“I think when it comes to PCOS, I’m just sharing my journey to learning about myself. And I think, as a young woman, everyone can understand that.

“I share because I think many people think I’m perfect or they think things are easy for me. “I think a lot of times people just put celebrities on this crazy pedestal,” Palmer said. “My honesty comes from wanting her to know, like hey, and I’m going through a lot. And by the way, maybe you can help me, give me some advice or give me some information. “

“I’m more aware of what I’m swallowing than what I’m putting on my face. The Scream Queens star explains, why she’s teamed up with OLLY to support the company’s health products.

Palmer’s simple skincare routine focuses on being “natural and mild” and relies primarily on cleansers, sunscreen, retinol, and exfoliants to get the job done.
