BEAUTY HEROES: MEET TERESA TARMEY
The London-based celebrity facialist talks high-tech beauty for the home
She’s one of London’s most respected skincare experts, and her facials are beloved by some of the city’s most beautiful faces, from Kate Moss to Sienna Miller, Victoria Beckham to Naomie Harris. And there’s a reason for that: Teresa Tarmey’s treatments work, and she has 22 years of experience in the field to prove it.
In the clinic, she’s as known for her cutting-edge technology as for her manual work — her magic hands are known to lift skin and reverse the effects of ageing, and are a celebrity secret weapon deployed before a red-carpet event. Besides clinics in London and New York, Tarmey has residencies at spas and clinics such as VIVAMAYR in Austria and Huvafen Fushi in the Maldives.
For those unable to make it in for a treatment, Tarmey has developed home-care systems that come pretty close to giving you her salon-style results. Her 12-week Microneedling Kit, for example, comes with tools and skincare products that can transform your entire complexion, thanks to increased absorption of solutions infused with high-efficacy ingredients like lactic acid, peptides and hyaluronic acid — and wait till you get a load of her silicone mask, a reusable sheet-mask alternative. For immediate results, her Cryo-Ball is a game-changer to help slim and sculpt the face, while her Medical LED System is the most powerful light therapy available for home use. We got her insights on beauty and her work.
