Some people like to spend hours on their beauty routine, The steps are made up of: Ultimate The Cleansing Oil, seeing it as precious 'me time'. Others might just choose whatever’s quickest and easiest. Or perhaps you’re a mix Ultimate Creamy Soap, Ultimate The Micro Lotion, Ultimate The Emulsion, Ultimate The Eye Cream. After of both - sometimes maximalist, sometimes minimalist, depending on your mood? (I think that’s probably most of you've double cleansed and double moisturised, move on to their new wonder products: the Biomimesis Veil Potion. us).

The key word with Sensai is ‘Saho’ - loosely meaning ‘to bloom beautifully’. In terms of skincare, this means a ritual that’s not a million miles from a Japanese tea ceremony, that incorporates double cleansing, double moisturising and double application. Serious stuff!
When using, apply the Veil’s companion Effector first to set the skin then follow manufacturer’s instructions by spraying the Potion slowly on the cheek until the area turns white (approximately 30 seconds per cheek). Then spray the entire forehead in the same manner. This locks in moisture and enhances your night time skincare by forming an ultra thin membrane called the micro-fiber veil (using a specialised polymer solution). The result is a significant reduction in transepidermal water loss.
Sensai’s signature ingredient is Koishimaru Silk. Why? Their researchers discovered that this precious silk has the ability to promote the production of hyaluronic acid - a natural substance within the skin that nurtures and builds skin.
To set the Veil, press the sprayed areas lightly with your hands until it turns transparent. Wear overnight. In the morning gently remove (it's like wiping away a fine layer of skin). Then continue with your usual morning skincare routine.
Japanese brand Sensai (exclusive to Harrods) have taken the ‘maximalist’ approach to their skincare range, seeing it as a part of a bigger whole: an entire way of life.
