Acne should be confronted - not accepted!
My skincare journey was sparked not by choice, but out of dire necessity.
Initially struggling with a few pimples, I soon faced a severe cystic acne outbreak.
Frustrated by the lack of clear, actionable information, I knew I had to take matters into my own hands.
This quest for answers propelled me into the depths of the skincare industry, leading me to become a certified esthetician specializing in oily/acne-prone skin.
It was a revelation seeing how pivotal the right knowledge could be.
