We know these conversations are hard. You look at your teen’s skin everyday and you just see all the hormones going crazy and you want to help. So you talk about it, you rush to the dermatologist or you buy the acne drying skin care online or in the drugstore or you buy the products you used as a kid.

I have been teaching and talking the beauty business since I was in my late twenties. I remember like it was yesterday, women who are my age now, saying, “Just wait.” I looked in the mirror as I do everyday and have done for most of my life and realized, it has happened.
