SKIN SMARTS

You may already include probiotics in your diet. Now add them to your skin-care routine with Merle Norman’s Skintelligent line. Start with the Skintelligent Cleanser ($24), an exfoliating gel cleanser that uses natural seeds to gently buff away dead skin cells, so the skin can better receive beneficial ingredients such as vitamins A, C and E. The lightweight Skintelligent Moisturizer ($44) and the Skintelligent Toner ($18) both use probiotics to hydrate and protect skin from environmental stressors. Those are combined with ingredients like resveratrol, which fights the effects of aging, and extracts of alpine willow herb and ginseng, which help tighten skin and reduce the appearance of pores.
