How a busy teacher easily "erased" her acne, dramatically "down-sized" her broken capillaries, and reduced wrinkles within days …
The first things I would like to say is that Angela is both friendly and personable and professional. These factors make her very easy to work with. She responded to any contact I made both quickly and informatively, and, as she promises on her website, offered me a lot more than the usual: drink lots of water and wear sunscreen.
The reason I was attracted to her program in the first place was its focus on using only naturally occurring things (as opposed to chemically created things) on your skin, and in your diet. She was true to this throughout, and though it may mean some changes in your lifestyle, I firmly believe that as a result of her inside – out policy, you will reap the benefits not only of more beautiful skin, but also of a healthier lifestyle.
To tell you my story: As a teenager, I suffered with quite bad acne. This had pretty much disappeared by my late teens / early twenties, but I was left with skin that was very prone to whiteheads. It was usually only one or two, but most weeks I would have a whitehead somewhere on my face or neck at some point during the week.
What bothered me more was the premature aging I saw evidence of in the lines and wrinkles around my eyes and the broken capillaries on my cheeks and nose. All this while I was still in my twenties! I believed, and still do, that this was a result of overexposure to strong UV rays, following a move to Nagano in Japan after graduating.
Due to communication difficulties, I just did not realize how strong and potentially harmful the UV in the area I am based were until it was too late. Around 6 years later, after finally waking up to this fact, I wanted to halt the premature aging process and, if possible, go some way to reversing it.
Until then, I had only used a jojoba oil moisture cream on my face, but, on the advice of friends, I started to wear commercial make up products with sunscreen to protect my skin from the sun.
Although these helped protect me from UV and made my skin look good while they were on (because they cover up a multitude of sins), I noticed that they did nothing to reverse the effects of the premature aging that had taken place so far, and I was also worried about the amount of chemicals that I was putting on my skin.
I looked into the possibility of anti-wrinkle serums on the Internet, but was soon put off by the price. Also, with so many products to choose from, it is impossible to know which actually work and are worth putting your money in. It was at this stage that I typed "natural ways to reduce wrinkles" into a search engine, and found the magical skincare kingdom.
Due to experiencing some difficulties in getting hold of some of the foods required for the eating plan, since I live in Japan, I started off by using just the external skincare routine until some of the food I ordered online came.
Although my acne wasn't a huge problem to start with, within a few days I had noticed that any whiteheads I did get seemed to dry out and go away quicker than previously.
Furthermore, the area under my eyes seemed to be tighter and firmer and I thought that my wrinkles were slightly less noticeable. And it wasn't just me who thought so! A friend who knew I had been trying various things to reduce my wrinkles commented that she thought my eyes looked much more wrinkle-free, too.
I was delighted to have such a degree of success so quickly and painlessly. However, my problems with permanent purple shadows under my eyes and broken capillaries on my cheeks didn't seem to show any improvement during this time.
When I managed to get all the necessary ingredients together I embarked on the eating plan, whilst continuing with the external skincare routine, taking heed of any adjustments made by Angela following my feedback to her. Although I was unable to follow the waiting times perfectly due to the demands of my working schedule, and sometimes only left 2 instead of 3 hours between eating different food groups, I still noticed significant improvements very quickly.
In under a week my skin was clear, with no whiteheads to be seen anywhere. Furthermore, the eating plan seemed to be the key to diminishing the purple shadows underneath my eyes.
I woke every morning to see skin that looked radiant and healthy before I had even washed my face! The only area in which I am seeking to improve further is my broken capillaries, but I've noticed they are less pronounced now.
I have read somewhere that the only cure for these is prevention in the first place, which is not very encouraging, but I hope that by consistently following the eating and skincare routines, these too will completely clear up in the future.
With only a few simple changes to my skincare routine and, slightly more difficult to integrate into my lifestyle but still by no means impossible, changes to my eating routines it was possible to achieve more youthful-looking skin in a matter of days.
And, as an added bonus, although buying organic can be expensive (especially here), the savings on skincare products is incredible. Even for someone like me, who only used basic make up in the first place. I really do believe that this holistic and natural approach to improving your complexion is the way to go.
If you' re reading this and feeling skeptical about whether it would work for you or not, the only thing I have to say is: you won't know until you try it. You've got nothing to lose. It's going to save you money on your regular skincare routine and, even if it doesn't work for your skin, you'll still have invested in a week of eating better and, as a result, feel better, too.
Not to mention there is a strong money back guarantee. But, I can pretty much guarantee you, though, that your skin will be looking better, too. Give it a go and be prepared to be amazed at the difference in the way you feel and look. Julia Greef |
