Dealing with my acne-prone skin; Holy Grail skincare products and my mindset

Episode 46

It’s taken me a long time to accept that my skin has issues. That’s probably not the same as saying I accept my skin, but hey. If someone had told me as a teenager that those breakouts would follow me for the REST OF MY LIFE I might have wanted to scream. Also, it might have been useful to learn skin acceptance a long time ago, because working in beauty journalism probably *hasn't* been the most healthy environment...

In this episode I share the products that help me get through the breakouts, what I use when I’m having a better skin day, and why, ultimately, it has to come down to my mindset. You can also watch this episode over on YouTube here.
