I'll show you the way

We can’t hate ourselves and expect clear skin ⚡️ If you notice that you often speak down to yourself or you have consistent negative thoughts about your skin, try this daily self-love practice: Every time you step out of your bathroom and walk through that doorway, say something kind to yourself out loud 🤍 Words like: “I am worthy” “I deserve to give myself the same respect and care I give to others” “I am beautiful just the way I am” It’s easy to look in the mirror and think: look at all this acne, facial redness or ______ so what I’m doing isn’t working 😓 This negative thinking will only bring you negative results. Shifting your thinking from a place of fear and judgement to a place of love and compassion is a game changer 💫 Taking care of my emotional health was the missing piece in my healing journey. For those of you who practice self-love, I’d love to hear what practice has helped you 👇🏻

Naturally derived from bitter almonds, mandelic ac

Naturally derived from bitter almonds, mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that is an excellent treatment for improving acne, reducing fine lines and hyperpigmentation ☀️ Due to its large molecular size, it can function like salicylic acid (BHA) without the drying side effects. It’s a much gentler acne treatment to use for combination skin types. As with any exfoliating acid, introduce it to your skin slowly. Start with twice a week and increase the following week only if your skin is presenting zero redness, tightness or visible flakes ⚠️ For most skin types, exfoliating three times a week is plenty. If your skin is oily, you can try increasing to every other night to see if it increases your results. My favourite products with mandelic acid are @gloskinbeauty Pro 5 Liquid Exfoliant, + @bionresearchskincare Mandelic Acid Serum both of which are available on the SD shop 🤍 What has been your experience with mandelic acid?

I made this yummy pad Thai inspired dish and it was too good not to share 😋 My favourite part is the sulfur-rich broccoli florets that help combat acne from the inside! What you’ll need:
• Spaghetti squash
• 1 large or 2 small carrots
• 1 large head of broccoli
• 1 yellow pepper
• 2 chicken breasts
• 1/2 package of rice noodles
• 3 cloves of garlic
• 2 inch piece of fresh ginger
• 6 spring onion
• 1/4 cup of tamari or soy sauce
• 1 lime, juiced
• 2 tbsp white or ACV vinegar
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 1/2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
• Sesame seeds + cilantro on top
• Spices: coriander, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper Roast the squash 🌿
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
2. Cut squash lengthwise in half
3. Coat insides with a thin layer of OOO
4. Roast for 20-30 mins until soft
5. Let cool before removing insides with a fork and set aside
6. Boil hot water and pour over rice noodles - let sit until softened Prep the chicken 🐓
1. Clean, dry and slice your chicken breasts into large bite sized pieces
2. In a bowl, toss with 1 tbsp OOO, 1/4 tsp coriander, paprika, salt and pepper
3. Set aside for 20 mins to marinate on counter Prep the veg 🥦
1. Chop up your broccoli into small florets, carrots into thin slices, dice your pepper
2. Finely chop garlic and ginger
3. Chop spring onion and cilantro Create the sauce ☘️
1. In a 2 cup measuring glass, add 1/2 cup OOO, 1/4 cup tamari/soy sauce, lime juice, a splash of vinegar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp honey/maple syrup, green onions, cilantro and a pinch of chilli flakes
2. Add salt and pepper and adjust for taste. More sweet? Add honey or maple syrup. More tangy? Add vinegar or lime juice. Start cooking 🥘 1. Add 1 tbsp OOO to a wok or large pan
2. Add chicken and cook for 5 mins on until almost cooked through
3. Add peppers and carrots, salt and pepper. Cook until *starting* to soften
4. Add broccoli florets and ginger. I like to put a lid on my pan at this stage to steam the broccoli
5. Add garlic and cook for 3 mins or so before mixing squash, noodles and sauce together. Enjoy!
