Julianne Moore shares rare makeup free selfie while revealing secret to lifted and toned skin
We love it when stars give us a glimpse behind the scenes of how they look SO good on the red carpet. What can I say, we're a nosey bunch over here. Whether it's their exact gym routine or the tools their stylist used for their hair transformations, we want to know. So when Sirens star Julianne Moore took us with her to her pre-red carpet facial appointment, we sat, notebook in hand. The star tagged Fabricio Ormonde in an Instagram Story post before a recent public appearance to promote her new Netflix show as she was makeup-free getting her treatment. In the caption of the post, she jests that Ormonde is 'pulling up' her eyelids complete with an eye-roll emoji. It certainly goes some way to explaining how Moore looks so dang snatched. We've done some digging and here, Moore is getting Ormonde's ultimate 'Signature Glow, Lift & Sculpt' treatment which costs an eye-watering $1200. The focus of the treatment is facial balance, muscle toning, skin tightening, and optimal tone, texture and luminosity. It needs no downtime afterwards as it's non-invasive (basically no needles are involved), which is what makes it the perfect pre-event pick for stars. Ormonde uses a mix of Microcurrent and Ultrasound tech for the toning and sculpting and then Oxylight Ionix LED Light Therapy and Oxygen Infusion for the glow. While it's pricey, the results speak for themselves, Ormonde can be credited for the skin of stars like Nicole Kidman, Dua Lipa, Ayo Edibiri and more. If, like us, you can't make it to Ormonde's New York clinic, the closest thing we can recommend is a session at FaceGym for their Signature Sculpt workout. It doesn't include the LED or Oxygen Infusion, but we've experienced insane sculpted results and it's a tenth of the price (without the flight across the pond) – you're welcome!

Microblading aftercare tips: The worst things you can do during the healing phase
When it comes to in-clinic treatments we all know that there is always aftercare advice to follow, but let's be honest, we can slip up at times. We aren't perfect and sometimes a hot shower after trudging through the city post-appointment is inviting, am I right? Well, as tempting as it feels to toss away your aftercare leaflet, how well you look after your treated area when you leave your appointment is directly linked to how long your treatment lasts and, for skin-specific treatments, how quickly you heal. Summer's an especially tough time to get in-clinic treatments as there are a lot of potential hazards to avoid; with sweaty weather, sun exposure and potential pool dips all at play. Microblading is a treatment that aftercare is intrinsically linked to outcome so we spoke to expert Karen Betts, to reveal her top tips for maintaining perfect brows post-appointment, the worst thing you can do to freshly-microbladed brows and how to avoid aftercare regrets. "Proper aftercare is crucial to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results from microblading," says Betts. The 7–10 days after treatment are the delicate 'healing phase', so here's her tips for getting through that initial phase... 'The most detrimental action is picking or scratching at the brows during the healing phase,' says Betts. 'This can remove pigment, cause patchiness, delay healing, and even risk scarring. Additionally, neglecting aftercare instructions, such as exposing the brows to excessive moisture or sun, can compromise the results.'
