We’re chatting with facialist-to-the-stars, Joanna Vargas! Joanna counts famous faces like Karlie Kloss, Mindy Kaling and Rachel Brosnahan among her elite clientele. On top of heading up her branded spas in both Manhattan and L.A. and running her eponymous skincare business, Joanna is author of the essential skincare guide, “Glow From Within.” In today’s episode, we’re learning about skin barrier health 101, untangling the biggest culprits that lead to a damaged skin barrier (like, are exfoliating toners as villainous as they’re made out to be?) and how to know when yours has been compromised.
Stay tuned as Joanna shares her top tips for maintaining and repairing a damaged skin barrier, as we discuss everything from skincare “slugging,” to whether humidifiers can actually help to the holy grail products she swears by. But first, we’re kicking it off with a mini “damn goods” review in partnership with one of todays’ show partners, Strivectin. Find out why the brand’s timely new Wrinkle Recode Moisture Rich Barrier Cream had us feeling moist and cocooned all holiday long.
