Rebecca - Real Skin Stories

Like many teenagers, Rebecca's skin concerns started at around 13, but by the age of 16 and 17 it had become much more severe, with painful breakouts across her chin and cheeks. By summer 2024, her skin was at its worst, leaving her feeling self-conscious and reliant on makeup for everyday activities. Whether she was at school, the gym or spending time at the beach, her skin often affected her confidence and stopped her feeling comfortable in her own skin.

Everything changed when Rebecca's mum ordered a 47 Skin sample after seeing an advert. After using our Serum consistently, she quickly noticed her skin becoming calmer, with less redness and faster-healing blemishes. Over time, she built a routine around our Cleanser, Serum, Moisturiser and SPF, and saw a significant improvement in both her skin and confidence.

Today, she feels comfortable going makeup-free to the gym, on walks and even to the beach. She spends less time worrying about her skin, enjoys a much quicker morning routine and feels excited to make the most of summer without breakouts holding her back.

Before using 47 Skin, how did your skin affect your confidence during summer?
During summer before using the products it made me feel so un confident as i would be at the beach with non to minimal makeup as I’d be in the sea and sunbathing. This meant my spots were on show which made me unhappy.

Is there a specific summer memory, holiday, event or moment where your skin confidence really affected how you felt or what you did?
I felt really sad during my a-level summer as my skin had got very bad and I felt really unconfident and just wanted to go out without makeup

Since improving your skin with 47 Skin, are there any outfits, activities, holidays or social situations that you now feel more comfortable or confident enjoying?
I now go to the gym makeup free and beach and am happy to go out without makeup. Of course I still love wearing it and going out but if I’m just dog walking or doing exercise it means I can just get up and go!

How do you feel differently about this summer now compared to previous years? What are you feeling more confident, comfortable or excited to do this year?
I feel so happy with my skin at the moment. I’m in no pain and my skin feels so smooth. There is also no bumps when I apply makeup now.

What’s something you spend less time worrying about now because of your skin?
I spend much less time getting ready in the mornings which is always a bonus as it means longer to lie in bed!

What’s been your experience with SPF products in the past and how has 47 Skin’s SPF felt different for you?
SPF products have always been a must as I have fair skin and can burn but usually this has meant my skin worsening as they are greasy and clog my pores. But this changed when I found the 47 Skin SPF which I wear religiously everyday. It worked very well under my makeup when I was at a wedding in Antigua!
