1. DO-IT-ALL SERUM Vintner's Daughter Active Botanical Serum is proof that good things come in tiny (and not-so-inexpensive) bottles. The 22 active ingredients are all recognizable — a refreshing and rare quality, considering most skincare products read like a chemistry experiment. The non-comedogenic serum does it all: inhibits discoloration, evens out complexion, and diminishes wrinkles. It's liquid gold for the skin. Vintner's Daughter Active Botanical Serum $185, at Joanna Czech, 2410 Victory Park Lane, 214.812.9488; vintnersdaughter.com. 2. MAKEUP ERASER As someone who's always equated soapy suds with a cleanser's worth, I was reluctant to switch to an oil-based product. It seemed counterintuitive. Would it really remove all my makeup? In fact, yes. Two pumps of Tatcha's Camellia Cleansing Oil, followed by a warm rinse, is all it takes to erase all traces of the day's makeup. It even works on stubborn waterproof mascara. Added bonus: It's paraben-free and organic. Tatcha Camellia Cleansing Oil $48, at TTH Forty Five Ten, 60 Highland Park Village, 214.252.0510; tatcha.com. 3. GOOP IS GOOD I've read that Gwyneth Paltrow uses this mask every day so this little nugget of wisdom from the fountain of youth herself was all I needed to give Goop's Exfoliating Instant Facial a go. The result? This three-minute mask left my skin smoother, brighter, and with a subtle (but noticeable!) lit-from-within glow. It's hard to believe anything could make my skin look so good so quickly. Add this one to your pre- party skincare routine. Goop Exfoliating Instant Facial $125, at Forty Five Ten on Main, 1615 Main St., 214.559.4510; shop.goop.com. 4. 90-MINUTE MIRACLE Just a few minutes into my first facial at Joanna Czech's Victory Park office, I was already rearranging my calendar to schedule another. Using skin-plumping LED and ultrasound therapy, this treatment is one of the most productive 90 minutes in your day. Each facial is customized to the individual and delivers immediate results: smaller pores and a dewy complexion. Book one during your lunch hour. From $225, at Joanna Czech, 2410 Victory Park Lane, 214.812.9488; joannaczech.com. 5. GAME CHANGER Don't let the name fool you: Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 is not a lotion. It's an exfoliating toner that, thanks to a combination of lactic and salicylic acid, gives you the best skin of your life. Applying a toner post-cleanse is an extra step, yes, but if you're using the P50, it's a necessary one. Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 $98, at The Spa at The Joule, 1530 Main St., 214.748.1300; thejouledallas.com; biologique-recherche.us. 6. BEST-KEPT SECRET With a key birthday just two months away, anti-aging is starting to have a whole new ring. I'm relying on extraordinary dermatologist Dr. Jennifer Cather to guide me down the right path. Along with standard dermatology services, her Park Lane practice offers a host of cosmetic treatments such as photofacials, chemical peels, and, of course, Botox. Appointments are hard to come by — perhaps even more so now that I've let this little cat out of the bag. My advice: Take a number. It's worth it. Modern Dermatology, 9101 N. Central Expressway, Suite 160, 214.265.1818; modernderm.com 86 BEST FACE FORWARD Contributing style editor BRADLEY AGATHER MEANS makes room for six powerhouse skincare picks. PHOTO BY TONY SOLIS.
