Why Taking a Holistic Approach to Acne Leads to Better Outcomes with Carly Whytcross of CAP’s Clinic

 Almost everyone at some point in their life will experience acne. From teenage breakouts to persistent inflamed cystic acne in adulthood. I’m sure you’ve had at least one experience of trying to conceal, dry out or reduce a dreaded breakout on your skin….. And usually, it seems to occur right before an event.

 

I am no stranger to acne myself. I had the usual hormonal breakouts as a teen, but they were persistent, sore and red… I even recall not going to school some days because I was so self-conscious of my skin… then it calmed down in my later teens and reappeared with a vengeance in my early 20s. Ironically this was when I was studying at uni and working in a skin clinic where I had access to every topical skin care cream, serum, treatment and peel possible… but it got worse, it was only when I took a hard look at my lifestyle and stopped overdoing it that my skin improved… and now I’ve just turned 30 and I don’t recall the last time I felt worried about leaving the house because of my breakouts…. But it’s been a journey.
