A Skin-Whispering Acupuncturist on Changing Your Life, Your Skin, and Your Approach to Stress

What would you do if you were given six months to live? Annee de Mamiel chose not to accept that sentence and, instead, fashioned a new and extraordinary life as an acupuncturist, herbalist, world-famous facialist, and Chinese-medicine specialist. Once an Australian triathlete, then a finance exec, she found her true calling as a skin guru (the waiting list for her facials is years long). Her glow-boosting creams, serums, and potions are made on an organic farm in England, they’re chanted to, meditated over, charged with crystals, and bathed in music; the difference they make in skin is unbelievable. Come for her incredibly inspiring story (and super calming energy);stay for tons of incredible skin tips. (For more, see The Beauty Closet hub.)
