Bonnie Burgess at Cella Skin came to my rescue!
Now that I am soon to be entering my 40’s, one would have thought that acne would have been LONG gone. But no, it has resurfaced as if I was a kid going thru puberty again. Although, not perfect, yet, it is 110 times better than it was and I have Bonnie to thank for that. Her amazing facials have helped clear up what the stress and fatigue in my life called!
