Welcome to Our Skin, a Personal Discovery Podcast. Each week, host Holly Frey showcases a personal story from someone who lives–and thrives!--while managing psoriasis. Being diagnosed with a chronic skin condition can throw anyone off track, but Our Skin guests have a message of hope: a diagnosis can be an opportunity to discover new things about ourselves, our grit, and our power. In addition to these tales of hope, Frey and her guests plunge into the jaw-dropping, bizarre, and occasionally poisonous chronicles of our approach to skin conditions – unveiling a history that's far from straightforward! They explore everything from ancient remedies like snake oil to modern dermatology breakthroughs. Whether you’re looking for inspiration on your own skincare journey or are curious about the sometimes strange history of how we treat our skin, you’ll find genuine, empathetic, transformative conversations here on Our Skin.

We’re going to talk about how to take care of ourselves without falling for every shiny supplement, cleanse, or “fix” being thrown at us.
