Hello Bunnies!! I was so glad to be invited by Kose and Nuffnang to a beauty workshop last week! I believe many of you have heard of Kose already - the internationally-established and trusted skin-care brand which originated from Japan since 1985!
I remember telling my mum about the beauty workshop the night before, and she responded very enthusiastically: "Wa! Kose is one of my favourite brands!!! Why aren't you taking me along to the workshop??"
oops, sorry mum, maybe next time?
Alright, so I am here to blog about Kose's STAR PRODUCT - The Kose Sekkisei Lotion!!
Sekkisei means bright & translucent in Japanese! I believe that most Asian women dream of living within a cloak of fair and translucent skin. But HOW?
Kose understands what all Asian women want! Now they are sharing their secret recipe on how to have a beautiful and translucent skin. After a serious of meticulous research, the Kose team has carefully sorted out 3 major extracts that can help brightening the skin! Of course, "research" doesn't seem to be something that matters much to us. But little do we know that they have actually tested approximately 100 different oriental plants before shortlisting the 3 of prime significance?!!
So, what are the VIP-ingredients contained in this blue bottle?
Coix seed extract
Increases metabolism, whitens, moisturizes, and prevents roughness of skin.
Melothria
Suppresses melanin production and provide whitening effect on skin.

So now we all know what melanin means to us heh :P
Angelica
Provides disinfecting, moisturizing and whitening effects
Alright, now I will show you the steps to apply the Sekkisei Lotion Mask!! (Note: it's very special and different compared to other lotions.)
First and most important step of all, CLEANSE YOUR DEAR FACE!!!

What are these?!! No, they are not marshmallow nor sweets haha!! They are LOTION MASKS prepared and packaged exclusively by Kose!
You must be wondering: "Huh? Why are lotion masks in such a round shape?"
Well, they don't look like masks at all, do they?

Well, they don't look like masks at all, do they?
Hehe, let me show you some magic tricks okay?
So, firstly, you will need to pour a generous amount of Sekkisei Lotion into the cap, up to the designated mark for usage convenience!

Next, drop the Lotion Mask (which doesn't look like a mask at all HAHA) into the cap!
Allow the Lotion Mask to absorb the Sekkisei Lotion for a period of time in the cap. It will get slightly puffed when it's ready to be used!

*Puff*
Now gently unfold the mask..
Taadaa!! Now it transforms into a mask!!
Remember, if there's any excess lotion left in the cap, DO NOT POUR THEM AWAY!! Instead, it's recommended to apply them over the neck area, or even over your body!

Alright, now enjoy the cooling sensation rendered by the lotion mask. Grab the excuse of taking a nap for about 5-10 mins! :p
Take some time to rest your beautiful eyes. Relax.
And viola!!! Say hello and welcome your beautiful, radiant and translucent skin!!
Honestly, the Sekkisei lotion is really hydrating and it seeps easily into my skin; it feels just like snow melting into my pores!!!! I can really feel the refreshing sensation on skin, and by only a single slide of finger tip, you can already trace the silky smoothness and immense hydration. I just can't stop feeling my skin (molesting my cheeks myself lol) after using the Sekkisei Lotion Mask!
I'm absolutely in love with the Sekkisei Lotion. It has already been a part of my skincare routine!
