#173: What Your Face Says About Your Health with Kirstie Reese | Founder of Sugarface Skincare

Did you know your face carries a map of the body? It's true! Your face can share information with you about your health and well-being.

In today’s episode, I'm joined by Kirstie Reese, a licensed esthetician, acne specialist, and founder of Sugar Face Skincare in Los Angeles. Kirstie specializes in results-driven skincare, blending science with a holistic approach to help clients heal their skin and boost their confidence. But this conversation goes way beyond facials and products — you’ll discover how your skin can actually tell you what’s going on inside your body, from diet and digestion to hormones and overall well-being.

Kirstie shares fascinating insights on Chinese face mapping, self-care routines, and how inflammation or breakouts in different areas of your face may signal issues with specific organs or lifestyle choices.

Plus, we hear her inspiring journey from struggling with acne as a teen, to starting her own business, to empowering others to find healing without prescriptions or harsh treatments, but rather - holistically.

You’ll also learn practical tips on addressing skin issues from the inside out, and how self-care isn’t just a luxury—it’s essential.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  1. How your skin can act as a map, reflecting your inner health, emotions, and lifestyle choices
  2. How embracing holistic approaches to skincare can be an empowering form of self-care
  3. The importance of aligning your inner and outer wellness as you create a business—and a life—that is true to who you are.
