I Tried Karlie Kloss Facial

Raquel Paiva September 8, 2016

Few weeks ago I went to Joanna Vargas skin care SPA to get a Power Peel. Joanna Vargas is known for being a celebrity skincare guru. Some of her clients are: Zac Posen, Sofia Coppola, Michelle Williams and Karlie Kloss. Since one of my (everybody) dreams is to have Karlie Kloss fresh and glowing skin, I wanted to try this miraculous treatment.

When I got to the spa, I met the lovely Elizabeth who executed the treatment. The first step was a Microdermabrasion, which is a procedure that exfoliates and removes the superficial layer of dry, dead skin cells. And then she applied the blueberry detox peel, which stimulates the skin and improves circulation. I loved this part because Elizabeth explained to me how this blueberry detox would help to get rid of the dryness and bumps on my face. It was also nice to know that she was applying a product super natural that has a fruit as its main ingredient.

After that, it was time for the LED light, which I was kind scared because I had to wear goggles and I was afraid of the light burning my skin, but it was actually not harmful at all. She used the red light to heal and calm my skin, and infrared red light to stimulate collage production.

Lastly, the treatment ended with a green tea and aloe serum and some oxygen, which felt wonderful! We were talking about how our skin is exposed to so much pollution and almost never get clean and pure oxygen, which is a great anti-inflammatory and anti-bacteria. Before I left the spa she applied some chamomile moisturizer to calm my skin down.

I can definitely notice an improvement on my face. It was instantly smoother, and more hydrated. Feeling like a celebrity.
