Good skin and good vibes! Skincare legend Ole Henriksen has pampered some of Hollywood’s most iconic faces including Barbra Streisand, Naomi Campbell, Cher, Diana Ross, Halle Berry, Laura Dern, Jessica Alba, and Katy Perry, and now he’s sharing his surprisingly simple secrets for getting a glow.
While his Scandaniva born brand is known for results-driven staples like the Violet Ice Cold Plunge Pore Mask, Hydrabarrier Nourishing Face Oil, Banana Bright + Eye Crème, Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment, and Dewtopia 5% Acid Firming Night Crème, he tells ET that real radiance starts from within.
“Famous or not, I’ve always treated everyone like a star. Everyone in my book always deserves the best. … My goal is to help everyone love themselves and their skin,” he explains.
This philosophy applies when clients visit the company’s spa in West Hollywood, California with “emotional” skin, from cystic acne flare ups to dull complexions. His solution: a mindset-first, moisturizer second approach.
“Skin is your biggest organ, so you need to take care of it like the rest of yourself. … It’s about lifestyle, both mental and physical, that cares for skin,” the founder explains.
“It’s important to take a moment for yourself. Get up a little earlier to relax in the moment and avoid being rushed or stressed. … Splash your face with cold water, look at yourself in the mirror, and lend yourself a smile. It’s all about an inner glow that radiates and a love affair with life.”
Then comes the products, which are applied slowly and intentionally with a calming touch.
“Do your own spa at home and give back to yourself and give back to yourself and your skin. Start with some deep breathing and close your eyes before filling your sink with warm water mixed with lavender or rosemary oil. Then, put a towel in the water and hold it on your skin to rev up circulation,” the entrepreneur recommends.
“From there, I massage each step of my routine gently into my skin with outward and upward motions and allow 1-2 minutes between to let everything soak in. …Plan the time and invest in you. … Your health is your wealth, and you are #1 in your life,” he shares.
