From The Editor

As estheticians, we know that what we put on our skin is only part of the equation—what we put into our bodies plays just as crucial a role in achieving a radiant, healthy complexion. This month, we’re diving deep into nutritional skincare, spotlighting products packed with skin-loving vitamins and supplements designed to support the skin barrier, combat oxidative stress, and promote overall glow. 

In our feature You Are What You Eat, esthetician Mariah Anderson shares her expertise on the gut-skin connection—a topic that continues to gain momentum in our industry. From probiotics to anti-inflammatory foods, she unpacks how internal health reflects externally, offering key insights on how to guide your clients toward a holistic skincare approach. 

We’re also bringing men’s skincare trends into focus, highlighting the innovations shaping the industry this year. Plus, in Buyer Beware, we uncover the counterfeit beauty product crisis—an issue every esthetician and consumer should be aware of to ensure safety, efficacy, and authenticity in their skincare investments. 

As you explore this month’s issue, we hope it inspires you to approach skincare with a more nutrient-focused mindset. The future of beauty is one that blends science, nature, and nutrition—and we’re here to guide the way. 

Best, 

Samantha
