I first started to break out when I was about 15 years old. That's not so unusual, but I was playing a lot of tournaments back then, so I was in the public eye. I didn't really feel comfortable with all the cameras around because I wasn't confident about my skin.
I remember one really bad breakout I had. I'd just won my second big tournament, and as I was holding up the trophy, I just knew my skin didn't look great. Of course, I was happy that I'd won, but every time I'd look at the pictures, all I only saw the pimples. I finally just threw the photos out, so I wouldn't have to see them anymore.
That's when I started to hear about Proactiv. A lot of my friends were using it, and they didn't have pimples, but I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical. I'd seen the commercials and heard great things about it, but I really thought the pimples were never going to go away. I'd already tried everything else, and nothing worked—I just figured my breakouts would get worse no matter what I did.
I really wanted to hide, but that wasn't possible because I was on the court all the time! Then, when even my dad started to notice how bad my skin was getting, I realized I had to do something. I decided to give Proactiv a chance, and my experience was really positive. After about a week, I started to see significant results. I was so happy, and I didn't want to hide anymore. It was a great feeling.
I'm glad I have Proactiv. A lot of athletes struggle with their skin because we're always sweating, and we're under a lot of stress. I see other girls in the locker room trying to cover their pimples with makeup, but they know it's not going to work. The minute you start sweating, it comes right off. When they ask me how I keep my skin so nice, I always tell them about Proactiv.
My favorite Proactiv product is the Refining Mask. Every time I get a pimple, I just put the Refining Mask on overnight, and it's gone the next morning. It's just incredible. It's great when I'm traveling and playing a lot—Proactiv helps settle my skin down, and it only takes five minutes to do the three steps. It's really nice to wake up with great skin on the morning of a big match because then I can focus on the yellow ball instead of pimples!
I'm very satisfied with my skin now. I'm really happy to speak out for Proactiv because I know what it's like to feel bad about your skin. I know that a lot of other people are struggling with this problem, and I just want to let them know that Proactiv really works.
