What Goes Into Your Signature Facial to Prep The Skin for The Met Gala?
There’s a lot that goes into a facial for an event as big as the Met Gala. It’s all about intention, strategy, and precise timing. Jarosz starts it with reading the skin and its needs: hydration, inflammation, tension, and lymphatic levels. The specific facial she does for her Met Gala celebrity clients is called Lift, Sculpt & Slap. She combines deep sculpting massage, lymphatic drainage, and buccal techniques to relax the jaw, lift cheekbones, and contour the skin.
“For an event like the Met Gala, skin preparation has to be extremely precise. It needs to look luminous under HD cameras, sculpted in flash photography, and completely natural in motion. My approach is always fully customized, but the philosophy remains the same: sculpt the structure, perfect the surface, and create a luminous, camera-ready finish,” she told E!.
Other than these massage techniques, Jarosz uses a mix of products custom to her clients’ specific skin needs. She uses products that are formulated to be lightweight, deeply hydrating, and refine texture to leave their skin radiant, plump, and “glass-like.”
Another important aspect? Timing. “I typically treat clients the day before or the morning of the event, depending on their skin and schedule. In some cases, preparation begins well in advance to ensure the skin is in optimal condition.”
