Summary

Hey, Heal Squad! We’re back with Part 2 of our deep dive into all things skin with the one and only Dr. Sandra Lee (aka Dr. Pimple Popper) and this one is for everyone who’s ever stared at a mirror wondering: Should I pop this? Dr. Lee answers all your burning skincare questions, starting with Accutane: does it still work, who should take it, and what you need to know before considering it. She also breaks down the safest way to pop a pimple (yes, there is one!) and what to never touch on your own. From blackheads, cysts, and backne to ingrown hairs and extractions, Dr. Pimple Popper explains what’s really going on under your skin , and the smart, dermatologist-approved ways to handle it. She even shares the tools and tricks she personally recommends for gentle, effective care. If you've ever wanted a masterclass in healthy skin, this is your guide for healing your skin the right way! HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  There’s a right way to pop a pimple. Dr. Lee shares her dermatologist-approved method for safe extractions, including when to pop, when to stop, and how to keep your skin calm afterward. Not every bump is a breakout. From cysts to ingrown hairs and “backne,” Dr. Lee helps us understand what’s really happening under the skin, and how to tell if it’s something that needs a doctor’s attention. Less picking, more patience. She breaks down the do’s and don’ts of extractions, reminding us that prevention, not pressure, is the key to clear, scar-free skin. -- HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Heal Squad Website:https://www.healsquad.com/ Heal Squad x Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/HealSquad/membership Maria Menounos Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com My Curated Macy’s Page: Shop My Macy’s Storefront EMR-Tek Red Light: https://emr-tek.com/discount/Maria30 for 30% off Airbnb: https://www.airbnb.com/  Briotech: https://shopbriotech.com/ Use Code: HEALSQUAD for 20% off  Join In-Person Heal Retreat Waitlist! https://mariamenounos.myflodesk.com/heal-retreat-waitlist GUEST RESOURCES:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drpimplepopper/?hl=en  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgrsF4TYwmrV0QsXb8AoeHQ  Website: https://drpimplepopper.com/  SLMD Skincare: https://slmdskincare.com/  Show: https://www.mylifetime.com/shows/dr-pimple-popper-breaking-out  ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos’ passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.
