All About Cate Blanchett

"It's not part of my skincare ritual...It is my skincare ritual."
Cate Blanchett.

Cate was first introduced to SK-II skincare products by a friend seven years ago and noticed instantly a profound difference in her skin. Since then she has incorporated SK-II's meditative rituals into her life and embraced the power of its miracle ingredient Pitera which has helped her unlock her true essence.

SK-II is inspired by a unique philosophy. The core of this philosophy is that there is an intrinsic beauty in every living thing and that we are at our most beautiful when we are true to this essence, true to our uniquely individual beauty - making our skincare ritual unlike any other.

Since Cate's discovery she has felt compelled to share the secret of her beautiful skin with others. She has genuine passion and belief in SK-II and the miracle of Pitera. That's why it seemed only natural for the award-winning actress to become SK-II's global ambassador.

Q: What inspires you in beauty?
Cate: I think that beauty is something that is constantly evolving. It's not a static thing. You know a flower is just as beautiful when it's a bud as when it's an emerging or full flower - there's beauty to it. So I think I tend to like things that wouldn't traditionally be billed as beautiful.


Q: What role does skincare play in beauty?
Cate: If you've had a heavy night and the kids have been up... at 4 again... you can look at the mirror and feel demoralised. But I have this support structure (with SK-II) and I can feel a lot more positive then I would otherwise.


Q: Whitening is a tradition within Asia. How would you explain it to a woman in New York?
Cate: I always think of it as being a brightening thing. Like it evens out the tone of my skin. I'll use the Whitening Source because it gives me a more radiant look where as the Whitening Mask is more of a treatment.


Q: As an ambassador for SK-II, what would you like to tell women?
Cate: It's about taking a deep breath and knowing there are so many things you can do that make you feel confident, and that maximise your exterior appearance but also work on your interior. I think this is the basis of the SK-II range. It is incredibly zen and potent and true. And it stands the test of time.
