Naturopathic Skin Health Support

WHOLE-BODY, ROOT-CAUSE FOCUSED CARE FOR SKIN HEALTH IN KELOWNA AND VIRTUALLY THROUGHOUT BRITISH COLUMBIA.

GLOWING STARTS DEEPER THAN YOUR MOISTURIZER.

If you’ve been cycling through skincare products, restrictive diets, or prescription creams and still don’t feel comfortable in your skin, it’s time to look deeper.​

Whether you're struggling with acne, eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo, or other chronic skin conditions, you deserve a care plan that sees beyond the surface.​

​

Dr. Alex Lucyshen, a naturopathic doctor in Kelowna, offers whole-body, root-cause focused care for skin health—supporting internal balance to help your skin heal from within.

Dr. Lucyshen supports a range of skin concerns, including:

  • Acne (hormonal, cystic, adult, teen)

  • Eczema and atopic dermatitis

  • Psoriasis

  • Vitiligo and pigmentation imbalances

  • Rosacea and perioral dermatitis

  • Dry, flaky, red or inflamed skin

  • Premature aging, dullness, or skin laxity

Naturopathic skincare is especially helpful for:

  • Women who feel like their skin is a constant battle

  • People who’ve tried it all—Accutane, antibiotics, elimination diets, and endless skincare products

  • Anyone whose skin flares with stress, hormonal changes, or digestive issues

  • Those looking for sustainable, long-term skin healing—not just a quick fix

  • Anyone seeking to feel strong, calm and confident throughout their fertility or pregnancy journey

You don’t need a diagnosis to begin.

If your skin is bothering you, that’s enough.

Dr. Lucyshen's approach to skin care

Skin symptoms are not just surface-level problems — they’re signals from deeper systems in the body.

Your skin is a reflection of what’s happening beneath the surface. That’s why Dr. Lucyshen takes a root-cause, inside-out approach to treating chronic skin conditions.

 

Together, you’ll uncover how your gut health, liver function, hormones, immune system, blood sugar, and stress load may be affecting your skin.

What a naturopathic skin care plan includes:

  • In-depth health and skin history

  • Bloodwork and optional functional testing (hormone panels, GI stool testing, food sensitivities, nutrient status)

  • Gut and liver detox support to reduce inflammation and promote skin clarity

  • Hormone balancing for acne and cyclical skin flares

  • Tools for nervous system regulation and stress resiliency

  • Nutrition, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle strategies for skin healing

  • Topical skincare is also addressed—with an emphasis on supporting the skin barrier, not stripping or overloading it.

What you can expect after working together:

  • Fewer breakouts and more calm, clear skin

  • Reduced redness, flaking, or irritation

  • Slower visible aging and a brighter, more even tone

  • More confidence and ease in your body

  • Improvements in digestion, energy, and hormone balance (it’s all connected!)

You'll also gain:

  • A deeper understanding of your skin’s unique patterns and triggers

  • A personalized roadmap for long-term skin health

  • A sustainable plan that supports both healing and prevention

Common questions about naturopathic skin care

Do I need a diagnosis like acne or eczema to work with you?

Not at all. Whether your concern has a name or not, if your skin is affecting how you feel, we can start there.

Can I still work with my dermatologist?

Absolutely. Many patients see great results combining naturopathic support with conventional dermatology care.

​How long until I see results?

Some people notice changes quickly, but deep skin healing takes time. The goal is not instant perfection — it's long-lasting, foundational change.

Will I have to cut out all my favorite foods?

Only if there’s a clear connection. This approach is personalized and flexible—we don’t restrict unless it’s necessary, and the goal is always nourishment, not punishment.

Do you treat acne naturally?

Yes. We address acne through hormonal balance, gut and liver health, and lifestyle support. If topical treatments or medications are needed, we can integrate them appropriately.
