And they come in sustainable refills, too!
Our body is composed of 60 percent water, and it is recommended to drink eight glasses of water a day. We need water, period.
And we also need moisture to keep our skin smooth, but, truth be told, there are days that we are so busy that we forget to hydrate. So what if there’s a skincare line that can help your skin hydrate versus products that promise long-lasting hydration?
Shiseido just released a pair of hydrating creams dubbed Essential Energy that harness the power of purified hyaluronic acid and panax ginseng root extract. The use of ginseng is not new to most southeast asians, with people using it for over 2,000 years as a natural restorative herb. Now, Shiseido is able to extract its benefits into their latest cream by nurturing deep moisture and beauty circulation from the inside out.
Available in Hydrating Cream and Hydrating Day Cream (with SPF 20), these creams are powered by Lifeblood technology that promises to deliver inner hydration power. Despite difficulties in living a holistic lifestyle which includes drinking lots of water, healthy diet, and exercise, applying these creams religiously will help give you that moisture and glow one needs.
Texture is light and airy, making it easier to be absorbed by the skin. And with its combined soothing scents that’s reminiscent of a fragrant bouquet of flowers (think Magnolia, rose, white camelia, and lavender), each application is a well-deserved self-care routine to start and end your day. It also has lemon oil that uplifts one’s mood as well. Try applying Shiseido Ultimune prior to Essential Energy, with results of twice the hydration for extra glowing skin.
Best news of all, this Japanese beauty brand continues to innovate with its mission in developing sustainable products. The creams can be bought via refills, reducing plastic waste by 81 percent as compared to the usual packaging.
