As a redhead, taking care of my fair skin has been a lifelong process. And even at 30, I sometimes struggle with acne like I had at 15 - in addition to annoying combination skin issues (my chin can be dry and flakey even as I'm fighting off blackheads two inches north on my nose.) So when I went to Yasmine Djerradine for one of her signature facials, I was hoping to experience something promising (and hopefully lasting) in terms of caring for my skin in this new decade of my life. I've had lots of facials over the years - many of which have been in NYC, so "quality" has always been a part of the experience. But I have to say, the facials I've had at this spa (two now) have been the best, the most thorough, and the most agreeable to my sometimes disagreeable skin. Yasmine herself worked on me, applying some sort of mask that literally felt tingly and stimulating for my skin, as well as gently extracting all of my blackheads, and hydrating my face (especially my historically dry chin) that lasted well after the facial. It's always been business as usual with the same dryness / blackhead issues within days of other facials I've received in the past. But instead of dealing with the usual combo skin a week later, my face was clear, soft, hydrated and glowing. Since then, I've had one other facial from Yasmine and my skin has never looked better. Her spa also carries many different products - I purchased the P50 exfoliating solution after the first facial (which I've been using ever since, and my blackheads are now much more controlled) and the spot treatment Drying Lotion after my second session, in order to deal with pimples during my cycle. I feel fortunate to have discovered this spa just as I've entered my 30's - I've never felt so good! Definitely pay Yasmine a visit if you're looking to have the healthiest possible experience in your own skin.
