We're here to make it easy on you. At Joanna Vargas, we provide you with accurate information to educate and guide you into the right facial treatment and skin care habits. Here are our most frequently asked questions from clients, customers and fans!

What is Vegan skincare?

Skin products that haven't been tested on animals, nor have been sourced from animal ingredients.

What is clean beauty?

Clean beauty is a product for the skin and body that don't contain ingredients that have found to be toxic to humans. Ours are also cruelty-free.

How do I prevent wrinkles and other signs of aging?

Use clinical grade skincare, avoid the sun, use sunscreen daily, and lastly, begin investing in monthly facial treatments.

How do I get rid of sunspots?

Book treatments such as facials and LED Beds. Use Vitamin C products, specifically Joanna Vargas Rescue Serum. My patented, anti-aging RevitaLight Bed was developed after reading studies that have shown LED lights to heal the skin at a 300% faster rate, firms and tightens your look, reduces inflammation and helps reduce the size of pores. The bed covers the entire body with red and infrared light, visibly reduces the appearance of cellulite, lines, wrinkles, and stretch marks to give a smoother and more even skin tone – all over!

How do I reverse signs of aging?

Invest in skincare products that contain retinol, like the Joanna Vargas Supernova Serum. The Supernova Serum Joanna Vargas’ powerful and ever effective new anti-aging serum. Super Nova, is a retinol product that separates itself from others by providing even more beautifying benefits than those offering retinol alone. As for Super Nova, while retinol provides a fresh and revitalized appearance, there are additional ingredients working on your skin.

How can I minimize the appearance of cellulite?

Dry brushing daily, before showering and using a cleanser with caffeine, like the Joanna Vargas Ritual Bar. You can also purchase our Dry Brush and Ritual Bar in a set called the Ritual Kit on our website.

What is the correct way to dry brush?

Use daily, beginning at the toes and fingers and brushing inwards towards the heart. Use straight, firm strokes. From reducing dead skin cells to improving the appearance of skin and supporting digestion, dry brushing the skin once or twice daily can have major benefits on your overall skin health. At its core, dry-brushing increases the plumpness of the skin, minimizing the appearance of cellulite and other lumps-and-bumps you might be concerned about. Additionally, brushing the skin while it’s dry allows the skin to be exfoliated without robbing it of moisture, as the hot water in the shower can do.

What is your most popular facial?
