“I became an esthetician because I fell in love with taking care of people. I love the idea that someone would come to me one-on-one, tell me all their issues or insecurities, and I would help them overcome that. We would become a team, working together to get the skin the healthiest it could be for you,” says celebrity esthetician Joanna Vargas, founder of her eponymous spa and skin care line. “It’s about how you treat yourself: What products you use, how much you sleep, if you’re eating well. You have so much control over what you see in the mirror.” In this episode of Clean Beauty School, host and mindbodygreen beauty director Alexandra Engler chats with Vargas about the latest in spa treatments and technology, ingredients she loves for all skin needs, and why you should address the whole body (not just the face) in your skin care routine. Plus, how she became the one of the most sought-after facialists to the stars.
