These two pictures

These two pictures ONE YEAR. SAME VACATION. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT RELATIONSHIP WITH MY SKIN almost exactly one year apart. Different destinations, same summer road trip, family of four. at them I realised just how much can change in a year. Last year on this trip, I spent hours researching skincare. I made my first intentional Sephora purchase, first microneedling device. scheduled my first treatment, and bought my LED Mask. At the time, those felt like the big decisions. Looking back, none of those purchases actually changed my skin. What changed my skin was every single day after that. So, of course, I wash my face, I wore sunscreen, I used vitamin C. I learned how to support my skin barrier. I implemented a retinoid, intentionally stayed consistent even those immediate results. A balanced corrective treatments like lasers and microneedling with daily skincare. And I've lost over 100 pounds this year. So, of course, my face looks different. When I look closely at my skin, the redness, the texture, the glow, the way it reflects light. That's where I see the year of consistent care. So I've gained and lost a lot over this past year, the biggest thing I've gained this year is confidence. It really started with one small decision to show up for myself everyday. just starting your skincare journey, whether you're 25, 45, or 65, this is your reminder that one year from now, Can look really different. I'd spent years thinking I missed my chance to take care of my skin, and it turns out I hadn't. So here's your little reminder that it's never too late to start showing up for yourself.
