Next to my dresser, I have a stack of wedding books with photos of famous brides through the decades—I walk down the aisle in t-minus two months! I keep coming back to one image, though—that timeless snapshot of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy emerging from the tiny chapel on Cumberland Island with John F. Kennedy, Jr., at her side. Everyone always remembers her languid Narciso Rodriguez slipdress, but her skin is what really stands out to me: It’s radiant and all lit up with just a touch of natural shine. I’m hoping to cultivate a similar glow for my nuptials, and as wonderful as my makeup artist is, I think I may need more than a primer and highlighter.
After a few weeks of pumping my fellow beauty editors for skincare recommendations, a trusted friend with great skin sent me to a facialist in Philadelphia who works out of a hotel spa that I normally would pass right by. Donna at Ettoré Spa is fantastic. She sent me home with two medical-grade skin boosters from Phyto-C, the chemistry-backed beauty brand from Dr. Mostafa Omar, a.k.a. the authority on topical vitamin C. The Velvet Gel contains pentapeptides and Coenzyme Q10 to build collagen while the Icy Blue is loaded with hyaluronic acid to bind moisture into skin cells. I was given instructions to dispense a pipette from each bottle in my palm, mix the liquids together, and then sweep the concoction over my face. I’ve been faithfully applying the blend each morning, and while it tingled a bit at first (not enough to actually burn), it’s completely transformed my complexion. My face feels amazingly smooth and soft—it even looks a bit dewy and CBK-like, if I do say so myself.
