If you’ve already tried clean skincare, supplements, elimination diets, and nothing stuck, this isn’t because you didn’t try hard enough.
Most of the women I work with are doing everything right.
They care deeply about their health, their families, and themselves.
What’s usually missing isn’t effort, it’s context.
Functional medicine changes the conversation by asking why the body is compensating instead of chasing the symptom that shows up on the skin.
This work looks at gut health, inflammation, hormone signaling, and the environment your skin is being asked to heal in.
You’re not broken. You were just given incomplete answers.
If this resonates, DM me “SKIN” and I’ll tell you where I’d start.

Leaky skin is one of the most overlooked reasons adult skin won’t heal.

More products won’t fix a broken barrier, inside or out.

If your skin feels inflamed, sensitive, or stuck in a cycle of breakouts, it may not be “bad skin”, it could be leaky skin, caused by a compromised skin barrier.

Here’s what most people don’t realize: more skincare products and harsh treatments often make leaky skin worse.

Over-cleansing and aggressive actives damage the barrier instead of healing it.

In our latest blog, we break down what leaky skin is, how gut health impacts your skin barrier, and how to heal from the inside out.

Hormones are rarely the root problem

They’re part of a larger system that’s been overlooked.

Most adult skin issues don’t persist because you’re doing nothing.

They persist because you’re treating one piece instead of the whole picture.

When cortisol, estrogen, blood sugar, and gut health aren’t addressed together, skin keeps cycling, temporary improvement, then relapse.

That’s not failure. That’s incomplete support.

✅ Save this if you’re tired of chasing symptoms.

☠️ This is the part of clean beauty no one warns you about.

In this clip, Afshan of talks about why essential oils, despite being natural, may be harmful for hormone health, fertility, and pregnancy.

If you’ve been using essential oils without questioning them, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

☠️ Europe bans over 2,500 cosmetic ingredients.

The U.S. bans just 11

What does that mean for your skincare, hormones, and long-term health?

In this episode of The Functional Aesthetician Podcast, I sit down with Afshan Hussein, environmental health educator and founder of Safe Cosmetics, to expose the truth behind clean beauty, greenwashing, and ingredient loopholes in the beauty industry.

If you’ve ever trusted a product because it was labeled “clean,” “natural,” or “non-toxic,” this episode will change how you read ingredient labels forever.

When skin concerns are chronic or keep returning, I don’t start with skincare products, I look internally.

Acne, rosacea, eczema, and unexplained skin inflammation are often signs of what’s happening in the gut.

This is why functional GI testing is a key part of how I approach persistent skin issues.

By assessing patterns like dysbiosis, inflammation, digestive efficiency, microbiome diversity, and gut barrier integrity, we can move beyond guesswork and build a targeted plan that supports real healing.

Your skin cannot heal in an inflamed internal environment.

I love high-quality skincare, and use it daily.

But when your gut, hormones, or stress response are out of balance, no serum can override what’s happening internally.

This is where functional medicine meets esthetics.

When internal systems are supported, skincare finally starts working with the body instead of fighting against it.

And if your bathroom counter looks like a skincare aisle, you’re definitely not alone.

If you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck, this perspective may be worth considering

Your skin isn’t failing you, it’s communicating.

When your gut is under strain, the skin often becomes the place those imbalances show up.

Breakouts, rosacea, redness, or chronic irritation are not random; they’re signals.

Understanding what the skin is communicating is the first step toward healing.
