In light of Acne Awareness Month, we will dedicate this episode to discuss all about acne. According to the NHS, 95% of people aged 11 to 30 are affected by acne, making it one of the most common skin conditions. We aim to share our own experiences of growing up with acne in Asia and what it is like to suffer from the same condition under British cultural, societal and beauty standards. We would also provide some of our advice on how to deal with it and the struggles behind it.

Living With Acne In And Outside Of UK

Skinside is a 30-minute roundtable, friendly-styled podcast that discusses everything about our skin that other beauty magazines or influencers are trying to gatekeep from you, ranging from skin health, skincare to skin trends.  

Our aim is to put mental health related to skin onto people’s agenda - we want to normalise skin issues or different appearances that people might have always been trying to avoid or eliminate because we have been restricted by the beauty standard that wants everyone to look perfect. Our listeners will be drawn to the podcast as they can relate to the topics and experiences, and also feel informed, inspired, encouraged and confident.
