122. Our Skincare Routines Will Never Be The Same ft. Kayleigh Christina, Co-Founder of Clearstem

We are thrilled to be joined by our new friend, Kayleigh Christina, Co-Founder of CLEARSTEM—the acne-focused skincare brand that we cannot shut up about. Kayleigh illuminates the nuance of the comedogenic (aka pore clogging ingredient) scale, gives us an extensive checklist for internal and external health tips when going through an acne breakout, talks PCOS & hormonal acne, and overall becomes our skincare fairy godmother.
