Top NYC Facialist's Best-Kept Secrets
with Jolie De Feis (Hotline Skin)
Beauty is booming. Surprise!
We’re all drowning in a sea of cleansers, serums, tonics, moisturizers, elixirs, exfoliators, and sheet masks for our multi-stage daily ablutions — the pre-cleansing, the cleansing itself, and the post-cleansing — as immortalized by the 10-step K-beauty routine (and ofc the intra-week rituals to seal in the bounty!). But let’s face it: sometimes, the flash flood of products leads to a drought of results, or worse, breakouts and other unexpected tribulations that have us scratching our heads and questioning our skincare purification pilgrimage.
Selleb Spotlight this week features a NYC skincare savant recently anointed by New York Magazine’s Curbed as one of New York’s best facialists.
Meet Jolie De Feis, a NYC esthetician working out of Practise, the studio opened by industry icon Kristyn Smith. Jolie also pens the ultra-popular beauty newsletter Hotline Skin, where she shares expert guidance with an explicit reader-driven approach (you ask and Jolie will answer) and an implicit approach of skin first, beauty second, no gloss/glass or gimmicks, no fluff or fillers filters. You bet she knows (better than most) her way around the Sephora aisles.
This week, Jolie shares her top five skincare/beauty purchases that are worth a spot on your medicine cabinet shelf, with receipts to prove it. Let’s get into it.
