Blog: Skincare with Mary--How It All Started

To those who don't know me, I have had acne my whole life. I have been allergic to the medications that typically treat acne and didn't figure this out until well into my teenage years. Needless to say, many a harsh chemical and treatment were prescribed to me with little to no effect or severe worse reactions that outweighed the benefits (if any). Little did I know at a young age I had so many allergies to topical agents that these would likely do more damage than good!

I thought this life-long problem was going to stick with me forever in a very severe way. (And at 38 now, I can say, it still hadn't gone away!) However, in the down economy, while looking for a job since I had been laid off 5 years ago after going back to school for my employer to achieve art director status (I'm a graphic designer by trade)... something new came into my life and has changed it forever. While skincare may not have been my number one choice for a new career move... it has resonated with me in a way I never thought possible. I am now given the opportunity help people like myself who never thought they could have clear, beautiful skin and the confidence that goes along with it.

So this is where my journey begins. Take a look at my own before/after photos just using calming products designed for rosacea, eczema and psoriasis along with other senstitive skin issues. Who knew that my sensitive skin could be healed and acne gotten rid of with a topical treatment I wasn't allergic to!?!? I'm so excited and couldn't be more jazzed about being able to help others look and feel their best. I hope you enjoy my tips and advice on this sometimes embarassing, sensitive topic!
