From Severe Acne To Glass Skin: Why Your Sunscreen & Skincare Are Making It Worse | Bethany McDaniel

About this episode

Bethany McDaniel discusses her journey from severe acne to clear skin and the impact of skincare products on skin health.

You're probably spending more money on skincare products that are secretly making your skin worse. Bethany McDaniel, founder of Primally Pure, went from debilitating adult acne to skin so clear people don't believe it's real—and she built an entire brand around what actually got her there. She breaks down what's really driving chronic acne in women, why most non-toxic brands are still quietly failing you, how farm-sourced ingredients like beef tallow are changing everything, and how your hormones, birth control, and fasting habits are all showing up on your face.
