Getting A Glowing Smooth Skin Without Breaking The Bank
Does your confidence go for a toss at the sight of a blemish? You are not alone. Many women experience low confidence due to these imperfections on the skin. However, there are a lot of treatments available to manage blemishes. But before that, you need to be aware of your skin.
- Do you want to be free of acne and pimples?
- Do you want to get rid of blackhead, whitehead and dark spots?
- Do you want to have a smooth glowing skin?
- Would you like to look younger and be admired by all?
- Do you want to maintain your glowing skin without using chemical based cosmetics?
If you answered “Yes”, to any of these questions, then this will be the most important message you ever read.
Here’s why.
I’ve had moderate acne since I was about age 12 or 13. At first I didn’t think too much of it. Until one day in art class, a friend was staring at my nose. She pointed to her nose, and kept staring at mine. So I wiped at my nose, thinking she was letting me know there was something on me, but she shook her head and said something along the lines of “you have a huge zit”. And I thought, seriously? People notice this stuff and just bring it up out of nowhere? So I started wearing cheap makeup. I had no idea how bad it would be for my skin.
My acne got worse in my 20’s when I got into the University. I felt ugly without my caked-on makeup. I was buying expensive heavy make-up to use on my face. I felt very fake, but I didn’t know what else to do because I felt like the real me was sad and sickly. After University my skin absolutely blew up, and I became covered in acne. All sorts, with many cysts along my jawline, beside my ears, along my temples, on my neck.
I hid behind my hair and thick cake makeup. I always had popped my acne in the past and I continued to do so… I looked like a pizza with the cheese ripped off. I tried to tell myself it wasn’t that noticeable, but the first day I pulled back my hair and looked at my skin without makeup on in the natural lighting…. I probably will never forget that image.

Good News!!! There Is A Solution
I continued living with this problem till my early 30s, I tried every remedy that I could think of, but still my situation was getting worse. I can never go out without makeup. At times I only go out in the night. It began to affect my life, it was affecting my love life. My boyfriend got tired of my condition and broke up with me. I was very dejected.
I came across an old course mate whose face was worse than mine back then in school, I was surprised when I saw her with a smooth glowing face. I asked her how she was able to achieve that.
She introduced me to a beautician, I explained my condition to her, and then she told me about a solution that she advises her clients to use. She told me it was very safe and has no side effects as there are no chemical involved. I was very skeptical initially, been that I have tried all sorts of remedies. I decided to give it a try after all I had nothing to lose. After using it for the first two weeks, I noticed that my face began to clear. After using it for a month, my face has totally cleared. I can now go out without makeup. By the way am currently married with kids and my face is very glowingly smooth.
