Growing up, I lived with eczema and psoriasis, which meant I could never use the “regular” skincare products that most people did. From a young age, I was hyper-aware of everything I put on my skin, always checking to ensure there were no added fragrances or harsh ingredients that could trigger irritation. I remember staying at a friend’s house, carefully layering on long sweats, a long-sleeve shirt, and socks to avoid my skin touching the sheets. Their laundry was always fragranced, and even the smallest exposure could send my body into a flare-up.

The constant visits to the dermatologist became part of my routine, as I searched for new treatments that might help. But it wasn’t long before the rash spread to the soles of my feet, making every step a painful reminder of my condition. After trying everything from topical creams to tapes, the only solution left was getting shots in my feet. While they provided temporary relief, they didn’t heal me. No matter how hard I tried to avoid irritants or fragrances, sometimes a brush against a hotel bed or a little sweat would set my skin off, and I’d find myself battling painful inflammation. The worst part wasn’t just the flare-ups—it was the insecurity of feeling like my body was constantly betraying me. And then, to top it off, teenage hormones brought a new issue: acne on my face.

Like many teenagers searching for answers, I dove into the world of skincare products, hoping to find something that could work for both my sensitive skin and acne. After seeing rave reviews on social media, I decided to try some of the trending products. But instead of healing, I completely destroyed my skin barrier. My face looked worse than ever. Frustrated, I decided to hit reset. I stopped washing my face entirely and gave my skin a break. Slowly, I reintroduced a gentle moisturizer and a mild cleanser, focusing only on repairing my skin’s natural barrier. To my surprise, my skin started to improve, and before long, it began to glow.

Today, I’ve learned how to manage my flare-ups without medication. Through my journey, I’ve embraced healing from the inside out, and it’s become my passion to help others do the same. I now dedicate myself to educating and guiding others on their own paths to healing—mind, body, and soul—through holistic remedies.
