Trina Renea, The Facial Bungalow

Tucked away in an intimate WeHo oasis, you'll find one of the most knowledgeable aestheticians in town (not to mention a super-cool chick). And she won't just give you the same old rigamarole of a skin diagnosis, either. This industry vet believes in continual learning as key for her clients — she constantly keeps up with breaking news in the beauty biz (she lunches with chemists, for goodness' sake!).

She also moonlights as the lead medical aesthetician at The Rapaport Dermatology Group in Beverly Hills, is a member of the Society of Cosmetic Chemistry, and trains at UCLA for Cosmetic Chemistry. On top of that, she has tools at her fingertips that are found nowhere else in the entire U.S. of A. We've really never met someone more in-the-know about ingredients, technology, trends, and practical fixes — and it shows in the insane glow her magical touch grants. Book at least three weeks in advance because Trina's beyond in-demand (she has a serious slew of celeb devotees, but we won't kiss and tell, ha!).

The best part? A percentage of all sales from Trina Renea Skincare products are donated to four local non-profits, each with a relevance and meaning to the flawless facade master.
