TALKING VENUS :: Beware of face creams! ::

A lot of my clients are walking in with so many different skin problems that some times I freak-out. The other day I had this client who used to come to me and I always admired her glowing clear complexion. It was so flawless that once I even asked her if she was wearing any base and she washed her face in front of me just to prove that she wasn’t.
The next time she came was after some six months and believe me I couldn’t recognize her as her complexion had gotten much darker. I think dull is the right word and then she had a lot of acne marks along with some big ugly pimples and who won’t freak-out when they see someone with such bad skin condition, especially when previously she was blessed with flawless skin. I just couldn’t help prying and asked her why her complexion had gotten so bad. The girl literally began to cry.
She said that a year ago one of her friends had told her to start using four creams (the names of which she told me) by mixing them together and applying them on her face and neck every night before going to bed. Initially she was so happy with the amazing results that she continued this treatment. Everyone praised her flawless complexion, and I was one of them. Thus she continued the application till the time she turned so artificially fair that she had to stop using it for a couple of days to get back her normal complexion instead of having a white face. And that was the time when her problems started.
Her face was all dull with no natural glow and the complexion was even darker than her natural one. She had developed an acne problem which later turned into a fungal infection and after getting treatment for a long time, eventually doctors suggested she get a chemical peal and skin drafting. Trust me guys both the treatments are as scary as their names suggest. Before going through them she came to me to get my opinion too. I told her to follow her doctor’s advice. I was so scared to see her condition that I did not want her to think of any other option which could create further problems.So girls --- please! My request is that whatever complexion you have, it will look really nice if you have healthy naturally glowing skin, so it’s better to stick with daily cleansing and toning rather than going for an overnight beauty treatment. Eat healthy and drink a lot of water and trust me every one will compliment you!
