About the Author

I want to thank all 18,000 patients that I have seen over the past ten years. Without that valuable experience, I would not have been able to find my niche in the field. I have learned so much and continue to learn from you.

INTRODUCTION

I always tell my kids that life is full of experiences and they should embrace and learn from each one. My journey to becoming a dermatologist was not traditional, but it truly shaped who I am today. On my path to becoming a skin expert, I realized that I had not been living a healthy life. Over the past five years, I have changed my lifestyle and I am now in the best shape of my life. How did I do it? I call it inside out beauty. I changed my diet to incorporate more fruits, vegetables, and fiber. I exercise frequently and I make sure to get enough sleep every evening. The habits that I practice daily result in a leaner body and a feeling of balance. I am content, and my melanin, as they say, is popping. A healthy gut leads to a life of longevity, a stable mind, and clearer complexion. I discuss my recipe for inside out beauty with all my patients daily.

The purpose of this book is to provide a guide to achieving a well-balanced, healthy life. I will take you step-by-step in the process of how to attain inside out beauty. We will begin with our mindset, then take a deep dive into the gut before we transition to the ideal skin routine, including a discussion of common skin conditions that impact all skin types, particularly skin of color. And of course, I will touch upon ingredients that make your skin glow. My goal in life is to help individuals feel more confident in their skin. Through my holistic approach, I have helped thousands of individuals transform their lives by improving their skin tone and texture and making them feel more self-assured and look more radiant.

MY PRESCRIPTION FOR YOU

Healing your skin isn’t just about products and procedures. Radiant skin is a lifestyle. In this book, you will learn the ways to shine and glow from the inside out. In the process of addressing skin concerns such as acne and hyperpigmentation, you’ll also improve your overall health and wellness. My first prescription, as your new dermatologist: read every chapter of this book. I’ll start by telling you a little bit about myself and my journey to becoming a dermatologist with expertise in addressing acne. Then, step by step, we’ll make adjustments together that will lead to clearer skin and a brighter tomorrow.

Chapter 1: Comfort in My Own Skin

When patients come into my practice for acne treatment, I always tell them that getting acne under control is a journey and that it takes at least four to six months. There are going to be setbacks; however, in the end you will be grateful for a clearer complexion and a change in mindset as a result of the lifestyle changes I recommend. My journey to becoming a dermatologist was not conventional and it required much of the same patience and discipline that I ask of my patients. It was definitely interesting. . .
