Malina Saval Associate Editor, Features It’s time to step into Oscar week face-forward with rejuvenating skin treatments favored by stars and non-celebrities alike seeking a youthful, dewy, radiant glow.  “Exfoliating and hydrating are the key to glowing skin,” says Alison Kirsten, director of spa operations at LA’s Fairmont Century City Plaza. “My suggestion would be to cleanse, exfoliate, apply a sheet mask, depuff with a sculpting tool, use a LED device, apply a serum, and end with a facial massage with an oil-based serum to lock in moisture for smooth and supple skin.”  The hotel’s 14,000-square foot spa offers a bevy of awards-season facials, including the Dr.

Rita Rakus “Red Carpet Radiance” Facial ($450), an award-winning treatment that utilizes the 4-step protocols of the Dr. Rita Jetlift system to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and the Avenue of the Stars “Super Power” Facial ($750), which uses a specialized anti-aging serum that boosts epidermal moisture and skin elasticity and is guaranteed to make you look refreshed and replenished in just 75 minutes.  “Her signature skincare range has been specifically developed to maintain good skin health on a daily basis,” says Kirsten of the Dr.

Rita Rakus line. “Her products fight the first signs of aging by targeting each layer of the skin to thoroughly hydrate the whole face.”  In the heart of downtown LA, the “Red Carpet Ready” treatments at the Ritz-Carlton Spa, Los Angeles are de rigueur for any and all chasing a fresh-faced look.
