UV Protection Made Simple

This is DEFINITELY not the case. Women in Japan, where Shiseido originated, are famous for having the world’s most amazing complexions – and believe me this is not down to genetics. It’s because of brilliant skincare routines and products like Shiseido, that are more than 30 years more advanced than western skincare.

I am getting my sun protection and my skin is absorbing the natural active ingredients within the powder.
