About Lyn

Welcome and thank you for stopping by Love my Body, an all natural skincare line under ElCeeJay LLC founded by Lyn C. Johnson.

 At the age of 57, I am beginning the best chapter of my life stepping into what I believe is the most fulfilling time of my life. Despite my lifelong love for creativity and the arts, I veered onto a different path, focusing on my career and raising my four incredible children.

However, about eight years ago, I was diagnosed with Lupus, which plunged me into a dark place. I grappled with feelings of inadequacy and depression, often questioning, "Why me, Lord?" Lupus brought with it physical changes such as altered hair texture, hair loss, and changes in my skin, further exacerbating my struggles.

In the past year, I made a conscious decision to stop wallowing and start reclaiming my life. I realized that while I poured my love and care into others, I neglected to do the same for myself. It was time to redirect that love inward, to rediscover my passions for art, cooking, and self-care, and to learn to love and appreciate myself.

Thus began my journey towards self-love and self-care. I started speaking affirmations over myself, getting reacquainted with who I truly am. One aspect I scrutinized was the skincare products I used, suspecting that their additives and chemicals might be exacerbating my Lupus symptoms. My skin was dry, lackluster, and prone to peeling, which I despised.

Driven by a desire for healthier alternatives, I delved into researching natural, plant-based butters and oils. Experimenting in my kitchen, I formulated a remarkable body butter. The difference it made to my skin within a week was astonishing.
