Other than for eyes, I’m typically of the mind that primers are an exercise in futility vis-a-vis my endless skin care regimen, but Kinara‘s changing my mind. Why? The LA-based skin care brand is launching in January an ultra-lightweight primer called Weightless Infusion with antioxidants, which help prevent environmental damage, build collagen, help skin heal, and produce healthier skin cells. So if your monogamous skin care scenario is lacking in the antiox realm and you’re worried that will lead to a future of Botox, worry not. Free radicals were great at 1960s freedom protests; in the environment as it relates to your skin, not so much. 

This serum/gel combines peptides, antioxidants and lightening agents to leave your skin rejuvenated and refreshed immediately. It can also be mixed with your regularly scheduled serum to help treat chronic dryness and lackluster skin in the winter. 

Kinara Weightless Infusion ($80) will be available January 2013 at Kinara Skin Clinic and Spa, independent spas and retailers nationwide, and on kinaraspa.com.
