by REPRESENTING it. Thank you toΒ @balmonds_skincareΒ for this opportunity and as always showing me and guiding me through my skincare journey.
Balmonds taught me the power of natural skincare for healing and tbh is the reason I started posting about my skin online after seeing such amazing results. They gave me hope and supported me along the way.
They also helped me see skincare routines as self-care and not as a chore.
And now they are helping YOU, by making their website into a showcase of gorgeous diverse individuals who all have skin conditions.
If you donβt see yourself in any beauty campaign, you start to think youβre not beautiful. Thank you for showing the skin condition community that WE ARE BEAUTIFUL.
ALSO, just want to share what representation means to me;
For me, representation means EMPOWERMENT of yourself and others. It means seeing and instantly feeling a huge overwhelming sense of BELONGING. It means being inspired and then inspiring others yourself, simply for showing your real skin.
It also means GROWTH.
No one can hurt you because you are acknowledging your insecurities and taking control of your narrative;
Itβs NORMALIZING NORMAL SKIN.
Which with time also evolves into ACCEPTANCE.
