“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.
