Description

262: If you want to get rid of your acne for real, do not miss this episode. Clearstem founders Danielle Gronich and Kayleigh Christina have built more than just a skincare company - they’ve created a community of people dedicated to treating the root cause of acne so it stays away for good. For my listeners thinking about going on Acutane, Spironolactone, or any of the other intense hormone-disrupting acne treatments, please hear out Danielle and Kayleigh first (Alix Earle, they got you). They’re sharing some of their tried-and-true tips for better skin, and the supplements, topicals, and dietary shifts to make it happen. 


Topics Discussed:


→ Why acne is more than skin deep 


→ Foods most closely linked to acne 


→ Top pore clogging agents 


→ Why Spironolactone became the new “it” acne drug - and how to ween yourself off of it 


→ A acne-safe skincare regiment for Alix Earle that will actually work  


→ Acne treatment myths
