Over the course of her decades-long career, Christy Turlington Barnes, Lily Aldridge, Jennifer Aniston, and multiple Kardashian celebrity esthetician and skin guru Joanna Czech have made their pre-awards show stop Her signature facial approach, which combines technologies such as LED, cryotherapy, ultrasound, and microcurrent with her traditional massage techniques, addresses everything from puffiness to sagging and hyperpigmentation, giving you a baby-like, glow-from-within glow. In short, red carpet-worthy skin. Here, a seasoned skin expert shows you how to keep yourself as relaxed and radiant as your clients.
I get up at 8 a.m., brush my teeth first, and work out with my trainer on Zoom. I do mostly circuit training, with a little dance thrown in.
For the body, I use a dry massage brush all over my body before I shower. Then, in the shower, I rinse and cleanse my face with water only. Then use Environ Vita Peptide Toner. If I have time, I also do a mask. Three of my favorites are 111Skin Sub-Zero De-Puffing Energizing Masks, Eye Masks, and 111Skin Y Theorum Bio-Cellulose Masks. Then apply Dior Capture Total Super Potent Serum (opens in new tab) and MBR Smooth Eye Cream (opens in new tab) mixed with a few drops of Protective Nourishments Eye Glow Serum (opens in new tab). Moisturize with Dior Capture Total Cream, then apply Biologique Recherche Fluid VIP O2 (opens in new tab) or Le Grand Serum (opens in new tab) as a finishing serum, and apply Chuda Lip Balm.
I usually dry my hair with a hair dryer and put it up, as I have absolutely no styling abilities.
No makeup, healthy skin, lip balm, and my signature Thierry Lasry Rhude glasses.
Nespresso (open in new tab), berries, homemade banana and egg pancakes.
Just a touch of makeup to keep from looking dead. Use Clé de Peau's Radiant Multi-Repair Oil mixed with a few drops of Clé de Peau's Radiant Fluid Foundation. Contour with Iconic London Contour, apply Dior Show Mascara, and apply Tom Ford Nude Vanilla Lipstick and Dior Lip Gloss (opens in new tab) over it.
Fisher No. 23 is my new favorite. I love the unisex scent, which is not a floral scent. I often add patchouli oil to any fragrance.
Celluma LED Face and Body Panel (opens in new tab). Red light LEDs are very important for keeping skin healthy and youthful.
Organic Body Wash Pads. Helps cleanse and exfoliate the body.
Look and style: Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn
One piece of advice that has stuck with me is Anna Wintour's advice, "Don't be afraid to be yourself. Also stuck with me is Phillip Lim's advice to "pay attention to 20 percent of the people in your life."
It takes me about 30 minutes to get ready for bed. Every night I take a shower and use Necessaire Body Wash or Biologique Recherche Gommage P50 Corps (opens in new tab) along with a wash pad. Also, use the Biologique Recherche silicone glove (opens in new tab) to massage the indented skin underwater. To wash my hair, I use either the Biologique Recherche Shampoo Triant VIP 02 (opens in new tab) or the Halcrynichen Balancing Shampoo (opens in new tab). For cleanser, I alternate between my regular Biologique Recherche Lait E.V. (opens in new tab) and either Wonder Valley Oil Cleanser (opens in new tab) or Medar Gel Net Apex Cleanser (opens in new tab), which I recently discovered. After showering, I pat dry and apply Environ Dermalac Body Lotion (opens in new tab) and A,C,E Body Oil Forte (opens in new tab). Tone the face with Biologique Recherche's Lotion P50 PIGM 400 (opens in new tab) or Royal Fern Phytoactive Essence (opens in new tab) and massage with My Facial Massager (opens in new tab) for 7 to 10 minutes. Apply Biologique Recherche Serum VG Tensil (opens in new tab) mixed with Serum Placenta (opens in new tab), then Environ's Vitapeptide C Sequence 1 (opens in new tab) and Vitamin A. Then use 111Skin Celestial Black Diamond Eye Cream (opens in new tab) or Omorovicza Illumini-C Cream (opens in new tab) around the eyes. Then, for the entire face, alternate between Dior Capture Totale Cream (opens in new tab), Augustinus Bader Rich Cream, and Biologique Recherche Crème Masque Vernix (opens in new tab), A few drops of Oio 7 Wonders Oil (opens in new tab) as a moisturizer. For lip treatment, I use 111Skin Meso Infusion Lip Duo (opens in new tab). Finally, 2-3 times a week, I use Celluma LED Face and Body Panel (opens in new tab) and NuFace Trinity for LED therapy or micro needling.
Before bed, I like to read, watch my favorite shows, or do puzzles. I usually pray at 9 PM and go to bed at 11 PM or midnight.
