Photo: Tim Robberts/Getty Images Before the pandemic, Georgia Louise could sometimes be found on Jennifer Aniston’s plane, giving her a facial. Today, she’s in her kitchen, assessing my cheeks via iPhone. “They look a bit … gray,” she says skeptically. Skin-care experts refer to this kind of socially distanced facial as a “virtual skin session” — a new form of tele-beauty in which an aesthetician examines your complexion through HD Zoom or an iPhone’s retina display. .
Both Louise and Rouleau tell me that since social distancing began in mid-March, they’ve been busier than ever. Rouleau has actually been offering virtual consultations called My Skin Prescription since 2012, but now her aestheticians are working mornings, weekends, and nights to satisfy the new demand. Rouleau’s sessions roughly follow a six-step framework.
When she says “Show me,” I crane my neck and hope that it doesn’t matter that I skipped the last two iPhone updates. She tells me that the skin on our neck is actually more sensitive and hypothesizes that since the scaliness only occurs in one patch, I may have applied an acid to my face and then touched my neck. Her suggestion is to moisturize it and leave it alone for a few days. I do, and she’s right. It fades completely.
I can definitely see that my cheeks look a little more chipmunk-y than usual, probably from snacking while watching Terrace House late the night before. The remedy, Louise says, is to do some lymphatic drainage, ideally morning and night, but for the next ten minutes, we do one together. First, we have to “activate” the system, so we find a soft point about a half inch under my clavicle. She tells me to “pump” and press gently there with the sides of my ring and index finger about 20 times.
