A mum-to-be who found it hard to look in the mirror and became anxious going to work after red sore patches spread across her face has now regained her confidence after finding a solution to her rosacea. Jade Merrilees, 28, a nail salon owner, says her face was in so much pain that the water pressure from her shower was agony and she even struggled to put her face on her pillow at night.
Jade, who is 31 weeks pregnant with her first child and lives in East Wittering, West Sussex, with her husband, James, who works for Rolls Royce, said: “I was so conscious about the state of my skin that I felt worried going to work as customers would sometimes comment on it. It was so embarrassing.”
She added: “Even though James and I have been together for more than ten years, I still felt very self-conscious in front of him when my skin was at its worst. I didn’t even want my family to see my skin and I found it hard to look in the mirror as it would upset me.”
