    70. Purging Part 2: How To Tell If It's Working, Purge Vs. Breakout, The Ideal Purging Timeline, & How To Really Heal After Acne Suppressants

    Happy Tuesday, STT Fam! Estheticians love it and clients hate it. On this week on the podcast, we are back with a part two for our most controversial topic in the acne healing space: purging. We’re breaking down exactly what’s happening in the skin during a purge, why congestion comes to the surface all at once, and how to confidently tell the difference between a true purge and a breakout that’s being triggered by your routine. We also get into the real timeline, how long purging actually lasts, why it can show up in areas you’ve never broken out before, and whether it’s possible to purge more than once. A major focus of this episode is what happens when coming off acne suppressants like spironolactone, birth control, antibiotics, or Accutane. We talk about why these clients often experience a more intense or prolonged purge, think “starving the skin”, how hormones and the skin microbiome play a role, and whether it’s better to come off these treatments slowly or go cold turkey. We also cover the products and ingredients most likely to stimulate a purge, how to know if your routine is actually helping versus hindering your progress, and the big question, is it possible to heal acne without going through a purge at all? And if you’re currently in it, we’ve got you. We walk through a real life POV of being in the middle of a purge, what to do, how to support your skin, signs that things are improving, and how long to stay the course before reassessing. Plus, what we tell our clients when they feel like giving up. Listen to Purging 101: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5jeXB4jqeZWXv1vg2FzmwL?si=yMpeLviSTwmmyTZv4QBdAg

    69. Hormone-Driven Acne: Common Causes, Biggest Misconceptions & How To Clear It With The PT Method

    Happy Tuesday, STT Fam! Mary recently had a flare-up around her chin/jawline area about 7-10 days before her period, which led her to think... is this hormonal? In this episode, Nichola breaks down the truth about hormone-driven acne: from the biggest misconceptions to what’s actually happening inside the body. We get into why so many women in their late 20s and 30s suddenly start experiencing breakouts, and whether “hormonal acne” is as common as it seems. We also unpack the key hormones at play, the difference between stress-related breakouts and insulin-driven acne, and why these patterns often show up along the chin and jawline. If you’ve ever felt like your acne is cyclical, stubborn, or confusing — this episode will help you understand what your skin is trying to tell you, and what to do next.

    68. Are 2026 Skincare Trends Helping or Hurting Your Skin? Nichola Reacts To Exosomes, LED Masks, Salmon Facials & More

    Happy Tuesday, STT Fam! I am sure many of you have scrolled through your FYP, saw a video about a new skincare product on the market and thought: "should I do that!?" In today's episode, Mamabear Nichola breaks down some of the biggest skincare trends of 2026 and shares how those trends may be impacting your skin. We cover everything from the viral popularity of under-eye masks and lip masks (including the Rhode lip treatment craze) to the growing interest in peptide and collagen-supporting products as weight-loss drugs become more common. Nichola also explains the shift from “glass skin” to the newer “high-rise skin” trend and why the industry is moving away from hyper-shiny skin toward healthier, more balanced complexions. We also dive into the rise of regenerative aesthetics—like exosomes, stem cell skincare, growth factors, peptides, and PDRN (often called the “salmon facial”)—and whether these treatments are truly revolutionary or simply the latest buzzwords. Other topics we unpack include the renewed focus on skin barrier repair, the role of microbiome testing, the boom in at-home facial devices like LED masks and radiofrequency tools, and whether exfoliation pads are doing more harm than good.
