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.
