Although I've been hearing about the Kinerase line for a few years, I've only recently tried one of its products. Available only in dermatologists' offices, Pro+Therapy Advanced Radiance Facial Peel ($85) is an at-home treatment meant to exfoliate dead skin and reveal more radiant skin. (I know that sounds like marketing speak, but after using the peel, I can't think of a better word than "radiant" to describe the results.)

The kit includes 15 lollipop-shaped applicators with sponges, each one pre-moistened with a blend of pharmaceutical-grade lactic acid, citric acid, and soothing ingredients such as algae extracts. You're supposed to use one a day for five days in a row, which was my original intention. It didn't work out that way, though. To find out why, read more

Welcome back to my five-part series, SPF For Your Skin Type. Today we'll dip into sunscreens specific to normal skin. As you know, having normal skin means that your complexion is clear, the texture is a little bit dewy and the under-tones are pinkish and glowy. You, my dears, are the luckiest of the bunch since most sunscreens are suitable for your skin. As for the rest of you with oily, dry or sensitive skin, check out parts I, II and III for sunscreen suggestions for you.

Kinerase Cream with SPF 30 ($135) is made from a mixture of titanium dioxide and encapsulated ethylhexyl methoxycinnimate, both of which keep skin protected from UV rays without that thick white chalky coloring that other high-protection sunscreens have.

We know that Courteney Cox is a huge fan of this line, and have you seen her fabulous skin lately? She's definitely doing something right. For best results, use in the morning only.

Thanks to our very generous friends at Sephora, we're giving away a different product every day throughout the month of June. Congratulations to TammyFir, who won yesterday's giveaway for Dior Diorshow Black Out Mascara.

This week, we're featuring products exclusively available at Sephora, such as Kinerase Ultimate Day Moisturizer ($125). This brilliant potion smooths dry skin, reduces blotchiness, improves tone and minimizes wrinkles because of its high levels of Kinetin. (Kinerase wasn't kidding when it named it the "ultimate" moisturizer!)
