Struggling with adult acne and the hit it’s taking on your confidence? You’re so not alone.

In this episode of The Clear Skin Chronicles, Katie and Cris unpack why acne is a messenger—not the enemy—and how to decode what your skin is trying to tell you. They walk through The 5 Acne Clearing Pillars and show how these pillars overlap to create a truly holistic path to clear skin.

From gut imbalances and sluggish bile flow to lymphatic stagnation, cortisol spikes, and barrier-wrecking routines, you’ll learn how “inside-out” fixes translate to calmer, clearer skin.

Tips in this episode:

• Treat breakouts as signals from within: investigate stress, gut function, detox pathways, and hormone regulation—not just pores.
• Build the “clear-skin house”: foundation (gut), walls (detox pathways), roof (hormones). Don’t skip straight to hormones.
• Manage cortisol & blood sugar: both can drive sebum production and breakouts—balance meals, stabilize routines, breathe.
• Simplify skincare: pull back on over-exfoliating/actives; rebuild the barrier with niacinamide, squalane, ceramides, aloe, chamomile, hyaluronic acid, and skin-friendly probiotics.

Struggling with acne and confused about what really works? You’ll want to hear these clear skin secrets.  

This episode of The Clear Skin Chronicles with Katie and Cris brings in Danielle, co-founder of ClearStem skincare and the San Diego Acne Clinic, to cut through the noise.

Danielle shares her expertise on why “organic” isn’t always the cure for acne, how pore-clogging ingredients could be sabotaging your skin, and why your usage habits matter more than chasing trends. She dives into listener questions on diet, treatments, and routines, offering practical and personalized approaches to skincare.

If you’re tired of trial-and-error products and want expert clarity on how to truly support your skin, this conversation is for you.

Tips in this episode:

• The effectiveness of organic and natural products for acne isn't as impactful as many expect. It's more crucial to focus on clean, non-comedogenic formulas.

Struggling with acne or unexplained skin issues? In this episode of The Clear Skin Chronicles, Katie and Cris explore how Hair Trace Mineral Analysis (HTMA) can uncover hidden imbalances sabotaging your skin health. Learn how long-term mineral and stress patterns revealed through HTMA go far beyond what blood tests can show—and why this matters for chronic skin conditions like acne.

Katie and Cris break down how HTMA works, how it compares to traditional testing, and why proper interpretation by a trained practitioner is essential. They also dive into connected issues like gut health, food intolerances, and mold exposure that often play a role in persistent skin concerns.

Discover how sex and connection impact your relationships—especially when shame, body image, or parenthood get in the way. 

In this juicy episode of The Clear Skin Chronicles, Katie and Cris get real with celeb sex therapist Vanessa Marin. From navigating mismatched libidos to getting intimate when you're breaking out (yep, acne and all), nothing’s off-limits. They bust taboos, tackle shame, and share laugh-out-loud moments along the way. It’s the kind of honest, feel-good convo that’ll leave you feeling seen, empowered, and ready to turn up the connection in your love life.

🔍 Topics We Dive Into:

• Sex talk = less shame, more satisfaction.
• Gen Z is all about emotional intimacy.
• Pleasure > perfection — acne included.
• Desire doesn’t have to be instant.
• Hugs and gratitude keep the spark alive.
