Louise, 38 years from Oxelösund found Skinome via the podcast Huddoktorerna. A podcast about skin and skin care by Skinome's founders Dr. Johanna Gillbro and Dr. Petra Kjellman. After years of dealing with tough skin conditions, inappropriate products and treatments, Louise found a skincare routine that works and has given her a healthier and stronger complexion. We interviewed Louise about her skin journey and how she feels about her skin today.
What has your skin journey looked like?
When I was in my 20s, I developed adult acne which turned into rosacea in my 30s. I've always had dry skin and have tried various skincare routines, products and treatments. In retrospect, I have realized that I have used far too many products, but I have always wanted to find products that can relieve my rosacea and winter dry skin.
What has your relationship with your skin been like?
My relationship with my skin deteriorated when I got my skin conditions. I became very complex about my skin when first the acne appeared, then the scars and later the rosacea.
Can you describe how your skin feels and how it looks today?
Today my skin feels much healthier and can cope with weather changes in a completely different way than before, before I could get acne in the summer and very dry skin in the winter. I can still get rosacea outbreaks but much milder than before. I do not get stressed today and order home a lot of skin care but stick to my skin care routine.
Which Skinome products do you use and what is your routine?
My skincare routine during the summer starts with a light water rinse in the morning. Then I apply Rich Intense and Sun Emulsion SPF 50+. In the evening, I cleanse my face with Mineral Cleanser and apply Rich Emulsion and Probiotic Concentrate.
During the winter months, I start the morning the same way unless it's below freezing, then I usually skip rinsing my face and instead apply Rich Intense and Probiotic Concentrate directly. In the evening, I cleanse with Mineral Cleanser and apply Rich Emulsion and Probiotic Concentrate. I try to let my skin rest as much as possible and only use makeup if I am going to the office.
What change or positive effect have you experienced with Skinome products?
I feel that my skin has become more resilient since I started using Skinome. Now I don't get acne in the summer and don't get as dry in the winter. Also, my rosacea has improved considerably!
Would you recommend Skinome to other people?
I would recommend Skinome any day of the week! I have saved both time, money and got a healthier skin. However, it should be mentioned that it was not completely problem-free from the beginning, I started with Night Active Retinol which turned out to be a little too active for my skin. I then contacted Skinome and got help to put together a kit that suited my skin much better and that's when I started to see results.
