RECLAMATION SKIN BARRIER
Since I was 13 years old, I’ve struggled with severe acne breakouts and have never had clear skin. I spent fortunes- thousands & thousands, at Target, Proactive, Sephora, the dermatologist (I went on antibiotics and the pill and Retin A and even did Acccutane in my early 20s) In my mid 20s, I used all the natural products: cleansers, serums, hydrosols, scrubs, masks, ACV etc,
It always worked at first, until it no longer worked and my skin has been in a vicious cycle of acne breakouts until I finally realized the damage I was doing to my skin barrier, and developed products and a regimen to heal the skin barrier.
I now rarely use any products, including my own, and my skin is soft, supple, clear, and maintains a hydrated barrier. I don’t wash my face and I rarely even moisturize. I hydrate most often with our hydration mist: using once a day or sometimes once a week- but I went through a couple years where I needed to use 2-4 times a day followed by our serum and barrier balm to keep my skin from being dry, flaky, or from having breakouts.
My skin barrier maintains all this largely on its own now through a restored microbiome, acid mantle, and lipid layers.

This will be for you if you are currently experiencing:
Acne: hormonal, cystic, or everyday pimples- no matter what products you use- pharmaceutical, natural, etc.
Clogged pores, whiteheads, blackheads
Eczema
Dermatitis
Greasy oily scalp or dry brittle hair despite all the no poo methods you’ve tried
Itchy and dry scalp
Skin that is prone to rashes easily
You’re concerned about environmental toxins and are doing all the detoxes (which are only destroying your skin barrier and leaving you more susceptible to barrier permeability)
You’re happy with your skin but feel that it requires a lot of product/time/dedicated regiment to maintain it
You have dry, thin, papery skin
You have oily, red, inflamed skin
You have wrinkly and saggy skin
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY-
You are ready to deeply commit to completely new stories and beliefs around your skin barrier, products, and how to support healthy skin.
We do not need skincare products to have smooth, clear, radiant skin. Products should be supportive, but never a necessity for healthy skin.
You must be committed to addressing everything you currently believe about your skin, and willing to create new stories. This will include going back to everything you were told and adopted as beliefs about your skin from the time you were a child, teenager, adult, etc.
— Were you told/shown you needed to wash your skin because it’s dirty?
—Were you told/shown that oily skin is bad and needs to be dried out with harsh products like salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide?
— Were you told that hormones and bacteria all of a sudden cause acne when you’re a teenager?
— Were you told/shown as a teenager that bacteria needs to be killed to get rid of acne- then later in life all of a sudden you needed “good” bacteria to outweigh the “bad” bacteria to have clear skin— how are these beliefs causing conflict within your being?
—Were you told and shown that once you’re 30 your body will begin aging, and all of sudden your body will stop producing collagen, and you’ll get wrinkles, and fine lines and saggy skin?
—Were you told that once you’re out of puberty your acne will go away, and then as an adult all of a sudden you’re told about “adult acne”
—Were you told to scrub your face, exfoliate dead skin, use pore strips, do acid peels, lasers, etc to have smooth clear skin?
—Were you told greasy food, chocolate, and milk cause acne? Then you’re told they don’t, wait yes they do! (How is this internal conflict affecting your skin?) (WHAT ACTUALLY CAUSES ACNE?!) — is it caused- or is it a healing response?
—Were you told/shown that fragrance and soaps cause eczema and rashes? Did your body inherently want to eliminate them? What was the state of your emotions, biology, and microbiome? Can your body adapt to stress, and also be impenetrable to it?
—Are you told that you need to detox through your skin with all kinds of clays because the world is so toxic?
—Are you told you need 1828482 different natural or synthetic and fragrant products to have healthy skin?
All of these conflicting beliefs and stories and actions about your body and aging, all affect the state of your your skin barrier, which affects whether your skin is expressing acne, dryness, aging, and/or eczema.
