Kate Talks Acne – Episode 2: Adult Acne + Anti-Aging
hi guys it’s Kate Somerville here and I’m here in my clinic on Melrose Place inside of one of my treatment rooms and I wanted to share with you a lot of my clients come in and they’re asking me about acne what they can use what regimen what ingredients what products should I use to treat my acne so those of you that are getting hormonal breakout and you’re you’re aging so it’s we call it anti-aging with hormonal breakout know that you’re not alone and know that there is a fix the real key with this skin type is not using acne products all over the skin only spot treating the acne on the skin but treating your skin as if it’s still aging because you want to keep that hydration and you want to keep some of the oils in to fight that aging process so let me give you the regimen that I recommend here in the clinic and it’s really simple even though it looks like a lot of products there is a reason for each product and I’ll tell you so number one is our exfoliate cleanser this is one of my favorite cleansers in the line because it has all the properties of exfoliate which is our number one product it exfoliates gently every day it has a very soft bead so it’s still exfoliating but it has a little bit of cell acid it has a little bit of glycolic it has 3 p’s pineapple pumpkin and papaya enzymes that dissolve dead layers of skin and gets all your makeup off but it’s also going to deep cleanse your pores ok but it’s not gonna over dry the skin that’s my biggest thing with acting skin that’s aging is you don’t want to pull all the oils out of the skin because then you’re gonna actually exacerbate more oils to come and you also need those oils to keep the wrinkles at bay so your cleanse first and then you’re gonna hydrate and you’re gonna hydrate on a deep level and this actually has oxygen and it’s called dermal quench and I recommend the silver bottle we have three of them in the line and you need to shake this product each time you use it and it’s a light light foam so you can see here it’s very light and there’s no oils in this and what it does is it has oxygen so it’s gonna kill bacteria so it’s gonna really help with future breakout but it’s gonna hydrate the skin deeply so you’re gonna put this all over the skin I like to run it down my neck and chest so we can really hydrate so this is like this acts as my serum okay that’s deeply hydrating and that’s gonna help with any kind of wrinkles it’s also going to help with the breakout because it has oxygen in it and it has a lot of hyaluronic acid the next step is your moisturizer my favorite moisturizer in the line is called deep tissue or peptide ke8 and the reason why I love this moisturizer because it won’t make you break out but it’s fighting that aging process so if you’re breaking out on the chin area I recommend putting this everywhere else except where you’re breaking out so a lot of hormonal acne comes in the the jaw line sometimes in the t-zone so just leave it off of that but this is gonna fight that aging process it will not make you break out that’s what I love about it and it has eight different peptides really helping to fight that fine line and wrinkle and also helping to preserve that collagen production so after you hydrate you’re gonna want to do your moisturization to seal in that hydration so those of you are like well wait a second hydration and moisturizer isn’t that the same thing it’s not the hydration step is your hyaluronic acid that’s plumping that skin full of hydration and now we’re gonna seal it in with our moisturizer this is my favorite moisturizer in so this will be your day moisturizer and then your night moisturizer is gonna be your retinol and vitamin C now why is that okay so retinol actually is clinically proven to help slow down the sebum production it’s turning over skin cell a little faster so it’s getting rid of the damage so those of you that have breakout know that you get little brown spots and scars the retinol is going to address that it’s going to fight all signs of aging this product is remarkable it’s brand-new in the line and I like to do if if I’m breaking out I like to do this step the dermal quench you know the silver one here that you’re doing in the day I like to put this on at night this is my hydrator so I add a little more retinol and then this will be my night moisturizer and then for eye I do line release this is my favorite eye cream in the line I call it kind of my topical Botox because it has all types of properties in it it helps hydrate it helps fight fine lines and wrinkles it’s called line release and it also really really helps with that that light coming in it has kind of light diffusing pigment so it’s it’s one of my favorite eye creams in the line and then in the day of course I’m gonna finish off with our uncomplicated and what I love about uncomplicated it’s just that it’s uncomplicated because it’s your sunscreen you can reapply it it actually is a setting spray for your makeup and you can put it over makeup too and it’s a matte finish and this will not break you out a lot of sunscreens break my clients out now treatment wise your weekly treatment is going to be exfoliate and exfoliate is my number one product in in the line it’s really what made the clinic famous I start every single treatment with this with this product because it’s a scrub peel mask in one so what is going to do is it’s going to take that top layer of dead skin off and we want to do that because what happens is if you have dead layers of skin on your on your skin it’s gonna trap the oils and also it’s gonna turnover skin cell and get rid of the damage because you know if you have breakout you usually have kind of a spot or redness or or dark spot that’s gonna help to turn over that skin cell it’s also gonna help with future breakouts especially if you have blackheads around the nose or if you get those underground errs so how you use this you put it in your shower and you’re gonna scrub around it has a small little bead that’s gonna lift the dead layers of skin and then you leave it on it’s green and it’s like a mask and what it’s doing is it has what I call the 3 p’s pumpkin pineapple and papaya enzymes that’s gonna dissolve the dead layers of skin has a little bit of salicylic acid a little bit of glycolic acid and that’s really gonna help exfoliate the skin and get rid of that top layer of dead skin so all these other products can penetrate and do what they’re meant to do and then I recommend eradicate spot treatment and I really recommend everyone to have this product because who doesn’t get a pimple here and there but if you’re really fighting that hormonal breakout you know they come underground they get big they get angry this you just dip in at night you put a little dot on and the clay there’s a clay that pulls the impurity out it actually has sulfur in this product and sulfur what that helps to do is dry and then it has camphor to kind of calm the redness so you’ll see your pimple really really start to disappear don’t overuse this product I’d only say like maybe three times on that pimple because you’ll get too much dryness so let me recap because this is a quite a bit more products because you have different issues going on so you’ve got your cleanser more exfoliate cleanser you have your two hydrators your dermal quench liquid lift and the silver is gonna be your day your night is going to be dermal quench with retinol at night because we want that retinol to actually help to dry out that sebum production and turnover skin cell to help with any kind of scarring then your moisturizers this is gonna be your day which is the silver peptide ke8 and then your night is going to be your retinol vitamin C because that’s going to help brighten and even out skin tone and texture and help with the breakout and then your eye cream your sunscreen in the day and then your two treatments that you use weekly so um I know it sounds like a lot but it takes just a few minutes and your skin’s worth it so those of you have watched these videos and you found your skin type and you looked at the regimen and you’re like whoa that’s a lot of product where do I start you’re new to the brand you know when you come into my clinic I give you my wish list so for that skin type this is my wish list however if you want to know where to start and you want those game changers that are really gonna change the skin quickly this is where I go to my 1 2 3 4 glowing skin and so in your regimen look for our exfoliate so that’s really going to transform the skin it’s going to get that top layer of dead skin off and then go to our hydration step this is that hyaluronic acid this is patented this is going to push in that hydration deep into the skin give you the result you want and then you’re gonna seal it in with our moisturizer and the moisturizer really needs to be for your skin type so if you’re oily look for oil free if you’re dry like me look for our peptide ke8 or if you really want to see results and change in your skin you have some sun damage definitely go with our retinol and vitamin C moisturizer
