Health is important. Without your health, you can't do anything. And it's a job to stay healthy. That's why you need a team and partnerships to help you, says board-certified dermatologist Naan Bake, M. D Bake considers herself a lifestyle term, which means she focuses on nutrition, mental health, and day-to-day choices—not just topical or prescriptions. Radiant skin is a lifestyle.
In this episode of Clean Beauty School, I chat with Bake about why it's so important to find a skin care pro (or team of them!) you trust—plus all the lifestyle habits she tells patients to adopt for clearer, more youthful-looking skin.
Have a go-to stress management tool.
Stress is a huge contributor to acne if you're genetically predisposed to it—consider it public enemy No. 1 (This is thanks to the hormonal reaction of stress triggers—you can read about stress's effect on skin and acne here.)
If you don't manage your stress levels, then you're always gonna have some form of acne. And acne is a spectrum—these breakouts could be whiteheads, blackheads, cysts, and everything in between, she says. So it's really key to manage stress levels—and managing stress levels also helps with other skin conditions too.
Your skin barrier needs rest days too.

It's important that the skin barrier stays healthy too When the barrier is disrupted, then it becomes more inflamed, and that exacerbates the acne, she says. And a lot of our acne medications are irritating. So it can be complicated to balance the two.
She says that it's best to keep it simple elsewhere in the routine, and then use your strong acne-fighting ingredients (like retinoids, AHA, and BIS) as tolerate. Give your skin rest days, she says. Take it from the term herself: I can only tolerate a retinoid once or twice a week, she says.
