My Skincare Journey with Gina Gathings 'The Good Skin Fairy'

RENEGADE Testimonial

I had normal skin until about a year ago. All the sudden I had bad skin. People were looking at me differently. EVERYONE was telling me try this try that. I tried Proactiv and it wasn't working, so I began to overuse and it made my skin worse. Then I was a sad fairy :-(. But then I met Gina. Gina is awesome. A makeup artist and model recommended her at a photoshoot. She told me to come for a free consultation and made me feel confident about her methods. I took her advise. I have been on Obagi for 2 and a half months or so, had one microderm abrasion / peel and I feel so much better. I look better. And I'm going to keep working on it because Gina says I can get clear with her help. She kinda motivates me to do other things too. Thanks Gina!

^^^ True Story.

time to share....

I began treatment with Gina Gathings in mid January. Gina's The Art and Science of Skincare is in St. Pete on 16th st and 22nd ave.

RESULTS:

(the most embarrassing blog everrr.)

Just began Obagi treatment as recommended by Gina.

PEEL! AHH! In preparation for Miami Fashion Week.

As of late April. No makeup or retouching.

Evolution of a fashion blogger going through skin treatment:

This is how I felt for a long time.

Instagram @therenegadefw

Sad fairy.

Then I went through my Yayio phase.

Not instagram. I generally love instagram because it takes away my skin problems ****instagram. I would BARELY let people take photos of me for about 9 months - except my own insta selfies or my photog friends with prior agreements to retouch.

THEN I MET GINA.

Getting clear and confident!

I had Gina's special peel/microderm abrasion treatment for Miami Fashion Week.

Then I was even more clear. And I felt better about myself.

more confident :-)))))

^^^Not hiding as much these days, and letting friends take pics of me sometimes. I don't even make them agree to retouch because now I can wear makeup without breaking out.

LOVE IT. *bb cream

The fight against dark spots continues! Gina has me on a special product for that. The battle for a good pro headshot begins.

HEY. If YOU have skin problems or have thought about a certain treatment I recommend a free consultation.
