Last week I got a facial at a new spot upstate, and my face looks like a BATTLEFIELD.

I kid you not.

I walked into the spa without a single visible spot on my face, and walked out with swelling, nail marks, new bumps under the skin, and a day later, scabbing.

Oy. Shiz happens, and the facialist said it’s part of the process, but I believe we heal from the inside out, and aggressive picking is never necessary.

Having less-than-perfect skin for a couple days has brought up a lot of emotions for me, as someone who used to struggle with cystic acne. 

My skin has been completely clear 90% of the time for nearly a year, since a major healing went down in Miami last November.

I know it might sound petty, but I feel embarrassed for my boyfriend to see me barefaced, kiss me, and touch my face.

Have you ever felt that way?

Oh, and makeup? It just cakes up and looks terrible with the scabs. Lost cause.

I’m also super shy to be around friends and fam cause clear skin is something I’ve mastered and now teach, which leaves me feeling like a fraud.

Yes, I know no one’s perfect 100% of the time – and a wonky facialist did me wrong – but this is a sensitive area for me.

This experience over the last couple days reminds me of my client Kat’s transformation using the Good Taste System to heal her cystic breakouts, and I had to share it with you.
tumblr_mtquz79vHI1sugdyno1_r1_400Kat came to me because she was dealing with classic symptoms of hormonal imbalance: Breakouts around the chin and bloating.

After a single 60-minute session with me and following the delicious, flexible eating and lifestyle plan we created together for just 2 weeks, Kat emailed me some amazing news.

This is what she had to say…

“When I came to Lula I had hormonal imbalance – period irregularity and breakouts on my chin.

After working with her, I feel great!

I haven’t missed a period since starting the program and my skin cleared up and stayed clear!

I feel lighter, rarely experience bloating and generally feel (and look) healthier and more energetic.

Lula is very understanding and not at all critical. Her advice was super direct and easy to follow and commit to.

I would recommend Lula to anyone with food-related health concerns, weight loss goals, hormonal imbalance, or that is looking to improve their gut health (which affects all other aspects of health and wellness)!”
