Summary
This episode is brought to you by CLEARSTEM. We’ve got an acne masterclass for you, Glams. CLEARSTEM founders Danielle Gronich and Kayleigh Christina join us to talk about the breakouts that follow you well into adulthood and why the usual “just drink more water” advice isn’t cutting it. Danielle shares what she sees with her clients having started San Diego Acne Clinic, Kayleigh breaks down the surprising food and supplement triggers you may not know about, and together they bust the myths that make acne feel so confusing. They even have a nifty ingredient tracker to help!
We’re also chatting about their BOUNCEBACK Repair Serum, which 250 of our listeners had the opportunity to test through Gloss Angeles Confidential. They explain the gap it fills, who it’s for, and how they created it. You can use GLOSSANGELES for 15% off your order at CLEARSTEM.com.
