49. Corneotherapy: Putting the ”Care” Back in Skincare

24:27

Spring is liver season in many traditional medicine systems, and if you've been noticing more breakouts along your jawline, there’s a reason for that. Your liver plays a major role in hormone balance, detoxification, and even how your skin ages—but there’s a lot of confusion about what this actually means. In today’s episode, I’m cutting through the noise to talk about: 🌿 Why spring is the season of the liver (and what this means for your skin) 💛 How the liver affects hormonal acne, inflammation, and even aging ⚖️ Why the skin isn’t “pushing out toxins” (and what’s really happening instead) 🧘‍♀️ The connection between the liver, emotions, and stress (ever felt extra irritable in the spring?) 😮‍💨 The surprising way sighing supports liver function & skin health This is part 1 of a two-part series! Next week, I’ll be covering practical, sustainable ways to support your liver—including foods, herbs, and even the famous (or infamous) coffee enema conversation. If you want to dive deeper into how lifestyle impacts skin health, my program Reclaim Your Radiance is opening for enrollment again soon as an evergreen course!

Facial massage is one of the most powerful ways to support your skin, but the way it’s often talked about online is missing the point. In this episode, I break down what makes facial massage so special, why it’s about flow rather than freezing , and how we can move beyond using it as just another beauty fix. We’ll talk about how stress patterns show up in the face, why the beauty industry keeps selling us the same impossible standards (just in a “natural” package), and how you can build a facial massage ritual that actually supports your skin, your nervous system, and your self-connection. ✨ What You’ll Learn: ✔ Why facial massage is not a replacement for Botox—it’s the antidote ✔ How tension patterns shape the face & how to release them ✔ The difference between sculpting with care vs. trying to control your face ✔ Why mainstream facial massage content feels off & how to reclaim the practice ✔ How facial massage supports the nervous system, circulation, and overall vitality ✔ The truth about wrinkles: how they reflect internal health & what you can do ✔ The ritual of face massage—how to make it a sensory, nourishing experience 💆 Want to Learn Facial Massage for Yourself?
