🍂 Glow Talks November: Real Skin Season — The Glow Behind the Filter
As the holidays roll in, our feeds light up with flawless selfies, perfectly edited skin, and “effortless” glow. But behind every filter is a real person — and real skin that feels every bit of stress, cold air, and holiday chaos.
This November, I want to celebrate something different: the beauty of real skin. Skin that’s healing, evolving, glowing because it’s cared for — not covered up.
💫
Let’s Talk About Skin Energy
Your skin doesn’t just reflect what products you use — it mirrors how you live, how you rest, and how you feel. When you’re stressed, your skin knows. When you’re balanced, your glow shows up before your makeup does.
As a Denver esthetician with over 16 years in the skincare world, I’ve seen one truth stay constant: your emotions and your skin are deeply connected. That’s why November is the perfect time to slow down, reset, and care for both.

What’s Really Dulling Your Glow
Even if you’re following your routine religiously, you might notice your skin looks tired this time of year. Here’s why:
Dry indoor air + cold winds = barrier breakdown and dehydration.
Stress + lack of sleep = increased cortisol, inflammation, and dullness.
Too many actives = skin fatigue (yes, you can overdo it).
The fix isn’t another harsh peel or viral product. It’s getting back to the basics of balance and barrier repair.

My Esthetician-Approved Ritual for Real Skin Season
Here’s how to keep your skin glowing — no filter required:
Rebuild your barrier. Swap out stripping cleansers for something hydrating. I love Epicutis Lipid Serum for deep nourishment without heaviness.
Sleep like it’s your job. Skin heals overnight — prioritize rest like your glow depends on it (because it does).
Add an antioxidant. Vitamin C or growth factors (like AnteAGE Serum) keep your skin bright and protected from stress and pollution.
Hydrate, then hydrate again. Layer moisture — mist, serum, cream, SPF — especially if you’re in dry Colorado air.
Pro tip: book a Microneedle Glow Reset or Hydrating Barrier Facial at Face to Face Skincare this month to jump-start your glow before the holidays.

Confidence Looks Better Than Any Filter
It’s easy to get caught up in comparison season — but your skin doesn’t need to be perfect to be beautiful. At Face to Face Skincare, I believe in celebrating progress over perfection. Whether you’re clearing acne, rebuilding your barrier, or just learning how to care for your skin again, you deserve to feel proud of where you’re at.
Real skin tells a story — and that story deserves the spotlight.
🌙 A Note from Megan
This season always reminds me how important it is to slow down and care for ourselves — not just our skin, but our whole selves. Between running a business, being a mom, and getting ready for the holidays, it’s easy to put ourselves last. But when you take time to care for your skin, you’re also reminding yourself that you’re worth the effort, too.
So this November, light a candle, put on your favorite playlist, and take a few minutes each day to check in with you. Your skin (and your soul) will thank you.
