Founder, Chanelle Rae’s Story
Hi! My name is Chanelle Rae and I’m the founder of Au’Naturelle. While in college I dealt with severe acne on my face, back, chest and minor eczema which led to hyperpigmentation and dark scars. I visited doctors to help and was prescribed different topical medications to reduce symptoms. The medication brought temporary relief, but never solved the issue. It felt like once a breakout went away, here came another one! While in college I would intentionally keep my back, shoulders and chest covered. Not to mention wear hats to cover the severe acne on my face. I soon started my natural skin and hair journey, which led me to discover herbs and plant based solutions to increase skin and hair health. After research and testing, I found remedies to heal my dark spots from acne and soothe sensitive, eczema prone dry skin.
Today, my skin is not perfect (there’s no such thing), but it is healthier! And most importantly I’ve grown to love myself and my skin & hair in every stage. I changed my perspective to visualize skin & hair care as a journey instead of a dreaded task. I didn’t give our brand the name ‘Au’Naturelle’ as a way to tell you don’t wear makeup (I love my makeup too), but makeup comes off and loving your au’naturelle self comes first.
