Rosacea controlled daily life

It began with redness on the skin that would not go away. It developed into bumps and later pimples, and Karina looked despairingly in the mirror as her skin changed. Initially, she thought that perhaps it was something hormonal or that the menopause was on its way. But a dermatologist ascertained rosacea and Karina searched the internet and stores for help.

Karina Pia Nordstrøm has never had any major problems with her skin before, and not as a teenager either. So it was a huge upheaval for her as bumps, pimples and redness suddenly became a permanent part of her mirror image. It actually affected her daily life so much that she began to get up earlier in the morning to cleanse her skin and do her makeup which covered the rosacea completely – or as much as possible.
– It also stretches your limits to be without makeup and even when I am wearing makeup, I constantly think about what kind of light I’m standing in, as direct sunlight makes my skin problems look worse, explains Karina.

The skin specialist’s advice
In her search for the right remedy, Karina tried different solutions and products, but nothing led to an improvement. One day a Google search brought her to Beauté Pacifique and the Help my Skin Project, where she met skin specialist Maria Kroll. After a thorough review of what rosacea is and a scan of Karina’s skin, Maria explained to her what was needed to improve her skin.

– The scan image shows that your skin lacks strength from the inside and needs the right tools to be built up. There may be several reasons why it has been damaged, and your skin expresses this through rosacea. But fortunately, it can be remedied by using the right products, says Maria.

A true eye-opener
The final skin scan three months later shows that Karina’s skin is significantly improved. There is more activity under the skin and the surface is thicker than it was before. The white line to the left of the image represents the epidermis, which is clearly strengthened. In addition, you can see the activity in the corium and subcutis by the many red, yellow and green areas. On the outside, her rosacea has become better and she no longer thinks about what kind of light she’s standing in.

– Karina’s skin is really much stronger deep down and we can clearly see this in her scan images. I would recommend that Karina continues using the selected products, as they have shown really great results specifically on skin with rosacea, explains Maria Kroll.

Karina also discovered something new. She was reluctant at first to use Serum Paradoxe as it is oil-based (and many people believe that oil must not be used on skin with rosacea). But Maria explained that the oil in Serum Paradoxe comes from Chilean grape seeds and is transported down through the skin in our unique transport system. This transport system encapsulates the grape seed oil in Squalane oil, which the skin recognises as it resembles our own oil in the skin; thus, the effective ingredients from the grape seed oil penetrate down into the skin instead of just lying on the surface of the skin.

Karina is relieved and happy to finally have her skin back. For her, the programme has created a huge change.

– One of the best things is that I have learnt so much about my skin, and the scanning of my skin has been an eye-opener. I can see and feel that my skin is feeling better again, smiles Karina.
