0:00.0	This is the Pursuit of Wellness Podcast and I'm your host, Mari Lauella.
0:09.2	Hi, guys, welcome back to the show. My name is Mari. I am your host. And today we are talking
0:16.9	skin. We are going to hear from some amazing experts today. I've had so many incredible skin
0:23.2	experts on the show. We talk about acne, aging, ways to just like, look, you're glowiest. I have
0:30.2	personally been through my own crazy skin journey. I am so happy with where my skin's at now.
0:36.9	I feel like I, for the first time in my life, I'm not
0:39.7	struggling with breakouts. I had 10 years of cystic acne. So as a teenager, I really like didn't
0:45.4	have that much acne. My acne really picked up like end of college, into adulthood. And it just

1:54.6	focus on. It's been really fun. So I wanted to just give you guys like some suggestions I have,
2:00.5	some products I've been loving,
