This week, Britt chats with Caralyn from Skin Theory. She is a Holistic Nutritionist (RHNP) and Acne Expert that empowers her clients to clear acne by listening to their bodies and making tweaks to their lifestyle, skincare routine, supplement regime, mindset, and nutrition rituals. 

In this episode, Britt and Caralyn chat all about acne. From the common conventional approaches, to a root cause approach and what that looks like. Caralyn has been through and tried it all, but really found success when digging to the root cause of her acne and approaching it more holistically.
