Here's our story....... 

​

​

​

the birth of pure skin collection started from a collective effort to save my father's life from stage 4a cancer.  in 2015, my father was diagnosed with head and neck cancer.  during this timeframe i was also going through an emotional rollercoaster in my marriage which eventually lead to a divorce.  After learning this traumatic news about my father's diminishing health, i decided to become his caregiver.  i packed up my 3 minions and we moved to hartford, ct to help my dad #killcancer.   ​in the midst of my father battling stage 4a cancer, the team of providers and specialists grew concerned about this aggressive disease we were fighting against because the conventional recommended treatments were not shrinking the tumors and the cancer was still actively circulating in his upper body region.   if surgery could not be performed within a specific timeframe, the doctors estimated 1 year of survival if the cancer continued to metastasize, in layman's terms meaning my dad would not be eligible for a laryngectomy surgery.​  at that moment, i inadvertently became a "biohacker", meaning to take matters into your own hands and feet to optimize your own health using all forms of science, a bit of faith, and self experimentation.   i could not just sit back and solely rely on the democratization of a broken conventional health system to repair my dad's severely toxic body.  i yearned for an alternative approach to help my dad survive.   i started researching the benefits of juicing and we purchased a nutri-bullet blender to start creating smoothies and juices to drink daily.  ​​this was a true call to action plan and kept the minions onboard as well and we decided to juice as a family.   

 

throughout the winter and spring seasons of 2016, my father would consume 3-4 detox drinks throughout the day with his meager meals.​   we attacked the cancer like world war z by combining a fierce holy-trinity treatment plan that consisted of chemo, radiation, and juicing.  my dad would complain about his withered-discolored skin from the side effects of his conventional therapy.  we had tons of compost from prepping juices weekly that i would just trash.  one day i had this weird idea to dehydrate some of the cucumber peels and avocado skins to help soothe his irritated skin from radiation treatment, so I went on facebook marketplace to find and purchase a dehydrator.  since we were going full throttle with this lifestyle change, i even switched our cooking oils from vegetable oil to olive and coconut oil.  the machine was simple to operate so i quickly learned how to dehydrate the peels and seeds of the compost of whatever was left over from preparing our juices and smoothies on a daily basis. i would then infuse the dried ingredients in olive oil then rub the oils all over my dad to soothe his malnourished skin.  these oils naturally contain healing properties like vitamin E and fatty acids to help relieve dry mature skin.  he quickly fell in love with the relief he received from the products and i was soaking up the joy of witnessing my dad's health, energy levels, and mindset shift from adding an holistic approach to beating the cancer.  prior to this cancer challenge my dad was not conscious of his health.  everything seemed peachy until his body went into shock from the alarming detoxing and body cleansing that punctured him in such a way that stimulated a threshold of toxins which caused him to faint.    because his body was extremely parched, he was transported to the emergency room where he was given an iv for fluids then sent back home.​  after he completed a scheduled mri in september 2016, we learned the cancer stopped spreading, so at that moment he became eligible for the surgery, which was later scheduled February 2017.  ​

we are on a mission.......

 

at pure skin collection my company thrives on being clean and green by formulating 100% toxin free handmade skin care and creating an intimate experience for our customers.  we have an open policy that allows our customers to reach out to me as a friend and ask about my ingredients, knowing I am making products in small batches and to order.  they can even request substitutions if needed!  i am the face of my business and will be seen as more of a natural living mentor than simply selling handmade products. 

​

 

our customers can reach out to  request a customized skincare plan using our hair hacks kit.this kit is designed to address mineral deficiencies which can lead to underlying poor skin health.  since the skin is the largest organ of the body, we believe in taking a diverse approach to assist and address all skin care needs and concerns to get down to the root-cause.

 

 

 

our mission is to develop customized native formulas by using mineral analysis and our diy (dehydrate, yield, infuse) technique to provide clean and green skincare products using plant-based ingredients that stimulate an all natural healing from the inside out.​

​

all of our recipes are developed using our diy (dehydrate, infuse, and yield) technique and designed for all skin types then concentrated with all natural ingredients and pure therapeutic essential oils like lavender and geranium. lavender is known for antibacterial properties and agile calming effects that are suitable enough to ease inflammation caused by stress hormones like cortisol.  while geranium is effectively used as an adaptogen plant to release tension and provide overall mind and body relaxation.  according to a report published by the american academy of dermatology,  more than 85 million people in the u.s. are affected by skin diseases.   the term "skin disease" is used to describe common skin disorders including multiple types of dermatitis along with other flair ups like eczema that can be linked to distress. 

​

at pure skin collection we take pride in healing from the inside out one pore at a time.
