Is great skin really about the products you buy — or the discipline, education, and intention behind how you care for yourself?

Maya Allen is a beauty editor, expert, speaker, and brand consultant who has held leadership roles at The Cut, InStyle, Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, and more. With over a decade in the beauty industry, Maya sits at the intersection of clinical skincare, cultural beauty conversations, and real-world results — cutting through trends to focus on what actually works.

In this episode of Give Good Face with Dr. Anthony Rossi, Maya opens up about her own skin journey, including stress-induced breakouts, her viral “bad skin” moment as a beauty editor, and how education — not hype — transformed her relationship with skincare. Together, they explore why skincare is a lifestyle, how diet, sleep, stress, and consistency show up on your face, and why dermatology should always outweigh TikTok trends.

From lasers and microcurrent facials to retinol myths, melanin-rich skin safety, and the importance of diversity in beauty R&D, this conversation blends clinical insight with lived experience. Maya also shares why skincare is an investment, how to spot gimmicks, and what it truly means to “give good face” in every season of life.
