"
"Thank you so much to LUWIN, I feel confident and comfortable in my own skin and that’s a feeling I haven’t felt for a very long time. Having such a public front-facing job, I have spent many years looking down, constantly cautious of any judgement of how many breakouts I was facing with that day and how unable I was to cover them all."
