If you’re like us, then you’re always quite curious about everyone else’s self-care skin routine. So when author and podcaster Kate Spencer (you know her from Forever 35!) was a guest on Spawned a few weeks ago, we had to ask. Especially since she (along with co-host Doree) describe their podcast as two friends who love to talk about serums.

Of course, we chat about way more than skincare on this episode, by the way, including Kate’s new novel, In a New York Minute, but one of my favorite parts of this episode was where Kate and I shared our favorite skin products, which you can hear when you listen to the episode. I’m going to share them all here so you can check them out for yourself, plus I’m adding Liz’s faves to the mix too, because she has great taste (and skin!).

In a New York Minute, by Kate Spencer

And don’t forget to grab a copy of Kate’s new book, In a New York Minute, wherever you get your books. It’s incredibly fun, whether you’re a New Yorker (like Liz) or you’re just a frequent visitor (like me). And if you are in NYC, you can catch Kate along with author Georgia Clark at the Wyndham Garden Chinatown, 4/26 at 7pm!
