Other than missing my family and close friends in LA, I really miss my longtime facialist Crystal Klug. Crystal has been taking care of my skin since I was a college student at USC! Even through my travels around the world and seeing other facialists, I'd always go straight to Crystal the minute I landed in LA. I've often shown up at her door jetlagged and dirty haired with suitcases. She used to work for Finer Skin Institute but is now working out of her apartment. If you live in LA, go see her, I promise you will get the best facial of your life (it's not the most glamorous of locations but who cares, your skin will be flawless)! (My other skin guru is Annie in Taipei, but that is another post all together).
One of the products Crystal turned me onto is the H2T pumpkin enzyme mask. I use the 5% on my face and the 20% on my body. It's really really messy so I usually stand in the shower while I do this and feel like a slimy creature from hell but it's so worth it! The pumpkin enzyme will sting for a few minutes or longer depending on your skin's sensitivity but enzyme is a bit less harsh than glycolic and the results on my face and body are stunning! My whole body literally glows afterwards and my skin is so soft! Celebs pay a fortune to have whole body enzyme peels but you can do it at home if you have time. You can buy it online here or Email Crystal to schedule a facial and buy it from her (although I am not sure she sells the higher strength one for the body). Tell her I said hi and I'll be seeing her in June :)










does this mask work on acne prone skin? i dont really get that much acne anymore, i do have some scarring and redness. if you could also recommend something for acne scars, i would love you!
woops, i forgot to put my name!
Yes! It is great for acne, I actually will put a spot of it on my blemish overnight and the pimple is usually gone by morning! BUT PLEASE DO NOT PUT THIS ON OPEN BLEMISHES! I use it on the little bumps that appear before it turns into a zit :)
Hi beauty snob tina,
Would you mind telling me the contact/email or your other skin guru, Annie in Taipei? I am visiting Taipei this summer and would like to have my facial done. :)
Thank You so much!
i ordered the body one, and it came so quick!!! It smells SOOOO GOOD!!! Thanks so much for the recommendation :)
