Hormonal acne can feel insurmountable. Hormonal fluctuations, including coming off the birth control pill can cause frustrating breakouts that are difficult to treat. It's tempting to try every product out there, so long as it promises a quicker path to clear skin. With so many products on the market, it becomes difficult to know which ones actually work and which ones are a waste of money and time.

In this episode of In Her Prime, Talia speaks to Seanna Cohen, Certified Skincare Therapist and founder of the Clean Beauty School to get a full breakdown of the best natural products which help with hormonal acne and breakouts. From cleansers to face masks Seanna goes through everything you need for a full skincare routine to help keep your skin healthy.

Have you ever thought about freezing your eggs? If you're a woman in your thirties, heck, if you're a woman in your twenties, chances are egg freezing has come across your radar at least once. So much around it can feel overwhelming, scary and unknown. How does egg freezing actually work?? How much does it cost? Does it hurt? How old should you be when you freeze your eggs? What are the success rates? How does it affect future fertility?

In this episode - the very first episode of In Her Prime, Talia sits down with Dr. Dan Nayot to learn all about social egg freezing. From the testing that's done, to the hormones you take, to the egg freezing process itself, a lot is explained. For reference, Dr. Nayot practices out of Toronto, Canada so the information provided on things like cost and insurance is based on Canadian stats. That being said, this episode is still immensely relevant to anyone, anywhere who wants to learn more about egg freezing as the process itself remains largely the same wherever egg freezing is done.  

The purpose of this episode is to help provide you with more in-depth information on social egg freezing from a medical expert, not to make recommendations on what you should or should not do. Of course, that decision belongs to you.
