Snakeskin is sexy. On a handbag or pair of shoes, that is. But when skin’s texture starts to coordinate with accessories, the look becomes downright icky.
The easiest fix for a smoother, brighter complexion is to exfoliate – a fancy word for scrubbing skin.
I first learned about Kate Somerville’s best-selling face scrub back in the glory days of magazines when beauty editors like myself chewed up car services like a pack of gum. At the time, I was working at Shop Etc. magazine, writing a story about celebs’ favorite beauty products. Molly Sims told me hers was Exfolikate, created by esthetician to the stars Kate Somerville (Paula Abdul, Jessica Alba and Paris Hilton are among her many A-list clients). I’m not usually a sucker when it comes to star endorsements, but Molly’s complexion sold me, and I gave it a try.
Expense accounts have since dwindled and Shop Etc. no longer exists (R.I.P.). However, my relationship with Kate Somerville’s ExfoliKate has been a fairytale. The formula is as green as the Wicked Witch but don’t be scared. Its powers are all positive. Fruit enzymes like papaya and pineapple eat up dead cells and its got tiny granules that further help to gently polish and soften skin. I recommend using a couple of nights a week after cleansing. Just lightly rub on a thin layer, using circular motions, and rinse off after about twenty or thirty seconds. You’ll be left with the best accessory yet — a radiant complexion.
