Happy Tuesday, PT Fam!
We talk a lot about the types of ingredients or treatment methods that we don't love for optimal skin healing... but what about what we DO love?! This week on Skin Talk Tuesday, Nichola explains the rise of alternatives like mandelic acid and botanical extracts, and why some skin types truly thrive on holistic formulations over traditional acne medications.
Whether you’ve tried everything under the sun or you’re just curious about gentler, barrier-supporting options, this episode will give you practical, expert-backed insight you can start using today.
In This Episode We Discuss:
Common misconceptions about natural or non-prescription acne treatments
Why mandelic acid is becoming the go-to exfoliant for sensitive and acne-prone skin
Whether tea tree oil actually works — and how to use it safely
Why some people respond better to holistic ingredients than benzoyl peroxide or tretinoin
The most underrated acne ingredient our holistic specialist recommends
How to introduce new treatments slowly and strategically for long-term skin healing
Happy Holidays, PT Fam!
Tis the season filled with holiday parties, late nights, and routine disruptions... all of which can start to take a toll on a skin healing journey. In this episode, Nichola shares her skin fairy godmother advice on how to embrace the most wonderful time of year while keeping breakouts at bay and stress levels low.
Nichola and Mary discuss:

If you have been listening for the last few months, then you know Mary has been on a mission to clear her skin by her golden birthday. Well, that time is here and now Nichola shares her professional insight to Mary's journey.
Mary's skin healing journey was also the inspiration for the Acne Spectrum, and why understanding where you fall on it can change everything. You and your skin are unique, and most acne healing advice fails because it assumes everyone's acne is the same. Nichola breaks down what it means to be low, medium, or high levels of acne proneness, and why it matters for achieving true skin freedom.

Whether you have teenagers going through it with their skin or are just looking ahead to understand how to prevent, it remains relevant for all acne-prone people's experience.
