a bare look with a slightly velvety, matte and clean finish.”
The end result – coverage that looks and feels like real skin.
Available in six shades – Natural, Warm Almond, Golden, Bronze, Ivory and Blushing Beige.
By Jennifer Hodgetts
New Product & Development Manager
Proctor & Gamble
Research & Development Europe
“Ultimately, the secret of the Max Factor Second Skin Foundation formula is down to its pigment
coating and special patented encapsulated colourants – which, in combination with the high water content, allow it to match the micro variation and texture of perfect looking skin.
Max Factor Second Skin Foundation is different. It is specially designed to match the colour and texture of the skin, because it is engineered to be skin loving. It flows more readily and evenly onto the skin to provide good coverage in a super lightweight and refined foundation film that feels like real skin.
A mix of special coated pigments and patented encapsulated colourants not only give a great colour match, they also go a step further to match the multi-chromatic nature of perfect skin.”

More about Tea Tree
The enterprising farmers in Kenya who provide the tea tree oil used by The Body Shop, have been growing tea tree organically since 2007, as a way of diversifying their income and planning for the future.
Once the tea tree has grown to two metres tall, these experts hand-pick the leaves. This helps ensure The Body Shop receives higher quality oil – as only the best leaves are chosen. Each leaf is mixed with water in the distillation unit, and pressurised steam is passed through the leaves, which releases the oil. The oil and vapours are cooled, condensing further.
Any excess water is removed and the oil is then ready to be used by The Body Shop in the Tea Tree range of skin care products, where it’s mixed with the formulas to deliver clinically-proven Tea Tree results.
The new, reformulated Tea Tree Range will be available in-store from 3 August 2009.
M.A.C. – BECOME A COLLECTOR: WIN AN ORIGINAL MARILYN MINTER
September 9, 2009 by admin
Filed under Beauty Event News, Featured, MAC
This spring M.A.C Cosmetics is launching the new colourful collection MAKEUP ART which features three different lines all inspired by the beautiful bold colours of spring. What makes this new collection most exciting are the pieces of art that have been created by three prominent international artists in collaboration with M.A.C. Inspired from the array of colours and textures of the new collection, the artists developed three very unique works of art that reflect the playful and dramatic palettes of spring.
As part of the launch in Australia, M.A.C Cosmetics is giving away one of these original pieces of art created exclusively for M.A.C by renown photographer Marilyn Minter.
The runner –up will win the complete Marilyn Minter Makeup Art Cosmetics Collection, including four sensational shades of pigments, four glamorous glitters, and a signature, special edition gloss.
Marilyn Minter
Marilyn Minter brings a certain dishevelled glamour to art that is almost too sexy for words. Her extreme close-up photographs of lips, eyelashes, fingernails, freckles, tongues and high heels blur the line between gorgeous and grotesque. Often they become the subjects of her monumental, enamel on aluminium paintings where even a model’s beads of perspiration are indistinguishable from her jewels. That gift for sparkle is one reason Minter was a natural for the high-key glitter pigments in Make-Up Art Cosmetics’ fall collection. She is an artist who shifts easily between art and fashion, billboards and gallery walls, or from the prestigious Whitney Biennial to photo shoots with such outsize personalities as Pamela Anderson. “I never know what I’m going to shoot before I look through the lens,” Minter says. “I’m looking for the accident to happen.”
BECOME A COLLECTOR: WIN AN ORIGINAL MARILYN MINTER.
This is your chance to win an original work of art created exclusively for M.A.C by renowned photographer Marilyn Minter.
