Would you believe me if I said I healed myself?
Okay, not quite—it's been a long, painful 4-year journey, but I’ve finally cleared my cystic acne. And now, I want to help you fast-track your way to clearer skin without breaking the bank on dermatology bills.
I know firsthand how hard it is to struggle with acne when access to expensive treatments isn’t an option. My worst breakouts hit when I was unemployed, and that feeling of helplessness? It’s rough. That’s why I’m starting this Substack: to share my daily skin journal, help you navigate your journey, and hold myself accountable along the way.
I fell off the wagon for a couple of months this year and I recently experienced a brutal breakout where I was unable to pinpoint the source due to my lack of journaling consistency. So, this is me recommitting, and inviting you to join me.
Acne is a lifelong battle, and I don’t believe anyone should fight it alone. I’m here to share what I’ve learned, and my hope is that this Substack becomes a resource for anyone who needs it. Let’s learn and heal together.
