Georgia Louise’s career is proof that cold calls work. Inspired by her mother, who worked for a cosmetic surgeon, the aesthetician opened her first studio at the age of 19 in London. After building her clinic into a success, she left it all to move to New York City with her then-husband in 2011. She didn’t know anybody and had no idea how she would continue her work. Louise began calling up aesthetic-equipment companies, offering to help with training, sales, facials — whatever they needed. A few days later, she had her first job: helping a company called Caci, which produces microcurrent machines, repair a device for a VIP client.

“That person was Linda Evangelista, who became my first client and is now one of my best friends,” the 45-year-old founder says. “Linda put me on the map when I first moved to New York, and I became very successful within a short period of time.” After Louise wowed the model with her lifting and sculpting skills, Evangelista began spreading the word to her neighbors and friends, including Gucci Westman, Drew Barrymore, and Anna Wintour. Louise eventually opened her own atelier, gaining regulars like Jennifer Lawrence and Anne Hathaway.

Over the years, as she grappled with her own health struggles and observed the routines of her celebrity clients, she began to realize that internal well-being is just as important — if not more so — than aesthetic treatments. “For me, beauty is about the harmony between your body, skin, and soul,” Louise says. “It’s about feeling beautiful and rested and nourished.” She moved her practice to a more spacious location on the Upper East Side, creating something she calls a “longevity center.” The place is complete with a nutritionist, a nurse practitioner who specializes in facial balancing, lymphatic massage specialists, and a one-of-a-kind hyperbaric chamber. The clinic also offers IV drips, peptide therapy, and, of course, Georgia Louise facials.

Keep reading for a full breakdown of her own holistic beauty routine, the unique reason she became a “bath person,” and how a brow transplant changed her life.

My alarm goes off at 6:30 a.m., but I’m always awake before it. It’s called menopausal life. I do 30 minutes of breath work or a mild meditation. Then I get up and have a full glass of water and some coffee. I grab my two fluffy dogs, Lucy and Leo, and I’ll take them for a walk. It’s such a beautiful way for me to feel grounded. The streets are quiet. It may still be dark outside. Then I roll out my yoga mat and do 20 minutes of home exercise routines. I used to belong to Equinox, but I found it was more stressful for me because of the stress of getting there.

I always give myself ten minutes in the morning for my skin care. It’s nonnegotiable. No one is allowed in, not even the dogs, and it’s ten minutes to myself. I start by spraying the Georgia Louise Rose Water all over my face and body. I don’t typically use cleansers in the morning because I’ve done such a good job the night before. Then I go crazy with all my incredible serums. I’m a believer that you have the important hero products you always have as your staples but you’re allowed to switch it up for the season. At the moment, I’m using three quintessential serums from Biologique Recherche: Progeskin, which is anti-aging; VG Tensil, which is skin-tightening; and Amniotique VG, which is hydrating. I mix them together. Then I use three-to-four pumps of the Georgia Louise Hollywood EGF Serum, which is anti-inflammatory and has all the growth factors to really soften and plump my skin.

I brush my brows because I had an eyebrow transplant. It’s my real hair, and if I don’t groom them, I look like a crazy person. Once all those serums have absorbed a little bit, I go ahead and apply the Biologique Recherche Creme VIP O2 face cream. It’s really brightening and oxygenating. I use the Georgia Louise finishing serum on top to seal everything in. Right now, I’m using Eighth Day tinted SPF.

In the evening, the ten minutes is nonnegotiable too. I cleanse with the Georgia Louise cleansing balm, rinse it off, and do another layer while massaging my face. It feels so nice and relaxing, and I work on any tension, my TMJ, and any fascia release I need to do. I spend the most attention on my jaw.

I cleanse again with the Biologique Recherche VIP O2 cleanser. I really like that it’s creamy and milky. I alternate between the Biologique Recherche Lotion P50 and the Environ retinol. I’ve been using that retinol for 20 years, and it’s the only one I recommend to all my clients. It’s time-released, has antioxidants that give you some protection when you wake up, and doesn’t irritate your skin. I mix it with the Environ Vita-Peptide serum, which is a beautiful one. Then, on the lower part of my face, I use the Biologique Recherche Serum Matriciel Visage, which tightens the skin, so I apply that to my lower face. On top, I apply the Element Eight O2 Growth Factor cream, which is a great oxygenation cream I’m obsessed with. After I’ve done all that, I jump into bed.

A healer once told me I need to submerge myself in water for ten minutes a day to cleanse myself from all my clients. So I’m a bath person and I’m also British, so I love to have an Epsom-salt bath with magnesium. I use the Molton Brown Neon Amber Bath & Shower Gel. When I get out of the bath, I use the Environ Derma-Lac Lotion mixed with the Environ Vitamin A, C & E Body Oil. I apply that all over, even my heels. It really helps with skin laxity and dryness. Then I use the Biologique Recherche Huile Dermotonique — I love oils for my skin.

I’ve been using Hairapy Haircare for hair loss, and I think it’s really working. I like the Densifying shampoo and conditioner. My hair isn’t shedding as much, which has been amazing. I also use the Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector to strengthen.

I don’t wear a lot of makeup because I did my eyebrow transplant, and I have Japanese eyelash extensions using sable hair. I do use the Westman Atelier highlighter and the stick contour in Biscuit. I have thousands of lip glosses, but right now, I’m using the Chantecaille one. Because my eyes are looking good and my skin is clean, I find that, at this age, if I wear foundation or blush, it makes me age more. I don’t want to intimidate people in my practice by coming in like a Chanel makeup-counter lady.

I have Hashimoto’s disease. It’s a thyroid condition where you can lose your eyebrows. So I decided to get my eyebrows tattooed. I did microblading. At first, it was amazing. But within two months, they blurred out. They were beginning to turn purple and gray. I was like, This is awful. Why is this happening? It turns out because I use so much oil on my skin and have slightly combination skin, the oil was pulling the color from the tattoo. It was making it turn gray really quickly and blurring the strokes. I was going to go and have it lasered off, but I thought going through five rounds of laser sounded so extreme. I decided what I was missing was having real brows, so last March, I went to Miami to see Dr. Anthony Bared. He’s one of the pioneers of eyebrow transplants. He took 750 hairs from behind my head, one by one, and planted them into my brows.

I get a lymphatic massage once a week. I do the hyperbaric chamber once a week, and I do IVs when I need them. For example, if I find I’m low on vitamin D, I’ll get a vitamin D IV. And I get 90-minute monthly facials from my team.

I put collagen powder in my coffee. I also take the Omi Hair Growth Peptides capsules. I then take Magtein with vitamin D and magnesium for sleeping. Then I take the Pure Encapsulations DIM Detox because I’m having night sweats as I’m going through menopause. Then I take vitamin C, zinc, and peptides, including two peptides I inject.

I also use estradiol gel and progesterone to manage my hormones. I was suffering from really bad sleep, feeling sluggish, and getting these night sweats I couldn’t figure out. I’m a type 1 diabetic, so I was putting it all down to that. I thought I was tired because I’m a mom with two kids and I work really hard to run a business. I was 43 and didn’t even think about my hormones. Then I went to a doctor friend in Newport Beach, and we ran a blood panel. I got the results back, and they said I was postmenopausal. I was like, How is that even possible? I was in shock because I was like, Oh my God, my ovaries have given up on me. It was a really hard thing to read. I had a consultation with his nurse at the time, who said, “Let’s start with some estradiol gel.” Within two days, it was like a light switch. My night sweats were gone. It’s one of the most important drugs I have to take now.

The National Weather Service expanded a Winter Weather Advisory overnight. The FOX 5 Storm Team is ready to help you track when snow could potentially hit your area.

Where will it snow in Georgia?

What we know:

Despite quiet skies to kick off Sunday morning across Georgia, we’re keeping an eye out for snow and black ice.

That Winter Weather Advisory is now extending farther north and west than originally planned, including areas east of Atlanta, Troup County and LaGrange.

Keep up with the latest by downloading the FREE FOX 5 Storm Team app and following @FOX5StormTeam on X

The advisory remains in effect until 1 p.m., though FOX 5 Storm Team meteorologist Alex Forbes says he expects any precipitation to end by late morning, around 11 a.m.

Our Storm Team says areas within the advisory zone could see anything from scattered flurries to up to one inch of snow before conditions improve. The highest chances for accumulating snow are expected south and east of Atlanta, with cities such as Danielsville, Monroe, Covington, Eatonton, Jackson, and Greenville among those being closely monitored.

At around 5:30 a.m., a FOX 5 Atlanta viewer called the newsroom reporting snow flurries in Jasper County. Snow flurries were confirmed in Locust Grove at around 6 a.m.

If it’s snowing in your area, you can submit photos and pictures to newstipsatlanta@fox.com for a chance to see them live on FOX 5 Atlanta or FOX LOCAL.

Snow chances increase farther south into central Georgia, including Macon and Warner Robins, where slightly higher totals are possible. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for parts of central Georgia, where up to three inches of snow could fall.

In Covington, early morning temperatures hovered around 38 degrees. FOX 5 crews reported no snow reaching the ground before sunrise, though colder air and incoming moisture could allow it to begin falling by mid-morning.

Over in Eatonton, temperatures remained near 40 degrees early Sunday with light rain reported at times. Meteorologists noted that rain falling above the surface could help cool the atmosphere, increasing the chance for snow later in the morning. Snow there was expected to taper off by late morning.

Road conditions across Henry County and along Interstate 75 near Locust Grove remained dry and passable early Sunday, with traffic flowing normally. However, temperatures were dropping, and officials urged drivers to remain cautious as conditions could change quickly.

Is Georgia prepared for snow?

What we know:

Georgia Department of Transportation crews have been preparing for several days and are stationed across the state. GDOT officials say they are concentrating resources in central Georgia, where it’s more likely to see measurable snowfall.

Meteorologists also warned that while skies are expected to clear and sunshine return by the afternoon, temperatures will drop below freezing overnight. That could lead to the formation of black ice on roads and bridges early Monday morning.

Residents are encouraged to stay updated through the FOX 5 Storm Team and to report any snowfall or hazardous conditions as the winter weather system moves through the region.

What you can do:

Here are some things you can still do now to prepare:

• Restock emergency supplies. Check flashlights and batteries, and buy shelf-stable food. Ensure all prescriptions are filled, as ice storms often cause power outages.
• Prepare for communication outages. Internet and cellphone service may fail, particularly in heavily wooded areas prone to storm damage.
• Winterize plumbing. Insulate outdoor pipes and locate the main water shutoff valve. Frozen pipe incidents are most common in January and February.
• Use heaters safely. Inspect generators, fireplaces and space heaters to ensure proper venting. Never run a generator indoors; doing so creates a risk of fatal carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Test detectors. Check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Replace batteries before increasing the use of heaters or fireplaces.
• Check on neighbors. Contact older residents, people with disabilities or those using powered medical equipment to establish an assistance plan.
• Protect animals. Bring pets inside during freezing temperatures. Ensure livestock and outdoor animals have shelter and unfrozen water.
• Pack a car kit. If travel is necessary, keep blankets, chargers, a shovel, snacks and sand or kitty litter for traction in the vehicle.
• Stay informed. Download the FOX 5 Storm Team weather app  and enable notifications for real-time updates.
• Monitor closings. Check the FOX 5 Atlanta closings page for school and business updates. Administrators should verify their registration status to post updates quickly.

Will it snow in North Georgia?

What we know:

Right now, we’re not anticipating much, if any, winter weather activity in North Georgia.

However, remember: Any rain with freezing temperatures could potentially result in black ice by Monday morning. Drive with care.

Snow was confirmed just across the state line in Auburn, Alabama, where flurries were visibly falling early Sunday. FOX 5 meteorologists said that activity could reach parts of west Georgia within about 30 minutes, depending on temperatures and moisture levels.

Snow in Georgia: What’s closed?

What we know:

As of 6 a.m., there have been no church or business closures reported to FOX 5 Atlanta.

What does wintry mix mean?

The backstory:

To help you navigate the forecast, here is a breakdown of the most common winter terms:

• Snowfall: This occurs when the entire atmosphere, from the clouds down to the ground, remains at or below freezing (32°F). Snowflakes are collections of ice crystals that cling together as they fall.
• Graupel (Snow Pellets): Often mistaken for hail or “Dippin’ Dots,” graupel forms when supercooled water droplets coat a snowflake, creating a soft, opaque, and crushable pellet. Unlike hard ice, graupel will easily disintegrate if you touch it.
• Sleet (Ice Pellets): Sleet starts as snow, melts into rain in a warm layer of air aloft, and then refreezes into hard ice pellets before hitting the ground. You’ll know it’s sleet because it bounces when it hits your windshield or the pavement.
• Freezing Rain: This is perhaps the most “sinister” type of weather, according to FOX 5 reporting. It falls as liquid rain but freezes instantly upon contact with surfaces that are at or below freezing. This creates a glaze of ice on trees, power lines, and roads.
• Ice Storm: Per the National Weather Service, an official “Ice Storm” occurs when freezing rain results in at least 1/4 inch of ice accumulation. This is the threshold where significant damage to trees and power lines typically begins.
• Icy Roads: These occur when any form of frozen precipitation—sleet, freezing rain, or melted/refrozen snow—bonds to the pavement. Freezing rain is particularly dangerous because it creates “Black Ice,” a transparent coating that makes the road look merely wet when it is actually a skating rink.
• Snow Flurries vs. Showers: FOX 5 Atlanta defines flurries as light snow falling for short durations with little to no accumulation. Snow showers, however, fall at varying intensities and are more likely to leave a dusting or coating on the ground.

These are not all the terms that may be used today.
