When you get invited to experience a Lena Bratschi facial, you do not dilly-dally. Bratschi is a facialist to the stars—her roster of clients this year includes Jessie Buckley, Elizabeth Debicki, Alicia Vikander, Kristen Wiig, Aimee Lou Wood, Nicola Peltz Beckham and Regé-Jean Page, to name just a few. In fact, I saw her right after she did the skin prep for Mia McKenna Bruce ahead of her BAFTA win.
This year, Bratschi has covered the Palm Springs Film Festival, the Golden Globes, the Critics' Choice Awards, the Independent Spirit Awards, and the BAFTAs—and now she’s gearing up for the Oscars. So, how does a celebrity facial (for the biggest awards show in the world, no less) differ from what us normies get?
