It’s Been A Journey…….
It’s Been A Journey…….
My skin struggles have always been an issue for me. I always thought I just kind of got the short end of the stick when it came to my skin and I never really found anything that improved my skin until I was well into my 30’s. Crazy, right?
As a teen I dealt with cystic acne and hormonal breakouts. I was a “picker” and constantly embarrassed by my skin. I began wearing full coverage makeup at a young age to help me feel more confidant about my skin. It was never matched to my skin tone correctly and probably was pretty toxic.
Into my twenties I was really not caring for myself the way I should have been. I was drinking way too much coffee, running miles, upon miles a week and literally living off of Wahoo’s Fish Tacos and chips. It’s safe to say not only did my skin pay the price but so did my hair, cycle and overall health.
In my 30’s I began my healing journey. My skin would have its moments but I was still not looking at labels or considering how my cosmetics or (lack there of) skin care routine was effecting me in any other way. When I was 34 my skin took a turn for the worse. I had had two babies and recently moved to the desert, where everything was different.
What I dealt with for 3 years after our move I could not tell you, even dermatologists were baffled. It began on my forehead after been out in the sun a bit too long. My skin became itchy, dry and covered some sort of rash. As time passed it started to cover more of my face until it covered about 75% of my face. It was painful and embarrassing.
In that time I had become pregnant with our third baby which exacerbated the issue. I prayed that once our daughter, Emerson, was born it would finally clear up but again she came and the skin issue stayed. After about a year of trying so many different products I got fed up and needed to really figure out how to heal my skin.
With a little inspiration I began making my own skin care. I began with a cleansing balm and loved how clean and nourished to my skin felt. Then I began experimenting with a moisturizer to help target issues I was struggling with. After about 4 months of using this new (to me) approach to skin care I began to see huge changes my skin. My itching and redness had reduced, my wrinkles were becoming minimal and blemishes were nonexistent. I was blown away.
Today the 3 step skin care system has changed my skin completely. The red itchy rash that covered my face for 3 years is gone, my hormonal blemishes come and go much faster than they ever have in the past, and my skin is looking and feeling glowing and refreshed. What makes me feel so good about using these products is that they are natural, non-toxic and safe.
I love these products and wanted to share them all with you. I hope that if you too are struggling with skin issues that you give yourself time and grace, along with a really nourishing skin care routine, and you too can find relief.
