If you’re still settling for the typical spa scrub, it’s time to level up. The Ruby & Diamond Facial is the red-carpet secret celebrities swear by—literally powered by crushed rubies and real diamond dust. This ultra-luxe microdermabrasion treatment delivers a brilliant, camera-ready glow so flawless you can finally ditch the filter.
Crushed rubies and diamonds aren’t just opulent touches—they serve a purpose. Finely milled into a soft, glittering powder, these gemstones work as natural exfoliants, gently buffing away dead skin cells, dry patches, and uneven texture. The diamond particles help refine skin tone and reflect light for an immediate brightening effect, while rubies are rich in minerals that stimulate circulation and cellular regeneration. The result? Skin that looks lit from within—smooth, luminous, and visibly energized.
Mila Kunis was one of the first celebrities to embrace the now-iconic HD Ruby & Diamond Peel, long before luxury facials became red carpet rituals. Well ahead of the curve, she booked the $7,000 treatment in her mid-twenties—before a European tour and again ahead of the Golden Globes—cementing her status as a beauty trailblazer. Long before “glass skin” became part of the pop culture lexicon, Kunis was having her face, neck, décolleté, arms, and hands polished to perfection with crushed rubies and diamonds to ensure every visible inch sparkled under the flashbulbs. Her esthetician, Scott-Vincent Borba, shared that “anything that will be possibly showing with her dress” received the same lavish attention.
Sofia Vergara is also known to rely on diamond-dust facials before red-carpet appearances. According to People Magazine, dermatologist Dr. Dendy Engelman uses real diamond dust in microdermabrasion treatments to give Sofia’s skin its famously radiant glow. The hour-long session focuses on exfoliating and polishing the skin’s surface with extreme precision, leaving her face lifted, smoothed, and absolutely gleaming.
Several elite spas now offer these red-carpet treatments to clients who seek more than just hydration and relaxation. The Spa at The Beverly Wilshire, a Four Seasons Resort in Beverly Hills, is renowned for its “Red Carpet Sparkle” and “Celestial Black Diamond Facial” experiences. These facials incorporate diamond-dust microdermabrasion with oxygen infusion, LED light therapy, and microcurrent lifts—popular among Hollywood’s elite for their immediate tightening and illuminating effects.
Tracie Martyn Skin Care Salon in New York City has become a go-to for celebrity-beauty insiders like Kate Winslet, Julia Roberts, and Rihanna. Her signature Red Carpet Facial features crystal-free diamond tip microdermabrasion, Ruby Ray light therapy, and Resculptor microcurrent sculpting tools. The entire experience is designed to lift, smooth, and energize skin without any downtime—ideal for those stepping straight into makeup and the spotlight.
Unlike harsher chemical peels or lasers, ruby-and-diamond facials provide high-impact results without irritation. The blend of physical exfoliation from gemstones and high-tech tools offers immediate clarity, smoother texture, and radiant bounce. It’s no wonder that A-listers trust these treatments before premieres and photo calls—they deliver red-carpet skin without the need for retouching.
For the discerning few willing to invest in the glow of a lifetime, crushed rubies and diamonds are more than sparkle—they’re strategy.
