Cosmetic Acupuncture - Experience Matters

Yep, that's my face! Here I am working on lifting and shaping my cheekbones while preventing smile lines, droopy eyelids, and dark circles under my eyes.  Cosmetic acupuncture is more than just sticking needles in the face - it's working with the underlying muscular structure to shape, lift, and contour the face.  When seeking a cosmetic acupuncturist, ensure you find a practitioner who has specific advanced cosmetic acupuncture training. Because they are trained specifically to understand facial musculature, a cosmetic acupuncturist will be able to develop a personalized treatment plan to meet your skincare and facial goals.

So, I decided to trade in my lotion for coconut oil, I changed up my diet, and for the most part my skin felt great.  BUT my armpits still felt itchy and I would get occasional bumps in the area. Believe me when I tell you I tried every deodorant in the supermarket - from traditional to 'natural' brands - and I felt like I was in a catch-22. The traditional stuff made my skin worse (and contained questionable ingredients) but the natural stuff didn't work. What was I to do?

I Tried THIS For My Acne, And It Changed My Life...

This photo above described me perfectly - I suffered from widespread acne, rosacea, simultaneous dryness and oiliness, AND I started to see fine lines and wrinkles developing on my face.  I would hide behind large amounts of makeup, often cancelled social plans because I was embarrassed of my skin, and my confidence was at an all-time low. I tried every cream, pill, and ointment and never found a permanent solution for my skin issues, until I tried THIS...
