Summary
“Skincare is my makeup.” New York-based esthetician Cynthia Rivas, who tends to famous faces like Karlie Kloss and Lily Aldridge, has taken the stylish set by storm with her pop-up facial ateliers at Paris fashion week – not to mention a signature facial at the glamorous Palm Heights Hotel in Cayman Islands. In today’s jet-setting episode, we find Cynthia's top tips (and product recommendations!) for complexion-saving skincare do’s at 30,000 feet, post-flight and at the beach.
Plus! Jill and Carlene share their personal packing musts, including the self-tanner that finally won Carlene’s heart (and legs).
You’ll hear about:
- Why Cynthia would never apply retinoids or acids before getting on a plane
- Her fave post-flight eye masks (that we’d never heard of before!)
- What causes the appearance of enlarged pores in the summer, and how to make them look more refined
- The difference between sunspots and melasma, and the one in-office treatment that works
- The actually stylish UPF-protecting hat she’ll personally be wearing to the beach
- What to do if you accidentally get a sunburn
- How to reduce telltale, heat-induced flushing – fast
