The 4-Part Morning Beauty Tool Routine!

Emily gets a facial at the hottest spa in town - Deanna's bathroom.

Emily here. First, I want to wish our Queen Deanna a very happy birthday today. While I should have been doing something nice, thoughtful and selfless for her, instead I tricked her into giving me a one-on-one private beauty tool session where she worked her magic on my face.

We all know Deanna loves her beauty tools AND her skin clearly loves them too. So, I barged into the most exclusive spa in town — Deanna’s bathroom. Don’t worry, I brought snacks.

For years she’s been telling me about her routine, but this was the first time I got to see the goddess at work with her arsenal of creams, beams and lasers.

Thankfully, not all maintenance comes easy to Deanna because this morning routine was starting to feel like a high bar I might not ever live up to! She busted out both of her Nira Lasers, the Dr. Dennis Gross Steamer (thank you, June!), the NuFACE, and the brand spanking new Medicube Age-R Booster Pro. Let’s get down to the nuts and bolts.

Step 1: We began with the Nira Laser Pro. This is a tool I own and also use (almost) daily. This is an FDA-cleared device that needs no conductor of any kind - just clean, fresh skin with nothing on it. It’s clinically proven to reduce wrinkles and works to stimulate your natural collagen. Deanna started with the Pro on my face, and then switched to the Nira Precision for around my eyes and the marionette lines around my mouth.

The precision has a smaller head but a bigger zap! Deanna taught me how to get at my eyelids with the laser, which was much needed. And now I’m going to copy her method to hopefully get my eyelids to stop trying to fall over my eyeballs and blind me. Happens to the best of us!

NIRA LASERS

• Reduces wrinkles

• Stimulates collagen

Step 2: After we lasered, Deanna busted out the NuFACE and you can see the fear in my eyes! I had a NuFACE mini at some point in my life and definitely learned the hard way that the conductor is a very very important part of the process. You are gonna feel those zaps without it! BUT, I should have known better. Deanna is a professional - I barely felt it.

NUFACE Microcurrent Facial Toning Device

• Microcurrent technology

• Gives a temporary lift

Deanna’s technique with the NuFACE taught me a lot. Three passes going up, up and up! Can you see one side of my face higher? As we casually told my daughter Este who was like, “Why are you doing that to your face?” It definitely felt like it energized my skin, waking it up.

At this point I’m lasered and zapped. 2 steps down and 2 more to go!

Step 3: Next up, the Dr. Dennis Gross steamer. Now, this was the only guy we let my daughter Este get involved with (and some cleanser) but when you visit the most exclusive spa in all of Los Angeles, everyone is getting a little something something. Also, Dr. Dennis has a PhD in steam, so it’s gotta be safe for a babyface, right? (P.S. Do ladies still pay money to steam their vaginas? LMK)

Dr. Dennis Gross Pro Facial Steamer

• Infuses skin with moisture

• Clarifies and purifies skin

I gotta be honest the steamer was a real treat. AND, I did look glowy for the rest of the day.

Step 4: BUT Deanna wasn’t done yet! This bitch was saving the mega power tool for last. She was just getting me steamed up for the big grand finale, the secret weapon that the Jet Blue credit finance department MADE her buy. The tool that we both decided was too advanced for my willy nilly, loosey goosey relationship with instructions - because the Medicube did not come to play!

Medicube Age-R Booster Pro

• 5 modes - Air Shot, MC, Derma Shot and Booster

• Booster Mode - creates tiny holes in the skin that allow for maximum absorption

The jelly and booster mode was really hydrating and incredible. When Deanna first described the booster mode, I felt like maybe she was just going to use the easy beginner mode on me, fearing that I was too much of a wuss one of the other 4 modes. Turns out, the booster mode is LEGIT. It was pulsating in an invigorating sort of way. Also, that spooky witch wand talks, which I was not expecting.

My skin felt really good for DAYS after. I got unprompted skin compliments (more than one) and one from a stranger!

Since my appointment in Deanna’s bathroom, I may have texted her to find out how to find a good deal on a Medicube in a TikTok shop so I can get my own. YES, we know I shouldn’t have one! But, if my skin is gonna look that good, shouldn’t I have one? Pretty sure we all know what Jet Blue would say.

I’ll be heading back to the spa for a nighttime routine - stay tuned!
