when you’re not comfortable in your skin…

After giving birth to my son, I suffered from the worst acne! I had gone through a stressful delivery (to say the least) and adjusting to life as a new mom took a major toll on my skin. I had never had acne growing up so I did not know what to do. I started using foundation and concealer to cover up the bumps and in between makeup applications I started using proactive (horrible decision). I finally got desperate enough and decided to make an appointment with a local dermatologist. I cannot even begin to tell you the way Dr. Boakye got my entire face together. She started by educating me on the way I should be cleansing and moisturizing my skin to treat my existing acne; she also recommended a low-level chemical peel to remove some of the damaged skin. Within a couple weeks my skin was almost completely clear and looking better than before I was pregnant.
