Since Amy launched Skinfix in 2014, she has pioneered the clean clinical category of skincare and brought the conversation of skin barrier health to Sephora. After graduating from Princeton University,Amy lived in New York and London working for some of the biggest names in beauty, from L’Oréal to Jo Malone, before moving to the Canadian coastal city of Halifax, Nova Scotia to start a family. It was there that she met the great, great granddaughter of the British pharmacist who created the heritage Skinfix healing balm.

She was captivated by the powerful formula that the family had passed down through five generations and blown away by the hundreds of hand-written testimonials that they had amassed from people who had used it to heal some of the most serious skin concerns. Since then, she and her team have followed the methodology of using a high level of proven active ingredients at their clinically validated levels to replenish and maintain the vital skin barrier. The Skinfix team works closely with dermatologists to develop therapeutic skincare that is clinically proven to work and will continue until they have helped heal every skin concern that they possibly can. She is also the host of Total Skin Nerds podcast, which features in-depth conversations with top doctors and skin care authorities on a crusade to change how skin is cared for, treated, healed, experienced and talked about.

Vitiligo is a skin condition where the immune cells attack the cells that make pigment, resulting in white patches on the skin. Just like with so many chronic skin conditions, each person’s experience with vitiligo is unique. Some people just have a few small patches, while others have more widespread depigmentation. For those who have just received a diagnosis or are struggling with self-acceptance, the journey may feel overwhelming at first. Vitiligo may change how someone looks, but it doesn’t change who they are inside. By accepting themselves, people with vitiligo can live openly and beautifully, just as they are. This journey can turn challenges into successes, allowing them to shine in their own special way!

Tune into this week's recap episode, where I share key insights from the latest podcast episode featuring LaTrese Coyt.

Key Takeaways:

• Vitiligo is an autoimmune skin condition where the immune cells attack the cells that make pigment, resulting in white patches on the skin.
• Treatment options for vitiligo include topical steroids, calcineurin inhibitors, Jack inhibitors, and narrow band ultraviolet B therapy.
• There is no cure for vitiligo, but treatments can help suppress the immune system and promote repigmentation.
• Latrice Coit, a vitiligo patient and advocate, shared her experience and gave advice on self-appreciation, knowledge, inspiration, and networking.
• It is important to seek support and connect with others who are going through the same condition.
