Pure Picks: Dr. Macrene Alexiades

From high-performance skin care to elegant garments, here’s how the dermatologist, scientist and founder of Macrene Actives rings in summer.

“As summer approaches, my schedule in the Hamptons begins to fill up with events hosted at my waterfront Southampton home, and Macrene Actives’ Wainscott spa, as well as invitations to parties and wellness events like the Purist Health Fair,” says Dr. Macrene Alexiades.  “In preparation, I carefully curate my weekend travel bag, selecting key essentials to ensure I’m ready for social engagements from head to toe, dawn to dusk.” Photo: Will Krakes
