Even when I was doing everything "right", this was the story of my life.

Nothing worked. I felt frustrated, insecure, and defeated. I thought esthetician school would be the answer, but instead my skin broke out worse than ever.

The products we used weren’t made for melanin-rich skin—they were harsh, chemical-heavy, and didn’t reflect my reality. I cried, I hid, and I almost gave up.

But deep down, I knew my skin deserved better. So I started listening to it. I researched, studied ingredients, and rebuilt my routine with patience, intention, and love.

It wasn’t easy, but now my skin is healthy, resilient, and glowing—not because it’s “perfect,” but because I care for it with knowledge and consistency.

That’s what I want for you too: not flawless skin, but skin that feels good to live in. When you treat it with kindness, it gives that love right back.
