Last year, Harper launched a new collection calledSuperkindformulated to deliver real results for sensitive, reactive skin types.
To follow, everything Harper has been doing, as of late.
The tried-and-true: Elixir Vitae.
I’ve been using it every single day, twice a day, for years.
Like, maybe a decade.
It’s definitely my desert island product.
“It’s our most powerful serum.
It has a total of 72 actives, so it creates a filling effect in the skin.

The surprise hit: Intermittent fasting.
“I closely follow the studies around longevity.
But I’ve been surprised by how much I actually like it.
“I typically do 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
It’s not a diet strategy.
The underrated brand: Avasol sunscreen.
“A line that people don’t know about is this sunscreen brand called Avasol.
“It’s a family affair.
My kids are obsessed with it, and it’s the only sunscreen we use.
“They’re sticks and they’re made of paper, so it’s super sustainable.
It has really nice shades, it blends so well, and it’s all mineral.
It’s good for the reefs and just amazing.”

The splurge: An infrared sauna.
“I love myinfrared sauna.
It’s definitely a bit of a splurge.
I use it multiple times a week, even if I just go in for 20 minutes.
Plus, it feels great.”
The secret: Gently exfoliate every day.
“I’ve beenexfoliatingdaily for decades.
Even before I had my line, I used to exfoliate every day with very fine sugar and honey.
If you’re someone who is super minimal and just likes to do one thing, then exfoliate.
“I created the Regenerating Cleanser to be that perfect daily exfoliant.
But it gets rid of the accumulation of dead skin that happens every single day.
Then, all of the products you apply after will penetrate better into the skin.”

What the women in my family taught me.
“It’s really like a self-soothing ritual in a way.
I do it with my kids, too.
I give a shot to help them all embrace self-soothing as a way to reconnect with yourself.
“Clinical skin care that hurts is not part of my philosophy at all.
If anything, it needs to be super soothing and super comforting.
It can make you feel good and look good, so it’s a win-win.”
