" I started by prepping Daisy's skin with Kiehll's Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque. I applied this mask and left it on her skin for about 8 minutes while she started her hair," says Quynh. "This mask works great for tired skin. I had her rinse it off, then I applied Kiehl's Ultra facial cream SPF 30 to her face. I added Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado to her eye area as well as Kiehl's Butterstick Lip Treatment SPF 25 to her lips." Photo: Getty
