Professional esthetician here

Tuesday, March 21st, 2006

I would like to reintroduce myself, my name is Joani Skaare and I am
a licensed Master Esthetician. I was involved with this group a few
months back but had a baby and took some time off. Sorry for anyone
I had been talking to our there as I changed internet providers and
lost all of my contacts. Anyway, I wanted to reintroduce myself and
offer anyone skin care advice that wants it.

I do have to chuckle at some of the postings in regards to what
works and what doesn’t work. I have had several years treating acne
and am pretty confident I can help. I also have a firmer grasp on
the internal issues that account for the acne as well; more so just
recently.

My background is over 14 years in the business, with experience with
over 14 different skin care companies. I have had my own practice

Hi Maya!

I too, did have problems taking antibiotics. Well Everyone told me Accutane was
a wonderful antibiotic and it worked so perfect. Its all wrong.

About the Vitamin A Tablets I use. Its not 30 IU. Its ‘30.000 IU.’ Chewable
dragees. One Tablet a day.

Higher Doses of Vitamin A are not good for you if your pregnant. Just writing
this down incase if anyone forgets!

I really don’t know why people say stay away from the sun. However I guess
everyone has different types of Skin. However the SUN has seriously helped my
skin. It dried out my spots. Now due to winter, I do not get to see the
sunshine, my skin does not sweat and therefore when my spots started again, I

Thanks for those tips Reema!!! As someone who also went down the antibiotic
road, I have to completely agree with you, they ruin your body. As a matter of
fact, I had to be hospitalized several years ago over them (more specifically
acromycin and sumycin). So, unless its life or death, the three of us will never
cross paths again. I also took accutane, and after a couple of months, my
hipjoints began to hurt, and the skin on the limbs of the left side of my body
began to get this horrible crawling sensation. So, I quit accutane when that
began to occur. And as a matter of fact, I just experienced that "crawling"
again, and its been over 7 months since I stopped taking it.

One quick question about the vitamin A if you don’t mind; did you mean 30 IU or
30,000 IU? I think I may want to try that, and see if its a good topical
alternative (liquid capsules of course ;) )

This is true, antibiotics are horrible for your body in general.

This is the reason that I have put the website for all natural and botanical
products up. The thing with makeup is the chemicals in the majority of it. It
doesn’t allow your skin to breathe.

Alot of products out there contain animal byproducts, mineral oil, and are not
pH balanced for your skin removing the acid mantel that protects the skin.
Please check out this site if you missed it.

I have tried everything!!! And when I say everything, I means EVERYTHING!?! I
was actually introduced to a website from another person at Acne Tips, and have
started using their products. They are all natural and botanical with NO
CHEMICALS!?! It is the first time my face has been clear along with my back and
arms in over 7 years. I know a few of the others on Acne Tips have tried it
too, and they are all getting great results with it! The website is:

Hello

I used Lots of Antibiotics from the age of 16 to 20. It did not work. IT only
worked when I was ‘Using’ Them. When I stopped using them, My face flared up
with zits again. I have used Erythromycin, Tetracycline, and The BEST ONE OF ALL
as people say ‘ROACCUTANE’

Antibiotics can Ruin your body and It only works just for a TIME.

From the past 4 months, After work, I come home and wash off my make up and I
use Aloe Vera Oil all evening unless I’m not going outside or something. I am
using a Vitamin E cream on my face before I go to bed too. It REALLY helped my
skin.

I have been taking Vitamin A Tablets. Chewable Dragees. 30.000 IU. One Tablet

Natural Acne Treatment

I have had alot of requests for the website on where to order the all natural
and botanical acne skin program. I talked with the board owner, and she gave me
permission to post the site. Alot of those that have asked me about it, have
also tried and said it is working for them. After suffering from acne for
several years, I will never use try anything else again. This stuff really
works, and is worth every penny!

Super Oily skin after using ProActiv

Friday, March 17th, 2006

Sometimes when you use an new acne product and it’s dying to the skin, when you
first begin to use it, your skin overcompensates by producing even more oil to
replace the oil being stripped off by the product. So in my experience, it could
be that the product is too harsh for your skin and maybe you can cut down on how
many times a day you use it or in time your skin will get used to it and balance
out. I used ProActiv for a while too and it did the same thing to me but I just
cut back how often I used it and it did take several months but problem of more
oil on my skin did stop. Good luck!

Help!! I was using ProActiv for about 2 mos and found it to be
great, but a little drying, so I cut back to just the lotion. It was working
really well, but then a couple weeks ago I started to notice that my nose and
forehead have been extremely oily. And last week I started to get very small
pimples on my nose (which I never get) and forehead, and they won’t go away! Has
anyone else ever experienced
