My Personal Acne Journey 🫧
When I tell all of you beautiful clients that I understand and empathize your current acne struggle, I REALLY mean it. 🫶🏼
2.5 years ago I was….
• a mother of two boys, with my second child being 1.5 years post-partum and I had just finished breastfeeding
• building a custom 4,000 sqft home
• building the new Golden med spa
• hiring and firing
… all at the same time. 😳
The grind was real, the stress was absurd. My diet was pisspoor, and I wasn’t giving my body the supplemental nutrients it needed.
I own two Hydrafacial machines and I can count on one hand how many Hydrafacials I’ve given myself because that’s a business owner sacrifice at times. Long and short? I created a perfect storm for acne to come back that I had been cleared from for years.
I’ve been acne-prone my whole life. I’ve done two rounds of accutane (yes, read that again.. TWO, because it’s just a bandaid and absolutely terrible for you..), and I got my first ever pimple at 9 years old. Poor baby Erin.
Had I known what was causing my acne all those years, I wouldn’t have hid behind proactiv, Sephora, accutane, birth control, picking, scrubbing, benzoyl peroxide, or any other crazy thing I thought would help.
I’m so grateful that I now carry the knowledge and the capacity to treat acne for myself, and for you. It took 6 months to undo the damage that I did then, mostly because it’s impossible to turn off business owner stress in a season like that.. BUT. I got back on track and I will not let my health slide like I did, ever again. 🙏🏼
I call it acne-suffering because it truly is suffering when you’re dealing with acne day in and day out. I see you. I hear you. And if you’re tired of suffering, please book a consultation with me, I can help! 👋💛 link is in my bio. —
