"   Photo: Karin Herzog  The Royal Wedding&amp;#039;s less than two weeks away (ten days, to be exact) and it&amp;#039;s estimated that a billion pairs of eyes will be glued to the bride on the big day\u2014no pressure. So who has the future Queen of England chosen to take care of her face? The answer is Julie Cichocki, the in house MD at Karin Herzog, the company that pioneered the use of oxygen in skincare and holds two global technology patents. Once we find out, we had to ask for details. ELLE: How would you describe Kate Middleton&amp;#039;s skin?Julie Cichocki: It&amp;#039;s young, healthy and glowing with a tendency towards oily, but controlled. ELLE: How did Ms. Middleton come to trust and love the Karin Herzog brand?JC: I understand that Ms. Middleton used our products whilst at University on the recommendation of a friend. Like many of our customers, she used it to control breakouts and calm the skin. When you&amp;#039;re at university, or under 30 and hormones are not settled, and you combine that with stress, skin is often unbalanced and acne is a common problem. That&amp;#039;s also why so many brides can get pimples on their big day! Herzog&amp;#039;s Oxygen Therapy sorts all that out very quickly and so people, including Ms. Middleton, stay loyal to the brand and come back as repeat customers. ELLE: What did you do in the months preceding the wedding to ensure that Ms Middleton&amp;#039;s skin was perfect?JC: We send her the following products: The Oxygen Face Cream, the Mild Scrub, the Vita-A-Kombi 3 Spot Zapper, the Professional Cleanser and the Glycolic Rose Gel. The idea was to lift, brighten and perfect skin&amp;#039;s appearance, to destroy spot causing bacteria and inject a flush of life and vitality. All these products will guarantee her clear bright skin on the big day. ELLE: What other high profile weddings have you taken care of?JC: I was asked by Sir Elton John and David Furnish to set up a spa in their home for the stagette party for Dianna Krall when she married Elvis Costello. I was also asked by Stella McCartney to lead a team of in-house therapists to administer treatments for her pre-wedding celebrations. We were in a private house on the Isle of Bute whilst the wedding preparations were going on. Stella, her close family and friends including Gwyneth Paltrow and Sharleen Spiteri were in attendance having a few days of pre-wedding pampering and fun, before other guests arrived for the big day. The experience was one I will never forget\u2014the flowers and the preparations were exciting and beautiful and the high-profile clients were relaxed, fun and charming. ELLE: Do you have any upcoming product launches?JC: ER (ERASE and RAISE) is launching in The US soon, as is Tone and Tan, our self-tan hydrating body contouring cream. They have power ingredients like Niacinamide and high grade Hyaluronic Acid to fill in lines and wrinkles. We&amp;#039;re very excited! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
