Skin Talk Tuesday

Happy Tuesday, STT Fam! Taylor Fazio, Registered Dietitian and Wellness Advisor at The Lanby, is joining us for one of our most honest and packed conversations to date. And yes, she is also a Pacific Touch client, so she knows firsthand what it feels like to be on both sides of the healing journey.Taylor opens up about her own skin story, including years of harsh acids, tretinoin that she went rogue with, zero sunscreen and a barrier that was completely broken down before she found Pacific Touch. She shares what changed, what she learned from Kim, and why staying consistent was the biggest unlock of her entire healing process.From there, we get into the gut and nutrition side of skin health: what an ideal skin optimized day of eating actually looks like, her honest stance on intermittent fasting and how blood sugar plays a bigger role in your skin than most people realize.We break down the electrolyte conversation, including which ones Taylor actually recommends, which popular ones she would skip and who they are really designed for. We also get into probiotics and why the wrong strain at the wrong time can make things worse, not better.Then we get into prenatal vitamins, and Taylor does not hold back. She explains what to actually look for in a prenatal, which brands she trusts and why, and what she wishes more women knew about the most nutrient demanding time of their lives. We also touch on what it looks like to support someone coming off the pill and why postpartum is one of the most overlooked windows in women's health.We close out with a rapid fire wellness round that you will not want to skip.If you have ever felt like your skin is trying to tell you something, this one is for you.Follow Taylor @taylored.healthSubscribe to To A T Work with The Lanby

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
