On today's episode, we have on skin positivity influencer, Alexi McKinley and host of the UnPerfect with Alexi Mckinley podcast. Alexi has been managing a life with acne for 15 years now until one day it just got so much worse. Alexi started to deal with painful cystic acne, posted a video about it and after that day her life changed forever with over 200,000 new followers in 48 hours. Since that post she has been a light, friend, and spokesperson for anyone else out there dealing with acne and learning to love themselves and their skin.

So in today’s episode, we are covering her skin story and peeling back the layers to uncover the emotional toll, skin care myths, and resistance of beauty standards and finding self love in the mix. We also will cover Alexi's top tips to healing cystic acne.
