How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

30 Days with Proactiv

in Uncategorized on 01/16/11

I did it.  Accepted a challenge brought to me by the fabulous people of MomCentral and Proactiv.  I tried the New Proactiv system for 30 days.  When I decided to take this challenge, I did it with a very special person in mind.  My BlueEyed tween. She is at that awkward age between child and teenager, with baby soft skin in some places and pre-teen break out in others.  Tough!  Like every other Mama out there, I wanted to do anything I possibly could do to help her out, and give her the gift of beautifully clear skin. 

My 30 days are over and I am thrilled to report back that Proactiv has been fabulous for our family.  Truthfully I am one who only suffers from the occasional out break, so didn’t know what to expect from Proactiv.  What I got was a product that dealt with those occasional hideous zits and toned down the red. The refining mask. LOVE!  You know when you can “feel” a pimple coming?  A little of that wonder cream on your spot before you go to bed at night and the red is gone by the morning.

Proactiv also has a Green Tea Moisturiser specially formulated for individuals with blemish prone skin.

Proactiv tells us:
Most blemish treatments work to control and remove oil from the skin’s surface and therefore, by nature, can be drying. A soothing, oil free moisturizer is key to replenishing and repairing the skin. Proactiv Solution Green Tea Moisturizer is a light moisturiser that absorbs instantly, delivering soothing hydration to dry skin.  It is formulated for blemish prone skin with concentrated botanical extracts and powerful antioxidants that leave skin feeling refreshed and moisturized.  This mineral-rich, non-comedogenic formula won’t clog pores or leave skin feeling greasy and is suitable for all skin types. 

As for my daughters experience.  After experimenting with countless number of over the counter products, we have finally found a product that works for her!  Her  gorgeous face is fresh and glowy, and pimple free.  I can honestly say Proactiv has helped us control her pre-teen breakouts without any drying or irritation.  Even when she forgot to wash a day or two.  Yeah for Proactiv!

This is a product I would recommend to my friends. 

This is a product I would recommend to you!

      Mike, my son…used this for a full year or so and it did wonders for his skin. After that year he either out grew or learned how to take care of his skin better and now has no issues.
      Pro-active is a great product.
      Take care and have a blessed and relaxing weekend.
