What the Heck Is a "Beauty Sandwich" Treatment (and Do I Want One)?

Skin care expert Ivan Pol created a signature treatment called The Beauty Sandwich in 2010 (which was trademarked in 2018). He jokingly refers to it as "gluten-free" and says it's "the non-toxic celebrity red-carpet secret that naturally highlights and improves facial tone without the use of lasers, needles, or chemicals." He created it as a natural, less invasive (and less painful!) alternative to treatments like Botox and fillers.

Stars like Salma Hayek and Cara Delevingne count themselves as fans of the treatment, and Pol is something of a red carpet superstar in his own right (you've likely seen a lot of his handiwork on the red carpet lately). Sounds pretty good, right? The only catch is that treatments start at $850 (and go up to $5,500 for something called #GloNonStop!!)... which is restrictive pricing, to say the least. Still, it's an interesting, innovative type of facial — and it's always fun to live vicariously through our favorite celebs!
