464: How to Have Great Skin for Life: Celebrity Facialist Mimi Luzon on Barrier Repair, Sun Damage, Melasma & Skincare For Each Decade

Mimi Luzon is a world-renowned celebrity facialist and skincare expert who has spent more than four decades treating some of the most recognizable faces in the world, from Victoria’s Secret models to Hollywood actors, royalty, and global celebrities.
In this episode, Mimi shares the foundational principles she believes matter most for achieving healthy, beautiful skin at every age. We discuss the most underrated habits for long-term skin health, how to properly protect and repair your skin barrier, the signs your barrier may already be compromised, and how often you should actually exfoliate.
We also dive into acne, sun damage, neck and eye care, in-flight skincare, facial lymphatic drainage, and the biggest skincare myths she sees spreading on social media. Mimi explains how she prepares clients for major events and photoshoots, what treatments she avoids before important appearances, and the skincare mistakes she sees people making over and over again.
We also discuss how skincare needs evolve through your 20s, 30s, and 40s, her perspective after working with thousands of clients over the course of her career, and why learning to make peace with your skin may be just as important as any product or treatment.
