Model-of-the-moment Agyness Deyn is known for her quirky fashion sense, penchant for dating rockers and becoming the new face of Tokyo-based fashion chain Uniqlo. But what people probably don't know is that for the last few months, the mannequin has been plagued by bad skin. Not okay for a woman who makes a living off of her looks.

Her secret weapon? Facials at Ling Skincare in New York City, which is known for lots of extractions and healing through hydration. We heard, through the beauty grapevine, that Agyness was suffering from cleansing too much and over-exfoliation (who wouldn't after all the makeup she has to wear for work?), which made her skin sensitive, dry and prone to breakouts. To get her flawless complexion back, she put herself in Ling's hands for facials, and turns to Pure Squalene Skin Nourisher at home.

Having become addicted to this stuff myself, I can easily see why. Squalene is pure olive oil extract that echoes our skin's natural moisturizer, sebum. Thirsty skin soaks it in after a few minutes, leaving your face (and chest, and hands, and elbows) smoother and more even-toned. So, Agyness and I have something in common. Who knew?

I also LOVE Ling Skin Care. I have been getting facials there for over 2 years and my skin has never looked better. This has helped me greatly as I finally feel comfortable in my own skin!
I also love the Refining Tonic for Dry Skin-- a lifesaver!

LSC has been and will always be my salvation when it comes to having clean/clear/gorgeous skin.

There are tricks that actresses and super models use that keep them looking young and wrinkle free for their close-ups. As a former model I'll share a couple of their insider secrets with you.

For long term smooth, healthy looking skin it's Caracol Cream http://cli.gs/AgeDefyingCaracol If you go to that web site and read about the ingredients in Caracol Cream you'll see why it is in a class by itself when it comes to reducing the appearance of wrinkles and giving the skin an amazingly healthy appearance.

Many of them also use BeautyLift. http://trulyflawlessskin.com/ It is the most potent doctor grade wrinkle erasing system available. Using Beauty Lift can prevent wrinkles as well as significantly reduce the wrinkles you currently have

For cellulite problems they use BodySolution http://cli.gs/BestCelluliteSolution a cellulite toning system that is clinically proven to smooth cellulite and firm in as little as 72 hours.

Ling is by far the best facialist in the city. I don't think I could live without the toner for dry, O2+C, or cell repare. I've never seen my skin glow the way it does since I've begun my Ling regimen!

LING has helped my skin so much over the past 2 years. I cannot live without their Moisturizing Facial Mask. And of course their pore cleansing facials!

Ling skin care saved my skin. I too was suffering from frequent breakouts and dry patches. Just a couple of facials at Ling total changed my skin around and their pure squalane and drying lotion are one of a kind.
