My Skin Healing Journey

I was 24 when I began breaking out with cystic acne and nothing seemed to heal it. I was spending hundreds of dollars on chemical peels, facials, creams, cleansers, but my acne persisted. My dermatologist suggested I try Acutane but I refused. I knew there was a reason why I had a sudden change in my skin and I wanted to find the root cause. My dermatologist prescribed me spironolactone, creams and cleansers, but nothing worked. Finally, I realized that I wasn’t treating the underlying issue which was my diet. I could continue to spend all of my time and money trying to treat the break-outs but I realized that I had to heal myself internally. Once I did this, my acne (that I spent a year and a half trying to clear-up), began to heal in just 1 month.

In the pictures above, my skin was at its worst and I was spending a lot of time and money trying chemical peals and facials which didn’t stop the acne, it just helped with scarring and redness. Once I realized this, I began my healing journey starting with my diet.

I spent my money on nutrient dense, high quality food and saved on chemical peels, creams, facials, and doctor’s visits. That’s when I noticed dramatic changes.

One of the major changes I made to heal my skin was eating more fruits and vegetables and cutting out simple carbohydrates. I became more mindful of what I was eating and what my body needed. Whole Foods became my second home, and I started feeling so much better. Diet plays a huge role in balancing our hormones. Hormones cause acne. If you don’t have any underlying conditions that cause hormonal imbalances, i.e. PCOS, diabetes, Hashimoto’s, hypothyroidism, etc. then I recommend looking into your diet to find the root cause of your acne.

This is starting to get long, and nutrition is so individualized. You can learn more about how I healed my skin in my 30-day Skin Transformation E-book. It has everything I did to heal my skin in 30 days, and I can say my skin has never been more clear, glowing, and smooth, since!

I hope this helps and inspires you to start on your own skin healing journey. Not being dependent on prescriptions and other harsh treatments is the best feeling so I’m happy to share what I did to heal my skin, with you.
