I’m the go-to guide gal and routine queen here at Adore Beauty. I have a background in media and communications, and over 3 years experience in the beauty industry.
When I’m not answering all of your burning questions, you can find me spruiking underrated products to my co-workers and trying to figure out what our best bloody mascara is.
A lot of people will tell you that their secret to clear, glowing skin is a simple, straightforward routine.
If you want an easy skin care routine that will restore that radiant, lit-from-within look, try our top picks from SK-II’s luxurious range.
Here are the 4 products you'll need to help get glowing skin...
Step 1: A Gentle Cleansing Cream.
The SK-II Facial Treatment Gentle Cleanser 120g is the perfect way to cleanse the complexion to reveal clear, glowing skin.
Ideal for dry skin types, this rich emulsion gently removes makeup while nourishing the skin underneath, keeping your skin soft and supple.
How to use: Take a small amount of this luxurious cream and warm it up in your palms before dotting it onto dry skin (including your forehead, cheeks, nose and chin).
Then, gently spread the product across your whole face, slowly massaging it in. Emulsify, and then rinse.

Step 2: A Lightweight Chemical Exfoliant.
Light exfoliation is often the key to reviving dull complexions. Hydrate and clear dry skin with the SK-II Facial Treatment Clear Lotion 160mL, a clarifying lotion that removes dirt and dead skin.
This lightweight lotion tightens and clears out pores using a combination of Alpha Hydroxy Acids, while also conditioning the skin using SK-II’s famous rejuvenating Pitera™.
How to use: Douse a cotton pad with the watery lotion and gently wipe over the T-zone, neck and decolletage.
Apply morning and night for the best results, and always follow with a moisturiser and SPF.

Step 3: A Hydrating, Brightening Essence.
Boost your skin’s brightness with the SK-II Genoptics UltrAura Essence 30ml for your most luminous glow yet.
Japan’s No.1 brightening essence has had an exciting renovation that’s part of SK-II’s iconic GenOptics series.
The new and improved SK-II Genoptics Ultraura essence is still powered by signature ingredient SK-II PITERA™ as well as high powered antioxidants to protect the skin.
This travel-friendly essence promotes healthier looking skin.
How to use: After cleansing, dispense a full dropper amount into your palms and begin to pat the product into your face and neck.
Gently massage extra product into areas you particularly want to brighten. Use both morning and night for the best results.

Step 4: A Firming Moisturiser
When it comes to moisturiser, we love a dewy finish. Improve suppleness and elasticity with the SK-II Skinpower Advanced Cream 80g.
This firming moisturiser has a velvety texture that sinks right into the skin.
SK-II’s signature ingredient PITERA™ is at the core of the formula, alongside kinren and white peony extracts to protect the skin from daily aggressors that cause ageing while stimulating the regenerating of new skin for enhanced firmness, radiance and hydration.
How to use: In both the morning and evening, take a pearl sized amount into your palms using a spatula.
Spread the cream across the entire face, starting from the centre and moving out, making sure you do not pull or rub the skin.
Make sure to massage the product into the skin properly.
