It wasn't until Ashley discovered the world of amateur facials that she began to see a glimmer of hope. Amateur facials, also known as at-home facials or DIY facials, involve using various techniques and products to replicate the effects of professional facials in the comfort of your own home. Intrigued by the idea of taking control of her skincare, Ashley dove headfirst into the world of amateur facials.

"I was experimenting with exfoliating masks, steaming my face, and using various homemade concoctions," Ashley recalls. "Some days, my skin would look amazing, and I'd feel like I was on top of the world. Other days, I'd wake up with a red, irritated face and wonder what I'd done wrong."

However, for Ashley Alicia, a self-proclaimed skincare enthusiast, her journey to achieving radiant skin was a long and winding road.
