Episode 257 – Acne, Beyond the Surface of Our Skin

In this episode of the modern woman’s podcast, Elizma, Danielle, and Nicole dive into the facets of acne, history of topical insight, and the realisation that it is much further than just the surface of our skin that is involved. They take a look at medications, and hormonal systems of the body to breakdown possible causes that you may not have known were possible. We hope you enjoy the knowledge bombs!
