Kate Somerville Skin Health Experts: You must go there if you can.

We’re on the Somerville recommended regime right now, which includes every-other-day exfoliation (she actually formulated the jar in front of us). It’s a Detoxify Enzyme Scrub & Mask in One to keep congestion at bay. Natural papaya and pumpkin enzymes work overtime to penetrate pores, kill bacteria and digest dead skin cells. Jojoba beads lift dry and damaged skin cells from the surface, enabling the enzymes to get to work. It also stimulates circulation and detoxifies skin – allowing cells to receive more oxygen.

We then use the Total Vitamin -- Think multi-vitamin for your skin, which feeds skin essential vitamins and minerals for restoring health and vitality. This super light serum contains Vitamins A, B, C & E to balance skin, fight free radicals and combat aging. It retails for $85 for 1.7 oz.

Finally, we follow up with Quench, an advanced hydrating formula which locks in moisture and leaves skin hydrated and healthy. Hylauranic Acid helps cells retain water, therefore ensuring well-hydrated skin and a healthier, more youthful complexion. It’s non-greasy and contains no oils, leaving skin feeling silky. It retails for $65 for 1.7 oz.
