Just to chip in on the skin stuff. Not in her defence, I promise!
I seem to remember Kathaleeeeeeen has PCOS; as do I, and have had since I was 18 - well, it's when I was diagnosed. Acne and PCOS are firm, firm friends thanks to a variety of things (blood sugar levels, hormones out of whack, high levels of androgens etc). It's debilitating, depressing and bloody hard to manage in all honesty. I have done everything you can think of (not all in a few months, over decades) but I still struggle to keep my skin on an even keel.
However.
What I find incredibly difficult with her skin issues is her lack of consistency. I tried Skin and Me, and followed their directions - didn't work for me, the formula didn't suit me; but I tried it solidly for 11 months and kept things simple - I didn't throw everything at my poor face including the kitchen sink! I now use Dermatica, their formula seems to really agree with my skin and, touch wood, my skin is behaving rather well. I do know it could still kick off though, and I am incredibly careful when introducing even a new sensitive cleanser.
So while I have a lot of empathy for acne sufferers, I lack sympathy in this instance because she 1) clearly doesn't take advice and 2) doesn't even stick to the products she promotes. Her work has made Skin and Me look like shite when it isn't. I would recommend the service (and Dermatica) to so many people - but anyone reading KS's stories would likely steer clear and that's appalling. I want to sit her down and tell her all the things she's doing not to help herself when it comes to her skin, ESPECIALLY after such a hard journey with Roaccutane - but the other part of me wants to rage in her face that she has PCOS and it still the size of a doll. It's *infuriating*
Also, while I agree that diet and skin are bedfellows - speaking from personal experience, when your PCOS bastard skin wants to flare, it will, and you could have been eating like Gwyneth Paltrow in the early 2000's. It's a fucker.
It's been a crappy day. Sorry everyone x
