We caught up with Ole Henriksen for his natural secret on how to fake awake for those days when a good night’s sleep seems like a faraway dream. This easy at-home remedy is part of every OLEHENRIKSEN complexion treatment at theOLEHENRIKSEN Spa in Beverly Hills — a truly relaxing and invigorating treatment to de-puff and brighten your fatigued eyes. All you’ll need is two simple ingredients to achieve a more rested look. Ingredients: Half A Cucumber Gauze or cheese cloth

Start by grating the cucumber. This releases the Caffeic Acid, which will reduce swelling in the eye region. Place the shredded cucumber in the center of gauze or cheese cloth and roll into a sushi-like roll. Rest the sushi roll over your eyes and leave in place for at least 10 minutes.

For a complete home spa ritual, Ole recommends using his hydrating lavender infused Blue/Black Berry Enzyme Mask while the cucumber sushi roll is in place. Take this time to lay on your back on a cushioned carpet with a nice pillow under your head and drift off into meditation while this deeply relaxing mask exfoliates your skin and the cucumber roll brightens and tightens the eye region. Follow with Ultimate Lift Eye Gel to seal in all the benefits from the cucumber booster treatment, leaving you with a fresh, radiant glow!

Ole’s Renewing Holiday Ritual

Here at OLEHENRIKSEN, the holidays are our favorite time of year. The promise of good friends, great food and the spirit of goodwill make this truly the most wonderful time of the year! We all want to look and feel our best, and self-care is even more important during this hectic season so be sure to make a date with yourself to re-energize!

Personally I like to build in an extra 30 minutes a few evenings a week to unwind and prep for the skin renewal process that happens when I sleep. No matter what products I am treating myself with that evening, I always start with a nice hot shower with rub n’ buff body salt scrub to exfoliate and increase micro-circulation. For my face, I like to treat my skin to POWER PEEL, my professional grade microdermabrasion and peel system. The first step is Almond Polish, to exfoliate while my pores are open from the hot steam, working this into my skin in a gentle circular motion. Next, I rinse and pat dry, to make my skin ready for lemon strip flash peel, a powerful multi-acid peel, over which I layer Chamomile Comfort Mask, a milky clay which calms and soothes the skin while the peel goes to work. After just 10 minutes, I rinse and it is truly amazing the immediate results I see in the mirror, my skin is firmer, radiant, my pores look tighter, and my skin’s texture is so smooth.

I wrap up my evening regimen with truth eye peel concentrate and ultimate lift eye gel to firm, smooth and hydrate my eyes, and a quick layering of invigorating night gel and sheer transformation to resurface and hydrate my face.   By morning I feel transformed and ready for whatever the holidays have in store.

Of course, I love mixing up my routine depending on the needs of my skin, but hope you enjoyed a glimpse into how I stay fresh for the holidays when I need an energizing kick! In the spirit of self care, I have created a complete at home luxury spa experience – the Ole La La Glow From Head To Toe Blockbuster Set. So if you are looking to try or give a variety of my personal favorites you can’t beat this perfectly package limited edition collection. You’ll watch your skin – or your loved one’s skin -transform into beautiful, radiant skin from head to toe!

Remember to care for yourself this holiday season and you are sure to shine and give the best to those around you! Remember a happy face is a beautiful face!

Cheers,

Ole
