I first started noticing I was getting dark pigmentation when I was twenty years old. Seven years on, my face was covered in stripes of very dark pigmentation. This effected every aspect of my life and destroyed my confidence. I could no longer go anywhere without make up and was very self conscious, especially when I noticed the colouring was so bad that foundation was no longer hiding it. I started using GERnetic six months ago with great results. My pigmentation has faded to such an extent that I no longer have to wear makeup constantly. Not only did the products fix my pigmentation issues but they also have reduced the wrinkles and improved the texture of my face which was suffering from many years of neglect. I have gained back the confidence that I lost and can confidently say that the decision to use GERnetic was the best decision I have made in a long time. - Victoria Wolfe I first visited Wendy Barker at Beauty Progress after a bad experience with a facial from another firm in Christchurch where on two occasions after a facial treatment, I developed a burning and itching sensation on my skin and then flaking skin similar to a burn. On meeting Wendy and after talking with her I visited her for a facial treatment. It was on my first visit that Wendy diagnosed rosacea on my face and that it needed treatment to bring under control. Due to my previous experience I hesitated to agree to a facial however after discussion with Wendy on her products I agreed to try it again. The treatment was wonderful, I could see an instant improvement in my skin and I had no side effects. I repeated the facial on a monthly basis and after about 3 months my skin had completely cleared up. As well as the facial treatments I use the GERnetic Synchro moisturising day cream and also the Cytobi night cream. I recommend Wendy and her products to anyone who needs help with a skin problem or just for a “self pampering” treat after which you will feel totally relaxed and like a million dollars. - Pauline Savage When I met Wendy - about 2 years ago - I was at my wits-end. My skin, alwyas prone to breakouts and acne (due, in part, to my PCOS and a bad habit of picking) was the worst it had ever been. My mum had heard about Wendy and took me along for my first consultation. I must admit I was initially very sceptical that Wendy and her GERnetic products would be able to help me but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed using the products that Wendy suggested and at the almost immediate improvement in my skin tone. The products seemed very gentle, soothing and nourishing and my skin responded to being treated more kindly. I have less redness and my skin seems to heal more quickly when I do have a breakout. This has lead to an improvement in my overall well-being. I don't have to plaster my face with heavy makeup before being seen in public and, although I still have breakouts, I am more comfortable being seen bare-faced or with just a little concealer on. (This is a far cry from the day when a friend's daughter asked me if I had chickenpox when they called round unexpectedly and caught me without makeup). - Kristin Flanagan Last Christmas I received a voucher for Beauty Progress. This gift turned out to be a blessing. Upon meeting Wendy I was impressed how friendly she was and how comfortable she made me feel. We discussed issues I had with my skin, which included breakouts, dehydration and uneven skin tone (my skin looked red and angry). Wendy explained the GERnetic products she would use during the treatment, which was a most blissful and relaxing experience. Immediately after the facial I noticed my skin looked less irritated and felt smoother. Wendy recommended that my skin would benefit from using the products at home. Less than a week later there was a noticeable improvement, my face no longer looked red and angry, the skin texture felt and looked considerably smoother, and my pores looked smaller. I now see Wendy every 6 weeks for a facial and it is money well spent. I could not be happier with the results - no more breakouts, my skin is clearer, healthier and younger looking. I have not only finally found a product that does everything it claims to, but someone who provides a most relaxing professional service for her clients. It is truly an appointment I look forward to. - Sharee Rettalick By sheer chance I went to Beauty Progress for a facial. I have had facials before but none compared to Wendys. I would have to say that without a doubt, I have never felt as good as I did when I walked out of her rooms. Because of that I subsequently went back to Wendys for a Therapeutic Massage. Again, she is second to none. Wendy is very talented and very knowledgeable about her products. I would not hesitate to recommend Wendy to anyone. - Marianne Edwards
