"This is something I have wanted to post about for a long time, but have been genuinely afraid to. Sharing my biggest insecurity with the world, for everyone to see is terrifying. But there is a comfort in knowing you are not alone, and if I can be that for someone then it is all worth it. So, here we go...
___
I struggled with acne since I was a teenager, come to find out recently I have PCOS which has likely played a big role in my acne journey. I have been to several dermatologists who just wanted to put me on the pill (which I believe is just a mask for symptoms, whether that is for acne or PCOS) and/or keep me on antibiotics (which destroyed my gut) for years.
___
I have even been on a couple of courses of Accutane— one of which I had to stop after a month because it caused such severe back pain I could barely get out of bed, let alone train towards my competitive goals.
___
Nothing worked, and I felt like no one wanted to solve the root cause of my problem. I felt defeated, and guilty for being mentally impacted by a problem that to others seemed vain. If you have ever dealt with acne, you understand.
___
When I began using products in February of 2018, provided by Christina Silva at , that was the first time I felt like someone was willing to really help me. She coached me through things like ingredients, makeup products and the impact that diet can have on my skin— things that dermatologists had always brushed off as they hurried me out of their office with a prescription. Christina didn't make any outlandish promises, but we put together a personalized regimen to get my skin to a place where I felt confident going into the swim event at the 2018 CrossFit Games without a stitch of makeup on my face. It may sound silly, but that was a big milestone for me.
___
I still get the occasional hormonal breakout, but I am at ease knowing my Face Reality regimen will help to clear up quickly. If you are over struggling with your skin, and feel like you have tried literally EVERYTHING (trust me, been there), I highly recommend visiting facerealityskincare.com and finding a specialist near you."
