Kate Somerville Nourish

We made our second trip to the Kate Somerville clinic last month during the Total Beauty Blog Summit—only this time, we were with 20 of our beauty blogging friends.

Like last time, we were in awe of the gorgeous furnishings, fabrics and wall papers that Kate has selected for her renovated space. It’s simply gorgeous.

If you live near the LA area, you NEED to stop in for a service. Not only is the atmosphere to die for, the services and staff are unbelievable as well. As I said before , there’s a reason Kate Somerville is the celebrity hot spot for skincare treatments.

While we didn’t have time for a treatment during our visit, we did walk away with a sample of Kate Somerville Nourish Daily Moisturizer .

We love how calming this daily moisturizer is. It doesn’t have SPF so we reach for it when we know we’ll be glued to our desk all day.

Rich in antioxidants and other anti-aging ingredients, Nourish helps to encourage collagen production and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

But we just like the way it makes our skin feel.

Kate Somerville Nourish Daily Moisturizer is available at Nordstrom.

H20 Plus Skincare

H20 Plus Skincare

This month we’re loving H20 Plus skincare products.

Typically we like our cleanser rich and creamy, but when temperatures soar a gel cleanser can be delightfully refreshing. The H20 Plus Marine Cleansing Gel is an oil-free water-based gel that foams away makeup, oil and impurities and leaves behind a super fresh scent.

Also in this collection is the Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment , an oil free gel moisturizer that doubles as a hydrating mask. It’s a bummer there’s no SPF in this because it feels so cool and refreshing on the skin—perfect for the summer months.

Rounding out the regimen is the Night Oasis Oxygenating Rejuvenator , a night cream with ingredients like sea fennel, sea lettuce and wakame (sea kelp). Extremely light and hydrating, this night cream delivers fantastic results. After several days of use our skin felt (and looked) revitalized.

H20 Plus Oasis skincare line can be found at H20Plus.com and at the H20 Plus free-standing stores .

Shu Uemura Depsea Moisture Travel Set

Shu Uemura Depsea Moisture Travel Kit

Travel sets always catch our eye—there’s something we love about small versions of our favorite products sitting cozily in a cute travel bag.

This Depsea Moisture Travel Set from Shu Uemura houses mini versions of the popular Depsea line which uses 3 seaweed extracts and Depsea water to moisturize the skin:

  • Step 1: Depsea Moisture Lotion (50ml), an ultra-soft and lightweight toning water that smoothes and replenishes skin
  • Step 2: Depsea Moisture Replenishing Essence (30ml), a lightweight layering essence that provides the deepest hydration
  • Final Step: Depsea Moisture Replenishing Cream (13ml), an enriched, water-infused moisturizing cream that replenishes and nourishes skin.

We especially love the lightweight toning water for dry airplane cabins and hotel rooms. (Our husband applies this every day as he likes the refreshing way it moisturizes his skin.)

Packed in a convenient mesh bag to take on your travels, this Shu Uemura Depsea Moisture Travel Set is a Makeup Bag must-have. ($90 value for only $60)

Estee Lauder: Re-Nutriv Ultimate Youth Creme

Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Youth Creme

As always, the promise of youthful skin captures us with Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Youth Creme.

This “youth prolonging” moisturizer, used both morning and night, has key ingredients like Resveratrate (Estée Lauder’s patent pending Youth Molecule that has shown to provide 6 times more protection from environmental damage causing skin to look and behave younger), South Sea Pearls and calming Red & Brown Algae.

Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Youth Creme

As with most luxury skin creams, Re-Nutriv comes with a hefty price tag of $250—but considering it’s the Ultimate Youth Creme, that’s a steal.
