Skincare De La Heart

With there being so many beauty products on the market these days it is hard to know what to try.

Finally, you use, basically, a massage tool with oil all over your body. I mean, who doesn’t want a full body massage?! I have only tried De La Heart’s kit a few times now, but I can say my skin feels softer and happier after the process. But don’t take it from me, we spoke to the pro herself, owner of De La Heart Giordana Vogel, to break down the lymphatic drainage process, all the nuances, and tell us a bit more about her business.
