<h1>How It All Began</h1>
The Root of Lacking Self Confidence

I’ve always been self conscious of my appearance. From the time when puberty hit until almost a year ago, I’ve come across extreme redness, occasional swelling, and plentiful breakouts.

It hurt to put makeup on, even the natural products. And often, my acne would turn purple as I would continue to pick at my face. It was not pretty…

<h1>And Then There Was Hope</h1>
It was in 2020-2021 when I experienced my worst skin irritation. It was around the time of my wedding, so not much sleep and much stress - perfect for the skin! 
My parents were concerned when they realized that the skin irritation was still an issue months after the wedding. Their solution: see a dermatologist. 
They didn’t need to convince me. After trying multiple products and over-the-counter drugs to reduce the problem, I knew I needed something. But little did I know that my solution was far from seeing a dermatologist. 

Product Attempt #10373

It was in July of 2021 when I was approached with a business opportunity. I didn’t know what to expect. I just liked the sound of getting natural skincare products at a great discount (the only thing I was using for my skin at this time was a bar of soap). 
A few days later, my packaged arrive. It was that night when I tried my new skincare routine for the first time. It was a complete disappointment - or at least I thought it was!

<h1>6 Months Later…</h1>
A transformation I never expected

The first time I used Monat’s skincare, my face was burning red and full of heat. It was because of this new business opportunity that I continued to pursue my new skincare routine - and I’m more than thankful that I did! 
It was only the one time when I experienced burning and redness. Now, I use these skincare products twice daily and my face has never felt and looked better!
