I met Miss Beccy Turner, aged 27, at a friend’s birthday party some time ago. I don’t remember exactly what happened that night, I blame the Cosmopolitans but before I knew what was going on, I was giving Miss Turner a bollocking from high heaven. Why one should never mix business with pleasure.
After speaking with Miss Turner that evening, it suddenly dawned on me… Why not gather all my experiences from the beauty industry and start a new section on my blog called “Clean Living” where I coach and guide my clients through the correct ways of beauty maintenance and a place where they get to share their personal journey with the rest of the world.
My dear friend Leigh Temple came up with the name for my idea “Clean Living” because we all know that REN is the Swedish word for CLEAN. Thanks my girl ‘-) better than “Applied Beauty 101″ ‘-)
The night I met Miss Turner.
.
What first drew my attention to Miss Turner was just how much make-up she had on. And most of my followers know that I am all about ‘Good Skin, Less Make-Up. Bad Skin, More Make-Up“. After speaking with Miss Turner, I invited her to come and sit in my “hot seat” and to discuss the issues and concerns about her skin.
Miss Turner’s first facial was in December ’12 at REN Skincare head office in Marylebone.
Once seated and comfortable. I started with the first phase and that was to remove Miss Turner’s heavy make-up. After removing the make-up with No.1 Purity Cleansing Balm I had a closer inspection on the skin to analyse the “state of condition” it was in while asking some thorough questions about her current skin program and lifestyle. After the first phase, I noticed just how angry and inflamed Miss Turner’s skin was, I thought it wise to treat the skin for how angry it looked and how deeply congested it was. For the facial, I mixed things up a bit. I used parts of the blemish prone range with the calming and soothing sensitive range from REN Skincare.
Hydra-Calm, Sensitive Range from REN Skincare.
.
ClearCalm 3, Blemish Prone Range from REN Skincare.
.
Once Miss Turner’s facial was done, I recommended her some products to take home and to use them until our next scheduled appointed facial.
Feedback from Miss Turner while doing her personalised prescribe skin program:
“I have poor skin quality and hormonal spot break outs around my chin and lower cheeks. Patchy skin that dries out mid morning and my make-up clogs up. I regularly have sun beds to help clear the spots but this has a negative effect too. Having cut out dairy, my skin and spots have become much less but the overall quality and tone of my skin is still very poor (having used all the chemicals etc to help clear up the spots has damaged my skin).
Products Shared:
- ClearCalm 3 Clarity Restoring Mask
- F10 Smooth and Renew Mask
- Omega 3 Night Repair Serum
- Hydra-Calm Global Protection Day Cream
- ClearCalm 3 Replenishing Night Serum
- Satin Perfection BB Cream (like a gift from the gods!!!!)
After the Facial: The facial was amazing! My skin was much more plump and soft. The pores are much smaller and the overall look of my skin is much glossier and healthier….
After the facial, the skin is left in a bit of a shocked state, as we have replaced chemicals for bio extracts. The skin is a little confused at this point especially after many years of continues use of chemicals,
.
Week one: I have noticed my skin tone is already getting better (whilst I am a tad lazy and doing the routine I’m ensuring I am putting the right piece on). The BB cream glides on and when I have no spots this is all I need for the day. My skin feels moist but not damp and it’s not as ‘prune like’ as it was before’.
After a few weeks of using healthy natural and mineral derived ingredients, the skin enters a healthier metabolism and natural process like repair kicks in. The skin starts to heal itself.
.
Week three: I have had complements from people I go for dinner with, and whilst I still have to re-apply my make-up in the evening before dinner my actual skin does not need me to re-apply moisturiser before my make up (something I have been having to do for years!) The BB Cream smells amazing… and my skin feels better with it on. I love the night serum and cream. My face feels moisturised and fresh but it’s not to heavy – it doesn’t give me additional spots which I have found with moisturisers in the past.
Week Six: My pores do not seem as large and my skin seems much smoother – although I’m still using primer it’s not like I have to trough it on!!! My make-up is lasting the day and not drying out. The BB Cream is my life line, my skin looks and feels fresh…
Satin Perfection BB Cream SPF 15.
The best things:
- My scarring seems to have improved around the jaw area
- My pores are smaller and overall my skin looks fuller and healthier, not dry and taught
My make-up looks lovely for most of the day! (down to the moistuisers and the BB cream!!!)
Thank you Miss Turner for sharing with us your personal journey with REN Skincare, but there is still more to come ‘-)
For those interested in the omega 3 serum or the bb cream, please have a look at my blog regarding these two fabulous products from REN.
For Miss Turner’s second facial. I re-analysed her skin and saw just how much her skin had improved during those few weeks. It no longer looked so angry and irritated or congested for that matter. I thought it best to throw in some of REN Skincare’s radiance range and to really give her skin that WOW factor that every single woman wants.
Minutes after the facial and before BB cream application.
Miss Turner, finally out and about for dinner with only a bb cream as her make-up base. Took a while to build her confidence, but we got there in the end.
.
Miss Turner is scheduled to come in for her final facial, and here I will be targeting the smoothness and texture of her skin.
Can’t wait for the final reveal. So stay tuned for the final and concluding blog on Miss Turner with her skin and life changing experience.
A huge big thank you to Miss Turner for her continual patience and determination to have beautiful, healthy and radiant skin.
If any of you are experiencing the same concerns as Miss Turner, please contact me. I would be more than happy to place you on the right path onto having beautiful, healthy looking skin.
Thank you
Beauty and the Chameleon ‘-)
