Acne, Pimples, Blackheads and Everything In Between

Let's be clear: Breakouts, acne, blackheads and enlarged pores are 'normal' and having them doesn't define your worth. But if you're interested in learning about what actually causes blemishes and the skincare ingredients you can use to manage them, this episode is for you.

Plus, Michelle has some fun busting A LOT of pimple myths, including whether junk food, chocolate or being 'dirty' causes them. And as always, we give our favourite product recommendations.

The Difference Between Dry and Dehydrated Skin

Even though they sound similar, dry skin and dehydrated skin aren't the same thing. But how do you know if your skin was born dry, or is just perpetually thirsty? Or both?

Michelle explains the difference between these two skincare terms, including what they are, their common signs and how to tell the difference between dryness and dehydration.

Plus, can drinking water actually hydrate your skin? We find out in our Pop Quiz segment. Oh, and we also share the Best in Class products to help manage the signs of dryness and dehydration.
