In today’s episode, I sit down with Lori Ward to discuss all things skincare and acne.Lori is a licensed esthetician and an interactive health practitioner who started her journey into skincare to learn more about the underlying factors that contribute to acne, delving into topics such as gut health, probiotics, and the lymphatic system. Her dedication to her clients and desire to help them heal holistically has led her to explore a variety of avenues to continue to deepen her knowledge. Lori believes that acne is not just a superficial issue, but a symptom of deeper imbalances in the body. Rather than relying on quick fixes like birth control or Accutane, she advocates for a more holistic approach to healing that addresses the root cause of acne and supports overall wellness.In this episode, we’re talking about:How imbalances in the body can cause acneWhich treatment will work best: holistic vs medicinal How Lori creates individualized wellness plans for her clientsYour gut’s effect on skin healthIf morning cleansing is right for youLori’s perception on balancing aesthetic enhancements like botox and fillers, while staying true to a holistic mindsetThe importance of staying active as you ageI truly enjoyed getting to talk with Lori on this episode!
