A golden opportunity! When the invitation came to attend the Golden Globes on behalf of Eisenberg Paris, a beauty brand that sponsored the official 2023 swag bags for the event, I jumped at the chance. After 15 years as Executive Editor of Beauty & Style for Us Weekly covering the red carpet beauty prep of nominees behind the scenes, it was finally my turn to get glowing!
I had three weeks to prepare. First, I amped up my skincare routine. Enter skin cycling, where active ingredients are rotated to give cells “rest days,” preventing inflammation. For my before-bed routine, I immediately started alternating my Shani Darden Retinol Reform and Lactic Acid serums, adding in Retrouvé priming pads twice a week. Augustinus Bader The Cream followed by a dab of Furtuna Due Alberi Biphase Moisturizing Oil to seal in hydration finished the regimen before I hit the sheets, next to my Canopy Humidifier — which plumped up cells throughout the night.
Always a devotee of “big gun” anti-aging devices, I put myself on a steady schedule. Every other day I used the ZIIP device, an app-based gadget that emits a mix of micro- and nano-current to carve and firm facial contours, layering treatments including Sculpt & Lift, Instant Gratification and, my fave, Jowls. Every evening, while watching Netflix, I dutifully spritzed on LYMA oxygen-based Mist, frosted my face with the brand’s Glide and stroked the LYMA laser (which claims to boost collagen and elastin deep in the dermis) in vertical swipes along every section from neck to noggin.
Luckily, I’d visited NYC plastic surgeon Dr. Amy Lewis’ office in mid-November for a Sofwave treatment, an ultrasound technology purported to lift and firm while smoothing fine lines. Results are meant to kick in
