For this special issue, we spoke to global experts and trend creators about how they've helped shape the industry, what it means to be in the business in current times and how the landscape has changed.
Skincare, Science, & Simplicity
DR BARBARA STRUM,
MD, AESTHETIC DOCTOR AND FOUNDER, DR BARBARA STRUM
Known for the popular vampire facial that went viral with Kim Kardashian, Dr Barbara Sturm became widely popular for her research-based and science-backed products. She's known for her MC1 cream - a prescription-based personalised face cream that's mixed with the client's own white blood cells. Her skincare line has taken that path; it's boosted with active ingredients and designed to heal the skin and reduce inflammation.
ELLE: What is your skincare routine like?
Barbara Sturm (BS): During the day, I use a facial scrub or DBS enzyme cleanser, twice a week, to remove dead skin cells, boost circulation and encourage skin renewal. After showering, I apply my balancing toner, hyaluronic serum and The Better B niacinamide serum. I follow it up with the Super Anti-Aging range of face cream, neck and décolleté cream, and when I have dark circles or puffiness, the eye cream. The face mask, which I use daily, acts as an effective 15-20-minute boost of rich hydration.
In the evening, I'll use the make-up remover and Super Anti-Ageing cream cleanser to remove impurities and deeply nourish my skin and the balancing toner. I layer it with the Super Anti-Aging range of serum, night cream and eye cream, and a lip balm and supplements.
