Feeling Confident In My Skin.
Hello LUMION lovers! I am Amy Briant, a fitness and health aficionado turned LUMION co-founder.
I have always believed the state of our health is a direct correlation of what we put in and on our body. I started my health journey at 23 when I opened Pilates Plus OC. PPOC was my first baby and it is safe to say that I lived in my studio. I loved the feeling I got when clients came to me sharing their personal achievements and in part accredited my studio to their success. At the time I was teaching a ton of classes sweating my butt off, combined with long hours led to the decline in my skin health. My skin was constantly broken out.
In my 20’s I was a bit of an extremist and kept to a very strict diet (ie; no dairy and no meat), so I knew it was not what I was putting in my body. My breakouts were a product of sweat and bacteria from working in a fitness facility. I view myself as more of a minimalist when it comes to makeup, but during this time I would not leave the house without it caked on. The embarrassment of having to hide my face started to wear and tear on my self-esteem.
My Father had been working on the stabilization of an ingredient called Hypochlorous Acid or HOCL, this ingredient is known as your body’s own healing agent. Like most young women living in LA in their 20’s I thought I knew everything and I did not believe my father when he said it would heal my skin. After a trip back home to Missouri, my father took it upon himself to mist my face – all day long! Upon return to LA my skin was noticeably better and my friends all wanted to know my secret.
Having clear skin made me want to do cartwheels and dance in circles. I knew I had to share this magical ingredient HOCL with the world because I want every woman and man to feel confident and proud of their skin! Helllllo LUMION!
