Ambassador, AJ, shares her lifelong battle with acne on her arms, face and back.

Hi I’m AJ and I want to tell you about my skin. I’m 34 and have always had teenage skin. I couldn’t understand why I had spots on my back, arms and face when no one else had. I even had them in primary school!

Spots really do affect people and I’ve always been quite self-conscious about my skin – I used to hate going on holiday because it meant I couldn’t wear make-up every day. The only positive that’s really come out of it is that I really do like wearing make-up!

Despite my love of make-up, I’m always looking for something that will reduce my spots and fade my scars.

I’m lucky enough to have a husband and children who don’t care about my skin and just see me for who I am, which has helped boost my confidence.

But for a lot of years now, I have always been looking for a solution for my spots.

I’ve seen Dermatologists who have given me many different creams, which have often just dried out my skin and not smelt very pleasant at all. I’ve been prescribed antibiotics which never made much of a difference.

The acne on my back has always been a problem for me – and finding something that worked for that. When I was younger I was told I would grow out of it, but I never did.

I’m also very hormonal, so I get quite a lot of spots around my chin and on my neck. I’ve always felt very self-conscious about them and even used to wear a scarf constantly. I still had acne during my pregnancies with my two young children, and I just started to feel really disheartened that my skin still hadn’t cleared up.

I then came across an advert for 47 Skin on Instagram and it seemed to have helped a lot of people, so I decided to give it a go, and I’m so glad that I did!

I’ve been using it for 4 months now and my skin is the healthiest it’s ever been. The spots have all but disappeared. I still get some during that time of the month, but they’re no where near as big or vicious as they were before.

The Anti-blemish & Scar Repair Serum makes my skin feel smooth and has even sorted out my dry skin. It’s reduced the inflammation and redness, and when I do get a spot, it is smaller and around for a lot less time!

I’ve had so many compliments about how my skin looks – even my husband, who never notices anything about my skin, has commented that he loves how happy it’s made me!

The amount of selfies I’m doing has shot up and I’m definitely wearing a lot less make up – (which perhaps is a slightly negative thing, because I actually quite enjoy wearing make-up!)

I accidentally found 47 Skin like they accidentally found the solution to my skin problem. I really do insist you go and try it – it has this lovely citrus flavour that makes you so happy when you put it on your face. What’s the worst that can happen? Give it a go!
