The Best Aesthetician-Formulated Lines Available Right Now
Using the Ziip device to lift my eyebrows.
Aestheticians are essentially your skin’s bestie. These expert-trained skincare pros have access to a plethora of professional-grade lotions, potions, serums, and peels, and they know the right way to safely extract pimples and imperfections from the skin. If booking an appointment with your favorite celeb aesthetician isn’t in the cards, you can get the next best thing: a product from their often eponymous skincare line. These 6 are from some of the best in the biz.
Celebrity aesthetician Angela Caglia’s Detox Serum ($80) unclogs pores and draws out pimple-causing toxins and bacteria leaving skin oh-so clean and glowy.
From renowned electrical esthetician to the stars, Melanie Simon comes the Zipp GX Kit ($495). It is my favorite at-home device to use on my skin to help lift and contour. Although it is pricey, it’s like performing magic—you can prep, sculpt, brighten, and heal, plus more—right before your very eyes.
From across the pond comes Amanda Lacey’s Oils of Provence ($165), a cure-all of sorts for sensitive and blemish-prone skin. A firm believer in the use of essential oils to improve the complexion, this nighttime-use oil contains lavender sage and eucalyptus oils, and melts into red and dry skin, and leaves it soft, hydrated, and healthy.
Chances are, you’ve probably seen Georgia Louise’s Cryo Freeze Tools ($130) before—if not, consider this your intro to them. Once you’ve given them a whirl, you won’t be able to live without them. Made of stainless steel, these massaging wands can be used all over the face to soothe, depuff and refresh the skin. I love them on those days when my skin is in desperate need of a quick pick-me-up.
Celebs on both the East and West coasts know that Joanna Vargas is the go-to for ethereal glowy skin thanks to her supercharged, noninvasive skin treatments. All of her products are fabulous, but her antioxidant-rich vitamin C-based Rescue Serum ($150) is one of my favorites in the line simply because it helps to brighten skin while boosting collagen.
Shani Darden is one of the most in-demand skin experts amongst Hollywood’s celebrity set. So it comes as no surprise that her vegan Retinol Reform ($88), which boasts a blend of retinol (my favorite ingredient) and lactic acid, works wonders on improving the skin, namely when it comes to fine lines, wrinkles, spots, and breakouts.
