STORY TIME!
THE BEFORE! HOW ITS ALL BEGINS.
I used to think expensive products meant effective products.
So I kept buying whatever everyone else was using or showing off online. Trending skincare. Viral routines. Shelf products with big promises.
But my skin kept getting worse. I questioned my own skin. I questioned my body.
Dryness.
Hyperpigmentation.
Breakouts that left dark marks for weeks to months.
And the hardest part?
Most of the trending Products wasn’t actually designed for rich melanated skin like mine.
I was layering products without understanding ingredients, I was damaging my barrier, inflaming my skin, not knowing how melanated skin responds differently to products.
I wasn’t healing my skin.
I was overwhelming it.
That version of me in the first photo was tired, frustrated, and honestly losing confidence in my skin 😔
But that struggle became the reason Cocomelanix was born🫶🏼💃To Be Continued
