In this episode, we talk about acne from a very personal perspective and share both of our journeys through acne, dermatologists, estheticians, skincare products, and medication. We talk about how acne ultimately led both of us into the skincare industry and how our experiences shaped the way we treat and educate our clients today.

We discuss the emotional side of acne, the desperation that often comes with trying to fix your skin, and the difference between breaking out at a young age versus adult acne later in life. We also talk about the Accutane journey, transitioning from the corporate world into skincare, and the big question everyone asks. Is acne internal or external?

We also explain what estheticians go through in school, the safety and sanitation protocols that are heavily taught and why they matter so much, and we talk about our mentors and the knowledge they passed down to us that we now pass on to our clients so they can better manage their skin at home.
