Hi, I go by Heenz and I am the author of The Dirty Glow Up.

For years, I struggled with painful cystic acne that left me feeling insecure and overwhelmed. I tried everything, from drugstore fixes to ProActiv (which worked, but only while I used it religiously). The moment I stopped ProActiv? My skin would spiral. It did me dirty! It was so bad at times that I dreaded going out in public. I could feel people staring, and it felt like the first thing anyone noticed about me was my skin.

Eventually, I went on Accutane, and while it cleared my acne, it left me with another challenge: dry, flaky, sensitive skin. That’s when my next skincare chapter began, not just fighting breakouts, but learning how to repair my skin barrier and bring out that hydrated glow.

Since then, I’ve been on a mission to restore my skin from the inside out. I’ve tested countless products, visited dermatologists, and followed skincare pros online. Many of the recommendations I share are derm-approved and truly worked for me. People started asking what I use, what my routine is, and so here I am, sharing everything.

But here’s the thing: I believe a real glow-up is about more than just what you put on your face. It’s also about your diet, your energy, your mindset, your movement — it’s your overall vibe! Skincare is one part of it, but I’m just as excited to explore all the other rituals and habits that make you feel like your best self.

So if you’re ready to ditch what does you dirty and glow from the inside out, I’m so here for you! ✨
