Editorial Reviews

Review

“Whenever my skin looks youthful and glowey, I thank God, my mom, and Kate Somerville. I don’t know what I would do without her and them.”
— Julia Louis-Dreyfus

“Kate has completely transformed my skin. For the first time in my life, at age 40, I’m getting compliments on how beautiful my skin is. I think that says it all.”
— Debra Messing

“Kate Somerville has literally changed the face of skin care, from the inside out. Thanks to Kate, my skin always looks great!”
— Kate Walsh

“Kate has made me feel so good about my skin. She’s changed it to the best it’s ever been, and her skin care is by far the best I’ve ever used! I adore her and think she is a genius.”
— Lisa Rinna

“I ran into an actress at Starbucks. She looked at least 20 years younger than the last time I saw her. She looked amazing. When I asked her why she looked so good, she answered, ‘I switched from drinking coffee to drinking tea.’ She smiled. I didn’t believe her. A few weeks later I ran into her at Kate Somerville . . . I knew it was more than the tea.”
— Jennifer Coolidge

I haven't completed the book yet, but so far I have found it to be very informative. I recently enrolled in esthetics school and it was recommended to my by my esthetician as a great intro. Even if you don't have interest in becoming an esthetician, this book offers great advice to care for your skin and over all health.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good information.
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2010
Verified Purchase
This book is good due to the thoroughness of information and the alternatIves she gives you for face care instead of buying her products. Like yogurt on the face for 5 minutes to exfoliate and witch hazel as a toner. Her products are really expensive and so are perricone's that it is off-putting and always makes me think they aren't looking for repeat customers. The upside is the products last about 3 months if using only once a day. This book helps you identify your skin type and gives you the steps for evening, morning, and weekly skin care.

I respect the hell out of this woman which is why I bought the book. But as someone in school currently for skin, I did not find this book to be very helpful it did not offer me much of what I did not already know a lot of the things/ studies and equipment mentioned is outdated. The before and after's ALL contained medical treatments which are out of kate's scope of practice so her nurse did them (lasers botox etc) so I don't know that part was not helpful as I could not perform them and if you were an rn it would offer you no benefit as it does not show technique... Pass from me but if you want it because she is an icon for sure.

I LOVED this book!!!

Incredible information about skincare, and about self-care in general. She certainly knows her stuff!!!

Somerville also told her own personal life experiences; which further endeared me to her.

What an amazing book, I read it cover to cover and couldn't put it down! It has so many solutions and secrets to having the perfect complexion no matter what your ailments. I have used Kate Somerville products and they are incredible. I can't reccommend this book enough its well worth the money.

1.0 out of 5 stars ... da gibt's Besseres
Reviewed in Germany on September 9, 2012

Kate Somerville soll ja angeblich die Haut von halb Hollywood verschönern, deshalb war ich sehr gespannt auf dieses Buch. Leider ist es eher trocken geschrieben, und die Empfehlungen sind wohl aufgrund mangelnder medizinischer Kompentenz nicht sehr fundiert (bin tätig im Medizinbereich und darf das wohl sagen). Hyaluronsäurekapseln, die wir beispielsweise ihrer Empfehung nach schlucken sollen, werden niemals in unserer Haut ankommen, geschweige denn die Falten minimieren! Leider gibt es viele Empfehlungen dieser Güte in ihrem Buch.
Ja, ja, auch die Damen aus Hollywood scheinen sich manchmal zu irren. Ich habe das Buch jedenfalls nach wenigen Kapitel enttäuscht weggelegt. Gottseidank habe ich wenig später was Besseres entdeckt: ein Buch von Paula Begoun: kompetent und unterhaltsam!  The Original Beauty Bible: Unparalleled Information for Beautiful and Younger Skin at Any Age . Die kriegt meine volle Empfehlung, Frau Somerville nicht!
