Skin Care Secrets from a Celebrity FacialistIt's no surprise that esthetician to the stars Olga Lorencin-Northrup has a flawless complexion, so naturally we wanted to find out her skin care secrets. Here's a look inside her personal stash of skin care products |
What is it about laying down on a facialist's table that makes you feel so vulnerable? Maybe it's because you're inches away from your esthetician's face, with your pores, pimples, and lines hanging under a seriously bright light? Or maybe it's because the facialist always happens to have the clearest, most flawless skin?
Skip ahead to get the celeb facialist's skin care secrets.
Take celebrity esthetician Olga Lorencin-Northrup, founder of Kinara Spa. Her complexion is even and radiant -- no blemishes, sunspots, or redness around her nose. And the most surprising part is that she rarely wears any foundation. (And at 48, that's no small feat.)
Lorencin-Northrup is one of the most celebrated facialists in the country. Since the opening of her spa in 2003, her clientele list has read like the guest list of the Oscars. Halle Berry, Jessica Alba, Eva Mendez, Natalie Portman, and even Will Ferrell stop by for her renowned Red Carpet Facial (which is what so many celebs thank for their glowing skin).
So what's her skin care secret? Does she practice what she preaches in her own skin care routine? And more importantly, what products does she stock up on? Determined to find out, we sat down with the celeb facialist and asked her for her best-kept skin care secrets. What's behind her glowing, practically perfect complexion? Keep reading. We've got the secrets to getting your own skin perfect here.

Love the Vitamin C serum and the rest of the items. Taking strong oral doses of Vitamin C (it is virtually non-toxic and any excess is excreted naturally) makes a huge difference in skin.

Very nice variety of products in this article. Minus the Dr. Denis Gross face peel, which has a hefty dosage of alcohol. Which causes free-radical damage, irritation, dryness, and hurts the skins ability to heal. Otherwise, good list.

I'm 58 years old and the best skin product I have ever used is Dr. Dennis Gross' Extra Strength Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel, which she recommends. This product will produce astounding results with the FIRST use. It is my desert island product!!

Great Article, I love Skincueticals, but a cheaper and just as good QUality is Mad Hippie's Vitamin C..it has ferulic in it as well and a very nice texture. You can get it on amazon or OPENSKY mall with a joining credit and it comes out to $20 each or amazon is $27 as opposed to the $145 1 oz CE skincueticals or amazon travel sizes of 6 which combine to add up to 1 oz and stay fresh long because they are less exposed to air.

Agree with her recommendation on SkinCeutical's C E Ferulic - but she forget to mention SkinCeutical's Phloretin CF, another antioxidant, that works real well for skin that tends to be on the normal to oily side and for those with hyper pigmentation. I'm an esthetician and just love these products. I use them and my skin has been transformed! Save your home instead of going out to a club or that shopping spree, your skin deserves it. You get what you pay for in this case =)
