“I wanted to share my skin journey with you guys. ❤️
Since I was about 13 years old, I have struggled with acne. My face, chest, and back would breakout into painful cysts for long periods of time.
For my 15th birthday, I asked to go to a dermatologist. From then on I was prescribed topical and oral medications for my acne. I was put on steroids, antibiotics, birth control, and even Accutane. They would all help for a while, then, they wouldn’t. And on top of that, some caused terrible side effects.
At 28, I was still dealing with acne. It would come and go, and every time I would try something different or get off the meds, my skin would flare up. At this point, it had really taken its toll on my self-worth. I felt disgusting, hideous, and dirty. Even though I knew I was clean and doing all I could to help my skin, and that none of this was truly my fault or my doing – my emotional side took over and I let myself believe in the absolute worst.
I would cancel plans, or if I had to go, I would DREAD it. I would cry while putting on my makeup. I avoided looking people in the eyes and became more isolated. I was spiraling!
At this point, I had already graduated from my Aesthetics training. My skin had been clear all through the program (I graduated Feb of 2020). It was right after the COVID outbreak that I started to break out again.
I was following Enlightened Beauty on IG and saw that she carried Lira Clinical. I knew I couldn’t go to CA to be treated, but as a new aesthetician, I could buy and use Lira Clinical on myself. So I did. I got in contact with Lira Clinical and got connected to Katii, my rep.
These pictures are about 3 years apart. If you look closely at the picture on the left, you can see I have a tear coming down my face. I am so pleased to look at my clear skin in the mirror today. However, I am even more elated to know that I feel more of myself again! That I regained my confidence and now work to help others regain theirs.
I now look at my acne journey as a blessing in disguise.✨“
