Episode 12: Skincare 101 | Understanding Adult Acne

About this episode

Skincare influencer Luna Nqiwa discusses adult acne and foundational skincare routines.

In this episode, skincare influencer and Nelo Skin founder Luna Nqiwa joins the show to demystify adult acne and foundational skincare. Breaking down the common triggers (from hormones and hygiene to diet and environmental pollution) the discussion reframes acne as a chronic condition to be managed rather than a war to be won. Luna provides an essential roadmap for building an effective routine, explaining the necessity of tailored cleansers, hydrators, and the non-negotiable use of broad-spectrum sunscreen.
