The skincare industry has a vested interest in convincing you that more is always better. More steps, more actives, more products addressing more concerns simultaneously. It is not always wrong, but it is not always right either, and there are evenings when the most useful thing you can do for your skin is keep it simple. Cleanse properly, moisturise well, go to bed.
This particular two-step combination from @katesomervilleskincare is one I return to regularly, and both products have been in my life long enough that I can recommend them without any reservation.
💜 Kate Somerville Goat Milk Moisturising Cleanser
The Goat Milk Moisturising Cleanser is, without qualification, my favourite cleanser. I am aware that is a significant claim and I stand by it. The formula is creamy and genuinely gentle, enriched with goat milk proteins to soothe dry and sensitive skin, Manuka honey for nourishment, and jojoba and avocado oils to moisturise as it cleans. It removes makeup, dirt and impurities thoroughly without leaving skin feeling tight or stripped, which is the fundamental requirement of any cleanser. My skin feels clean and comfortable afterwards, which sounds like a low bar until you have spent years using cleansers that leave it feeling otherwise.
🩷 Kate Somerville DeliKate Recovery Cream
The DeliKate Recovery Cream is the kind of moisturiser that sensitive and stressed skin responds to immediately. It is rich, deeply nourishing, and specifically formulated to repair the skin barrier while calming redness and irritation. I have recommended it to people dealing with sensitivity, post-procedure skin and general skin barrier damage, and it has consistently delivered. Used after the goat milk cleanser, it completes a routine that asks very little of you and gives a considerable amount back.
Some nights, two products is exactly enough.
