Skin Logic expands on what begins here as a skincare podcast and writing series on Substack.

Each piece builds a more complete understanding of how skin functions—and what becomes possible when we stop working against it.

Subscription is free, and each release is delivered as it’s published.

Reclaiming How We Understand Skin

Skin Logic begins with a simple observation:
much of what we’ve been taught about skin doesn’t align with how it actually behaves.

Over time, care shifted toward correction—often working against the very systems it was meant to support.

This work reexamines skincare through the lens of biology, where function, balance, and communication—not control—determine how skin responds.

The Host

Anne C. Willis is a licensed skin therapist with more than five decades of clinical experience in paramedical aesthetics, botanical science, and biologically informed care.

Her work is grounded in a long-standing observation: “skin functions as a living system—one that regulates, adapts, and recovers when it’s supported, not controlled.”

This perspective was shaped through years of clinical practice, working alongside medical professionals, and developing protocols for pre- and post-procedural care.

She is the founder of De La Terre Skincare, created to support the skin as a living ecosystem.
