Clear Skin without Compromise

The plan helps you assess your diet and lifestyle habits to figure out which of them may be triggering breakouts.

Primarily you’ll be making changes to your diet. You’ll be adding in nutrient-dense, low glycemic, anti-inflammatory foods while minimizing or avoiding pro-inflammatory, pro-acne foods such as dairy and sugar.

You’ll also learn about the lifestyle triggers of acne, such as stress, lack of sleep, and lack of movement, and how to improve your habits in those areas.

Finally, since your diet and lifestyle do the heavy lifting when it comes to improving your skin, the guide recommends gentle, natural skincare products to address breakouts and scarring. (Sold separately).

Participants typically begin to see small changes within 3-7 days of following the protocol, in the form of a reduction of redness, inflammation, and bumps. Full or substantial clearance can take between 4-12 weeks, with some requiring a little longer.

Often people are skeptical that diet can have a significant impact on their skin, especially if they tried an elimination or two, and their skin didn’t clear up. While dairy is a common, well-established acne trigger, there are many possible acne-genic foods as well as underlying root causes of acne, such as gut imbalance, hormone imbalance, blood sugar imbalance, stress, chronic inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies.

So, simply removing a food or two or three, is often not enough to eradicate acne. Additionally, we each have our own unique history, genetics, and biochemistry – which means there is not one clear skin diet that works for everyone.

That’s why The Clear Skin Plan offers a customizable, whole-body approach to acne. When it comes to diet, we help you figure out the eliminations and the additions YOU need to clear your skin, and pair it with a protocol to address any imbalances of the gut, body, and even mind. The result is a targeted protocol to help you clear your skin, for good.

Most likely, yes. Everyone’s definition of healthy is slightly different. And, because we each have our own history, genetics, and biochemistry, the healthiest diet for each of us is actually different, too.

The Clear Skin Plan helps you find the diet, skincare, and habits that work best for your unique body.

Acids, peels, and lasers, oh my! It seems like the current trend in skincare is the harsher, the better. But, acne prone-skin is already red, irritated, and angry – so why exacerbate it with harsh products that disrupt the skin barrier and induce more peeling, flaking, and redness?

Diet and lifestyle will do the heavy lifting for clearing acne, so harsh topicals are not recommended. Instead, we’ll recommend a minimal amount of simple, natural, highly effective skincare products to treat current outbreaks and scarring while improving the texture of the skin (sold separately).

Yes, we’re all for convenience, so we provide you with guidelines for eating and ordering out.

Since the 1970s, dermatologists have been taught that there is no link between diet and skin. However, in recent decades there is a growing, undeniable, body of evidence to suggest that diet and lifestyle are contributing to the rising acne rates.

As of 2019, the American Academy of Dermatology, which sets the Dermatology curriculum, finally acknowledged the potential role of dairy and sugar in acne but stopped short of suggesting derms should make dietary recommendations to their patients or even acknowledge the very many other potential diet and lifestyle triggers.

That’s why in practice, your derm will probably never ask what you eat or make a dietary recommendations. Instead, they rely on prescribing pharmaceuticals.
