ANNOUNCEMENTS

Dealing with acne scars and sensitive skin was more than just a cosmetic issue for me—it affected how I saw myself and how I interacted with the world. Post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation left dark spots that lingered long after breakouts healed, and the pain of cystic acne sometimes left me feeling defeated. It’s easy to fall into the trap of feeling like these conditions define you, but I realized that my skin did not have to be the story I told myself every day.

​

In 2014, I earned my degree in Environmental Science, and it was during my time at the University of Washington that I began exploring the importance of natural solutions in all areas of life—including skincare. But it wasn’t until I entered Naturopathic Medical School that I truly began to understand how herbs and natural remedies can have a profound effect on our bodies, both inside and out. I became fascinated by the potential of plants and botanicals to heal and rejuvenate the skin, and I knew I wanted to bring those benefits to others like me who had struggled with stubborn skin issues.

​

With this knowledge, I decided to take matters into my own hands—literally. Inspired by my personal journey and the lessons I’ve learned in naturopathic school, I launched Naturally Me by Melody. My mission was clear: to create natural, effective skincare and hair care products that would help others feel confident in their skin, too. Unlike many mainstream products packed with harsh chemicals, my formulations are made with 100% natural ingredients that are locally sourced, vegan, and free from parabens, sulfates, and artificial fragrances. They’re gentle on even the most sensitive skin, and they’re never tested on animals.

​

Achieving clear skin isn’t always about erasing every imperfection; sometimes, it’s about learning to embrace the beauty that lies in your own skin. Through my struggles with acne and hyperpigmentation, I’ve learned that true beauty comes from within—especially when we take the time to nurture our bodies with care and intention. If you’re like me and have battled stubborn skin problems, I invite you to join me on this journey to healthier, more radiant skin. With the right products and the right mindset, we can face the world with our best face, together.
