Su-Man Hsu
As the youngest of ten siblings raised on a farm in Taiwan, Hsu learned to find beauty in the everyday at a young age.
”We discovered [skin care] secrets under our feet,” she says of a childhood spent splashing leftover green tea onto her face to soothe sunburn and using discarded watermelon skin as toner. Hsu, who is based in London but holds regular residencies at W hotels worldwide and at the Carlyle Hotel in New York City, credits her world-renowned touch to time spent studying shiatsu, which gave rise to a facial technique that has been dubbed the “Su-Man Skin Reborn Sculpting Facial” by her devoted clientele. After a bespoke analysis, Hsu cleanses, extracts, and tones the complexion with her own self-titled line of products, which launched last year, before delivering moisturizing ingredients into the skin with a signature massage protocol that is repeated 36 times—a reference to the ancient Chinese belief that the number six is lucky and helps invoke “a perfect state of health and happiness.”
