Jordana: Jordana's
outstanding. You must understand who hired her: Drs. Elizabeth Hale and Julie Karen—"Super Doctors" (and sisters)—who run the impressive Upper East Side dermatology center,
CompleteSkinMD. They've been featured in
Vogue. Dr. Karen graduated first in her medical class. So when Dr. Hale brags on Instagram that Jordana is "The best of the best!," take it seriously.
Jordana's incredibly
thorough. From her intense research at home reading about and testing out products to doing the most meticulous extractions we've ever had done, she's so
dedicated. A hard worker with a strong moral code, she's extremely honest and sincerely wants the best for her clients. In our talk about our current skin-care regimen, she approved of some products and said "Ditch these!" about the others. She didn't push for us to buy her office's products either, endorsing select drugstore items to save us money. She's cool too—"Wonderwall" softly played in the background instead of the typical spa music.
Post-facial: If you email her your current skin-care regimen, she'll graciously take the time to email you a customized list of products you should be using for your skin, day and night. (She's great about giving you several options for a cleanser or whatnot.) She welcomes emails from clients, whom she treats like V.I.P.s ("I'm going on vacation! What sunscreen should I get?" "When should I start using a retinol?")
Jordana's practical but a
dream—always going above and beyond.
