Today we’re joined by Katey Kristabelle, the creator behind Faces By Katie and the founder of Mindful Beauty. She’s not only one of our speakers for the upcoming ICES show, but also someone whose holistic approach to skincare has inspired so many in the esthetics community. In this episode, we dive deep into: ✨ How chronic acne shaped her path into becoming an aesthetician ✨ The shift from traditional skincare to internal healing practices ✨ Hormones, gut health, inflammation & emotional stress ✨ Why acne is often a symptom, not the root problem ✨ Her philosophy as a holistic aesthetician and how she supports clients today Katey opens up about feeling alone in her early acne experiences, navigating dermatologist visits, using prescriptions, and eventually realizing that true healing goes far deeper than peels and topicals. Her story is all about connection, resilience, and understanding the body from the inside out. If you’ve ever struggled with acne, chronic symptoms, or feeling dismissed in your skincare journey, this episode is for you. 💛
