Welcome back to the Happily Hormonal Podcast. In this episode, I have skin coach Sarah Sumic as my guest, and we’re talking about skin, skin health, acne, and hormonal acne.

There’s so much more to this puzzle than just choosing the right face wash and moisturizer, and if you’ve struggled with acne as I have, you know how frustrating and discouraging it can be!

Let’s dive deeper into the true root causes of acne and start to improve skin health from the inside out!

Sara Sumic, MSc, is a molecular biologist and former acne sufferer turned skin coach. Through her online course and 1-on-1 coaching, she has helped thousands of women worldwide bring their skin back to a healthy balance, heal adult acne (without reaching for harsh acne treatments) and slow down skin aging for a lifetime of clear, youthful, and glowing skin.
