Hi poddles, I hope you're well as usual. This week's episode is with the creator of Free the

Pimple Lou Northcoat. Someone actually left a review on the podcast and said I'd absolutely

love to hear from her and I always love it when I get recommendations. So I looked her up and I

thought she was absolutely great. Her page is all about promoting skin positivity and talking

about acne and trying to really get comfortable with the skin that you're in and at the minute

which we talk about a lot. There's so much of this kind of new wave of the way our skin is

supposed to be even I've got like semi obsessed with having completely paul of skin which is sort

of impossible. And so we talk about this and why glowing up in lockdown shouldn't be about

getting that body you think you want or you know looking a different way but actually about coming

to accept the way that you already look. So I really hope you enjoy this episode. We did have a tiny

bit of technical difficulties so right at the end it might be a bit kind of jumbled but hopefully

it's okay and hopefully you won't notice that. I hope you enjoy it and please do rate review and

subscribe. Bye!

So for people who don't know who you are or what you do could you give us a little bit of info on you?

So I am an ex-model that got acne and lost her career. So because of that I decided to create

a hashtag on social media called Free the Pimple. I didn't feel like there was anyone in the media

who was like me suffering with acne so I wanted to change the sphere and show real images of

real skin. What age were you when your acne came on? For me I don't say I don't think I'm

ridiculously late but I think compared to a lot of people I was pretty later. I had really really
