Details:

A moisturizing and calming treatment that leaves skin soft and smooth. You will notice instant hydration and suppleness.  The Advanced Moisture Complex, with hyaluronic acid, pulls moisture deep into skin cells, helping to soften and plump.

Use:

  • 1-2 times per week
  • apply thin layer to clean, dry skin
  • leave on for 5-10 minutes
  • remove with warm water
  • follow with moisturizer

Bottom Line:

This is the second product recommended to me by the esthetician at the Trump Soho Spa.  I use it 2x per week after using the Glycolic Polisher.  Because I own and faithfully use NuFace, the esthetician told me to use Quench in place of the gel normally used with NuFace and it would enhance both treatments.  The NuFace absolutely glided beautifully during the treatment and the current produced by the NuFace allowed the mask to penetrate the skin quickly and deeply as well as “lift” my face.  It was wonderful!

If you all have a chance, please Google NuFace, and know that it delivers.

Back to Quench…another Kate Somerville product that I really like more and more as I continue to use it.  My skin feels refreshed, hydrated and amazingly soft.  It also looks beautiful.

Expensive, yes, but it works and a little goes a very long way.

Peace

Kate Somerville Micro Glycolic Polisher

Details:

A treatment peel that resurfaces and restores skin.  It uses lactic and glycolic acids to promote skin cell turnover without abrasion.

To Use

– 2-4 pumps (I use 2) on a cotton pad and apply to clean, dry skin

– leave on for 2-5 minute

– remove with warm water,  follow with moisturizer ( if using in AM, also apply sunscreen as the product may increase skin sensitivity to the sun and  possibility of sunburn)

The Bottom Line:

This product was one of two recommended to me by an esthetician at the Trump Soho Spa.  I told her that I did not use this type of product as no matter which line I had tried, I always had sensitivity and sometimes real discomfort.

Kate Somerville is the line used at the spa and the esthetician said she had recommended the Glycolic Polisher to many of her clients with the same issue I was describing and that all of them had good results.  I love using new product so I gave it a try and I love it.  I have had no sensitivity and my skin is amazingly smooth.  I have some very small, hardly noticeable (except by me) bumps on my forehead, well actually, I had because they are gone after three weeks.  I am hoping that after continued use that the slight sun damage on my face will lighten.  I also love the fact that my foundation goes on beautifully and just looks like dewy skin.

Expensive product, but worth it because it actually works.

I will be writing soon about the second product that was recommended and I purchased to use along with the Glycolic Polisher.

Peace
