• Nikki's skin before BAO

  • Nikki's skin after 3 weeks

Has IBD affected your skin?

Absolutely. I’ve been on biologic immune suppressant drugs for years, and when I do break out, it takesweeksto clear. My skin has been patchy, bumpy, dry, uneven, and super sensitive. Every time I tried a new product, things just got worse.

What was your usual skincare routine?

Before I found BAO, my skincare routine was really simple: micellar water and a moisturiser. And to be honest… a ton of heavy makeup to cover everything up.

  • "My skin was just 'meh' — sensitive, dull, uneven, and prone to ulcer-like breakouts that took forever to heal."

How has Beth helped you with your skin journey?

Beth has been amazing. She’s been so helpful and genuinely supportive — not only with my skin journey but also after my recent stoma surgery. It’s rare to find that level of personal care and understanding

How have you been getting on with the BAO products?

I’ve been using BAO products for 6 weeks now, and I can honestly say I’ve seen a huge improvement. My skin is more glowy, I haven’t broken out, and I’m wearing less makeup — which I never thought I’d feel confident enough to do.

Before, I used Garnier micellar water every evening (to remove heavy, full-coverage makeup), and I’d exfoliate twice a week to try and fix the uneven, bumpy texture. But honestly, nothing worked — until BAO. I’m so glad I found it and won’t be looking back.

What’s your favourite product?

It’s hard to choose just one! I love the Refreshing Face Wash — I use it twice a day and it even removes my eye makeup gently. But the Recovery Face Cream is heavenly. It’s thick and creamy, yet feels light on the skin. It absorbs quickly and leaves my skin soft, hydrated, and never sticky.

Do you think you’ll keep with BAO moving forward?

Absolutely — 100%. I feel like switching back to high street products would be like taking 10 steps backwards. Those are full of nasties, and my skin has changed so much since stepping away from them and using BAO. I’m not going back.
