Shu Uemura Sakura Rose Petal Mask - Prep Your Skin for Spring!

Cherry blossom viewing season, also known as hanami, has arrived in Japan. Every year, Japan’s first cherry blossoms, sakura, appear in Okinawa islands of southern Japan, reaches Kyoto and Tokyo at the end of March or the beginning of April, and then move northwards to Hokkaido by early May. In Japan, cherry blossoms symbolize clouds, the ephemeral nature of life, the awareness of impermanence, or the transience of things. Every year the Japanese Meteorological Agency track the sakura zensen and Japanese pay close attention to these forecasts honoring the centuries-old practice of hanami by picnicking under a blooming cherry tree, or holding flower-viewing parties in parks, shrines and temples.

To celebrate this year’s season of enjoying the transient beauty of flowers, the famous Japanese beauty brand Shu Uemura introduces a skin care product inspired by cherry blossom - the Sakura Rose Petal Mask.

Sakura Rose Petal Mask is a hydrating jelly textured gel mask infused with genuine rose petals and sakura leaf extract. Designed to deliver a burst of moisture, this mask leaves your skin looking supple, soft, smooth, and fresh.

It comes with a promise of a pink translucent complexion, and a youthful, healthy look. The mask is formulated with rose essential oil, rose petal, and rose extract, which are three skin-loving ingredients known or their antimicrobial powers and ability to increase skin’s permeability.
