Jaiteh on the shame of dryness

Jaiteh thought she would have to live her whole life without any elasticity in her skin. Twenty years of her life were filled with itching, discomfort, and shame, but when she found Q for Skin, she noticed a big difference after just a few weeks.

- I know that many people have problems with hyperpigmentation during pregnancy, and I wish more people knew about what Q for Skin products actually do for the skin. It may sound silly, but for me it has led to better self-esteem. Now I finally feel good about my face, even though I'm pregnant and haven't been diligent about using sunscreen. Q for Skin works!

Of course, I tried everything to counteract the problem—all kinds of sticky ointments, softening , and strong tablets—without finding anything that worked in the long run.

"My skin is now balanced, and thanks to Q for Skin, I can live out my dreams of becoming a doctor and help and treat others the way Ellinor treated me. With warmth, understanding, and care. Q for Skin has worked magic for me and my skin!"

Was not permitted to shower

- For several years, I played basketball at an elite level and trained about seven days a week. My skin was so damaged that I was advised to only shower once a week, which was impossible when my everyday life consisted of sweating.

I have always been a warm person, but still felt that I needed to wear full-coverage clothing because I didn't want others to see how dry my skin was. However, I couldn't cover my face, and putting on makeup just hurt. I even wished I had acne, because at least that can be covered up. The skin on my face had no elasticity at all, and at times I could barely talk or turn my head.

The itching subsided quickly.

Today, I am 27 years old and have been using Q for Skin for over five years with lasting results. Of course, I was very skeptical at first, as I had tried many different products over the years that promised fantastic results but did not deliver. My colleague at the time insisted that I try Q for Skin, and I am so grateful that she did.

The products that have made the biggest difference are definitely the blackcurrant capsules , which I noticed a difference from after just two weeks, and Quick Repair Cream which is my "holy grail." The first time I tried it, I experienced a pleasant, cooling sensation, and it absorbed easily without feeling sticky. I had never tried anything like it! Blackcurrant Oil is also a hero that I use every day, and with this combination, I quickly noticed how the itching subsided and the flaking became less and less.

Skin in balance

- My skin now has bounce, elasticity, and radiance, which I never had growing up. My face no longer feels tight and dry, but is soft, moisturized, and smooth. I have never received so many compliments on my skin before, and I never thought it would be possible to shower as much as I want and wake up with replenished skin.

Today, I am studying to become a doctor, and it is thanks to Q for Skin's products that this is possible. I was advised to seek professions where I would not need to use my hands, and there I was, wanting to become a doctor. Even though I occasionally suffer setbacks when the weather changes, I feel completely confident with the products and my routine. My skin is now balanced, and thanks to Q for Skin, I can live out my dreams of becoming a doctor and help and treat others, just as Ellinor treated me. With warmth, understanding, and care. Q for Skin has worked magic for me and my skin!
