Do you ever get that feeling…

When you get up in the morning and look in the mirror to put your make-up on, and you think the best thing to do would be to put a paper bag over your head because no amount of make-up is going to hide all that acne?

Or…

When you walk past a cute guy and hide behind your hair because he’d be disgusted if he saw the minefield of spots on your face?

Or…

When someone gets their camera out at a party and you shrink back into the crowd because you can’t bear there to be any lasting evidence of the state of your skin?

HONEY, I HEAR YA! AND I’M HERE FOR YA!

 I’ve been there…

I know how difficult it is to wake up every morning and not like what you see when you look in the mirror.

That was me for so many years. 

I know how embarrassing and emotionally crippling a skin condition such as acne, eczema or psoriasis can be, and I’ll be honest, it took me a long time to come to terms with my skin and arrive at a place in my life where I feel I can actually share my story.

I’ve pretty much battled with acne for most of my life since puberty. I tried so many off-the-shelf products that my toiletries cupboard looked like a Chemists’ stockroom. Nothing seemed to work. A lot of the products just dried my skin out, which may have helped with the spots, but the dry and flaky patches looked just as bad.
