Dare to Bare - Joanna Vargas

Break up with your breakouts! During the summer months, your body increases oil and sweat production which leads to clogged pores and pesky flare-ups. We chatted with the one and only skincare guru and celebrity esthetician, Joanna Vargas, for the lowdown on how to banish breakouts once and for all.

Tip 1:

Incorporate a gentle (but mighty!) foaming cleanser like our Miracle Bar to remove dirt, oil, and wash away impurities. Charcoal kills breakout-causing bacteria and dissolves pore-clogging dead skin. This unique bar soap doubles as a face and body cleanser helping to control bacne - back acne. We recommend sudsing up at night to rinse the bod from daily pollution, grime, and makeup.

Tip 2:

Spend three to five minutes before showering to improve acne scarring and preventing future blemishes. Using a dry bristle brush like our Ritual Brush helps to awaken skin cells by diminishing the appearance of cellulite while improving the appearance of skin texture and tone.

Tip 3:

Pop into our NY or LA salon for an Oxygen Facial for the back! This beauty treatment is designed to visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines temporarily for a silky smooth glow. We use medical-grade oxygen to plump and hydrate the skin while improving clarity, texture, and tone with sessions over time. Click here to schedule an appointment.
