Not my usual before and after, and something I’m not entirely comfortable sharing, but this is me.
On the left, I was still working in the NHS. I was run down, overwhelmed and constantly juggling everything. Looking back, I think a lot of how I was feeling on the inside was starting to show on the outside too.
And on the right, this is me now.
Of course, full transparency, I’ve had treatments along the way. I’ve started taking my skincare seriously and, probably most importantly, I’ve started taking better care of myself too.
So no, this isn’t a before and after to suggest that changing your life magically changes your face. There has been skincare, treatments and a lot of looking after myself involved.
But I also think there’s something to be said for what happens when you feel happier, more fulfilled and more like yourself again.
There’s a lot more than aesthetics between these two photos.
Sometimes you don’t realise how far you’ve come until you look back.
