The Shift That Finally Cleared My Hormonal Acne

For seven years, I lived in a cycle of trying everything for my skin:

• Skincare routines (over $1,000 in products)
  
• Food elimination diets
  
• Functional testing and supplements
  
• Dermatologist prescriptions
  
• Acupuncture, kinesiology, and more
  

And still — my hormonal acne raged on.

It wasn’t until I made one simple but powerful change that my skin finally started to clear: I stopped asking, “What should I do?” and started asking, “What feels alive?”

What does that mean?

I realisd that my skin wasn’t just about hormones — it was about how I was living. My days were packed with should's:

• Saying yes to opportunities I didn’t really want
  
• Working long hours past midnight
  
• Ignoring my body’s need for rest, play, and boundaries
  

So I started making “alive” decisions:

• Saying no when my body screamed no — even if it made no logical sense
  
• Prioritising sunlight, grounding, and cold therapy
  
• Eating to nourish instead of to control
  
• Slowing down enough to actually feel my choices
  

And slowly, my skin shifted.

Your skin is more than a surface issue. It’s a compass.
