    In this episode, I’m joined by Danielle Gronich and Kayleigh Christina, the co-founders of CLEARSTEM Skincare, to talk about everything from acne myths and skincare scams to gut health and the importance of clean, effective ingredients. Danielle, a licensed clinical esthetician, and Kayleigh, an integrative health practitioner, share their expert insights on managing acne, debunking common skincare misconceptions, and why it’s so important to be mindful of what’s in the products we use. We also discuss the impact of diet on skin health and how they approach both acne and anti-aging without using pore-clogging ingredients.
