We were invited back for the third year in a row to do the skincare for the Rebecca Minkoff NY Fashion Week Show. And, as always, we had the best time! Head on over to our Instagram, Tik Tok, and YouTube for a behind-the-scenes look at the show and the process. Are you looking to get runway ready skin? Do you ever wonder how models and celebrities look so flawless during fashion week? It's been a few weeks since the Rebecca Minkoff fashion show and we think it's time to share our tips and tricks on how we got the models ready for the show. The secret lies in their skin care routine. Pre-pandemic, most models were coming into our NYC Salon for the Super Nova Facial and LED Light Bed Sessions to get their face and bodies smooth and flawless with no downtime. This season, we used the Magic Glow Wand backstage to mimic the cryotherapy and heat benefits from the Super Nova Facial, within minutes. Lets first take a look at some behind the scenes footage from the show!
Your How-To Guide To Get The NYFW21 Look
Here is your step by step guide on how to achieve that model ready look:
Step 1. Cleanse your face with our Vitamin C Face Wash.
Our Vitamin C Face Wash cleanses away excess oil, pollution, and makeup to create a blank canvas, prepped and ready for a full day of makeup.
Step 2. Hydrate your face with a sheet mask.
A key step in the process is to hydrate the full eye area, from your cheekbone up to brow bones. The Bright Eye Hydrating Mask also tones the skin for a tighter, firmed finish around the eyes. For models in need of extra hydration, the full-face Forever Glow Anti-aging sheet mask is applied.
Step 3. De-puff your face with the Magic Glow Wand.
Apply the Magic Glow Wand over the mask for as long as you have time, we did it for about 3 minutes on the Cool + Massage setting backstage. Massage your face and neck to create a tightening and de-puffing effect instantly.
Step 4. Have an all day glow with our Rescue Serum.
This concentrated Vitamin C serum will boost radiance and create a smooth surface primed for makeup application. It creates the coveted glow that makeup artists adore.
If you want to take your model-ready look one step further, come into the salon for our Super Nova Facial! This celeb-facial resurfaces the skin with a nutrient-rich liquid exfoliation, leaving the skin baby smooth.

Why Darker Skin Tones Are More Sensitive Than You Think
Melanin-rich skin tones are often more sensitive than lighter complexions, despite common assumptions. While darker skin may not wrinkle as prominently or quickly because dermal cells are packed more tightly, African-American, Hispanic, Asian, and Mediterranean skin is actually more prone to irritation, breakouts, and conditions like rosacea. Thickness does not equal resilience, and understanding this allows for better, more personalized care.

How to Tell If You Have Sensitive Skin (Hint: 85% of Us Do)
To test if you have sensitive skin, press firmly on your cheek in a few spots and lift your finger. If redness appears where you pressed, you have sensitive skin. You can also check the crease of your nose next to the nostrils or your upper cheeks for small broken capillaries under the surface. Sensitivity often shows up as breakouts, redness, rosacea, or dry, flaky patches, and Joanna Vargas estimates that roughly 85% of her clients have sensitive skin, even if they don't realize it.
