Nadine Dilong It’s the biggest day of the year for Hollywood as the who-is-who of the film industry walk the red carpet of the Academy Awards, or Oscars. Long trains, sparkling jewels, brilliant smiles, and coiffed hair are just as much part of the Oscars look as flawless, glowing skin.
So in preparation for the big day where hundreds of photographers will capture every face and zoom in on even the finest of lines, it’s no surprise celebs are flocking to their trusted facialists to get their skin red carpet ready.
It’s safe to say most celebs wouldn’t have to pay for their beauty treatments, but instead post happy snaps online giving their spa of choice big exposure. These are the Hollywood stars’ fave pre-Oscars treatments of 2018:
The Georgia Louise Bespoke Facial
Celeb clients: Emma Stone, Katy Perry, Molly Sims
Georgia Louise is a favourite among stars with her two hugely successful salons in London and New York. During Oscar season, Louise sets up shop in Beverly Hills to treat actors to one of her bespoke facials using a 3-step cleanse, a form of mechanical and manual exfoliation, extractions if required, and vitamin infusion using sound waves and galvanic currents.
Actress Molly Sims enjoyed a collagen and hyaluronic acid mask last week in preparation for her red carpet appearance at the Oscars.
The Runway Facial
Celeb clients: Kim Kardashian, Shanina Shaik
The Runway Facial is a bespoke combination of laser, microdermabrasion, and serums to minimise pores, reduce fine lines, and get the skin glowing for special events. As there is no downtime, it’s perfect for time-poor celebs.
Joanna Vargas Supernova Facial
Celeb clients: Elisabeth Moss, Greta Gerwig, Naomi Watts
Vargas’ newest facial is the Supernova, which incorporates an aquapeel – a softer version of Microdermabrasion that exfoliates the surface of the skin while infusing it with vitamin serums. As it’s suitable for even the most sensitive of skins, it’s many celebs’ go-to Oscar prep treatment.
MesoPen by Dr Barbara Sturm
Celeb clients: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Emma Roberts, Elsa Hosk
Microneedling has been trending for a while now, and with its rejuvenating qualities and little to no downtime, it’s no surprise celebs love the treatment, which uses tiny needles to create microchannels in the skin. Hyaluronic acid is applied first followed by the Dermapen, which helps get the serum deep into the skin to plump and freshen the appearance of the skin.
