How do you hope XOMD shifts the way people think about their everyday skincare routines?

Your skincare routine should be an act of self-investment, one that elevates both your skin quality and your psychosocial well-being. A morning routine is a moment of self-love that prepares you emotionally, mentally, and physically to face the world as your most confident self.

The holidays can be stressful. How does emotional wellness influence someone’s overall beauty routine?

During the holidays, stress is nearly inevitable events, expectations, and endless to-dos. When you feel comfortable in your skin, confident in your appearance, and at ease in conversation, you show up more authentically. Emotional wellness becomes the invisible backbone of a strong beauty routine.

What’s ahead for XOMD? Any innovations or research directions you’re excited about for next year?

We have several exciting launches:

•X + O Candle Duo: Jasmine-infused candles shaped in our iconic X and O packaging. The aroma is calming, sensual, and beautifully aligned with our brand ethos.

•“One Night Stand” Kit: Our most requested travel-size kit—unique packaging, patent-pending formulas, and designed for effortless, portable luxury.

•International Expansion: We’re launching in Canada and Europe. Our clean formulations have passed the strict Canadian and EU regulatory standards. We’ll be presenting the science behind XOMD at IMCAS in Paris this January, with plans to continue sharing our discoveries globally.

•The skin–brain axis is only beginning to be understood, and XOMD will remain at the forefront of that research and innovation.

Dr. Dayan’s insight reminded me why I love highlighting people who are creating meaningful change. His perspective on beauty, emotional wellness, and self-assurance adds a new layer of understanding to the way we care for ourselves during this festive time. As we move into a new year, my hope is that you feel inspired to invest in your well-being in ways that uplift both your spirit and your skin. I am grateful for our partnership with XOMD and for the chance to share voices like Dr. Dayan’s with this community. Here is to a season filled with warmth, joy, and a renewed sense of confidence as we step into all that lies ahead.
