Influencer Hailey Bieber has moved on from her previous fascination with glazed donut nails, but she hasn't completely abandoned the glazed look. Her latest obsession lies in the glazed skin aesthetic, which involves achieving a dewy and glowing complexion.

This trend gained popularity through Asian beauty influencers who showcased products from K Beauty and J Beauty. It eventually made its way into the American market in early 2022, riding the wave of the "no makeup makeup" vibe, and continues to be in high demand.

Those seeking inspiration for achieving dewy skin, can turn to TikTok or Instagram, where numerous fresh-faced influencers share their skincare routines.

This summer, Bieber is celebrating the first anniversary of her skincare line, Rhode, by embracing the pinnacle of glazeness. She prefers looking like a delectable glazed donut or a dessert saying, "I want someone to want to take a bite out of my skin. I want you to want to bite me, because it looks so delicious that you can't resist."

With such an endorsement, we turned to Sarah Young, a certified physician assistant at luxe River Oaks beauty oasis Nuveau Plastic Surgery & Medical Aesthetics, to discover her recommendations for achieving dewy summer skin using Alastin skincare.

"I am absolutely obsessed with this skincare line because it has dramatically transformed my skin," says Young about Alastin. "It contains a proprietary anti-aging complex called TriHex technology that directly communicates with your skin, instructing it to produce collagen and elastin, thereby rejuvenating your complexion from the inside out."

According to Young, Alastin offers products that not only address smoothing skin texture, erasing fine lines, and brightening pigmented spots but also aid in calming inflammation and eliminating signs of sun damage. Young emphasizes the importance of sunscreen in achieving a dewy look, saying, "You can't look dewy with damaged skin."

Go glazed in the morning

Here is Young's morning skincare routine for achieving a dewy complexion using Alastin products:

1. Start with Alastin Gentle Cleanser, a gel cleanser that effectively cleans the skin without causing dryness.

2. Follow up with Alastin Restorative Skin Complex, which targets fine lines and wrinkles.

3. Apply Alastin HA Immerse Serum to provide both instant and long-term hydration.

4. Use Alastin A-luminate Brightening Serum to tackle skin discoloration.

5. Address fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes with Alastin Restorative Eye Cream.

6. For the neck area, apply Alastin Restorative Neck Complex, which targets crepey skin and discoloration.

7. Finish off with Alastin HydraTint Pro Mineral Tinted Sunscreen, offering reliable sun protection with a subtle hint of tint.

Evening routine

Young's evening routine is quite similar, but she incorporates a retinol product and a nourishing moisturizer:

1. Begin with Alastin Gentle Cleanser, as in the morning routine.

2. Follow with Alastin Restorative Skin Complex.

3. Apply Alastin HA Immerse Serum.

4. Address skin discoloration with Alastin A-luminate Brightening Serum.

5. Treat the delicate eye area with Alastin Restorative Eye Cream.

6. Focus on the neck with Alastin Restorative Neck Complex.

7. Introduce Alastin Retinol 0.5 to your routine, which helps smooth skin texture and improve skin tone.

8. Finish off with Alastin Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer designed to soothe, nourish, and hydrate the skin.

The Swift BLDG is expected to open in late 2026.

A new mixed-use development in the Heights has announced its next round of tenants. Three wellness businesses are coming to The Swift BLDG, Houston developers Radom Capital and Triten Real Estate Partners’ project in the historic Swift & Company Packing Plant that’s located near the Heights Hike & Bike Trail.

They are:

SweatHouz, a contrast therapy studio
Strong Pilates Studio
The Skin Clinic, a Houston-based aesthetics and skincare destination

Scheduled to open in winter 2026, SweatHouz will offer infrared saunas, cold plunges, and other protocols to improve a person’s well-being. The protocols are focused on areas such as athletic recovery, reducing stress, improving circulation, mental health, and longevity. In addition, it will offer a beauty bar equipped with Dyson hot tolls and a beverage station stocked with different waters.

Building on the success of its Katy location that opened last year, Strong Pilates Studio will occupy 2,500 square feet in the Swift BLDG. Using Rowformer and Bikeformer machines, customers have the opportunity to take classes in Strong Body, Strong Loaded, and Strong Pilates-Only. It’s expected to open in the fall.

“Our method blends strength, cardio, and reformer-based training into one, delivering real results in just 45 minutes. This isn’t just Pilates — it’s a new standard for fitness in Houston. And a community that sweats together stays strong,” franchisee Mona Hussein-Zaki said in a statement.

Currently located in M-K-T, the Skin Clinic will more than double its footprint by relocated to the Swift BLDG. The clinic’s services focus on skin health and rejuvenation. It also expected to open in the fall.

“The response from this community has been incredible, and Swift gives us the room to grow into what our patients have been asking for: more space, more services, and the same patient-centered care that got us here." founder Kelli Nwuli said.

All three businesses join previously announced tenants such as Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, premium juice bar Leemoo, Merit Coffee, and Houston Tex-Mex staple Escalante’s.

On track to open to the public in fall 2026, The Swift BLDG will offer more than 30,000 square feet of office space along with 30,000 square feet of restaurant and retail tenants. The two companies previously partnered on M-K-T, the Heights mixed-use development that’s near the Swift project. Radom is known for a number of other Houston developments, including the Montrose Collective and the historic Tower Theater property and its adjacent buildings.
