Helene tried everything —and finally got the help she needed!

- I contacted Q for Skin because I wanted to tell them that their products had helped me with my problems and because I want others to hear about it and get help. Here is my story.

We have dry skin in my family, and I have had problems with my skin since childhood.

When I entered my teens, the discomfort suddenly disappeared, which was very nice. I was still dry, but it wasn't something I thought about much. 

 

When I was in my 30s, I got pregnant and my skin problems flared up and didn't go away. It was worst when the weather changed, and my scalp was now my biggest problem. It itched and itched and itched, and I didn't know what to do. I tried cortisone solution and a variety of special shampoos, but nothing worked in the long run.

"Now throw away all the other crap."

Then one day I went to Ekolea in Karlstad and Anna-Karin was going to cut my hair. No hairdresser had ever talked to me about my scalp before, but she said straight away that we had to do something about it. She put three products on the table and said, "You should use these." They were three products from Q for Skin:Svarvinbärsfröolja,Quick Relief Shampoo,andConditioner.

 

I had never heard of Q for Skin, but Anna-Karin sounded like she knew what she was talking about, so I went home with a bag of products and new hope. I used the products she recommended and felt that my scalp became calmer and stopped itching. My husband, who saw that the new products were helping me, said, "Now throw away all the other crap."

"Thank you, Q for Skin, for products that are pleasant to use, have made all the difference, and last a long time."

Safety is in the bathroom cabinet

- Now I also use their products for my dry skin.

It's been three years since that day, and my scalp is in great condition. I still need to use Blackcurrant Seed Oil,Intensive Nourishing Serum sometimes when I feel it starting to get dry. For shampoo, I now use Nourishing Shampoo , which also contains blackcurrant seed oil. I no longer needthe Quick Relief ShampoothatI used as a treatment in the beginning, but I know it's there and that's reassuring.

The great thing is that I also use the oil serum I have on my scalp on my face both morning and evening. That and Quick Repair Cream keep my face soft and smooth. I also use the cream on my dry hands and feet. My hands are still a little dry, but it's so much better. I always carry a small bottle of cream in my bag so I can moisturise I need to.
