Natalie Wilson Bridges: She's a Sabbatical Beauty

Hi, thank you so much for talking to us today! Tell us a little about yourself.

Thanks for asking! I’m originally from the Republic of Panama moved to Miami, FL when I was 15 where I stayed until last year when we moved to SW Virginia. I’m 46 years old and am currently a (semi)retired Pilates instructor.

Can you tell me about how you felt about your skin before you tried Sabbatical Beauty? How did you feel about the products you were using at the time?

I was in a skin funk. I have since my mid-30’s been struggling with treating my mild rosacea and very dry, sometimes flaky,  sensitive skin. I had basically given up on any meaningful skincare. I was only using a mild cleanser, and moisturizer because they didn’t cause any flare-ups, but they also did nothing to help improve or treat my skin.

What were your biggest fears and struggles about trying new skincare lines?

That they wouldn’t work.  I have been a skincare product junkie for most of my adult life, buying product after product using them for maybe a week or so and then letting them sit on my vanity until I discarded them. Also not seeing any meaningful changes in my skin or having a sensitivity to some unknown ingredient.

How did you discover Sabbatical Beauty?

Shout out to whatever Facebook algorithm figured out I’d be interested in skincare. I saw an ad for Sabbatical Beauty in my newsfeed.

What made you decide to try Sabbatical Beauty?

I joined the SB facebook group and after reading great reviews, getting wonderful recommendations from the members of the group and doing some research on the product ingredients, I decided to take the plunge and ordered some samples of products that would help me achieve my skin goals.

What results did you hope to see with Sabbatical Beauty, and did you achieve those results?

First, I wanted to not have any reactions to the products. I mostly hoped to find a routine that would aid me in alleviating my dry skin, fine lines and overall redness. And YES on all accounts, my skin is far less sensitive ( I haven't had any reactions to any of the products I’ve tried), it has stopped being dry and flaky, fine lines have diminished and there has been an obvious reduction in redness.

Now that you have integrated Sabbatical Beauty into your regimen, how do you feel about your skin?

I feel great about my skin these days. I wake up and look in the mirror and am happy with what I see and how my skin feels.

Many people tell us that they find the Sabbatical Beauty Facebook community one of the best parts of the brand. What’s been your experience in the community?

I am having the best time in the Facebook community. I’m still learning a lot, and I hope that I am offering the same kind of support I was offered when I first joined. It just a bunch of people that support each other and love SB.

If you were a SB product, which one would you be?

This is hard. I think I would be Snow Sleeping Pack because it’s so soothing, and moisturizing and smells so good. And I want to be soothing and smell good. ;)

Thank you so much for talking to us today!
