As estheticians we need to treat our acne clients from this inside out.

This article offers some guidance into helping your clients skin on the inside and out.

Skin that keeps relapsing is rarely a product issue.

When results don’t last, it’s often because the underlying drivers, gut health, hormone balance, inflammation, or nutrient status, haven’t been addressed.

This is where functional esthetics changes the outcome.

When internal systems and targeted treatments are aligned, skin becomes more predictable, resilient, and easier to support long term.

If you’ve tried to “fix” your hormones and still feel exhausted, inflamed, or off, this is for you.

Hormone imbalance isn’t solved with another reset, cleanse, or supplement.

More often, it’s the result of a body that’s been under-supported for far too long.

When your nervous system feels safe, your blood sugar is stable, and your body is consistently nourished, hormones stop working in survival mode.

You’re not failing!

Your body is responding to what it’s missing.

Winter isn’t just drying out your skin, it’s weakening your skin barrier.

Cold air, low humidity, and the wrong skincare routine can increase dryness, leaving your skin dry, dull, and irritated.

The good news?

Small changes to your winter skincare routine can make a big difference for hydration, sensitivity, and overall skin health.

This week’s blog is full of expert winter skincare tips tailored to your skin type.

If your skin feels sensitive, unpredictable, or inflamed right now, you’re not doing anything wrong.

Winter places extra stress on the skin barrier, and overcorrecting often makes things worse.

Supporting the skin barrier, inside and out, allows the skin to calm, repair, and function properly again.

Sometimes less truly is more.

Skincare can only work as well as the environment your skin is healing in.

When the skin barrier keeps breaking down, despite using gentle products and “doing everything right”, it’s often a sign of internal inflammation.

Gut issues, hormone imbalances, and stress can all prevent the skin from repairing itself fully.

This is why barrier repair sometimes stalls no matter how clean your routine is.

This is also where a functional medicine approach changes the outcome.

Functional testing helps us stop guessing and start identifying what’s actually driving repeated barrier damage.

If you’re a woman in your 30s or 40s doing “all the right things” and still can’t lose weight

THIS conversation is for you!

Weight gain during this phase isn’t about discipline or effort.

It’s often driven by hormone shifts, insulin resistance, and metabolic changes no one prepared you for.

In today’s podcast, we sit down with a functional nutritionist who breaks down why weight loss feels harder during perimenopause, and what actually needs to be addressed.

This isn’t about eating less or pushing harder.
It’s about understanding what your body is responding to.

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.
