Hey guys,
I am not to shy to confess that I suffer from acne, I have suffered from my acne since high school, It worsened around HSC time and has never got back to the way that it was before.
Im not one to complain of my skin, but it does bring me down and make me feel very insecure.
Im sure like many of you out there, I have tried most of the medicated skin care products, all the cleanser's on the shelf and a hand full of home remedies (I consider myself quiet the wizard, when it comes to creating home remedies).
However, 1 problem always existed... That was that nothing ever worked.
I had always been skeptical about facials as I heard that it just made you break out (those words being my biggest fear) so, I had always avoided the idea.
After speaking to the beautician she told me I was essentially doing everything wrong and told me of my neglect. It was a real shock, well not really, because my skin isn't great, but I wasn't expecting to hear that my skin was congested, dry (because I moisturise like nobodies business) and various other skin terms I hadn't heard.
Being a glass half empty type of person when It comes to my clear skin success. I had a closed mind to her comments but decided to invest in the products she recommended because honestly Im at my whits end.
I purchased the products from the brands EmerginC and Dermalogica
both of which i hadnt considered to that day, probably due to their price tag. But after using it for 2 weeks now I have to admnit that Im a fan.
I mean it hasn't essentially got rid of my acne completely, as that is something I have to deal with hormonely but the redness, dryness and irritation of the pimple and my skin itself has decreased. I have seen a change in the length of time the pimple takes to go and an effect on scarring. I have sensitive skin so i scar easy, but these products have decrease the aggression of the pimple.
I am happy to share them with you! :)

I would highly recomment these products if you have dry but oily skin thats very acne prone. I would too recommend a visit to a trusted beautician, I went to SpaBar on Pitt St in the Sydney City. They were great. A beautician can actually educate you on what you actually need and specifically for you :)
Stay FAB everyone.
I hope this helps :)
