glow up

My friend Kate splits her time between Hawaii, Sun Valley, and LA—a dream geography that certainly doesn’t hurt when it comes to maintaining that jet-set, sun-kissed glow. But lately, something’s different. Very different. Her skin has taken on a new kind of noticeable radiance—dewy, luminous, and impossible to ignore. While it would be easy to credit her lifestyle trifecta, those who know her know better. As a former beauty editor with a intrepid approach to product testing, Kate has long been the go-to for what actually works. And now? She’s clearly onto something. Is it a new serum? A skin tech breakthrough? A not-yet-launched facial protocol? After two days of living under the same roof (and okay a sneak peek into her dopp kit!), I finally cracked her code: a mix of Plated Science Intense Serum and Epicutis Lipid Serum, topped off with (and this may be the key to it all!) face-finishing Westman Atelier Complexion Drops and Sun Tone Bronzing Drops (no wonder this product keeps selling out!). Look out for my glow up, friends!
