Pippa's skin before BAO

Pippa's skin after 3 weeks
Has IBD affected your skin?
I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease 12 years ago, and it turned my world upside down. Years of steroid treatment followed, and about three years ago I suffered a partial bowel perforation — which meant long-term immunosuppressant medication became necessary.
Since then, my skin has become extremely sensitive and reactive. It’s now also very oily and acne-prone. I found myself stuck in a vicious cycle: full coverage makeup → harsh skincare → breakouts → more makeup... and it never ended.
What was your usual skincare routine?
I used strong, breakout-targeted products, but they only left my skin red, sore, and flaky — especially around my hairline. My skin stayed oily, and the breakouts just kept coming. I was afraid to moisturise because I thought it would make everything worse.
How has Beth helped you with your skin journey?
I reached out to Beth after following her Crohn’s and colitis journey. I’d never really made the connection between my medication and my skin issues until I saw her story.
Beth offered me a free skincare consultation — and honestly, she’s a breath of fresh air. So positive, so reassuring, and always on hand for advice. She really boosted my confidence and helped me feel brave enough to switch from full-coverage foundation to a tinted moisturiser.
She recommended the Refreshing Face Wash, Restorative Facial Oil, Recovery Face Cream, and Recovery Facial Scrub.
How have you been getting on with the BAO products?
Within just 3 weeks, the redness in my skin had reduced dramatically, and my oil levels started to balance out. By week 5, my cystic acne had completely cleared, and my skin looked brighter with a natural, healthy glow.
I’ve not only ditched all my old skincare products — I’ve also thrown away my full coverage makeup! After so many years of feeling down about my skin, I now feel confident enough to wear a more natural look. It's completely transformed my skin and my self-esteem.
What’s your favourite product?
It’s hard to pick — every product I’ve used so far feels like a spa experience. The fragrance alone is so luxurious. But if I had to choose, I’d say I’m obsessed with the Facial Oil. I never imagined putting oil on my face, especially after dealing with cystic acne, but now my skin absolutely craves it.
Will You Keep Using BAO?
100% yes — it’s the best decision I’ve ever made for my skin and my confidence. I’ve already placed my next order and I’m so excited to try even more products from the range.
