Skin Deep MDs with Dr. Mamina Turegano, Dr. Lindsey Zubritsky and Dr. Jenny Liu

30. The Truth About Beauty Media with Marie Claire’s Editor, Samanta Holender

Listen Later

Glossy headlines, wild PR pitches, and the power to make or break a beauty trend - this week, we’re pulling back the curtain with Samantha Holender, Senior Beauty Editor at Marie Claire.

She’s tested everything, sat through the strangest PR pitches (yes, even the “penis filler revolution”), and seen the glam (and chaos) of beauty press trips firsthand. Samantha joins us to talk about:

  • The most overhyped skincare ingredients (and what actually works)
  • Products she swears by for sensitive skin
  • Trends she would ban forever (dermaplaning, DIY sunscreen & more)
  • The real story behind lavish brand trips
  • What it’s really like being a beauty editor in 2025

    • If you’ve ever wondered who decides which products get hyped, or if beauty journalism can be both fun and honest, this is the episode you don’t want to miss.
