My acne journey

My skin now...



Hello Everyone, today I wanted to speak to you about my acne journey and were I am today.

the above picture is how my skin is now.

I first came across the Obagi skincare range in 2016 in Belfast.

I was at a point of desperation and extremely insecure. I would not leave the house without makeup on, I couldn't stare at people in the eyes, I would always keep my head down and would avoid speaking to people.

before I sought out the help of a professional I tried every product on the shelf from Garnier to Nivea to Simple to St ives to the more expensive brands like Clinque, Pro active, Clarins, Estee lauder and the list goes on.

I would try every makeup on the shelf to every product nothing worked.

So I sought out the help of a professional skin care specialist.

Martina Collins Skin and dental clinic in Belfast.

I had booked In for a consultation and immediately I knew I was going to get the help I needed for my skin.

Martina was so nice extremely friendly and the atmosphere was welcoming and warm.

The staff were excellent and I was so happy to find someone I was comfortable to talking to about my skin.

immediately we got talking and she had recommended the Obagi Nu Derm 12 week program.

I took her advice and started in a few days later.

The Obagi Nu Derm system is a seven step system which works in the deep layers of the dermis to clear it within 12 weeks.

During the 12 weeks I noticed a big difference with my skin however I was still left with the scarring afterwards even though the skin had cleared.

I was advised to start the Obagi Blue Peel chemical peels. which I did and wow did my skin transform.

The Obagi blue peel retail at 75.00 GBP.

which wasnt overly expensive.

The chemical peel was timed at 5 minutes and all I had to do is wait.

Which was painful however I got through it.

I continued every 6 weeks to really resurface the skin with the skin peels.

Shortly after I started the Obagi Clenziderm skincare system and this is were I was really shocked at the results.

Obagi Clenziderm foaming cleanser is pacifically for acne and the treatment of acne.

it has 2 % of sacillyic acid in it which helps dry out pimples and remove access oil and build up of dirt of the skin. In conjunction with the Therapeutic moisturizer which has 20% of glycerin in it. Glycerin is a skin protectant designed to protect your skin from the weather and pollution. Weather can play havoc on the skin with redness and irritation and sensitivity.

I Have been using the Obagi Clenziderm for around 4 years and I refuse to use anything else .

It has completely cleared my skin up and has completely transformed my self esteem. which took quite a hit when the acne had started. I've been through trails also with my mental health and its been tough journey with my skin lasting 8 years altogether to find a solution. But I have and I'm glad to at its Obagi Clenziderm. I use Obagi foaming cleanser and moisturizer twice daily once in the morning and once at night to keep my acne at bay, and boy has it worked. I use warm water to open my pores then my Obagi Clenziderm Cleanser then cold water to close the pores. Then I apply my moisturizer afterwards. I would recommend before going through every product on the shelf for those out there that are suffering with acne please try Obagi Clenziderm skin care system. It will not only save you time but it will rebuild your self esteem for all that you have lost along the way.
