FINALLY sharing my exact skincare routine…and the science to back it up 👏 I’ve had acne since I was 21 and I’m turning 36 this month. So yes, I’m now dealing with breakouts AND aging. At the same time. Love that for me.

But what if I told you my routine targets both without ruining my skin barrier?

I’m not a dermatologist. But I do have qualifications:

✔️ 15 years of acne
✔️ Tried every product, supplement and routine under the sun
✔️ An embarrassing amount of hours researching skin out of pure desperation
✔️ Years of skin cycling

And it’s the only thing that’s actually worked. Fewer breakouts, calmer texture, and I now own half the products I used to. Best my skin has ever been.

So if you’re standing in Mecca wondering which bloody viral serum you need, how to layer it and why your face is suddenly stinging… this ep’s for you💁‍♀️

Comment PODCAST and I’ll DM you the full routine (which also has all the links to the things I use in the show notes 💁‍♀️🎧

Caring what other people think isn’t a flaw. It’s actually part of our DNA. To stop caring what people think is not the goal. The question was never how do I stop caring? The question is whose words deserve to carry weight? The opinion of somebody who knows you, loves you and understands your life should not carry the same weight as somebody who’s seen 30 seconds of your life online.

I take things personally. And in ep 27 of Stephing Up, I talked through what actually helps me with that.

Facts that will ruin your perception of time and likely your day...

I found these while researching this week’s episode and I’d like everyone to suffer with me (sharing is caring right?🥴)

The reason for recording this weeks episode was because I caught myself saying the same things over and over;
How is it already September?!
How are my kids X years old?!
How is it already 2pm?!

and I say it all while watching YouTube as I cook, doing emails in the Woolies line and listening to podcasts at 2x. We’ve filled every empty minute we have and then we wonder why it’s all a blur..

So I share the e science on why time feels faster as you get older and uncover other facts but more importantly I share how we can slow down time outselves and live a more present life in a busy world.

What fact scared you the most? Mine was def Frozen 🥴

Hi, I’m Steph and I take things personally…well not everything but I am human💁‍♀️🥴

I know everyone loves the Let Them Theory… but I actually think there’s one pretty big problem with telling people to simply “let them” and stop caring what other people think.
It kind of asks us to fight against our own psychology.

It’s human nature to want to belong..it’s literally how we needed to survive as cavemen so it makes sense.

You never needed to grow thicker skin. You need a better filter of what’s worth letting in. Whose words deserve to hold weight…

I talk about how I handle this and how to filter how what’s important feedback vs empty words

I’ve struggled with adult acne for a decade. Deep, cystic, painful acne all over my cheeks and jaw. The kind you can’t cover, because you can hide the redness but you can’t hide the texture. I’d avoid certain lighting. Some mornings I’d go to put my makeup on and it hurt so much I’d just cry.

I’ve spent thousands trying to fix it. Skin clinics, facials, peels, antibiotics, Roaccutane, expensive skincare, cheap skincare. If someone promised me clear skin, I tried it.

And a few weeks ago I woke up, looked in the mirror, and went: hell no. Not this again. But this time I knew what to look for. And the fix was so simple I couldn’t believe it.

This week’s episode is everything I wish I’d known years ago. The biggest shift was realising adult acne is almost never one thing... it’s a stack of small things pouring gasoline on the fire. So now, instead of asking “what’s causing my acne,” I ask: “what have I changed?”

That one question has completely changed the way I approach my skin. Once you understand what to look for, it starts making so much more sense.

Here’s what I get into in this week’s episode:

🧴 The pore-cloggers hiding in your bathroom

🧺 The laundry switch that cleared my skin

💇‍♀️ Why your conditioner might be the culprit

🍳 The breakfast rule that fixed my jawline

🛏️ The pillowcase hack nobody talks about

🧱 Why “burning off” a pimple makes it worse

🩸 The blood sugar / acne link

🧪 The one question to ask every time you break out

And no Barbara, it’s not just drinking more water 🤍
