To think she should not be making these claims

[Witchofzog]

One of my friends has retrained in beauty and works both from a salon and self employed in people's homes. I shall call her Alice. Alice has a 19 year old dd who I will call Sophie. Sophie has had painful cystic acne for many many years which has really dented her confidence. For a long time she would not visit her GP but instead bought over the counter remedies and internet miracle creams which had no effect.

Until last month where she finally went to her GP and was prescribed a strong topical lotion. In the same month Alice treated Sophie to 2 micro abrasion type treatment. She has one this with Sophie before with no effect but stated this particular treatment was a different one. At the end of the month Sophies skin started to show a marked improvement which has done wonders for her self esteem. I really am so very happy for her as she is a lovely young woman who deserves to feel confident in her own skin.

Alice recently put before and after pictures on Facebook on both local selling sites and the salon site talking about her "customer" and how the abrasion has transformed her life. I feel this is wrong as the abrasions are not cheap and it is more likely to be the lotion that has cleared up Sophies skin more than the abrasion. I am not saying the abrasion may not have helped but to attribute the whole thing to her treatments I feel is misleading people who may fork out expecting a miracle

She is saying THIS is the cure for acne

She needs to have a look at her T+C's and practitioner insurance and code of ethics for any organisation she's affiliated with, to see where she stands legally in claiming anything is a CURE for any condition.

It's a particularly silly thing to do, look how many mums are featured in the DM saying they've found THE product that's cured their child's eczema. All the things they promote are very different, e.g. oats or beeswax balm or moisturiser and the truth is, as for every other skin condition, SOME products work for SOME people and then for SOME it's only for a limited amount of time, but not one product has guaranteed long-term success for everybody. We are all different.
