Katie and Cris talk about acne burnout, the part of the acne journey no one really prepares you for. The phase where you’ve done enough diets, supplements, and skincare changes that your body isn’t the only thing tired, your motivation is too.

This episode breaks down why chronic acne feels so heavy emotionally, why constant change creates more confusion than clarity, and how to move forward without falling into the overcorrect-or-avoid cycle.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why wanting clear skin and feeling exhausted can coexist.
• How acne burnout quietly impacts confidence, dating, work, and daily decisions.
• Why skin often reacts last and what that means for your expectations.
• The signals your body gives before acne shifts, and why they’re easy to miss.
• How fewer, steadier inputs reduce spirals and make progress feel safer.
