Beauty Obsession: Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment

Check out the hottest beauty products that our editors can't live without!

I'm always a little wary of exfoliating treatments — most leave my sensitive skin looking red and raw instead of bright and radiant. But ExfoliKate ($85 for 2 fl oz., katesomerville.com) is a different story. Designed by Hollywood esthetician to the stars Kate Somerville, this product contains scrubbing microbeads to deep-clean your pores, paired with fruit enzymes (papaya, pineapple, and pumpkin) and lactic acid to break down dead skin cells, and rosewood and cinnamon extracts to stimulate circulation. Plus, honey, vitamin E, and aloe vera smooth and sooth your skin, helping prevent the tight, over-dry feeling some other exfoliators leave behind. To use: Apply an even layer over your face using circular motions (don't scrub!). Then, let it sit for up to two minutes (one minute if you have sensitive skin) before rinsing away with warm water. Use 1-2 times per week.
