I didn’t start having a problem until I was probably 13, 14.
When I got the acne it just made me feel like I had no self-esteem, like I didn’t want to go to the shops to go shopping. I felt like a thousand eyes were looking at me. It just made me feel really, really down, like I wasn’t pretty. And I like to feel like I’m happy and it just didn’t make me feel happy at all.
It was on my mind 24 hours a day. Wake up in the morning and I just felt like a, a new pimple had just popped up overnight. And I just thought to myself, when’s this going to end? It just felt like it was going on forever and it was just really sore. I was that embarrassed with my acne, if my husband was at home with me, when I woke up in the morning on a Sunday, I would get up out of bed, rush to the bathroom, put on my foundation on my face, cover it all up before my husband saw it. I was that embarrassed for anyone to see it.
When I first heard about Proactiv, I saw it on the TV, and I thought to myself, there is no way in the world that this stuff is going to work. Proactiv was in my mind. I thought maybe it does. I thought, I might give it a go. I visited my cousin and we were flicking through a magazine, came across the catalogue for it and my cousin and I were talking about it and she said, “Well why don’t you give it a go, Donna? You got your money back guarantee. If it doesn’t work, at least you’ve tried it.”
When I came home from holidays, first thing I did was order the Proactiv. When I got it in the mail I did the three day skin test – everything was fine. And within probably one or two weeks I noticed the difference. Just the, the feel, it just felt soft. My face felt soft within one or two weeks and I thought this stuff’s going to work.
I would say to any Mums, adults, anyone that’s got the idea in their head thinking that they might give Proactiv a go – give it a go. Because I wish that I did it before I bought a lot of over-the-shelf products. Try Proactiv first. It has a money back guarantee. It can help. Proactiv worked for me, it helped my skin feel beautiful again.
