When I turned 40 I began to break out with acne on my face. I used to get some breakouts when I was a teenager but breaking out at 40 was very unexpected and frustrating.
After dealing with it or a few years, I tried everything over-the-counter to get rid of it, including the very popular topical acne medication from the commercials that you have to get through the mail. That was so drying and I hated putting those toxic chemicals on my skin. I felt like I was poisoning myself in order to get rid of pimples.
It worked but, like I said, it was really drying so my skin was red and flaky. When I read the ingredients I knew I could not continue using it. I finally figured out what healed it for good so I will tell you everything I did.
I started using Progessence after I went into perimenopause. I also started to drink a lot of water. My skin got better using both but I still had a lot of scars and my top lip line had been undefined ever since I started to break out. I could not wear lipstick because it just looked terrible because above my lip was red and the line was not defined anymore like it was when I was younger.
One day I decided to try Lemon oil on my face. I had no idea if it would work but, I thought what the heck? It couldn't hurt! So I rubbed it all over my face. It was a little tingly but not bad.
That same day, I was going to meet two friends that I see regularly. They both commented how great my skin looked and I looked so relaxed. So that inspired me and I started to use Lemon twice a day on my T-zone and even on my lip line.
My skin is getting better and looking youthful for the first time in years after only a few weeks. It is not dry or flaky and I have not had a pimple in a while which I think is from using the Progesence. My lip line is defined again!
Last week for the first time in years, I wore lipstick. The redness around my mouth as well as the red scars, are starting to disappear! I have had several people comment how great my skin looks because it isn't red, dry and flaky anymore.

| 1. | Associated topics: perimenopause-/-menopause — "The present study indicated that lavender aromatherapy as a potential therapeutic modality could alleviate premenstrual emotional symptoms, which, at least in part, is attributable to the improvement of parasympathetic nervous system activity. This study further implies that HRV could evaluate the efficacy of aromatherapy using various fragrances to relieve premenstrual symptoms, and ultimately, support the mind and body health of women." | Link |
