Glow Up, Austin: My Favorite Local Skincare Gems

I’m back with my favorite local spots, and today it’s all about skincare studios. I’ve checked out my fair share of new places, but when you find a goodie, you stick with it—especially when it comes to your skin!

I know this can be an investment, and I’m all for saving money, but for your sake, please never use a Groupon for your skincare (speaking from experience). Here are my top four local skincare businesses that keep me glowing.

Calm Skincare Studio: The Oasis of Radiance 🌿

Meet Calm Skincare Studio and the fabulous owner, Rita Marroquin. Her passion for wellness, clean products, and good skincare makes this a magical experience. My go-to treatments? The Hydrafacial for that instant glow and the Gua Sha for a soothing, sculpting experience (if you’re new to skincare, the Gua Sha treatment is a GREAT place to start.) Trust me, you'll leave feeling like a radiant goddess.

If you're in the market for top-notch products, snag my favorites: Brand New Day Microderma Scrub & Masque from One Love Organics and the sunscreen from Keys. For the beauty enthusiasts, Calm now offers LED face masks!

Hot Tip: book your appointment at the end of your day so you can go home without adding makeup or products to your fresh skin!

Laurel Corrinne Studio: Elegance in Every Glow 🌸

For those who crave relaxation and elegance, Laurel Corrinne Studio is your sanctuary. Walk into this private studio with soothing French music in the background, and when your appointment begins, you’ll be greeted by the glowy goddess, Laurel Corrinne. Adorned in white, she almost makes me want to ditch the all-black outfits… I said almost!

Laurel Corrinne crafts personalized plans for each client, ensuring you look naturally beautiful and feel confident. My personal faves? The dermaplaning treatment for that ultra-smooth skin! If you have ANY event in your near future, you need to get the sunless body blend for a stunning, natural-looking tan.

Nood: Smooth Appointment, Smooth Skin 🔥

Though I'm a laser girlie at heart, when I need a wax, Nood is my spot. Their booking platform is a dream—easy to use, with late hours perfect for busy schedules. The setting is comfortable and clean, making the whole experience as smooth as your soon-to-be skin.

Hallyu Cosmetics: K-Beauty Shopping 💖

Looking for the latest in K-beauty trends? Head over to Hallyu Cosmetics for an amazing selection of Korean skincare products. You’ll find everything from sheet masks to serums that cater to all your skincare needs. It’s a one-stop-shop for achieving that coveted glass skin look.

Favorite Products: COSRX Acne Pimple Patches and hydrogel eye patches

Get that gorgeous skin, and check out these amazing spots. Remember, supporting local isn’t just good for the community; it’s great for your glow.

Stay cool Austin!

XOXO, America
