Inside Cassandra Grey’s Skin Care Routine
The aesthetician Melanie Grant knows how to conjure good skin, and it starts with a carefully orchestrated product lineup. Here is her fine-tuned prescription for VIOLET GREY’s founder, from morning cleanser to pre-party mask to cocooning night cream.
The quickest way to get compliment-worthy skin is a treatment with Melanie Grant, the London-based aesthetician who just opened a New York studio above VIOLET GREY. (Look no further than her in-the-know clients, including Victoria Beckham, Dua Lipa, and more than a few Close Friends of Violet.) But to maximize those glowing results, you need a dialed-in skin care strategy—and this is why face time with Grant is gold. She knows the best formulas like the back of her hand and understands how to build a bespoke regimen. Here is the annotated routine she crafted for Cassandra Grey: a lineup of all-stars featured in the Melanie Grant Edit, which just landed on THE SHELVES.
