Maya Jama reveals red raw face after undergoing skin tightening procedure
MAYA Jama revealed her red raw face today after undergoing a skin tightening procedure.
Presenter Maya, 29, stunned fans as she showed off her taut visage after paying a visit to her dermatologist.
Taking to her Instagram Story, the make-up free star explained how she had just undergone a session of microneedling, which usually costs £300.
The minimally invasive procedure involves a needle which is used to make tiny holes in the top layer of the skin.
Its damage stimulates the patient’s skin healing process, producing more collagen and elastin.
Plugging the Shane Cooper Cinic in South Kensington, London, Maya said, “Hey, so this is immediately after. The numbing cream is wearing off and I’m starting to feel like I’ve got sunburn.
“And, yeah, this is me. Red raw-isha for at least three days. What is it? No sweating, be gentle when I wash my face, no gym. Got some aftercare here.”
The Love Island host’s expression dropped when she noticed some juice on her chin, only to mistake it for a boil.
She fumed, “What the f**k is that?” before laughing, “Oh, it’s a dribble of juice. I thought that was a boil or some s**t that came off my… anyway.”
Maya isn’t alone with her love of microneedling, as Victoria Beckham, Holly Willoughby, Jennifer Aniston and Gwyneth Paltrow have all previously raved about the treatment.
She might be hoping her redness subsides soon, as the ever-busy star has just signed another lucrative brand deal.
The beauty previously became the face of Rimmel London and Dolce and Gabbana and now Maya will launch a range of hair extensions with Beauty Works.
A source said: “Everything Maya touches turns to gold and companies are fighting to work with her. She has signed a six-figure deal with Beauty Works to be the face of their hair extensions for the rest of this year.
“It’s a clever move for Maya. She is very selective about who she works for and they have to make sense for her brand.
“She has her beauty deal with Rimmel and her fashion endorsement with Dolce & Gabbana, which have both banked her huge sums.”
We revealed last summer how Maya had banked her first million thanks to her savvy business deals, which includes her own brand of eye masks.
Speaking about her success, the TV personality admitted she still had to remind herself it was real.
She said: “It’s all just a bit mental. I still have moments where I say, ‘What the hell is going on?’, and pinch myself.”
