Paula Begoun - she is awesome!
I struggled with bad acne for YEARS until I read her books. Once I followed her advice, I hardly ever get a pimple anymore! Maybe one small one a month, tops!
Over the years I tried oral antibiotics, topical antibiotics, peels, extractions, Retin-A, etc. Nothing worked. Dermatologists could offer no help. I noticed that in more recent years all the dermatologists that I would visit would try and peddle expensive skin care lines to me. I tried several, and they all turned my skin into raw hamburger and made everything worse! I later learned that they receive a nice kick-back for the prodcuts that they sell. I also later found out that most dermatologists receive no training in cosmetic usage. They mainly focus on giving you medicine to cure a problem. The problem is that if you are putting a bunch of bad products on your skin, it will negate what they are trying to do for you with the medicine! It becomes a vicious cycle.
I cannot recommend Paula Begoun's books, advice and products highly enough. I have saved literally thousands of dollars since I found her website.
Even if you have OK skin, I would suggest VEHEMENTLY that you read her books. They are eye openers and wow have I learned a lot! Most of what we learn as women from magazines and cosmetic counters is garbage - utter nonsense with no scientific backing.
Since following her advice, my skin GLOWS! My skin condition has improved. I not only am acne-free, but my skin is radiant, soft, supple and in balance (not dry or overly oily). I receive compliments all the time on how pretty my skin is. I could cry typing this - I used to be so ashamed of my skin and constantly was checking to see if my zits were adequately covered up. I am 30 years old, and I get asked all the time what High School I go to! LOL
If you want to prevent wrinkles - wear a hat, put on sunscreen EVERY day, care for your skin gently and forget the wrinkle creams - they don't work. They are a bunch of hooey and a waste of your money.
Visit her site, buy her books - I have never known anyone who followed her advice to be unhappy! www.cosmeticscop.com
