• S03E38. Adult Acne Explained: 5 Holistic Pillars to Clear Your Skin From the Inside Out

  Struggling with adult acne and the hit it’s taking on your confidence? You’re so not alone.In this episode of The Clear Skin Chronicles, Katie and Cris unpack why acne is a messenger—not the enemy—and how to decode what your skin is trying to tell you. They walk through The 5 Acne Clearing Pillars and show how these pillars overlap to create a truly holistic path to clear skin.From gut imbalances and sluggish bile flow to lymphatic stagnation, cortisol spikes, and barrier-wrecking routines, you’ll learn how “inside-out” fixes translate to calmer, clearer skin.Tips in this episode:Treat breakouts as signals from within: investigate stress, gut function, detox pathways, and hormone regulation—not just pores.Build the “clear-skin house”: foundation (gut), walls (detox pathways), roof (hormones). Don’t skip straight to hormones.Manage cortisol & blood sugar: both can drive sebum production and breakouts—balance meals, stabilize routines, breathe.Simplify skincare: pull back on over-exfoliating/actives; rebuild the barrier with niacinamide, squalane, ceramides, aloe, chamomile, hyaluronic acid, and skin-friendly probiotics.ResourcesShop My: https://shopmy.us/shop/katiestewartwellnessShop CLEARSTEM (Code KATIES saves 15%): https://clearstem.com/KATIESKSW Blog: https://katiestewartwellness.com/blog/Let's Connect:Book a free call and let’s chat about how we can help:  here.Download The Gut Loving Cheat Sheet, here.Follow Katie on Instagram, here.
