Real Review
“Piper and I tried these DIY 3 ingredient face masks last night and we had so much fun! She loved getting to apply the mask and feel like a ‘big girl’. Both of our skin felt SO soft after! I used the one for devitalized skin and Piper used the one for dry skin! We will definitely be doing these DIY 3 ingredient face masks again! I can’t wait to try a different combo!” – Lauren, @pipers_picks

About the Creator!
A former protégé of British perfume maven Jo Malone, esthetician Andrea DeSimone has garnered a loyal following among those with problem skin. After battling cystic acne, eczema, and allergies throughout her teenage years, DeSimone developed her skills by experimenting with her own hypersensitive skin. Now with 16 years in the business, the esthetician has built her practice around the idea that every face requires its own personalized regimen.
DeSimone believes in simple solutions, working mainly with all-natural, organic products and relying on her hands, rather than machines, to nurture, detoxify, and revitalize her clients’ skin. Her signature service is an enzyme-and-lymphatic-drainage facial, which starts with identifying problem areas with her fingertips. She moves on to a gentle double-cleanse followed by toning, exfoliating with natural digestive enzymes, and extractions if necessary, then tops it off with a mask, facial massage, and work around the neck and shoulders.
