This week on The Skindustry, I'm joined by Functional Skin Practitioner and educator, Faye Knox, to explore why skincare alone isn't always enough when it comes to clearing acne and other chronic skin conditions.

We dive into what a functional approach to skin health actually looks like, how internal factors such as stress, hormones, gut health and lifestyle can influence the skin, and why so many clients continue to struggle despite trying every product on the market.

Faye also shares her journey into functional skin health, the inspiration behind creating The Functional Skin Academy, and why she believes education is key to raising standards within our industry.

We discuss:

• What a functional approach to acne really means
• Why skincare and facials aren't always enough on their own
• The biggest root causes Faye commonly sees in acne clients
• The role of stress, the nervous system and overall health in skin healing
• Whether every skin specialist should be offering blood testing and functional health support
• The gaps in traditional skin education
• What it takes to become a truly great skin practitioner in today's industry
• The future of functional skin health and where the industry is heading next

Whether you're a skin professional looking to deepen your knowledge or someone navigating your own skin journey, this episode is packed with valuable insights and thought-provoking conversations.
