Some
of you may already have known about the facial disaster that I went through at
the start of the year 2015. For those of you who did not know about it, well, let
me briefly recount what happened.
December
29, 2014 was my worst day ever! I woke up looking very hideous coz acne
appeared all over my face. I wasn’t an acne-prone person to start with. You
might think that I am exaggerating about my feelings about this but seriously,
I felt miserably depressed during those times.
I started
to feel bad about myself, I covered, I was ashamed, I pitied myself and I lost
all confidence that I have. I even refused to look at the mirror. Whenever I
wash my face, I wanna sob coz I could feel the rough skin caused by acne.
I
never ever want to feel that feeling again.
It
took about 2 months of suffering until I decided to search for products that
could at least lessen the acne. I learned about Prestige Skincare Solutions
which is endorsed by my social media friend, Matthew Ponce.
And
so, with prayers, I ordered the Rejuvenating set.

The
products arrived in the mail and I was excited to receive it. It came with all
products beautifully set in a purple pouch which I actually did not expect. I
opened the pouch and the smell was tempting. It smelled sooo good. I don’t know
if Matt sprayed perfume on it or something. But it smelled damn good.
It
also came with a sheet of how to use the products which I was surprised and happy about.
ABOUT THE PRODUCTS
The
set includes:
1
bar Kojic Soap (135 g)
1
Rejuvenating Toner (60 ml)
1
Rejuvenating Cream
1
Sunblock Gel with SPF 30
At
first, I did not use the Kojic Soap coz I think kojic is too harsh for the
skin. But I gave in and tried it after a few days.
I
clean my face with my regular facial wash then start applying the toner. I
think the toner reacted to my acne coz it hurts a bit when applying. I texted
Matt and he assured me that it is completely a normal reaction if you have
severe acne but the burning sensation must fade in seconds.
He
advised me to apply the toner while facing an aircon or electric fan to
lessen the burning sensation. Surprisingly, it did. It did not burn anymore.
Then
I applied the rejuvenating cream. Matt told me that I should apply just a small
amount of the product so as not to burn my skin. Sorry, I didn't have a picture of the rejuvenating cream.
In
the morning, I would apply the sunblock gel to protect my face from the UV rays.
It’s very jelly but once you applied it on your face, it feels natural already.
THE RESULT
After
2 nights of using the products, I noticed there was micro peeling and little
redness that gave me a pinkish skin which honestly looked pretty well. I
stopped using it for 2 days as written on the instruction sheet. It was when I
noticed that the pimples started to heal, redness minimized and I was starting to
have a brighter skin.
It
didn’t abruptly make the pimples disappear but it was a very very good start
for me.
