Last Tuesday, Nicole joined my free consultation looking frustrated and honestly a little embarrassed.
She smiled at me on camera and said, “I don’t know what else to do… my acne is getting worse no matter what I use.”
She’d been switching between so many skincare products—brightening serums, acne spot treatments, toners, exfoliators—you name it. Every time a new breakout showed up, she would try something else. Instead of helping, her skin became even more irritated and painful.
During our consultation, I asked her to walk me through everything she was using.
Halfway through her list, she laughed and said, “Okay… maybe that’s too many things.”
And that’s when we started simplifying.
I explained to her that sometimes skin isn’t “broken”—it’s overwhelmed. It’s exhausted from harsh ingredients and just needs a chance to breathe and heal naturally.
So I suggested a gentle reset:
-
No more layering 5–7 products a day
-
Support her skin instead of stripping it
-
Switch to simple, natural ingredients her skin can understand
One recommendation that surprised her was pure olive oil—not the heavy cooking kind, but clean, cold-pressed olive oil. It’s soothing, nourishing, and helps calm inflammation without clogging pores when used correctly. I also guided her toward incorporating mild herbal options that work with the skin, not against it.
A few days later, Nicole messaged me:
“My skin feels calmer already. Why didn’t I try simple things before?”
Her skin didn’t magically transform overnight, but it finally stopped feeling angry. And that alone gave her so much relief.
Sometimes we’re taught that healing has to be complicated.
But often, it’s the natural, gentle, simple steps that truly help our skin reset.
