Award season is in full swing! That means swanky soirees, couture gowns, and jaw-dropping jewels. But before any star steps foot on a red carpet, they hit up Hollywood's top skin care gurus for lavish treatments. And while the secret to their complexion perfection clearly pays off (take a look at Gwyneth Paltrow's gorgeous glow!), these special pampering sessions sure do cost a pretty penny! Check out the most luxe spa treatments this year's nominees and attendees will be splurging on.
1. Scott-Vincent Borba's HD Diamond and Ruby $7,000 Facial
Bling, bling! Aesthetician Scott-Vincent Borba (clients include Ashley Green and Annalynne McCord) used his HD Diamond and Ruby Peel on Mila Kunis before last year’s Golden Globe Awards. How does the $7000 facial work? The rubies act as an antioxidant while the diamonds provide a topical sheen when applied to the face, neck, décolleté, arms and hands. Scott-Vincent also used a paraffin silk fiber facial and had Mila suck on an ice cube during the process to decrease puffiness.
2. Kate Somerville’s $3,100 Vaser Shape Body Treatment
While scores of A-listers are lining up for Kate’s famous facial, it is the complexion queen’s new Vaser Shape Body Treatment that has quickly become this award season’s must-have! The non-invasive therapy uses ultrasound waves to warm and reduce fatty tissue in targeted areas, while the lymphatic system drains excess toxins from the body. The 90-minute sessions costs $3,100 for a recommended series of 5 treatments.
3. Sonya Dakar's $1,050 Face and Body Diamond Peel
Where do Gwyneth Paltrow and Sofia Vergara go before a big night? Sonya Dakar’s Skin Clinic in Beverly Hills! The skin care guru offers luxe treatments such as her one-of-a-kind Diamond Peel. Sonya uses crushed diamonds to resurface the skin and exfoliate the outer layers, increasing collagen and elastin formation for a rejuvenated, wrinkle-free surface. The facial costs $350 while the body process can cost upwards of $700!
4. La Prairie Spa $1000 White Caviar Illuminating Facial
The newest way to look like a million bucks? La Prairie Spa’s $1,000 White Caviar Illuminating Facial, which features a cellular peel, caviar eye treatment, and golden caviar infused cream. And if that wasn’t lavish enough, after the 90-minute process the client gets to go home with the Swiss brand’s $1,500 White Caviar Illuminating System!
5. Tracie Martyn $387 Red Carpet Facial
Oscar-darling Kate Winslet always visits Tracie Martyn before braving the bright lights and throng of paparazzi. One of Tracie’s most popular treatments? Her signature $387 Red Carpet Facial, which uses a mild current and LED light to lift and tighten skin. The treatement encourages collagen formation and smoothes fine-lines around the jawline, cheekbones, and eyes.

My biggest beauty splurge is department store skincare. Especially Lancome's Genifque. It's a great product, but as a student, I generally save up for weeks for a bottle :\ Yet, it makes skin super smooth and soft :D

My biggest beauty splurge(s) always go towards my long, blonde locks! Maintaining long, colored hair is very time and money consuming but well worth it. I would do just about anything as far as splurging on products to keep my hair in top condition throughout all seasons!

My biggest beauty splurge is getting microdermabrasions and chemical peels. I love how my skin feels and looks afterwards. It also makes applying makeup easier because my foundation goes on much more smoothly.
