Season 5, Episode 2: Stressed But Well Dressed: The Acne Edition (with guest Hannah Holden)

Dahlia and Hannah tackle the challenging subject of adult acne and share their personal experiences of living with skin issues for a period of time. They discuss the fact that well dressed is a mindset and that it doesn't matter what you wear if your confidence is challenged because of how you feel. The conversation includes a very raw experience of how it feels to live with acne - with a particular focus on how it felt to have to face others while managing the condition. Adult acne impacts 40% of people and Dahlia and Hannah are hopeful that sharing their stories will help to break the acne taboo.
