Skin Is Your Largest Organ.

It is your first line of defense. It is how your body releases toxins. The skin on your face is no exception.

I suffered from cystic acne for years. From when I was about 21-27 years old. I tried every freaking pinterest remedy I could find. Natural masks from coconut oil, papaya and avocados to cutting out dairy to spending hundreds on different skin care products. Some things helped, and I would notice a difference for a week or two.  But when stress hit, I didn’t get adequate sleep, slacked on my water intake, or aunt flo came around, we were back to square one.

If you have had cystic acne you know it is PAINFUL and not the most attractive situation. The pimples are large, red and raised off the skin. Wearing make up is not fun, it looks caked on, and the alternative is walking around with deep reddish-purple cheeks (for me). Mind you, my acne was not even that bad. It seems terrible looking back now. But so many women struggle with so much worse than this.

So here I was, a young entrepreneur, starting my business. I am literally the FACE of my HEALTH + FITNESS business. Having cystic acne on the cheeks is strictly hormonal acne. Not the best poster board for a health business.

I resorted to taking a low level hormonal blocker for 9 months.

I regret it.

Let me make that so incredibly clear.  I didn’t find the help I needed and after 6 years I caved and took spironolactone (an incredibly low dosage).

That is why I am such a big advocate for natural healing now – because I have not taken spironolactone for eight months now and my skin is CLEAR my friend.  After reading Lara Briden’s “The Period Repair Manual” I also decided to start tracking my menstrual cycle naturally. To each his own. But I cannot encourage women enough to educate themselves before making decisions. I didn’t when it came to my acne. I was desperate.

So, now I have access to the help I needed two years ago and I pass that on to you.
