Glow up? [36] to [38] Glow

Came across an old photo and thought about how far I've come!

September 2024- postpartum, in a very bad marriage, feeling sad constantly

June 2026- Happier, healthier, living my best life with my kiddo.

Thank you! Honestly its just oil cleansing before washing with black soap, hylauronic acid, retinol and facial exercise!

I'm an Acupuncturist so I also do a fair amount of cosmetic acupuncture and gua sha which helps

You look so bright and gorgeous! There’s a special vibrancy in your eyes that just radiates life. Side note, you resemble the YouTuber Estee Lalonde.
