Discretely tucked away in the middle of all the action aboard one of the most glamorous yachts in Cannes, coincidentally 15 feet away from the masses of paparazzi facing the film festival’s red carpet arrivals at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès was a little known best kept secret to many of the festival’s most anticipated A-list guests:  Fatma Shaheen, facialist to the stars and Founder and CEO of the eponymous designer cosmeceuticals clinic and skincare line Skin Design London. 

Fatma Shaheen conveniently popped up her highly sought-after personalized services in a luxurious suite onboard the boat, making it easy for her celebrity clientele to pop in for a &ldquo;quickie&rdquo; little dermalogical &ldquo;tszuj-ing&rdquo;: a skincare priming before these (to never be disclosed) A-listers moved on to their glam squads and stylists to prep them for their red carpet appearances, photo shoots, interviews and events.

As one of the world&rsquo;s leading skin experts, discretion has always been the name of the game when it comes to Shaheen and her clientele, and had she not thrown a luncheon onboard the yacht, you may never have even known that she was in Cannes at the height of the film festival: she hides quietly behind the curtain while watching her clientele shine in front of the cameras.&nbsp; Privacy always come first, and the seemingly infinite list of notable names&nbsp;perpetually knocking at her door in need of their regularly scheduled Fatma fix of dermatologic rejuvenation is demonstrative of her reputation for secrecy. &nbsp;

Whether it be at her London residency at MATCHESFASHION&rsquo;s 5 Carlos Place outpost or at Frieze Los Angeles, her Oscar Red Carpet residency, or be it house calls to her clientele, she is constantly on call for her science-based, high-tech anti-aging services, therapies and products.&nbsp;They certainly came calling during Cannes Film Festival sneaking onto the boat for an hour of escape from the hustle and bustle.

During the Cannes Film Festival, in collaboration with L&#39;Officiel, Shaheen co-hosted a brunch with friend and client Victoria Barbara, who happened to also be venue host.

Holistic in day-to-day lifestyle, the two felt it was fitting to throw a wellness-oriented luncheon to detox festival-going VIP guests midway through the film fest: naturally, many had spent a week going on little sleep rushing from affair to affair into the late hours of the night, taking full-advantage of an overabundance of canap&eacute;s served and champagne flowing at exclusive events including Chopard, &ldquo;The Sound of Prada&rdquo; pop-up, and countless film premiere dinners and after-parties.&nbsp;

Real&nbsp;light food, spa-inspired mocktails, a beautiful sunny day, and of course, the full range of Skin Design London products were just what the doctor - or Skin Designer - ordered for the beautiful guests in attendance&hellip; the complexions of these pretty people can be partially accredited to their sessions with Fatma and of course her magical serums.

By the end of the week it was Shaheen&nbsp;herself who was ready for a little rest, relaxation and rejuvenation: &nbsp;when word quickly spread through the A-list grapevine about her presence in Cannes, per usual&nbsp;her appointments diary maxed out to the point of needing to&nbsp;waitlist clientele (so limited time, only one Fatma. Now, if only she had a clone). Mission accomplished: the best dressed at the festival also served up the best glow.&nbsp;&nbsp;It was time to return to London.

Supermodel Linda Evangelista once famously proclaimed: &ldquo;I don&#39;t get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day.&rdquo;&nbsp; These days the quiet whisper around the A-list world seems to be: &ldquo;I can&rsquo;t go a week without my &lsquo;Fatma facial.&rsquo;&rdquo;
