What is it like to get Rihanna's facial? Mi-Anne goes to Tracie Martin Spa to find out.
Transcript
00:00So this is the Pharmacy Honey Potion.
00:04Hey guys, it's Mianne and this is Beauty With Me.
00:07We are in the thick of awards season right now, guys, and you know what that means, more facials.
00:14This time I'm coming at you with one that's very exciting.
00:18Tracey Martin is a spa here in New York City that tends to some of Hollywood's most beautiful faces.
00:24Some names include Julia Roberts, Diane Lane.
00:28They also count Rihanna as a regular and I got to go to the spa this month and get the
00:37Rihanna special.
00:38They call it the Electrofusion Facial.
00:40It retails for $800 and I got to do it.
00:45So without further ado, let's go Tracey Martin.
00:49So when Rihanna goes to Tracey Martin, like most of their celebrity clients,
00:53they are going before a big event like Met Gala Awards season.
00:57So she goes,
00:59Ham.
00:59The treatment itself starts with a 15-minute session in their Ruby Ray LED light bed,
01:05which looks like a tanning bed, but trust me, it is not.
01:09This is a really cool device because you sit inside the bed and it just blasts you with red LED
01:16lights
01:17to help combat anything from lines and wrinkles, inflammation, and boost collagen.
01:22So this type of technology is definitely best done repeatedly,
01:25but one session does have a very good glow boosting effect.
01:30I did definitely see a difference when I got out.
01:32Once my 15 minutes was up, I walked into the treatment room to meet my facialist, Irina.
01:37She was such a sweetie and she started with a nice, gentle cleanse
01:43and moved on to diamond-tipped micropefabrasion, which I used to exfoliate my skin
01:50and followed up with an enzyme exfoliating mask.
01:53That's pineapple enzyme.
01:55It helps to dissolve the dry skin so you don't have to mechanically rub it and irritate the skin.
02:01Then it was time to bring up the big guns.
02:05Tracy Martin is known for this re-sculptor machine that they created
02:09and this is a form of microcurrent that is very intense.
02:14It helps drain lymph, it helps improve circulation,
02:17it helps stimulate muscles to help improve tone and kind of the contours of your face.
02:22It uses a couple of different applications of microcurrents.
02:25So there are forks and there are also electrodes
02:27that are these weird, black, sticky things that I got stuck to my face
02:30and it kind of like put the electricity through it.
02:33It looks so weird.
02:35It's so interesting.
02:36Is it on right now?
02:37Yes.
02:38It was really cool, it didn't hurt at all, it was actually very relaxing.
02:41After one session of re-sculpting, Irina applied some skin here to my face,
02:46the usual toner, followed up with a nice gel mask that's rich in antioxidants.
02:52This mask isn't just really soothing and cooling on the skin,
02:54and it actually acts as a conductor for the microcurrent as well.
02:58So we went in for round two of that device.
03:06Once that session was over, Irina applied some eye masks, a neck and body serum.
03:20And then brought out the second of the total of three machines that she would use on my face.
03:25This was the Amber LED light machine.
03:27And this one specifically stimulates collagen production in the skin.
03:31And you can tell how the pores are much tighter and it's just so glowing,
03:35and the skin tone is more even. It's very, like, effective.
03:40Next, Irina used a special machine that emits both red LED light and radio frequency.
03:47Radio frequency is a really nice machine. I've had it done in other facials in the past.
03:50It is a very lovely, very warm machine that's sliding all over your face,
03:54that actually uses a specific type of energy to heat the skin's deeper layers,
03:59to induce the production of collagen and elastin.
04:09So we're going to use our oxygen peptide mist.
04:12Just brightening, hydrating.
04:15Last but not least, Irina applied some skincare to my face and set me on my way.
04:22I'm finished for today.
04:24It looks so good.
04:26Well, I'm like...
04:26Looks amazing.
04:28So good.
04:29After all that 90 minutes, I did notice a significant de-puffing of my skin.
04:36My skin looked smoother, my skin looked brighter, my pores looked smaller.
04:39I mean, if I was a celebrity, I would probably definitely go before an award show,
04:43but $800 is ridiculously high to pay for a facial.
04:48As usual, guys, I am not here to tell you how to spend your money.
04:53I'm not going to tell you to go and blow $800 on something.
04:56If you want to, do it, because it was a very, very nice facial.
05:00So Tracy Martin does offer some cheaper options,
05:03but for those of you who don't want to go out and spend a lot of money on a facial,
05:07I do have some at-home products that might be of interest to you.
05:10So starting off with the NuFace, an at-home microcurrent device.
05:14I like to specifically target my jaw area, because that's where I get the most puffy.
05:18It is not a cheap machine, but it does last...
05:22I mean, it's a machine.
05:23You charge it, it lasts a long time, and in theory, you could be using it forever.
05:26So next up is a mask.
05:28This is the Pharmacy Honey Potion Renewing Antioxidant Hydration Mask,
05:31and it actually warms on contact as you're rubbing it in.
05:35So you do kind of feel like you're getting this squalic experience,
05:38because of the mask, you can actually feel it working.
05:40Honey is antibacterial.
05:42It's also a humectant, so it's quite hydrating.
05:44So this mask is going to brighten, it's going to really hydrate.
05:47I think it's really great to use before or after the plane,
05:51or if your skin just needs a little pick-me-up.
05:53All right, so that is it, guys.
05:54I hope you guys enjoyed watching this video, and I will see you guys next week.
05:57Bye!
