The Product Graveyard Reset: How to Screen Skincare and Makeup for Acne-Prone Skin
Use a pore clogging ingredients checker, package labels, and a simple comparison sequence to screen skincare and makeup for acne-prone skin.
Get personalized guidance on nutrition and lifestyle, with a review of relevant lab work for nutritional deficiencies and hormonal factors that may affect your skin health, breakouts, and healing.
During your consultation, a Nutrition & Wellness Specialist will:
Review your current diet and daily habits
Identify nutritional and lifestyle factors that may affect your skin
Review relevant lab work for nutritional deficiencies and hormonal factors
Provide science-based guidance on food choices, practical substitutions, and lifestyle adjustments
Develop realistic recommendations to support your skin health and treatment goals
This consultation works well on its own and can also be a valuable addition to your Professional Acne Assessment, Scar Assessment, or Skin Health & Rejuvenation Assessment.
Nutrition, lifestyle, nutritional deficiencies, and hormonal factors can influence skin health, breakouts, healing, and treatment response. Addressing these factors helps support your skin from within and complement your professional treatment plan.
Required for clients under 18: A parent or legal guardian must attend the full virtual appointment.

Clear answers to the questions clients ask most often before their assessment.
Acne is multifactorial, and food is not the only possible cause. The consultation looks for individual patterns in nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, and lab context that may be relevant to your skin rather than assuming one trigger applies to everyone.
The focus is on realistic, personalized changes and practical substitutions, not a universal restriction list. Recommendations are shaped around your current habits, preferences, and skin goals.
No. Lab results are optional. If you already have relevant results, they may provide useful context for nutritional deficiencies or hormonal factors that could affect skin health and healing.
No. The lists are suggestions organized by skin concern, not a requirement for every client. Appropriate testing varies with your symptoms, history, and individual needs and should be coordinated with your medical provider.
Yes. If available, submit relevant results from the past six months before your appointment. Your Nutrition & Wellness Specialist will use them as context alongside your diet, habits, and skin goals.
No. Nutrition and lifestyle guidance complements professional skin care and medical care; it does not replace them. The consultation can also be paired with an acne, scar, or Skin Health & Rejuvenation Assessment.
