Acne Out Six Week Review

ACNE OUT 6 WEEK REVIEW


I’ve  suffered with acne on my back, chest and chin since my teens.  I’ve used countless over the counter and prescribed treatments, which have cleared it temporarily to an extent but never completely. 
I had heard about Acne Out from lots of different people including Jennifer Rock, Tara  O ‘ Farrell.  Everyone who used it raved about it so I decided to pop into Biofresh in Swords at the start of September.


Me aged 21 when my acne was at it's very worst

Products:  

The Biofresh team recommend using the Acne Out Kit, the  Acne Out 30 day supplement and the Yogurt of Bulgaria Cleansing Milk and  Rosewater Toner

I also bought the Bellapierre  BB cream and was kindly gifted the Bellapierre Mineral Foundation and Glowing Palette to try.  Catherine Morgan, owner of the Biofresh  Swords and Drogheda stores recommends Bellapierre makeup for any of us with sensitive skin.  Bellapierre is kind to the skin, has very few ingredients and is non comedogenic (it won’t block your pores).

Week 1 of starting my new skin care routine

Routine:

In the mornings I cleansed my face with the probiotic cleanser, used the toner and the applied my Bellapierre BB cream and mineral makeup. 

In the evenings I cleansed and toned my face, then washed any acne prone areas with the Acne Out soap,  waited twenty minutes, applied the Acne Out lotion to my chin and neck, waited another twenty minutes and moisturised my face with the Acne Out moisturiser.

After about two weeks I started to notice a huge difference not only to my acne but to the overall appearance of my skin.  The cleanser and toner made my skin glow and the Acne Out products were certainly doing their job.

Week six, glowy goodness :)

Six weeks later my skin is the best it’s been since I was a child.  I get complemented all the time on how glowing it is!


If, like me, you struggle with acne, go see  the girls in Biofresh Swords or Drogheda and get yourself kitted out.  Acne Out is also available in most chemists and online.
Before and after, six weeks in the difference.

PhiBrows

Stroll into Eve-Ellen’s salon, For Your Eyes Only and you will be greeted with a smile.  Not only does the staff there do what they do better than anyone I’ve ever met, they do it with passion.  

Eve Ellen has been doing my eyebrows since she opened For Your Eyes Only three and a half years ago.  She’s shares my love for brows more than anyone else and there’s no one I trust more. 

For Your Eyes only has recently expanded due to how in demand Eve-Ellen and her team are.  They boast clients such as Tara Anderson and Suzanne Jackson.  Situated in The Stables in Portmarnock; the salon is beautiful, spotless and oh so cosy.  From the moment you walk in you’ll feel comfortable; safe in the hands of these wonderful professionals.

Recently, Nicola, completed a course in PhiBrows.  Relatively new to Ireland, PhiBrows are the latest in semi permanent microblading for eyebrows.  I had mine done and am loving the results.

The Process
On arrival, Nicola and Eve-Ellen took the time to map my own natural brow shape, tweaking it here and there before deciding on the final outcome and colour.  
Next I climbed up onto one of the salon’s lovely, cosy beds and got comfy!  Nicola then started the process which took approximately two hours.  It does sting but after the initial part is completed, Nicola adds numbing ointment which makes the rest of the procedure pain free.  
I was then given an after care sheet and some Tattoo Goo which needs to be applied regularly during the healing process.  

My next appointment is in five weeks time and then I’ll need a top up every twelve to eighteen months.  My before and after pictures speak for themselves I think!

For more information, pricing, or to book a consultation contact Eve-Ellen via her Facebook page.  Check out her Instagram and mine for even more before and after pictures!
