I'm joined by Kristen Doutsas, a licensed aesthetician and acne specialist with over 20 years of experience. Kristen and her team at Liberation Acne Clinic have been a crucial part of my journey with healing my adult acne and understanding how to take care of my skin as I age.

In our conversation, we cover everything from the food you should avoid if you're acne-prone, Kristen's thoughts on hormonal birth control, and how she's navigating perimenopause. Most dermatologists and aestheticians gloss over how to nourish your skin from within, but Kristen offers so much wisdom on how to achieve the glowy look you've always dreamed of 一 regardless of your age and genetics.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

• Kristen's struggle with cystic acne in her teens and early twenties

• Misconceptions and myths about acne

• Specific foods and supplements that can trigger symptoms in acne-prone skin

• Kristen's morning and nighttime skincare routine for flawless skin
