As I recently entered the third year of my third decade, I’ve found myself reflecting on how much my priorities have evolved over the past five years, particularly since embarking on my holistic health and hormone healing journey. One of the most significant changes I’ve noticed is how I approach skincare. In my twenties, I struggled with severe cystic acne, a battle rooted in hormonal imbalances, environmental toxins, poor gut health, and low self-esteem. The painful cysts on my chin, jawline, and neck were a constant source of frustration and self-consciousness. I became obsessed with finding the elusive cure-all that would finally clear my skin.

Shopping at my local farmer’s market this summer has become one of my greatest joys. The vibrant stalls are filled with fresh, locally grown produce, and there’s a unique sense of connection to the land and community when I load up on seasonal goodies. The highlight of my visits? The rainbow-colored bundles of carrots I’ve been stocking up on lately. With their shades of orange, purple, and yellow, they’re a feast for the eyes, and each bunch comes crowned with a lush bouquet of green carrot tops.

is there anything better than fresh summer produce? shop your local farmer’s market for the ripest picks or look up farm box deliveries in your area. eating seasonally promotes a healthy gut microbiome, balanced hormones, and your local economy.

As a holistic esthetician and hormonal acne sufferer myself, I know from first-hand experience how it feels to feel like you have no control over your skin and your hormones.
