[Skin Diary - Intro] April 28,2011


"Every person has different skin condition which may respond differently to products."

Flawless, smooth and unblemished skin, a dream of every woman suffering from acne. In commercials we only see those women with perfect skin. Its been a struggle to achieve for those born with oily skin. 
White heads, blackheads, acne, cystic acne, acne scars, inflamed acne are what I'm experiencing since I was in grade 4. With such skin condition its no wonder that people who experience it have low self esteem; feels depressed and frustrated. For me, acne has been one of my frustrations. The only way to feel confident is to cover up those acne with concealer and mineral face powder or undergo Acne Facial. You could say makeup has been my best friend when those special occasions comes up where you need to look your best. 


I've been to a lot of dermatologist as well as facial centers. I've tried a lot of treatments such as (1) Acne Facial (2) Acne Facial with advance mask and (3) Chemical Peel. I've tried a lot of products over the years namely (1) Betadine wash (light blue), (2) Lactacyd Liquid Antiseptic (Blue), (3) Flawless Acne Control Kit, (4) Glytone Acne treatment Kit, (5) Human Nature Aloe Vera & Guava FacialWash and (6) Benzoyl Peroxide gel. But still my skin hasn't found it's match.

I'm in a journey to looking for the best solution for my skin. Will I finally find it? Will I achieve my dream "flawless, smooth, unblemished skin" ?  Over the years, I just realized I've already spent a lot of money on skin treatments and products which only provide temporary relief and after 3 months is no longer effective since my skin became immune to it.

An officemate of mine undergone treatment using Nu skin Clear Action System. Although her skin condition was not as grave as mine. I've seen her skin dramatically cleared up over time. She no longer needs to wear make-up. This triggered my desire to also try and use Nu skin Action System.

Question & Answers
Is it true that when using a new system, acne may seem worse before it gets better?
Because the breakouts you see today actually began forming 2 weeks ago, you may continue to experience some breakouts during the first few weeks of treatment. The good news is that even if you experience breakouts when you begin your Nu Skin Clear Action regimen, you are preventing future breakouts and should begin to see your skin improve by the end of week two.
