What if your acne was protecting you all along?🦉
I understand acne — not just as a functional dermatology specialist, but as someone who’s lived through it. And over time, I’ve come to see it differently. What if your skin’s sensitivity isn’t something to fight — but something to understand, honor, and heal through? But what if your skin’s sensitivity was never a flaw… what if it’s actually your superpower? 💥
📑Research now shows that acne-prone skin often ages slower — it’s biologically resilient, rich in protective oils, and blessed with longer telomeres (the DNA markers of youth). 🧬
In functional dermatology, we see acne not as something to suppress, but as a signal — your body asking for balance, not punishment. 🪷
When you heal your gut, calm inflammation, and support your hormones, your skin begins to glow with wisdom — not just clarity. 🌟
🕊️Your skin isn’t against you — it’s guiding you home.
