By sharing her personal journey with hormonal acne, she's appealed to a wide audience who can relate to the frustrations of constant blemishes and scarring. As such, she's been an advocate for prescription medications such as Accutane and Spironolactone, which she uses to reduce her hormonal breakouts. What's more, Earle has a playlist on TikTok dedicated to acne and Accutane, and she shares inspiring videos to support her blemish-prone followers. "Anyone out there feeling insecure about your skin just know its [sic] normal and it gets better," she captioned a video from 2023, early on in her Accutane treatment. In an age of face filters and the pressure to look perfect on social media platforms, Earle's rollercoaster battle with acne offers a refreshing look into the life of an influencer with blemish-prone skin, while also showing how people with acne scars and pimples are still beautiful in their natural skin.

Alix Earle's followers know that the TikToker is not one to shy away from the truth, which is why she posted so many videos before starting Accutane when she was actively struggling with severe breakouts. However, in a post from November 2023, even the inflamed blemishes were not enough to distract from her glowing skin and relatively even complexion. Although her acne has cleared, for the most part, due to treatment, she still shares acne-friendly product recommendations and tips for getting rid of acne scars, including adopting an informed skincare routine and regular dermatological treatments, such as microneedling.

For Alix Earle, riding elevators can be an anxiety-inducing situation. With her hair pulled back to reveal her face in all its glory, she shared one of her elevator-related anecdotes in a TikTok video on May 7, which involved an incident with another woman and her small dog. "I get so scared of anything pertaining to elevators," she wrote in the caption. Despite the somewhat stressful story, Earle smiles in the video, revealing pearly white teeth and a natural flush of color on her luminous, makeup-free skin.

Alix Earle began her European summer holiday at the beginning of June. On her first night in Venice, Italy, she shared a classic "Get Ready With Me" (GRWM) video while sipping an espresso martini, recounting her day, and dishing about her plans for the evening. She started the video without a single layer of makeup before going full glam, and her skin looked absolutely flawless. Here, you can really tell how her skincare routine helps her skin appear dewy, hydrated, and clear. 

On May 5, Alix Earle posted an adorable makeup-free video on TikTok to discuss her belief in the viral "invisible string theory" in relation to partner Braxton Berrios, who is the Miami Dolphins wide receiver.

On May 31, Alix Earle took to social media to share that she was on the cover of a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit magazine. "This is such a dream come true," the influencer wrote in the video caption.
