For Years, I Fought My Skin—And Lost
I can’t remember a time when my skin wasn’t a battle. As a baby, my mom kept a box of Aveeno close—oatmeal baths in the kitchen sink were practically a daily ritual. I was slathered in oatmeal before I even said my first word. By my teen years, I was deep in the trenches of acne treatments, following every skincare rule I could find—rules that, unsurprisingly, always seemed to involve buying more products. Double cleansing. Toners. Harsh astringents. Salicylic acid. Benzoyl peroxide. If it promised to clear my skin, I tried it.
Nothing worked.
Instead, my skin was a contradiction—oily yet flaky, dry yet breaking out. I scrubbed harder. I switched or added more products. I even tried tanning beds, desperate for anything that would “dry out” the oil. But no matter what I did, my skin refused to cooperate.
Sound familiar?
I convinced myself this was just how things were. That some of us were cursed with problem skin. That the only solution was to keep fighting, keep controlling, keep doing more.
But what if the secret wasn’t in doing more—but in doing less?
The Moment That Changed Everything
My skincare “aha” moment wasn’t glamorous. It didn’t happen under the expert hands of an esthetician or in a cutting-edge lab. It happened in the quiet aftermath of major surgery, when, for two weeks, I had no choice but to abandon my usual multi-step, multi-product routine. No cleansers. No scrubs. Just fresh washcloths and warm water.
I braced myself for disaster—the inevitable breakouts, the greasy shine, the dry patches in desperate need of exfoliation. I waited for my skin to rebel.
But instead… my skin thrived.
For the first time in my life, my face was calm, clear, and radiant. It was as if my skin had been waiting—begging—to just be left alone.
That moment sent me on a relentless search for answers. I pored over dermatology research, but I knew there had to be more to the equation. The deeper I dug, the more I saw the bigger picture: our skin’s health is about more than just products. Diet, exercise, sleep—all of these play a massive role in how our skin looks and functions. But the most shocking revelation? The very products I had relied on for years—the cleansers, the exfoliators, the so-called miracle serums—were the main driver of the problem.
Over-cleansing, over-exfoliating, and drowning my skin in products were disrupting my skin’s natural balance, stripping away the essential microbiome-friendly skincare that protects and nourishes it.
The conclusion was undeniable: we’ve been doing too much. And in our quest for flawless skin, we’ve been sabotaging the very thing that makes it thrive.
It was here that my minimalist skincare routine was born.
Lumanitas: Skincare That Works With Your Skin, Not Against It
Your skin isn’t the enemy. It’s a thriving ecosystem—one that has spent millions of years evolving to protect and heal itself. But modern skincare has taken a detour, waging war on skin in the name of “perfection.” Harsh cleansers, aggressive treatments, and an endless cycle of expensive, unnecessary products are stripping away its natural defenses, leaving it more vulnerable than ever.
That’s why I created Lumanitas—a holistic skincare approach rooted in nourishment, not rigid obedience to outdated beauty myths and over-cleansing rituals. Our superfood skincare facials are designed to work with your skin, not against it. Packed with prebiotics, probiotics, and nutrient-rich ingredients, they replenish rather than strip, nourish rather than overwhelm.
Because when you stop fighting your skin and start feeding it what it truly needs, the glow follows—naturally.
Healthy Skin Starts With Trust, Not Control
Lumanitas isn’t just about skincare—it’s about rethinking what healthy skin really means. It’s about trusting your skin’s intelligence, respecting the microscopic ecosystem that lives on its surface, and recognizing that great skin isn’t about constant intervention—it’s about balance.
Your skin is home to bacteria, fungi, and even mites—and that’s a good thing! This unseen community plays a crucial role in skin health, the same way a flourishing microbiome in your gut, brimming with a complex milieu of beneficial microbes, is essential to your gut health. Why should skin be any different? When skin is left to do its job, it creates the kind of natural glow skincare can’t replicate.
Here, we believe in:
✔️ Minimalist Skincare with Purpose – Fewer, better ingredients that truly nourish.
✔️ Microbiome-Friendly Skincare – Supporting, not disrupting, its natural function.
✔️ Holistic Skincare Approach – Because what you eat, how you sleep, and how you move all impact your glow.
