Seek what they sought. > --Zen saying > I think it's OK to want to look good, especially when we are dealing with this PCOS. I did not know, until my 30's that I had PCOS and that it was probably the reason I had acne. If my acne was real bad, I wouldn't even leave the house. This affected how I felt and believed about myself and it affected my husband's and children's lives as well. I started using skin care products that have helped me have great control over my acne. I love what they have done for me so much that I now sell the products and work on helping women and men who have problem skin. If your interested, I can tell you more. e-mail: joeana@vsta.com
