Your skin speaks first, before the outfit, makeup, and even hairstyle. It’s the canvas every look is built on, and its clarity and health often dictate how we feel stepping out the door. There’s no denying it: great skin is always in style.
Dr. Megan Glaser, owner of Luxebody Wellness, acupuncture physician and licensed esthetician, understands the deep connection between outer beauty and inner health. “Your skin is the first thing people notice, whether you’re in a professional or social setting. It’s not just about your face but your whole body. Skin is the largest organ, reflecting what’s happening inside,” she shared.
That philosophy is central to Dr. Glaser’s practice, where skincare isn’t about trends but balance. Many people, she explains, make the mistake of doing too much or nothing at all. “Either they’re not doing anything, they’re using the wrong products, or they’re overdoing it,” she said. “People will layer on product after product because they saw it online, but if it’s not right for your skin, you could be doing more harm than good.”
So, what does a balanced routine look like? For those just starting their skin journey, keep it simple. Start with a cleanser tailored to your skin type. Next, a hydrating serum like hyaluronic acid, and end with a moisturizer. From there, you can build based on age, skin concerns, and goals. “Once you’ve got those basics down and are consistent twice a day, then you can think about adding things like vitamin C serums or eye creams,” Glaser explained.
Beyond the products, diet, hydration, and even mental health play a role in skin health. “What’s happening on your skin is often a mirror of what’s happening inside,” she said. “If you see acne or rashes, I look at the gut. If you’re dry and flaky, maybe you’re dehydrated. Sometimes people are shocked when their lines and wrinkles improve just by drinking more water.”
Rather than treating skin concerns in isolation, it’s important to consider how internal health, stress levels, and lifestyle choices may be contributing factors. This can shape the way each treatment is tailored, focusing not just on outward appearance but also on supporting long-term skin health from within.
Some techniques combine traditional facial practices with noninvasive methods that stimulate the body’s natural functions. Treatments may incorporate tools like radio frequency to promote firmness or collagen-based serums to encourage cellular renewal, which is a less aggressive approach in the cosmetic industry. The goal should always be the same: supporting the skin’s ability to restore balance and radiance over time.
With skincare trends constantly cycling on social media, it’s essential to research and resist the temptation to DIY. “There are so many people buying dermaplaning tools online or trying peels at home. It’s risky,” she warns. “If you don’t know what you’re doing, you can cause damage, especially with strong acids or chemical peels.”
Think of skincare as an extension of wellness. “True beauty starts from within,” Glaser said. “That includes what you eat, how you care for your body, and even your mental health. When those things are in balance, your skin will reflect that.”
In a world saturated with quick fixes and filters, there’s a growing shift toward prioritizing long-term skin health over instant results. It’s a reminder that true style isn’t just about what you wear—it’s about how you carry yourself. Nothing elevates confidence quite like skin that feels balanced and healthy.
