Chiara Ferragni, Lee Si Young and more take on sub-zero temperatures, harsh UV rays, dryness, sweltering heat and pollution effortlessly with SK-II.
Girl power and feminism are the key words this time of the year with International Women’s Day just around the corner and if there’s anything women like Sarah Chen and Stephanie Chai taught us, it’d be that we can do anything we put our hearts to, extreme weathers and forces of nature, come what may.
Driving home that message is SK-II and National Geographic, who have collaborated to put to the test SK-II’s iconic Facial Treatment Essence and its magic in helping all women take on the world fearlessly.
In a series of short vignettes, they bring actresses Kasumi Arimura of Japan, NiNi of China, Lee Si Young of South Korea and global fashion icon Chiara Ferragni to traverse the globe and explore the world in all its beauty – and toughest environments.
The four women take on sub-zero temperatures, harsh UV rays, dryness, sweltering heat and pollution effortlessly with the help of SK-II’s signature ingredient Pitera. Here they are in a series of powerful and enigmatic shots by fashion photographers Jesper McIlroy and Kirk Cheong.
Kasumi Arimura, Yanbaru Jungle, Okinawa Japan
She’s a natural beauty both on-screen and in the dense tropical forests of Yanbaru jungle in Okinawa, Japan.

The actress is completely unaffected by harsh UV rays, sweltering heat nor biting insects thanks to SK-II Facial Treatment Essence that is made up of over 90% Pitera that helps skin retain its natural moisture and clarity.
Chiara Ferragni, Anza Borrego Desert
Trading her front row seats of the latest season’s fashion shows for the parched and scorching Anza Borrego desert, one of the most arid places in Western America, Chiara Ferragni isn’t afraid of dehydration or dizziness that come with the dry heat.

Armed with SK-II’s Pitera, her skin is able to lock in moisture from within to overcome the exposure to heat, dryness and UV rays.
NiNi, frozen mountain range, Northern China
The home country of NiNi is blessed with beautiful snowy mountain ranges that can also be torturously cold with sub-zero temperatures and moisture-less conditions.

She fearlessly endures a trek through it for the shoot, protected by SK-II’s Pitera that has over 50 micro-nutrients to condition skin and helps soothe skin surface concerns.
Lee Si Young, Ijen Volcano, Indonesia
This fiery beauty who is also a national boxer on top of being an actress lives up to her reputation for adrenaline – she ventures into the stunning and highly dangerous active Ijen Volcano in Indonesia, unperturbed by the harmful sulfurous fumes.
