She’s back! Celebrity facialist Shani Darden returns for the third time, and we’re taking you inside her Beverly Hills skincare oasis to find out what really keeps her A-list clientele – including Jessica Alba, Chrissy Teigen and Amanda Seyfried – looking like they might just be aging in reverse. Plus, Shani reveals the exact treatments she does (and avoids) to stay fresh at 50, what she thinks about injectables in 2025, and how she’s reimagining her cult-favorite Retinol Reform.
