A BLEMISH ON THE AUSTRALIAN POPULATION?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 20, 2009 -- The research, believed to be the largest ever quantitative study into the effects of acne*, was commissioned by PuraSkin Total Acne Solution, a new treatment for problem skin developed by Nadine Ismiel, part of the family behind Nad’s.

Despite the common perception that acne is a teen issue, the research has found that almost half (47%) of 18 to 44 year olds have had a breakout in the last three months.

For the one in four Australians currently suffering with acne, the condition is not purely cosmetic, but the source of real concern and heartache. Eighty-two per cent of sufferers say that their skin has held them back in some way, with:
• 61% less confident because of their skin;
• One third (31%) avoiding social events; and
• Over half (52%) feeling self conscious as a result of their acne.

Victoria is the spottiest state in Australia with 51% (1.2 million) of the current population suffering from acne with Queensland (48%) and New South Wales (46%) closely following. Nationally one in five current acne sufferers are depressed because of their skin and 1.025 million of those suffering with pimples would rather be overweight than have acne.

“From the age of 12 I started to get pimples, developing into severe acne that consumed my teenage years and continued into adulthood. I suffered this condition for 15 years and it affected my confidence so dramatically that I felt uncomfortable in my own skin. ” said Nadine.

“Like so many others I was desperate and tried every product available, but nothing would work. I even went on prescription medication that was seen as the ‘last resort’. This made my acne even worse, on top of causing some pretty confronting side effects,” she said.

Drawing on her professional qualifications in science and herbal medicine, as well as strong family support, Nadine took matters into her own hands and found a solution to her acne problem by creating PuraSkin. She hopes that there will be a positive response to the new product that has helped changed her life.
