Glowing Skin

My Sensitive Skin Went from Dry & Uneven to Clear & Glowing after I Banned 1,500 Ingredients from My Daily Routine

---

Let me be honest and say I've never had great skin. There was a time when I was so unhappy with my skin that I didn't want to leave the house, and it really impacted my self-esteem. The thing is, when I was a teenager my skin was okay, but when I became an adult I started to get a lot of cystic and hormonal acne, particularly on my chin, cheeks, and forehead; they were big and painful and I could just never get rid of them.

That initial outbreak led to other skin problems - puffy eyes, early dark spots, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. Needless to say, as a 43-year young woman, I was emotionally and physically tired and embarrassed.

But not anymore…

Over the last couple of months, my skin has transformed from being dry, patchy, and red to glowing, smooth, and clear. For the first time in my life, I actually feel comfortable in my own skin.

Here is my story

When I was younger I didn't really think too much about my skin. It was maybe just a little uneven and rough, but nothing that really bothered me. When I was 19, I switched up my skincare and I went from doing basically nothing to doing too much. I started using a random 3-step skincare system from the drugstore. Clearly, I did not do any research because it really aggravated my skin. I didn't know it at the time, but I have sensitive skin, and the system I chose was too abrasive for me. One thing led to another, and I developed cystic acne, which was also particularly bad during that time of month. And what do you do when you break out? You layer on more products to try and make it go away – but this is the worst thing you can do.

The thing is, sometimes when you try a new product, you break out, and some people say that it's just everything coming out. This wasn't the case for me. What happened to me was that I was over-drying my skin, so my "sebaceous glands" went into overdrive producing tons of oil, making me break out into cystic acne, which was aggravated further by hormones. Testosterone levels increase during ovulation which stimulates increased oil production – just one more thing you can thank mother nature for!

The name of the brand caught my attention. They had thousands of raving reviews from women in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and even 70s, which was a rare sight. Their message was simple — that there was "no bad stuff" in their products — which is also what every other skincare brand says. This time, I did my research and I was pleasantly surprised.

Here is what I found — the F.D.A. (yes, the Food and Drug Administration) legally only bans 11 toxic ingredients, whereas No B.S. bans 1500 toxic ingredients.

Yes, you read that right! I was definitely intrigued. I scoured their website, and all the ingredients are written plain and simple, which makes it easy for you to understand their benefits.

Since they have a 30-day money-back guarantee, I ordered a whole set — the Rejuven8. It had everything a healthy 3-month skin care routine required:

• Foaming Cleanser
• Purifying Facial Toner
• Caffeine Eye Cream
• Vitamin C + E Serum
• Moisturizer w/ SPF 20
• Day + Night Hyaluronic Cream
• Retinol Night Cream
• Charcoal Detox Peel-Off Mask

The results were overnight — my redness reduced, my dark spots started to even out, my fine lines were less noticeable and my skin looked RADIANT.

My favorite 3 products are:

1. The Vitamin C + E Serum helps stimulate collagen production (goodbye, wrinkles!), but it also brightens tired skin and promotes an even complexion. It hydrated the dry spots of my combination skin, sped up the healing process of scars, and is formulated to discourage wrinkles over time.

2. The No B.S. foaming cleanser dissolves makeup and pore-clogging debris effortlessly WITHOUT drying out my sensitive skin. It moisturizes as it cleanses, infusing your skin with antioxidant protection against skin-damaging free radicals.

3. The No B.S. Retinol Night Cream is my absolute favorite. It helped heal my scars while promoting skin regeneration, not to mention my skin felt soft and supple in a matter of days.

I can't recommend their products enough. Whatever skin trouble you're going through, No B.S. provides a simple, clean, and healthy solution.
