The Skin Detox Myth: What Actually Causes Acne & When Detoxification Can Help Clear Your Skin
Skin issues and detoxification are often talked about hand-in-hand — especially when it comes to acne. But does breaking out actually mean your body is overloaded with toxins or that you need to detox? In this episode, I'm breaking down the real connection between your skin and your body's detoxification systems, why skin issues don't automatically point to a detox problem, and what could actually be driving them instead. I also share how I approach chronic skin concerns with my own clients to understand what's happening beneath the surface and determine what their skin actually needs.
