About Athina.

Cosmetic chemist & Founder of The Skin Explained

For 7 years, I was where you might be now - I battled rosacea, trying every treatment, from prescription creams to antibiotics.

When my symptoms kept returning, I realized that this approach wasn’t sustainable.

As a scientist, I committed myself to researching cutting-edge science to uncover the underlying factors of my condition while exploring holistic methods to address them.

From this journey, The Healthy Skin Protocol was born, and I’m here to share that path with you.

"Athina has really made my life better!!!! For the first time, I have been able to stay consistent with my diet and skincare routine and my skin loves it. I even went to work without makeup for the first time in 3 years!!"
