Celebrity facial masseur Gavin McLeod-Valentine leads us through the face-massage technique he uses to prep clients like Cate Blanchett, Zoe Saldana, Maya Rudolph, and Lourdes Leon for the red carpet. In this episode (our most popular interview of 2023!) He shares the movie-ready story of his life and how he went from actor to publicist to unexpectedly giving Halle Berry an oxygen facial and finding his calling. We also talk about Madonna’s face, buccal-fat removal, cryo-sticks, LED lights, PRP, meditation, and how Augustinus Bader products helped him during his cancer treatment (one of the reasons he works with the brand). We’ll be back with all-new episodes next week!
