Ever wonder how stress is affecting your skin—and what you can do about it? You're not alone! In today’s episode of The Esthetician Hub, we’re diving into the science of the mind-skin connection and why your mental health might be just as important as your skincare routine.

I’m sharing all the research I've gathered on how stress impacts your skin, including how has an impact on your sebum production, skin barrier, and even your immune system. Plus, I’ll be breaking down cutting-edge concepts like heart rate variability (HRV), the skin microbiome, and the role of sleep in skin health. It’s not just about stress leading to breakouts—there’s so much more happening beneath the surface.

You’ll get practical tips for managing stress, including:

• ​How the brain-skin axis really works and what that means for your skin.

Ever feel like self-care is just another thing on your to-do list, but you’re not even sure where to start? You’re not alone! In this episode of The Esthetician Hub, we’re looking deep into what it truly means to begin a self-care journey, how to make it yours, and why it doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

Joining me is an amazing guest, Laura Shriner—the creator behind the popular Instagram community @HotGirlHealthClub and The After Glow Podcast — as we share our own journeys and all the twists and turns that got us here. We get real about what self-care looks like on a personal level, how it’s evolved for us over the years, and the myths that almost threw us off track. Laura and I open up about the setbacks we’ve faced, the unexpected moments of healing, and the ways we learned to pick ourselves up and try again when our routines just weren’t clicking.

Whether you’re new to self-care or you’re trying to rebuild after a rough patch, this episode is filled with practical, approachable tips on where to start and what to do when things don’t go as planned. We also share some favorite books, apps, and tools that helped us along the way, so you can feel supported as you begin your own path.

Grab a cozy spot and tune in for a conversation that’s as real as it gets about healing, growth, and creating a self-care journey that feels like home. This episode is here to remind you that self-care isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s all about you, where you are, and where you want to go.
