Get that glow! Vanessa Lee is known for helping celebs like Kourtney and Kim Kardashian, Jessica Alba, Gabrielle Union, Kate Hudson, and more achieve clear, sculpted skin, and now The Things We Do founder is sharing her top tips with ET.
For starters, the medical aesthetic provider believes finding a personalized regimen that works for you is key.
“When you know your skin well, you end up saving yourself a lot of time and money. It is so easy to see someone with great skin and want to follow their routine, only to get sucked up in a cycle that doesn’t serve you,” she explains.Â
Some questions to consider: “Do you take after mom or dad more with your skin? Are you oily mainly in the t-zone or all over? Do you break out in small, superficial breakouts or larger cystic ones or both? How long does it take you to recover from a red or brown spot?”
From there, the skincare guru can focus on your specific concerns and goals.
“The most common skincare issues we see are hyperpigmentation and over-texturized skin. … Patients want to be smooth and bright, and I, myself, want those same things too. … I combined my background in dermatology with my love for facial balancing and nourishing ingredients to formulate the Barrier Boost Set to achieve that,” she says.
Lee”s other must-haves? “I love our Coconut and Collagen Eye Gels and Niacinamide Capsules because of how extremely moisturizing and resetting they are for the under eyes and our Dew & Glow Microneedling Infusion Kit helps with skin plumping and hair thinning.”
If you’re lucky enough to snag an appointment at her beauty concept studios in Los Angeles, California or Oahu, Hawaii, be prepared to leave feeling more confident after receiving a blend of customized treatments.Â
“Our faces are so much more than tissue and bone and we should be treating them with more thought. … When I look at skin, I can see mapping of who you are and can picture how you will age. … I look at the whole face to recognize shape and symmetry in order to balance, restore and enhance features,” the Certified Eastern face reader says.
To keep up with your flawless results, Lee suggests carving out some extra self-care time with a couple of tools.Â
“If you feel you are too cheeky or generally deal with a swell to the face, use our AcuRoller tool to depuff and brighten your eyes through specific acupressure points. I also recommend using our Face Faja that is a facial wrap you can use throughout the day if you’re at home or while you sleep to wake up with a more defined jawline,” she dishes.Â
