It’s time to see beauty through <\/span>Vanessa Lee’s<\/a> eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Things We Do<\/a> founder has built a loyal following thanks to her less-is-more approach to aesthetics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With a newly opened West Hollywood, California location joining her three Los Angeles studios and Hawaii outpost, the cosmetic RN and Eastern Face Reader has become a trusted beauty expert for clients including\u00a0<\/span>Khlo\u00e9,\u00a0<\/span>Kourtney, and\u00a0<\/span>Kim Kardashian,\u00a0<\/span>Jessica Alba,\u00a0<\/span>Gabrielle Union, and\u00a0<\/span>Kate Hudson.<\/span><\/p>\n

And if there’s one piece of advice she’d give beauty lovers right now, it’s simple: think twice before rushing into cosmetic surgery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Stop messing with your eyes. We have seen celebrities that have access to the best and most expensive surgeons get work done and it really changes the essence of the face. If you are in your 50s and need to remove excess skin, that is one thing but getting an upper bleph in your 30s and 40s and altering the shape of your eye completely may leave you with regrets in a couple of years,” she tells ET.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of chasing dramatic transformations, Lee recommends enhancing what you already have.<\/span><\/p>\n

One treatment she’s especially excited about?<\/span><\/p>\n

“The BioGlow treatment, where we combine Sculptra under the hairline with PRFM under the eyes and shadows around the mouth in one treatment is hot right now and completely worth the hype. The results are undeniable,” she notes.<\/span><\/p>\n

For those looking for an added lift and rejuvenation, Lee points to options that deliver subtle effects while supporting long-term skin health.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The Things We Do has very rigorous, Korean-influenced training for threads for subtle lifting and collagen building,” she explains.<\/span><\/p>\n

And her recommendations don’t stop at the face.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We’re seeing a lot of requests for Onda Pro body tightening this summer for skin tightening and contouring.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, maintaining great skin starts long before your next appointment.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Everyone needs a sunscreen stick or brush-on in their bag. You are not reapplying enough, and it shows at your fall appointments. I like the brush-on from Colorescience and my favorite drug-store brand sunscreen stick is from Sun Bum, SPF 40. It glides on smoothly, doesn’t leave a greasy residue, and it feels very refreshing on the skin.”<\/span><\/p>\n

She also swears that some of the best beauty secrets can be found right in your kitchen.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I love jujube and longan tea for reducing inflammation and building iron. I have this tea almost daily and it is so delicious. Sardines are having a moment, which is awesome, because they are a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are great for both health and beauty. I love mine in tomato sauce or with some olive oil and crushed red pepper flakes.”<\/span><\/p>\n
