My interest in skincare started late in life. I was in my late thirties when I stopped relying on drugstore cleanser and my mom’s moisturizer. In fact, my entry into skincare was not a product or a diet. It was injectables, which I’m talking about here.
Today, as Kate Somerville’s managing editor, I’m blessed to not just write about skincare every day. I can try every product in the line so I can confidently communicate how each skincare product works, what visible results you get, and what texture you can expect when using the skincare products. iconic Kate at home.
I am 50 years old and although I have always had dry skin, the estheticians at our Kate Somerville Skin Health Experts Clinic in Los Angeles taught me how to best care for my dry skin while targeting the visible signs of dryness. aging. Working with our founder Kate also taught me about the best morning and evening skincare routine that follows Kate’s 5 things to do daily. Below is my complete skin care regimen.
1. Clean
In the morning, I use ExfoliKate™ Cleanser to cleanse and lightly exfoliate, boost radiance and improve the appearance of pores. This daily face wash contains powerful AHAs (glycolic acid and lactic acid) and fruit enzymes that naturally exfoliate without irritation. At night, I replace it with a super-gentle, hydrating goat’s milk cleanser. It’s great for hydrating my dry skin. My husband also likes the goat milk cleanser for his oily skin as suggested during his first skin care consultation with one of the clinic nurses Kate Somerville.
2. Exfoliate
Twice a week in the shower, I book an appointment with ExfoliKate™ Intensive, Kate’s clinic-inspired super facial that’s proven to smooth texture and pores while boosting radiance in just two minutes. My husband uses the Liquid ExfoliKate™ softer on his skin at night and loves it! Both are well prepared with AHAs in various formats depending on whether you choose extremely effective or softer exfoliation.
3. Hydrate
The product I love the most in Kate’s entire skincare line – and I’ve seen the biggest transformation in my skin since using it? DermalQuench Liquid Lift™. It is inspired by the clinic’s popular oxygen treatment. The at-home version comes in an aerosol-like canister that literally sprays hyaluronic acid and oxygen into the skin, plumping, firming, and giving you a major dewy glow. I use DermalQuench morning and night…and even spray on some magic before my afternoon video calls to look radiant and refreshed.
4. Treat/moisturize
Cue the Angels of Age Repair! In 2021, Kate launched her KateCeuticals™ clinical-grade anti-aging repair collection and I’ve been hooked ever since. Concretely, morning and evening, I mix the KateCeuticals™ Firming Serum with the Total Repair Cream. When used together, they are clinically proven to improve the appearance of skin firmness after 1 week. * The secret to KateCeuticals™ Complete Age Repair? Peptides! Kate and her team have expertly formulated the entire collection with peptides that perform specific age-repairing tasks – from improving elasticity, to firming, to improving texture or hydration. The anti-aging repair line contains many other skin-transforming ingredients, including retinol and niacinamide in the resurfacing night peel, as well as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, vitamin C and cucumber extract for deliver visible results quickly.
Speaking of results, I then apply a small amount of KateCeuticals™ Eye Lift Cream around my eyes (and lips if I have extra cream). As I shared in my blog about Kate Somerville Clinic treatments that I enjoy, my under-eye area is where I notice the visible signs of aging the most, so I love the support this eye cream gives me between visits to the clinic. It contains a triple peptide complex that relaxes the appearance of wrinkles (like neurotoxins do in the clinic), visibly smoothing crow’s feet and fine lines while increasing firmness and elasticity.
5. Protect
Did you know that 80% of the visible signs of aging are caused by the sun? It makes you rethink the outdated notion that SPF is only for beach days! At the end of my morning skincare routine – and before applying makeup – I apply Daily Deflector™, Kate’s mineral sunscreen that does more than provide effective sun protection. It also protects against blue light while restoring the skin. The lightweight, non-greasy formula absorbs beautifully into the skin. My husband loves that it doesn’t leave a greasy residue on his oily skin.
Ever since I started my at-home skincare routine, I’ve not only loved how my skin looks and feels daily. I appreciate how much more comfortable I feel in my skin as I get older. Curious to know what Kate’s goat milk products can do for you?
