95. Skincare Tips for Runners: How I Kept Acne-Prone Skin Clear Training for the NYC Marathon
Happy Tuesday, STT Fam! Mary officially ran the NYC Marathon (in its 50th year as a five-borough race!), and today we’re recapping race day plus the skin prep that carried her through months of training. Nichola breaks down her esthetician game plan for acne-prone skin and long, sweaty workouts: keeping antifungals in the routine without stripping the skin barrier, leaning on anti-inflammatory and calming skincare, and why dialing back Mary’s routine calmed her summer flare up so quickly. We also get into gentle mandelic acid for daily exfoliation, daily PT masks during a flare, facials every three weeks, and the root-cause testing Mary did with her nutritionist (GI map, blood work, and why so many active women are low in iron and B12). PLUS, the bib mishap that had all of New York cheering for “MABY,” and why recovery should always include bone broth. Whether you’re training for a race or just love a heated workout, you don’t have to choose between your goals and your skin. Available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts 🎙

Happy Tuesday, STT Fam! This week we’re joined by content creator, freelance influencer marketing strategist, PT client, and my dear friend, Annie Jorgensen (@anniejorgensen). Two Wisconsin girls from neighboring towns who found each other in NYC… the invisible string is real!Annie opens up about her skin journey, from growing up with severe allergies and eczema to getting hit with hormonal acne for the first time in her mid 20s after switching from birth control to an IUD. She shares what finally moved the needle once she started seeing Bella at PT (hint: it started with her cleanser), plus a few honest confessions along the way. Nichola breaks down the estie POV on eczema, why an eczema-prone barrier acts like a car alarm that won’t stop going off, and why the gut is such a big piece of the puzzle.Then we get into all things NYC… Nichola’s take on why Annie is the modern day Carrie Bradshaw, Annie’s lore (Miss Georgia AND Joe Millionaire, yes really!), taking the leap to go freelance, and where she sees the influencer landscape heading.

93. All Things Acne Acids: Mandelic, Salicylic, Glycolic, Lactic & Azelaic Explained
Happy Tuesday, STT Fam! This week we’re breaking down the acids everyone keeps asking about for acne-prone skin: glycolic, lactic, mandelic, salicylic and azelaic. Nichola explains the real difference between an AHA and a BHA, why molecule size matters, and where azelaic fits in (spoiler: it’s not technically either!).We get into the biggest mistakes people make with acids (hello, five actives at once), why Nichola isn’t a glycolic girl, and why mandelic has become her desert island acid. She also shares how to tell normal pinking from irritation, why fall is a great time to introduce an acid in NYC, and her product picks, including the Lilac + Flint mandelic serums (5%, 8% and 11%), the Neogenesis mandelic, and our new 2% salicylic toners.We wrap with our rapid fire, “This FOR That,” covering blackheads, body acne, dark marks, hormonal chin breakouts, pregnancy and more.
