Glowing skin doesn’t begin with a trip to the treatment chair. Instead, it starts with consistency, according to <\/span>Dr. Macrene Alexiades<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The MD, PhD and derm-scientist, whose celebrity clientele includes <\/span>Chloe Fineman<\/a>, <\/span>Sienna Miller<\/a>, <\/span>Nicky Hilton<\/a>, <\/span>Brooke Shields<\/a>, and <\/span>Gwyneth Paltrow<\/a>, tells ET that the best skincare secrets come from a science-backed approach.<\/span><\/p>\n

“You need three things: a strong skin barrier, controlled inflammation, and consistent DNA and collagen support,” she explains.<\/span><\/p>\n

“As a scientist, I’ve spent my career studying the biology behind this, and none of it requires a syringe.”<\/span><\/p>\n

While good genes can certainly give you a head start, it’s the regimen you stick to that makes the biggest difference.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Skin is always changing, so your routine has to cover your bases. \u2026 I’m consistent rather than dramatic. Smart habits everyday beats one big gesture a month.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The Harvard University graduate also quick to debunk one of beauty’s biggest myths: that one magic fix is all you need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Skin ages in multiple independent ways at once through laxity, texture, pigmentation, and redness, so no single ingredient is ever the whole answer. \u2026 If a product claims transformation by tomorrow, it\u2019’ either too harsh to be sustainable or doing nothing at all. \u2026 You need a well-rounded formula.”<\/span><\/p>\n

That philosophy is exactly what inspired her to launch <\/span>Macrene Actives<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I built my line around a complex of active ingredients rather than one trendy ingredient. It visibly improves tone, texture and firmness on its own.”<\/span><\/p>\n

And before booking your next med-spa appointment, make sure the basics are already in place.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Patients often want a laser or filler before they\u2019ve even tried topical peptides, barrier repair and daily SPF.”<\/span><\/p>\n

While Fineman has openly shared her past cometic procedures on Instagram, Alexiades believes what you put on your face is what helps deliver longer-lasting effects.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’ve spent much of my career researching energy-based devices, and used correctly, they’re incredible tools,” the author says.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The issue is when they’re compensating for skin that’s never had proper daily support, which means more frequent, more aggressive treatment. … I treat clients’ skin as biology, and their face as a canvas. Good skincare is the foundation and potentiates those results, so you need the laser less often, not more.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Her final tip has less to do with what’s in your beauty cabinet and more to do with what happens after lights out.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Sleep and stress management are underrated because cortisol is not gentle on skin.”<\/span><\/p>\n
