Meet Ole Henriksen

Allure Magazine, in an article on Ole Henriksen, proclaimed that he was sent from “Skin Care Heaven.”

Indeed, Ole’s passion is skin care, which he has practiced for many decades at his famous spa Ole Henriksen Face/Body in Los Angeles. Here, in a chic, but extremely warm environment, Ole and his talented staff work their “magic” on some of the world’s most famous faces.

Ole Henriksen (pronounced ooh-la) left his tiny village, Nibe, in Denmark to pursue his love for travel and adventure in his late teens. While in Indonesia, he began experiencing cystic acne and found solace in natural treatments. His passion for skin care began and three decades later, he still takes great pride in the healing powers of skin and nature.

After obtaining a degree in cosmetic chemistry in London, Ole entered the LA skin care scene in 1975 where he quickly gained notoriety among the Hollywood elite with his remarkably effective complexion treatments which incorporate potent natural extracts with state of the art equipment at the OLEHENRIKSEN FACE/BODY Spa on Sunset Blvd. in West Hollywood. The spa’s clients have included Renee Zellweger, Jessica Alba, Cher, Prince, Kylie Minogue, Hugh Jackman, Ellen Degeneres, Eva Mendes, Linda Evangelista, Mark Wahlberg, Charlize Theron and many more.

In 1999, Ole made his skin care line available to the retail market, domestically and internationally, at a reasonable price so all could indulge in the effective products Hollywood A-listers have relied on for years. Now, Ole Henriksen products are sold worldwide in the most prominent department stores and specialty cosmetic boutiques. His products are also used in treatments in over 300 spas & clinics globally and have achieved international acclaim from organizations like the Gala Spa Awards in Germany where his line was voted as one of the top brands out of 250 other skincare brands! The Ole Henriksen skincare line is also a two-time winner of the Harpers Bazaar Beauty Hall of Fame and the innovative micro/mini peel system was recently awarded the "Best New Luxury Product" at the New Woman Awards in London. The passion, energy and enthusiasm Ole brings to his brand and the skincare industry makes him a favorite among celebs, media and customers alike.

In his own words:
"My studies in cosmetic chemistry and experience from treating skin, hands on, has given me a clear idea as to the function and content of each product I have developed. This has resulted in a series of pure, natural, high-performance products that are forever evolving through my continued research.

As a skin care expert, I take great pride and joy in helping people on the road to great skin. An ideal complexion is a skin canvas that looks radiant in bright daylight, unassisted by make-up. Great skin is smooth and even-textured with perfect moisture balance, taut clean pores and good elasticity. Yes, expression lines are beautiful as a personmatures in years!"

Ole Henriksen “Its all about the heart, soul, the human touch and keeping it simple”
