I distinctly remember when I got my first pimple. I was eleven years old, and it was two days before my school photos. After that first zit appeared, many followed, and by the time I reached my teens, I was suffering from embarrassing acne. Over the years I tried all kinds of 'remedies'.
It’s hard enough having acne on a day to day basis but to be an actress and to have your face on television every week - that made it even worse! There's only so much that make-up can cover, and so the whole world got to see my bad skin back then! I was so distressed over my regular, horrible breakouts, that I'd be in tears most mornings while getting ready for filming. My make-up artist was faced with the daily challenge of not only covering all my pimples, but also having to fix up my puffy eyes. The wonderful crew I was working with were often trying to re-light, and shoot around my bad skin, too. It was horrible.
It wasn't until I was in my mid 20's that I made the revolutionary discovery of Proactiv Solution. I'm pretty much a sceptic when it comes to stuff you buy off the television, and it was unlike me to respond to a commercial and pick up the phone, but hey, I'd tried everything else, so I gave it a shot. I figured if it didn't work for me I could still get my money back, so I had nothing to lose, right?
Within two weeks of using Proactiv Solution, my skin had cleared up dramatically - no lie! My make-up artist at work was incredibly impressed (and also somewhat relieved not to have to try to cover my bad skin). Everyone was asking what I was doing to bring about such an improvement, and they were shocked to discover it was the "stuff you buy off television". Since then, I've used Proactiv regularly and, for over four years now, it's been the only thing I use on my skin. It’s affordable, easy, and it's hands-down the best and only product that's ever effectively cleared up my skin.
No one realises how huge it is for me when they compliment me on my flawless skin. When you've had acne, all you want is a beautiful, clear complexion. And, now, I finally have it - all thanks to Proactiv. I've been so happy with the results I've had, I've often recommended it to friends and, sometimes, when I see someone in the street who might benefit from Proactiv like I have, I feel like stopping them and telling them about it. Now, instead, I get to tell all of Australia!
I've always promised myself that I'll never endorse something I don't truly believe in. I can honestly say that I completely believe in Proactiv Solution- I've been using it twice a day without fail for over four years, and it really works.
