When it comes to facials, I do things on recommendation. (Unless I’m lucky enough to be in Hawaii at an insanely fabulous hotel — then of course I’ll just go down to the spa, read the menu and choose). But in my hometown of London and Los Angeles, I have to ask my friends, family and colleagues for advice on where to go when my skin needs a little TLC. If I seek more advice, I’ll also read other people’s beauty blogs.
Here’s my guide to a positively fabulous face, just like Megan Fox!
Before I move on to my tried and tested recommendations, here’s a little of my “skin history”. My skin was great until I was about 19 — then my whole face was covered with tiny under -the-skin pimples. Fortunately, most were un-noticed to people looking at me…but I could feel them.
I was prescribed Roaccutane (aka Accutane here in the U.S.). I endured eight months of darkness and very safe sex (if you become pregnant on the drug, your baby will be deformed — it’s that strong) You even have to sign a waiver saying you’re on birth control, and if you were to get pregnant you would legally have to abort. But…when I finished, I had the softest, clearest, most radiant skin.
If your skin (or soul) isn’t quite ready for the lengthy process of Accutane, let’s talk products! I’ve been using the same moisturizer for the last seven years (Avene Trixera) but I do use different cleansers, face wash and masks to my fancy.
Once in a while I’ll get a breakout, but more than anything I get those awful pimples that come from a tiny whitehead I try so hard not to pop — only to find it buried back under the skin and reappear eviler, bigger and redder three months later.
So my trick to avoid that? Extractions! I haven’t found anyone stateside that’s been able to get “in there” with deep extractions, until i met Heather at Beauty Call LA. The treatment I recommend is a “diamond dermabrasion with cellular level oxygenation”.
Yes, I know it sounds like when you go to the doctor and they use big words (Ha) but basically this treatment exfoliates to allow the skin to absorb 10 times more nutrients, as well as stimulating collagen and oxygenating the blood to treat free radical damage, nourish cells and kill bacteria.
This treatment is great for acne or if you have a special event coming up. It leaves you glowing for 10-14 days! She was totally right — I had the kind of glow that people admired for weeks. Heather calls it the “vacation facial” because it leaves you looking rested with a sun-kissed glow. Sports Illustrated cover model and Victoria Secret angel Marisa Miller seems to have this glow permanently.
You can also add a light to moderate topical peel for more lightening, tightening, and brightening — yes please ! You can be sure Heather will choose the appropriate peel for the results that YOU desire. I got special treatment for my skin type — a light peel that didn’t make my whole face peel off in a dramatic way ! Just a gentle flake for a few days and a glow for two weeks!
If you would like to see Heather she offers three locations: Brentwood, West Hollywood and a private Los Angeles location. She takes appointments as late as 10 pm which is a dream come true when you work until 8 pm like i do sometimes.
Best thing about BeautyCallLa is that she does mobile pampering, facials, peels, microderm, spray tan, make up, body wraps, and beauty call pamper parties. You may have heard about botox parties… well now she is starting the pamper party.
