Keeping Calm with Kat Burki

When deputy editor, Sofia’s skin went haywire after reacting to a product, she turned to Kat Burki to help restore her skin back to its former, healthier self. 

In my attempt to get ready for restrictions lifting and the hope of a summer,  I ended up using a mask that was way to harsh for my sensitive skin. While I am usually quite reserved and cautious in trying trialing new skincare products despite over 8 years working in the beauty industry, I was a touch over zealous with the Salic acid. Cue mild panic when red raw spots appeared, reacting to ingredients that I usually shy away from. Lesson learnt. 

But with only sunnier days ahead and the hope of wearing less make up in the heat, how could I turn back the time and soothe my skin and reverse the damage of caused by this reaction? One person: Kat Burki. 

Kat Burki’s passion for health and wellness led her to a Health Law degree and a Masters in Health Policy, ultimately joining scientists and epidemiologists researching regional diseases around the globe and their link to nutrition.  Understanding the connection between skincare and healthcare, Kat was inspired to create her eponymous beauty brand. 

Jumping on 2021's biggest beauty trend of 'skinimalisim', Kat Burki encourages "using less" with her multi-tasking skincare saviours. 

Star product? The Kat Burki Ph+ Enzyme Essence is one of my ultimate all time

Favourite product. EVERE. It does exactly what it promises: balancing ph and skin barrier to optimise the skin and thus helping overall appearance and hyperpigmentation. The carrot smell just feels healthy too; like literal food for the skin to help restore and renew its protective barrier. Which makes sense. Burki is an advocate of skincare powered by advanced nutritional science. 

Kat Burki says: “Whenever the seasons change we want to transition our skincare routine accordingly. From Winter to Spring, it is important to help your skin along in its renewal process through resurfacing, rebuilding and retexturing.  Using the Restorative Dual Acid Peel and Goji Essence (tip - the Micro-Firming Wand will help to get to the deepest layers of the skin) you can assist the skin in removing cellular build up and encourage new cell growth.”

 I love it, and it’s versatility, working well with other products in my skincare wardrobe, but naturally singing brighter when used alongside the rest of the Kat Burki range. 

Another cult favourite is the Vitamin C Intensive Face Cream, specifically developed to meet the needs of lackluster complexion and to protect the skin from environmental toxins. At the heart of the formula is 15% STAY C, a stable form of Vitamin C, powered by the anti-aging powerhouse Reishi Mushroom for greater absorption. This exceptional formula has established a super star following for its instant impact and quick results. The Vitamin C Intensive Face Cream is the perfect everyday face cream in any anti-aging skincare regime. 

Rest assured, this is one brand that will become my new mainstay in my skincare routine.
