My acne story started when I was 21 years old, I had just graduated from college. I had never experienced acne before in my life and it seemed like it came out of nowhere. My face was getting worse as the months went on. At the time, I had just moved to a new city and started a new job; two things I blamed my acne for.
Fast forward six months, I reached a breaking point. I knew I needed to prioritize my health. I saw a naturopathic doctor first. He gave me some supplements and dietary suggestions, but nothing worked. After this, I knew I needed to take things into my own hands. I have always taken a holistic natural approach when it comes to health issues. Everyday I would do several hours of research on how to naturally clear my face.
I immediately started implementing this research into my everyday life and eventually my face completely cleared up. I will share a disclaimer that this journey was not an easy one, but I slowly realized that having a face full of acne literally saved my life. This new lifestyle approach that I quickly picked up, has cleared just about all of my other chronic illnesses I have been battling my entire life.
I look at my acne journey as a beautiful story, each scar and mark tell a story that I am proud of. They show my courage, strength, and determination; all characteristics that I am so proud this journey has given me. My acne was the sign I needed to really start living my life. The sign that pulled me out of a dark health depression. The sign that changed me physically, mentally, and emotionally.
