“There are not enough words to describe how incredible Nicole from the Floating Lotus is. Her knowledge and persistence has changed my life. That may seem dramatic but it’s not. For many years I struggled with horrendous acne & no dermatologist could help me. My sister recommended Nicole and I decided to give it a try & it was the best decision I have made. Through team work and persistence I am now acne free!
She is simply the best and I HIGHLY recommend her for all your skin care needs!”
