So, this is the Farmacy Honey Potion-
Hey guys, it’s Mi-Anne, and this is Beauty With Mi.
We are in the thick of awards season right now, guys.
And you know what that means.
More.
Facials.
This time, I’m coming at you with one that’s very exciting.
Tracie Martyn is a spa here in New York City that tends to some
of Hollywood’s most beautiful faces.
Some names include, Julia Roberts, Diane Lane.
They also count Rihanna as a regular.
And I got to go to the spa this month, and get the “Rihanna Special.”
They call it the Electrofusion Facial.
It retails for $800, and I got to do it.
So, without further ado, let’s go to Tracie Martyn, but before we start,
please make sure you are subscribed down below, and please follow me
on Instagram @mianne.chan.
So, when Rihanna goes to Tracie Martyn, like most of their celebrity clients,
they are going before a big event, like Met Gala, awards season.
So, she goes HAM.
The treatment itself starts with a 15 minute session in their Ruby Ray
LED Light Bed, which looks like a tanning bed, but trust me it is not.
This is a really cool device because you sit inside the bed, and it just blasts you
with red LED lights.
To help combat anything from lines and wrinkles, inflammation, and boost collagen.
So, this type of technology is definitely best done repeatedly, but one session does
have a very good glow, boosting effect.
I did definitely see a difference when I got out.
Once my 15 minutes was up, I walked into the treatment to meet my facialist, Irina.
She was such a sweety.
And she started with a nice, gentle cleanse.
And moved onto diamond tip microdermabrasion, which is used to
exfoliate my skin.
And followed up with an enzyme exfoliating mask.
It has pineapple enzyme, kind of helps to dissolve the dry skin, so you don’t have
to mechanically rub it and irritate the skin.
Then it was time to bring out the big guns.
Tracie Martyn is known for this resculptor machine that they created.
And this is a form of microcurrent that is very intense.
It helps drain lymph.
It helps improve circulation.
It helps stimulate muscles to help improve tone, kind of the contours of your face.
It uses a couple of different applications of microcurrent.
So, there are forks.
And there are also electrodes.
That are these weird black, sticky things that I got stuck to my face,
and it kinda like, put the electricity through it.
Woah, it looks so weird.
It’s so interesting- is it on right now?
Yes.
It was really cool.
It didn’t hurt at all.
It was actually very relaxing.
After one session of resculpting, Irina applied some skincare to my face,
the usual toner.
Followed up with a nice gel mask that’s rich in antioxidants.
This mask isn’t just really soothing, and cooling on the skin.
It actually acts as a conductor for the microcurrent
machine as well.
So, we went into round 2 of that device.
Once that session was over, Irina applied some eye masks.
A neck and body serum.
And then brought out the second of the total of three machines that she would
use on my face.
This was the Amber LED Light Machine, and this one specifically stimulates
collagen production in the skin.
And you can tell how the pores are much tighter, and they’re just so glowing.
And the skin tone is more even.
It’s very like, effective.
Next, Irina used a special machine that emits red LED light and radio frequency.
Radio frequency is really nice machine, I’ve had it done in other facials
in the past.
It is very lovely, very warm machine that slides all over your face.
But actually it uses a specific type of energy to heat the skin’s deeper layers
to induce the production of collagen, and elastin.
So, we’re going to use our oxygen peptide mist.
Brightening.
Hydrating.
Last, but not least, Irina applied some skincare to my face and sent me on my way.
All finished for today.
It looks so good. Thank you.
Uh, I’m like.
Looks amazing.
So relaxed.
After all that 90 minutes, I did notice a significant de-puffing of my skin.
My skin looked smoother.
My skin looked brighter.
My pores looked smaller.
I mean, if I was a celebrity, I would probably definitely go before an
award show, but $800 is ridiculously high to pay for a facial.
As usual guys, I am not here to tell you how to spend your money.
I am not going to tell you to go and blow $800 on something.
If you want to, do it, cause it was a very, very nice facial.
So, Tracie Martyn does offer some cheaper options, but for those of you
who don’t want to go out and spend a lot of money on a facial, I do have
some at-home products that might be of interest to you.
So, starting off with the NuFace.
This is an at-home microcurrent device.
I like to specifically target my jaw area because that’s where I get the most puffy.
It is not a cheap machine, but it does last- I mean it’s a machine, you charge it.
It lasts a long time, and in theory you could be using it forever.
So, next up is a mask.
This is the Farmacy Honey Potion Renewing Antioxidant Hydration Mask,
and it actually warms on contact as you are rubbing it in.
So, you do kinda feel like you’re getting this spa-like experience because the mask-
you can actually feel it working.
Honey is antibacterial.
It’s also a humectin, so it’s quite hydrating.
So, this mask is going to brighten.
It’s going to really hydrate.
I think it’s really great to use before or after the plane,
or if your skin just needs a little pick me up.
Alright, so that is it guys.
