Adult acne in your 30s and 40s isn't the same as teenage acne, and treating it the same way can make it worse. Heather sits down with Lune, certified skincare formulator and founder of Monday Muse, to talk about why your skin changes after 30, what your skin barrier actually does, and how gut health and hormones show up on your face.
Lune spent four years trying to clear her own cystic acne before starting Monday Muse. In this episode she breaks down what to look for on a probiotic label, which exfoliating acids she skips, and the viral TikTok acne habit that could be making your breakouts worse.
