Los Angeles facialist who looks after Freida Pinto’s skin
“I use Olìe x Melissa Meyers RoseGlowDrops Daily RadianceFace Oil ($78) regularly for Reiki facials. It leaves skin dewy and moisturized, and it smells lovely.The fact that a portion of the proceeds goes toward charity is a bonus.”
Dendy Engelman, MD
New York dermatologist who has worked with Sofía Vergara
“La Mer The Renewal Oil ($245) contains lime tea concentrate and jojoba seed oils to protect against environmental aggressors and soften fine lines. It reinforces and strengthens the skin barrier as a result, helping acne-prone, aging, dry, or inflamed skin.”
Terri Lawton
Zoë Kravitz’s L.A.-based facialist
“I have many clients from New York, London, and places with cold climates and low humidity. For them, I recommend Biologique Recherche Sérum T.E.W.L. ($178). It’s an oil that prevents dehydration by keeping moisture in the skin from evaporating.”
Joomee Song-Irvin
Los Angeles facialist who often travels with Lady Gaga
“I adore the scent of Girl Undiscovered Stars Aligning Face Elixir Oil ($48). It imparts the radiance and hydration that we expect from an oil, but it’s also great at bedtime to lull you into a state of zen. And it doesn’t interfere with other products when you layer it.”
Shereene Idriss, MD
New York dermatologist who perfects Mindy Kaling’s complexion
“Marula oil is clinically proven to help reverse signs of aging. Drunk Elephant Virgin Marula Luxury Facial Oil ($72) is a favorite; it’s also rich in oleic and palmitic acids, which disrupt the superficial skin layers to improve the delivery of other topicals.”
Gucci Westman
Makeup artist whose clients include our January 2019 cover star, Jennifer Aniston, and Anne Hathaway
“I love Georgia Louise Vital Finishing Serum ($150). For me, as a makeup artist, skin is at the beginning and end of everything I do.To help foundation glide on smoothly, I’ll even leave a bit of the oil on my fingertips while I apply it.”
