What if I told you that acne and hormonal imbalance aren’t just “normal”, and that they’re often connected to gut issues? For a long time, I believed this discomfort was just part of life. Breakouts, painful cycles, bloating — something you push through and stop questioning. This is my real before and after. When I started working on my gut through Ayurveda and lifestyle changes, things began to shift slowly. Digestion improved. My cycle became easier. My skin stopped reacting the way it used to. As a consultant, this is something I strongly believe in now: Hormonal imbalances don’t happen quickly. They are usually the result of long-term ignorance of health. And in the same way, they don’t resolve quickly either. It took me about a year to a year and a half to feel this change. I travelled. I lived my life. I took breaks. And I kept returning to balance. Today, my skincare is simple. No acne-focused products. Just aloe vera gel and basic care. I truly believe natural care should be our first option, not the last. Because when the body is supported properly, it knows how to recover. Sharing this for anyone who has been told to “just live with it”. You don’t have to
