ATHLEISURE MAG OCT 2019 | She Gives That Glow with Toska Husted

SHE GIVES THAT GLOW with Toska Husted

There's nothing better than glowing, clear skin! It doesn't matter whether you're hanging around your house, at the office, going on errands or are enjoying a spe- cial night out! When you have great skin, there's a glow that comes from within. We took a moment to talk to Celebrity Skin- care Expert and Owner of Toska European Spa, Toska Husted. She has been respon- sible for a number of Hollywood's stars including Jennifer Aniston. We wanted to know tips on how we can achieve that look as well as the Biologique Recherche Remodeling Face Machine that she uses in her spas where she is also 1 of 5 brand ambassadors for this company. With the holidays coming up, Awards Season and whatever red carpet moment you're fo- cused on, we're giving you the scoop on achieving great skin!

of the most elite beauty schools in Eu- rope, and with the finest products and technology, I can achieve results that are immediately visible, and long lasting, too.

AM: With Awards Season about to get into full swing, what do you feel that your cli- ents are looking for?

TH: During Awards Season, clients come in wanting to look like the best version of themselves. When it comes to skincare, that includes healthy skin that is free of breakouts, evenly toned, youthful, and with a glowing complexion.

AM: You are 1 of 5 brand ambassadors for Biologique Recherche. Can you tell us about this brand and why you wanted to align with them?

ATHLEISURE MAG: When did you realize you wanted to work in skincare?

TOSKA HUSTED: When I was growing up, the women in my family made a point to take great care of their skin, which in- spired me down the road. Later in life, I had the opportunity to attend Steiner, the elite beauty school in London. While there, I wanted to learn not only how to take the best care of my skin, but also how to help others achieve that, too.

AM: What is Toska European Spa and what services are offered there?

TH: Toska European Spa is an expert Bi- ologique Recherche center where we offer our clients result-driven facial treat- ments. All of our facials are hyper-person- alized and are tailored to a client’s specific needs.

AM: You have a celebrity filled client list that includes Jennifer Aniston, Ashley Bus- ch (our March 2018 cover), why do you find that you are being sought out for those that want to be known as #skingoals and #nofilterneeded?

TH: Biologique Recherche is focused on results. The reason I choose to work with this brand exclusively is that they respect the skin’s integrity and health. Skincare is seen as an important part of the overall wellness and is not just cosmetic.

AM: You’ve been able to achieve glowing results via the brand’s Remodeling Face Machine – what does this machine do in tandem with products created by them?

TH: The Remodeling Face Machine com- bines four types of electric currents to tone and sculpt facial muscles, improve muscle memory, and revitalize the epi- dermis. By using BR products with the Remodeling Face Machine, we can target specific skin concerns such as acne, hy- perpigmentation, loss of tone and elastic- ity, and more.

By altering the settings, how does that af- fect the kind of glow that you can achieve? Each treatment is tailored to the client’s needs— depending on what their skin re- quires, I adjust the settings and use a spe- cific cocktail of serums.

high intensity. You have credited her Greek skin the ability to have high pain toler- ance for these intense treatments. Does ancestry have something to do with this area and are there certain ancestral back- grounds that have benefits to obtaining glowing skin?

TH: Genetics play an important part in what your skin is predisposed to look like, but external factors and how well you take care of your skin, which Jennifer is very disciplined and consistent, are cru- cial when it comes to having that healthy, glowing complexion.

AM: How can we achieve glowing skin for our red carpet moments?

TH: Good skin is not achieved overnight or with just one treatment. Using products that help tone and brighten the skin (such as Biomagic Mask and Le Grand Serum) are always important before a red carpet event as well as a lifting facial treatment, but consistency and discipline are key.

AM: In terms of aftercare, what products do you suggest after using this machine?

TH: A prescribed home care regimen tai- lored to your skin is very important. A good gentle cleanser, Lotion P50, serums, a masque, moisturizer, and sunscreen should be everyone’s go-to daily products.
