A previous sufferer of cystic acne, our guest, Amber Rose Johnson, The Skin Whisperer, shares the importance of taking a holistic and all-encompassing approach to skincare that looks at every factor of life that can affect the skin including diet, current beauty products, allergies, sensitivities, and lifestyle. Today, the founder of The Facial Lounge, Amber is an expert esthetician whose 25-plus years of in-depth industry experience are behind every innovative, organic treatment including her signature vegan custom facial.

Amber shares the importance of nutrition for good skin, the best foods to nourish the skin (and the big no-no's to avoid), tips for everyday skincare, the difference between exfoliating and stripping the skin, the best drugstore products to fit any budget, how some treatments can be too much of a good thing, why quality ingredients are essential and how our gut is affected by the products we put on our skin. Plus, she reveals why cold is great for your skin and her magical wands that can help with lymphatic drainage and puffiness.
