15 minutes with Ole Henriksen

Ole Henriksen is one of LA’s most sought after skin consultants and following on from the success of his Sunset Boulevard spa business, Ole created a range of skincare products that he says are solutions to every major skin problem, and are tried and tested to deliver maximum results to the skin.  Here at Bath & Unwind HQ we can indeed vouch for the effectiveness of his products and the positive feedback they seem to encourage amongst our followers. So you can imagine how excited and honoured I was to be invited to catch up with Ole himself and ask him a few of my burning questions…

Emily Davies: If you could recommend just one product from the Ole Henriksen range – as a must have product that can be used on any skin type what would it be?

Ole Henriksen: Truth Serum Collagen Booster is a must for every woman and man regardless of their skin type and age bracket. It makes you elevate your skin to the very best it can be. With this formulation, you will see an instant awakening of your skin upon your first application in the morning – literally giving you skin an air-brushed appearance.

A lot of my friends seem to be suffering from adult acne, where they didn’t suffer as teenagers. What is the explanation for this?

Adult acne is strictly lifestyle inflicted. Improper eating habits like consumption of various junk foods, including fast foods, excessive alcohol consumption, drugs, including cigarette smoking, and excessive intake of refined sugar are huge contributing factors of adult acne. After months of making poor choices, the skin responds by forming cystic eruptions. When faced with this problem, I recommend that my clients go back to following clean, simple and wholesome eating habits. Favourite products for adult acne include: Aloe Vera Deep Cleanser, Pick Me Up Face Mist and Roll on Blemish Attack.

At what age would you suggest to start using products especially designed for ageing? Can you start too early?

You can never start an anti-ageing treatment too soon because the extracts that are specifically incorporated to address concerns like wrinkle formation and loss of muscle tone can only provide benefits to the skin and not cause harm. So, anti-ageing treatments are really an investment into your skin’s future. The Truth Revealed Super Crème SPF 15 is an example of a multi-tasking day-crème that does it all, including amazing anti-aging benefits.

And finally, we are all dying to know which Hollywood stars use your products, can you reveal any?
