Jade Coyne - Fresh Face Formula

I posted this recently, and it wasn’t received the way I intended by everyone 🙄

Some assumed the top photo was the ‘before’, an easy mistake if you’re not familiar with the trend. YES/BUT actually shows ‘yes’ as the end result, and ‘but’ as where you began, the struggle.

But regardless of the trend, it got me thinking about how blurred the lines are between health and beauty.

In the comments I got: ‘how do I get the after? I need my neck slimmed! She’s taken weight loss injections.’

So I’m posting it again to clarify the actual difference.

This is not a weight loss transformation.
It’s the opposite.

The bottom photo is the ‘before’, taken when I was thinner than I’d ever want to be. I was deep in grief, overworking, heartbroken, at the lowest point of my life, processing my dad’s su***de. I didn’t get the puffy, moon-face look so many accounts link to high cortisol. I got smaller and smaller.

What’s actually different:
Me now (top): fuller cheeks, healthier skin barrier, no more perioral dermatitis, more colour, less hollowing under the eyes, dark circles gone, softer collarbones and neck, more life behind the eyes.

Worth noting, the top is a video screenshot and I wasn’t posing or lengthening my neck like in the bottom, so it’s not a perfectly fair comparison. But the pattern still stands.

We’ve been taught to read ‘thinner’ and ‘gaunt’ as the goal. In my journey it couldn’t be more wrong. Look closer, past the weight, and you’ll see the signs.

Sadness behind the eyes. A forced smile. Dark circles. Sunken eyes. Loss of volume around the mouth. Collarbones and neck tendons more prominent rather than toned.

This isn’t to pick myself apart. I simply wasn’t in a good state of health, mentally, physically or emotionally, and that impacts how you look.

Your health and how you feel inside should be the measure of beauty, not how slim your face looks or how sharp your jawline is.

Because nothing is more beautiful than feeling at home in your own skin. Not a stranger in it.

I’m curious…which one do you think looks healthier? Can you see the subtleties of wellness in my face compared to stress? Let me know 👇🏼

For the record…this isn’t a glow up. This is what it looks like to rebuild a nervous system that forgot how to feel safe, and become the woman who knows how to hold herself through anything. If you’re still in it, you will too 🤍

The practice that held me through the darkest time of my life, and a place where women come together with one goal in mind: to take better care of themselves 🤍

Fresh Face Formula was born out of a horrible nightmare, and has now given me the most fulfilling job I could ever dream of. What a gift to come out of something so, so…sh*t.

When my Dad took his life in 2021, my world shattered into a million pieces, and I had to figure out a way to process that and continue living.

And what I needed more than anything was to rebuild a sense of safety.

In order to not just survive, but eventually thrive, I realised how critical nervous system regulation was, and how so many of us, regardless of our life’s challenges, are living in a state of survival.

When challenges come our way it’s so easy to get stuck here. To run from emotions that are too big to even comprehend, to keep pushing through when we know we need to rest, to rest and then feel guilty or too uncomfortable to stay still, we doom scroll, we binge tv, we get productive, all because the present moment doesn’t feel safe to us anymore.

And over time that leads to dis-ease, and that level of stress hormones coursing through our bodies is debilitating, unhealthy, and it is a miserable place to be.

Fresh Face Formula is a way to shift out of survival mode, and into balance. Using face massage as a form of healing touch, and deep physical release, while simultaneously teaching your body that it’s safe to slow down.

And the result is not only a sense of relief, more clarity, self-trust, and calm. It’s also a brighter, more lifted face, because the two are intrinsically connected, a more relaxed nervous system means a more relaxed face.

The FFF is not something I can even begin to describe. It’s something you have to experience. It’s pure magic. It’s a way back home. It’s peace. It’s deep relief. It’s contentment. It’s self-trust. It’s empowerment. It’s safety. It’s healing.

It’s everything I needed, and now it’s here for you too.

And I can’t wait for you to experience it’s magic too ✨💆🏻‍♀️
