Kim Kardashian and Anna Wintour's skincare guru tells GLAMOUR the secrets behind the stars' Met Gala glow

As well as 'how the hell did Lady Gaga pull off four red carpet outfits?', the Met Gala 2019 left us with the same exact questions - how do the stars maintain such glowing skin under the gauntlet of flashbulbs? How exactly does their makeup look so frigging dewy? And most importantly, how can WE achieve the same? Well, our prayers have finally been answered thanks to Joanna Czech - skincare guru to the stars - who helped some of the biggest names in fashion prep for their red carpet turn.

With 30 years of experience, beginning in Poland, and built in NY, Joanna Czech believes that the key to beautiful skin is a long-term approach that incorporates a seasonal regimen and a healthy lifestyle rather than short term quick fixes.

Her treatments are a mixture of the most innovative technologies and timeless techniques, many of which she learned back in Poland. The results are undeniable and the processes are never too aggressive. LED, Ultrasound, Microcurrents, Cryotherapy, Manual Massage and Manipulation of the Facial Muscles are incorporated into her customised treatments that are based on the condition of the skin, rather than a type.

Joanna has a long list of notable clients including: Kim Kardashian, Phillip Lim, Anna Wintour, Christy Turlington Burns, Cate Blanchett , Kate Winslet, and Uma Thurman so it's safe to say she knows her stuff.

“Ideally I’ll see a client for three consecutive weeks before the event,” says Joanna. It’s OK once a week for 90 minutes each time. The final treatment could be shorter but that’s enough if it’s a sturdy client."

Here, she tells GLAMOUR exactly how to get 'big night out skin' - that coveted sculpted, sparkling best-skin-ever.

Three weeks to go…

The first week is where I can work slightly more on the aggressive side so I can try a deeper exfoliation, and try more acidic peels without risk. I focus on mechanical exfoliation. I’ll do a mild diamond peel, also a lot of LED therapy plus tonnes of massaging' up to 45 minutes' worth. For the massage, I use a lot of environ products, the pre-cleanse oil and clay mask because oils dissolves oil and clay masks detach impurities and hydrated patches.
