My Red Carpet Facial with Olga Lorencin

This past weekend, I had the honor of getting the famous Red Carpet Facial with Olga Lorencin.  I had heard of her Red Carpet Facial in a Box that all the celebs use, but I was especially excited to get this facial from Olga herself, in person.

The first thing I noticed is that Olga looks amazing!  She told me she had been doing facials for 30 years, but she doesn’t look old enough to have been working that long.  Definitely a good sign for someone I’m about to trust with my skin.  Her salon was gorgeous and situated adjacent to Rodeo Drive.  And I was offered orange-infused water.  I felt fancy just walking in there.

Chatting with Olga was like visiting a long-lost friend.  It’s always a little awkward going to a new spa for the first time.  What if you don’t vibe well?  Will the conversation be awkward?  This was not the case at all.  Olga was warm and welcoming.

She also noticed things about my skin immediately.  She was like the skin-whisperer.  She could tell by touching my face that I grind my teeth, and also said that overall my skin was pretty good.  She advised me to not use scrubs on my face because they weren’t a good fit for my skin type.  (Who knew?! I had been using scrubs for a while!)

The facial itself was such a great experience.  I think Olga probably applied 15 different products, one at a time.  She rubbed them into my face, neck, and chest, and put something on my hands as well.  The whole process took maybe an hour.  It was relaxing, it was oh-so-fancy, and oh yes – one step had a bit of a sting, but only for about 30 seconds.

Olga told me that skin is like an onion.  You have the rough patches on the outside, but underneath is new, fresh skin.  You cannot take a short cut to get to that fresh skin, so when you do these facials, a little bit peels off each time.  After a few weeks of regular use, you will have brighter and more youthful looking skin.

When the facial was over, Olga sent me home with a cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and eye cream.  Watching her walk through her inventory was like watching Gordon Ramsay in the kitchen.  “This cleanser, not that toner, let’s do this toner.  And this eye cream, and use around the eyes and lips twice a day.”  She also sent me home with the Red Carpet Facial in a Box to use twice a week to start, and then once a week after that.  (And I’ll obviously be hiding it from my boyfriend who loves to use my skin care products but doesn’t have a single wrinkle or any sign of sun damage.  So jealous!)

If you are local, I would definitely advise getting the Red Carpet Facial from Olga.  But if you are not, check out the Red Carpet Facial in a Box.  The cost is $109 but it has 14-16 treatments in it.   It’s a great value for such an amazing product AND if you use code PARENTDAZE, you will get 20% off.   (Seriously, google it.  The reviews are amazing and it will have you glowing!)
