If you are dealing with frequent acne breakouts chances are you have heard of Isotretinoin, commonly known as Accutane, Roaccutane, or Epuris.

With countless anti-acne avenues, it can be extremely difficult to choose what’s right for you and your skin. Accutane is typically an avenue of last resort. You have likely already tried every external lotion and potion, various rounds of antibiotics, and the birth control pill (for my gal pals out there) without much progress. The purpose of this article is to help you cut through the noise and empower you to make the best decision for you. And introduce an Accutane alternative, one that might be the right fit for you, a holistic acne therapy.

Are you waking up in the middle of the night? Perhaps, consistently between 2-4 a.m.? Are you experiencing acne and other inflammatory skin conditions? Are you constipated and having trouble with maintaining consistent bowel movements? Are you experiencing irregular periods and other hormonal imbalances? Have you recently come off the birth control pill?

Hormonal acne is common in our adolescence but also years later - especially when coming off of hormonal birth control. Hormonal acne can also be harder to heal because until we address the hormone component, many different approaches may not work.

You’ll love this episode if you’ve been seeking out solutions (and are tired of being to just go back on birth control to “fix” your acne…)

It’s time to come clean: we have all at one time or another popped a pimple. In fact, it used to be the norm to encourage picking and popping pimples as a means of getting the infection out. But it turns out that all that poking, prodding, squeezing, and digging is actually doing a lot more harm than good.

You’ve tried everything to clear your acne. You have done the restrictive diet, cut out the common acne triggers like gluten, dairy, and sugar, and piled on the products until all you’re left with is frustration and disappointing results. What went wrong?

Chances are that chronic acne isn’t caused or triggered by just one thing. It’s more likely to be a combination of such factors as diet, sleep, stress, toxin exposure, pore-clogging skincare, and internal imbalances, which is likely why specific food eliminations might not be producing the results you hoped for. Chronic acne is typically multi-faceted, making a holistic approach that includes healthy diet and lifestyle choices the best way to promote healing.

The other problem with eliminating this or that food is that we often overlook all the skin-boosting foods we can—and should—include in our diets. Flipping the strategy on its head—from restriction to addition—can make a significant difference!

Ever wonder why after a late night you wake up with dark circles, puffiness, new breakouts, and dull and congested skin? Your first reaction might be to blame the few extra glasses of wine or the charcuterie board you indulged in. No problem—it was only a rare treat! But what if you knew the breakouts were from lack of quality sleep? Would you prioritize your sleep more than your currently do?

Do facial products make your skin sting or feel tight and uncomfortable Does your skin seems to be red and irritated or rough and flaky, no matter what you do? Are you dealing with chronic breakouts like acne, periorial dermatitis, eczema, or rosacea?

These are all signs of a damaged skin barrier .

What to do when you’ve tried everything to clear your skin

If you are struggling with chronic acne that persists into your 20s, then give this podcast a listen.

I am SO EXCITED to announce that @iammichellebreau and I recorded a conversation for her podcast @growradio

I am sharing my top skin boosting techniques, tools and foods to promote healing.

In this episode we discuss:

✨The importance of the gut-skin connection
🌿How both what we put ON and IN our bodies makes a difference
🌈Some of the best skin care techniques for acne prone skin
🤷🏼‍♀️What’s Lymph got to do with it? I’m sharing why this often misunderstood component of health has a LOT to do with healthy skin!
💦What you need to know about the fluoride-acne connection.

Chronic acne is a frustrating, uncomfortable, often embarrassing condition that many people struggle with and which can be the result of underlying causes that can be difficult to identify. The usual first steps to beating acne may include using harsh skincare products or even medication to fight against breakouts. When those don’t work acne-sufferers may begin to look at a more holistic approach by cleaning up their skincare routine, diet, and lifestyle. But the real problem may be less elusive than you think. As far-fetched as it may sound, fluoride could be the barrier between you and clear skin.

On today's episode we have Caralyn Hale back on the podcast.

Caralyn is a personal skin wellness coach and acne expert! She has had years of experience trying conventional and non-conventional treatments for acne and she now helps women clear chronic acne through personalized skin healing programs!

Have your breakouts been getting worse since this global pandemic started? .

Chances are these breakouts could be stress related. Stress it the perfect storm for acne.

I am SO EXCITED to announce that @gabby.borgerink and I recorded a conversation to help clear your skin during these stressful times.

We also chatted all things Accutane to provide insight from two gals who have been through it. If you are considering Accutane to help clear your skin, then please TUNE IN. Perhaps your dermatologist appointment got postponed due to COVID and you have time to pause and consider if Accutane is the best next step for you. I am sharing 5 things I wish I knew before starting Accutane.

this chat and I just KNOW you’re going to love it! Seriously. Get out a pen and paper, this was a GOOD ONE. I personally took pages of notes while we chatted and excitedly ordered Squalane oil and a good quality SPF after our chat!

If skin issues have plagued you, take a listen. And as always, if it helps, share the episode with someone you love? Or just share it on your social media! We’re all in this together, and the more we can normalize chats about this kind of healing, the better off we will all be.
