Try the plant collagen facial at Purity Organic Spa.

This facial will have you ready for your close-up.

Ever covet the (way-before-Botox) flawless skin of Hollywood starlets like Mae West and Lana Turner? We've found an all-natural way to get it at Purity Organic Spa, housed in a discreet Universal City bungalow that once played home to these classic beauties. Owner Carol Zubrin specializes in non-invasive skin care and organic wellness facials, and suggested we try the 75-minute Phyto Collagen Renewal Treatment—one of Purity's most popular—for that silver screen look.

The glamorous details:

  • Take one. The facial starts with a soothing herbal cleanser, followed by gentle exfoliation and extractions. 
  • Action. Zubrin paints on a sheet of freeze-dried plant collagen using a cool liquid mixture of minerals and vitamins. The mask stays on for 25 minutes while Zubrin provides a luxurious hot stone massage for arms and feet.
  • Take two. After peeling off the mask, Zubrin concludes with a Chinese pressure point massage designed for clearing your head...and skin.
  • Lines? Expect to forget yours--we left looking (and feeling) younger, less lined, and more replenished.


    • A star is born.
