Ep 199- 7 Beauty Trends I’ve Tested That Actually Work for 2026
Mon Feb 02 2026
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how beauty trends move faster than our bodies ever could.
Every week there’s a new ‘miracle’ ingredient, a new routine, a new product we’re told we need. But most of it hasn’t been tested long enough, deeply enough, or lived with in real life.
So today, I want to share something different.
These are seven beauty practices I’ve actually tested, integrated, and kept in my own life—and they’re not about perfection or chasing youth. They’re about cellular health, nervous system balance, and protecting your skin and body for the long run.
We’re going to talk about why NAD is changing the future of skincare, why something as simple as morning sunlight can affect collagen and sleep, how matcha and blueberries protect your skin at a cellular level, and why gut health might be the most underrated beauty tool we have.
This isn’t about hype. It’s about what works—and why.
If you’re tired of trends that promise everything and deliver nothing, this episode is for you. Thanks for listening xx ck
