My new journal is here // BTS of the photoshoot // Acne skin update

[@jordynsophiamakeup]

Love you speaking about your skin! People just easily act as if it’s superficial to care if your skin isn’t clear. But it’s so hard to deal with acne even if we know deep down it doesn’t matter.

[@dianatiganeva4711]

I feel like you’re the one of many youtubers giving real value with your content and energy. You’ve helped me so much with my mental health and I’m feeling genuinely excited every time I see a new video from you. Sending you so much love ❤️

[@kristinquinn9]

This is such a powerful message. As someone who has struggled so so much with acne the biggest thing I’ve learned is it’s your heart that matters most. To love who you are inside is the most important thing and to surround yourself with others who love you as well. You’re such a beautiful person and those who know that will see your flaws as a beautiful thing rather than a negative. 😊😊

[@brookelauryn9360]

It’s so stressful. I too have struggled with acne for as long as I can remember. It breaks my confidence and luckily over the last two years I’ve changed myself inside out and healing my hormones naturally. It’s still hard there’s still hard days and I’m so thankful your willing to be vulnerable and raw about your own experiences because it really does help other people.

[@nikkicampos4934]

Thank you for talking about the skin!!!! I had perfect skin for 30 years and at 30 got hormonal acne, I've been seeing a naturopath but still struggling to get it completely under control. Knowing I'm not alone feels good. I will never take my skin for granted again. I feel so insecure over my acne

[@Thehealthyflightattendant]

You are so beautiful..inside and out. I completely relate to the deep emotions of skin issues. I’m right there with you. I have tried everything for the last few years too. I’m happy you have hope in a new treatment. Definitely do an update if it helps. I’m at the point you are! 💗

[@samiclarke]

I definitely will love!

[@madisonjacobs8758]

I HAVE THE JOURNAL AND IM OBSESSED!!! if u are trying to get into a morning routine that is healthy for the mind and body this is a must!

[@linneaholsen]

Girl! You were preaching! 💜 I so relate to what you were saying about the skin. I use to struggle with eczema on my whole body, including my face and it can be so depressing because not only does it truly affect your confidence, but even more so when your skin physically hurts, it hurts to move, to talk, to smile, to do all the positive things that make you feel good. So much love towards your journey and thank you for sharing!

[@kellyhartigan2518]

I am so excited. My daughter and I are very inspired by you Sami. We lead a good clean healthy lifestyle anyway but have found you to be a great inspiration as you are so real and caring. Took the plunge and ordered 2 journals for myself and my daughter even though we live in the UK and will cost me over $100 dollars with import tax , but worth every bit. Keep doing what you are doing Sami xxx

[@lexalash]

Sending you so much support, Sami. You have to do what’s best for you. You are not alone. 💖💖

[@allthingshealthy2314]

Sending love your way! I have been there with my skin. I get it girlfriend. I remember crying at my bridal makeup trial because makeup wasn’t covering my skin and my skin was so broken out along with being dry and flaky from all the products I was trying. Just something else to suggest looking into- liver congestion can cause acne if you haven’t checked your liver. Also check your drainage pathways, make sure you’re going to the bathroom (bowel movements) daily, sweating, that kinda thing. I hope whatever you decide to try next works. Keep us posted!!

[@ginaobrien8802]

I there! In the video you mentioned that you feed your golden-doodle a grain free diet. I am a fellow golden-doodle mom to 2 furry boys. With our first I started him on food that was grain free, for no particular reason, and at his year check up the vet informed me that a grain free diet for specific dog breeds, which includes golden-doodles, has been linked to cardiomyopathy. The vet suggested that he only be on this diet if he has food intolerances to grains, otherwise it was highly suggested i switch foods. I just wanted to bring awareness to this, as we want our furry kiddos to have the best health and be with us as long as they can.

[@maryann0014]

Really glad you did a deep dive on the journal! I was on the fence until seeing how wonderfully detailed it is. Just ordered it-yay! Can’t wait to get started! Love it when you bake, Sami! I can so relate to your experience with the cookie dough. My go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe is the Grain-free Olive Oil Chocolate Chip Cookie from Gathered Nutrition. One of the best cookies I’ve tasted and such healthy ingredients! 😋 I substitute a flax egg (1 tablespoon flax meal mixed with 3 tablespoons water) for the egg in the recipe.

[@briahsands5579]

You truly are so inspiring Sami! I take away so much from your videos and you are a constant motivation in my fitness and health journey. I have been lifting for 5 years now but you helped me approach fitness in a different way! It’s truly my therapy and my me time now! I wish you had a podcast!!

[@briahsands5579]

Also I have to say I have never noticed your anything on your skin and I still honestly can’t tell! You’re so stunningly gorgeous that I don’t think anyone would ever notice if anything was on your skin

[@Bluedaisyy]

Thank you for your openness about your skin! I have struggled for the last few years and like you, I have tried a variety of remedies - supplements, diet changes, blood tests, laser treatments, topical ointments, etc. It can feel very defeating. & it's tough to feel confident. All this to say, I feel you completely and I am extending lots of love to you with your skin journey. xo.

[@emsihart2982]

I have a lot of troubles with acne and I'm so happy that you're talking about it. Litterly what you're saying is so true. People do not get the point of acne if they didn't where in the same state. But what we have to remember that we are more than our skin. I tell myself everyday how beautiful I am and I show up in a way I would like other ones to show up in their life. Again, thank you so much for mentioning this subject. It means a lot for me. For now, I'm using roaccutane for the upcoming 8 months. It's a heavy medicine and I've used it 1 year ago for 6 months but unfortunately It came back. Hoping that my second cure will help me out of it. For now, I love you and you inspire me and others. Keep going beauty! ❤

[@lindokuhlekhoza7571]

People say this all the time but I appreciate your honesty with regards to your skin. My skin has been acting up for two years now and it's been very difficult as I've cut some foods out and began buying skincare products that I really can't afford on my student budget. I've spoken to the nurses on campus about it, and I've been referred to a doctor, so I'm praying that helps 🙏🏿

[@iamjilliancole]

Girl I'm WITH you on your chat about your experience with acne. I'm even a naturopathic doctor, did all the testing, took all the supplements, experimented with some pretty extreme diets/detoxes/etc. I even started learning about something called corneotherapy, then took product formulation courses and made my own skincare line, I was getting so frustrated lol. I mean, my skin is great now but that doesn't mean I'm not immune to having the odd breakout and it definitely feels so defeating when it happens after years of work to try and solve it. I love you mentioned that mental/emotional aspect too bc I really do feel it's such a major missing piece in healing any chronic condition, including acne. Anyways that was long...love following along with you, love hearing about your experiences!

[@dr.courtneyhibben]

I ordered mine this morning! I am so excited. I love that you did spiral - that's HUGE!! I am so thankful for you!!

[@samiclarke]

YAY! Thank you for the support love.

[@AnnaA-vd2ze]

I am going through the same thing with my skin right now after two years of clear skin. Before my skin cleared, I was scared to go in public some days. Your realness is validating ❤️

[@kendramalcolmson3355]

Loved this video Sami! I’m so thankful for you sharing your skin experience, I’m going through the same thing and you have no idea how much seeing someone else (unfortunately) go through it helps. Hope you have an amazing day, love yourself and I am so excited for this journal🫶🏼🤍🥰

[@joellaa8598]

Sami!! I don't usually comment but I HAD TO TELL U your soul is just soo beautiful, I hope you never forget that❤️. your gonna come out of this, just like you did last time and you'll feel better than ever. i feel like I relate to this and to you so much especially with my skin journey, it's so nice to know I'm not alone. Congrats on the journal!!!

[@nancypenaloza974]

Congratulations 🎈🍾🎊🎉 On Your Journal 📓 Sami!!!!! 👍👍🙌🙌👌👌👏👏

[@samiclarke]

Thank you so much!!

[@daniellemueller4060]

So so excited to get mine! I’ve gotten out of the habit for a bit but when I was most successful using the prompts you’d show on stories and KZbin, etc. so very happy you made your own! May or may not have had to order another uniFORM as well 😊

[@asmaa_vlog_85]

I feel happy when I get a notification that you have uploaded a new video 🥰😘😍. Thank you very much for uploading the video. Your videos fill me with so much positive energy 🍓♥️🥰😍♥️🍓

[@erikaobuchowicz]

Babe I relate to you so much with your skin journey. I also tried for so long to do the natural route. I’m actually studying to be a naturopathic doctor and really wanted to do it the holistic way. But sometimes medication is what someone needs in that moment. I ended up going on accutane and my skin has never been better and I’m so grateful I just was open minded about what I needed in that moment. I know you said you already tried accutane but I know some people can relapse and require a second round of accutane. Definitely do what you and your doctor decide but it might be a good option ❤️ ps you are gorgeous inside and out, acne or not. You truly are such a beautiful perso !

[@erikaobuchowicz]

Also, I understand the struggle with skin because the moment you break out it causes stress and it’s a vicious cycle to break. At the end of the day going on accutane helped my mental health on such a deep level that even though it wasn’t “natural” it helped to heal me on such a deeper level. Love you Sami best of luck on your skin journey!

[@brittneybarrera3111]

What a great gift too!!

[@aliciaaar3669]

Wow love your true honest self. I can relate to you SO much, and I’m on the same journey. My skin was so good for so long … i cut a lot of food out. Eat super healthy … drink water.. teas… take probiotics and just trying to heal my gut, I’m still getting breakouts 😢 it makes no sense. I’m more on the holistic approach to things also.. but I just don’t know why nothing is working. Any updates for things that have helped ?

[@melanieklein6465]

I had painful cystic acne on my back and chest and it was embarrassing and painful - I completely understand what you're going through.

[@RachelHannah363]

Sami, first of all your self love rant was amazing and so relatable. It’s so refreshing to hear someone speak about it so openly. 💜 secondly, do you use a self tanner for your face or is that your natural skin color on face? Would love to know it looks so natural and glowy!

[@jjoplin2019]

Thanks for sharing your story. I battle with acne too and I can relate. It’s hard to not let it get to you, but thank you for being genuine and transparent with always maintaining positivity. I bought your journal. I’m excited to use it!!! Where do you buy your jewelry?. I love your rings and bracelet.

[@katelynhope3704]

Luv what your doing!! keep inspiring and motivating, because it's helping people!! luv you!!

[@Eileray]

Apple cider vinegar toner helps me so much for my acne and I also use jojoba oil as a moisturizer.

[@SoccerDua]

How many days/pages total is the journal? Love the prompts.

[@saramilton4981]

I look forward to the July challenge. What will it contain? 🥰

[@samiclarke]

huge focus on journaling and workouts!

[@nataliewong9397]

I’m struggling with acne rn and this video was helpful:) I feel lost cuz my skin was bad then good for a while and now my acne is coming back😔

[@Dittewiiind]

How many pages in the journal?

[@samhinrichs203]

you might have tried this, but have you cut out sugar? like even fruit? that has helped my skin along w going paleo so much!

[@katiehill8357]

Amazing job creating that journal! It looks so gooood!💖✨ It was really fun to see you try some new treats and review them😋💕 So sorry about your skin! Mine went from totally clear to breaking out too more recently! Maybe it's the super moon... just kidding😉 I already know mine is my lymph system. I really hope you can find a solution for yours soon! You are so amazing and beautiful inside and out- thank you for sharing your real humanness. You always inspire me🥰 I always love and appreciate your videos. Sending you hugs and skin healing stress free vibes. Love you😘💕💜

[@samiclarke]

thank you so much Katie!!! appreciate you so much love

[@elakxo]

Hi Sami! I have acne scars on my cheeks and they are a holes literally. unfortunately I cannot afford laser surgery. It's best to accept yourself as you are even though I know it's not easy. ❤❤❤

[@samiclarke]

hello beautiful! thank you for sharing with me.

[@louisegriffiths4882]

Hi im curious how much protein do we need in a day to build lean muscle? Should i cut down on carbs and have more protein to not bulk? Just interested. Thanks x

[@haleysimpson1123]

Can’t wait for the journal! ❤️

[@anniedobney4978]

Love this video! I have suffered the exact same skin flare ups and downs the last 10 years and the podcast by Dr Will Cole - How to Heal Acne from the inside - out - Danielle Gronich + Kayleigh Christine was a game changer for me! Also discovered I have a histamine intolerance so any food high in histamine and sugars make my acne flare up again

[@annagaj1178]

Hi Sami, I don't know if its an issue with your skin, but in my case it was coconut oil which caused the acne. When I cut it off from my diet, my skin healed very nicely, hope it may help you♥️🙏😘

[@laurajohnston5391]

girl. go on accutane. i’m in month 3 right now. i felt the same way, waited until all other options were ruled out. now i just wish i did it sooner. changes your life 💕

[@Riss160]

Yes, I did the same. Total game changer! I struggled for like 15 years wish I did it sooner rather than trying what everyone else was recommending.. dermatologist for the win!

[@katiehill8357]

and p.s. River is getting SO BIG! Such a cutie😍💕

[@victoriasrensen6748]

loved this video Sami, need to make those cookies! but what does grainy means? kind of not chewy? sorry I'm an Italian follower ♡

[@coralallon8217]

Wahoo comment number 1 🥰 just about to watch but wanted to be the first to comment 🤣 always love your videos x

[@madisenwalker7382]

Just an FYI- I was on seed and my skin freaked out. My derm told me some probiotics would not work with my skin/hormones. Once I got off it drastically cleared up. Just something to try

[@Michelle7.17]

Hormonal acne is rough! The two products that helped “clear up” my acne are: 1) Dr. Bronner’s Peppermint Castile soap, straight-up, don’t mix it with water! 2) Thayer’s toner, any scent, I used lemon and rose, they worked the same. I also pretty much stopped wearing makeup unless it was a special occasion. I’m sure that you are tired of everyone’s input, but this recipe helped me immensely 😉

[@nicholajayne]

How many days does the journal account for?

[@aaiirriiccaaa]

How many days does it allow?

[@vanessagarcia4367]

You should do an electronic version, eco friendly and would be nice for those of us that have iPads

[@ilaydaC.]

omg i couldnt find the exact video but i remember your fruit diet lolll

[@ILOVUSTUPID]

I really recommend you to watch nina and randa for your acnes!

[@moon9999]

you are beautiful anyway. but what worked for me is to take biotin and vitamin B, less fat and sugar. especially oil/fat. PB2 nut butter helps.

[@Love1234961]

According to the medical medium you should try cutting out eggs completely! I’m sure you’ve done this but maybe it needs to be long term.
