In today's episode we're revisiting acne, particularly adult acne. Acne affects up to 85% of teenagers but can occur in adults in their 20s, 30s, and beyond. Adult acne (medically referred to as Acne tarda) is more common in women than in men, and can be categorized as either persistent acne or late-onset acne. Persistent adult acne is acne that continues or relapses from adolescence to adulthood, while late-onset acne is acne that develops at age 25 or older with no prior history of acne. Adult acne is more associated with inflammation, changes in pigmentation, and scarring compared to acne that occurs in adolescence. The foods we eat, our lifestyle choices, and what we put onto our skin can all have an effect on our skin. These external factors can contribute to clear skin or the development of acne.
Join us in today's episode as we talk about adult acne and why it occurs, factors that contribute to adult acne, plus lifestyle changes and skincare actives that can help promote clear, glowing skin by targeting the underlying causes of acne.

In today's episode, we're talking about exfoliants in skincare. Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the outermost layer of skin to reveal the smoother, more radiant skin underneath. It can be achieved through physical, chemical, or enzymatic means. Physical exfoliants use physical friction to remove dead skin cells, such as a scrub brush or scrubbing beads in a product. Chemical exfoliants use acids to dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells, such as alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs). Enzyme exfoliants use enzymes to break down the bonds between dead skin cells, such as papain from papayas or bromelain from pineapples. Each type of exfoliant has its own benefits and limitations, and it is important to choose the right one for your skin type and concerns.
Join us in today's episode as we discuss the different types of exfoliants, what skin concerns exfoliants can help address, and what our favorite exfoliating skincare products are.

Have you heard of fungal acne before? This week we’re diving in and talking about what this skin condition is and how it differs from “regular” acne. The signs and symptoms of fungal acne can be very similar to acne vulgaris, but there are key features that help differentiate the two conditions from each other. Treating fungal acne requires different medications than acne vulgaris. In some cases failure to respond to conventional acne medications can be a clue that it might not be acne after all and is something else instead, such as fungal acne.
Join us in today’s episode as we talk about what fungal acne is, what causes fungal acne, how it differs from “regular” acne, and how conventional doctors treat fungal acne versus naturopathic doctors.

In today’s episode we’re talking about skincare for acne during pregnancy. Skin can undergo so many changes during pregnancy, ranging from increased sensitivity to dryness, stretch marks, unwanted hair growth, and acne. There are certain active ingredients in skincare that can be really helpful for acne-prone skin, but some of these are not safe to use while pregnant. The Pregnancy Category Rating System is a five letter grading system (A, B, C, D, and X) used to indicate the potential risk of a drug to cause birth defects if it were to be used during pregnancy. Cosmetic ingredients that fall under Category A and B are deemed safe to use during pregnancy, whereas anything that falls under Categories C, D, or X should be avoided.
Join us in today’s episode as we talk about skincare ingredients to avoid and safer alternatives to use for acne-prone skin during pregnancy.

This week in our final episode of season 1 we’ll be talking about hair loss and a naturopathic approach to supporting hair growth. Our hair follicles undergo a repeated cycle consisting of three phases - anagen (growth), catagen (shed), and telogen (shed). It’s normal to lose up to 100 hairs every day, but if more than 200 hairs are falling out every day or you notice large clumps of hair falling out then this would be considered excessive. There are several types of hair loss than one can experience, with androgenic alopecia being the most common.
Join us in today’s episode as we talk abou the different phases of hair growth cycle, what causes hair loss, the different types of hair loss, and how hair loss is diagnosed. We’ll also tlak about different natural therapies that may support hair growth and reduce hair loss/thinning according to the latest research.
