The Kits are All Right

Ever try to buy just one skincare product at a beauty counter? It’s nearly impossible. Treatment products work in conjunction with each other and it’s very hard to choose a new moisturizer over a new exfoliator. Thankfully, the beautymakers have come up with a solution – kits – many of which offer a combination of full sized with travel sized products, allowing you to test out a full skincare regimen. “Some kits include a product to cleanse and prepare the skin before the application of a toner or collagen enhancer,” explains Kei Horton, a Fort Lauderdale-based esthetician. “The better ones include a resurfacing agent and serum, plus a day or night gel or cream.” Generally, kits offer a good-for-your-pocketbook price proposition, encouraging you to actually get the entire regimen. Our compilation of skincare kits below will give you an idea of what’s available at your favorite department store or online retailer.
