Water therapy has convincing logic, but turns much of conventional skincare advise on its head. Does it work?

Acne-help.net
The reason I have put this Site together is to genuinely help other people who are suffering in the same way as I was. I know the trauma that is associated with acne (and rosacea) and how despairing it can feel to have to live with these conditions. My case was one of the most stubborn. My case is not unique. There are thousands of people all over the world, just like me, who have tried everything else and through the Sher program, no longer have skin complaints.

Editorial from the Independent on Sunday 4 August 2002

Dear Wolfgang,
My son and daughter, both in their teens, suffer from acne, and it’s eating away at their confidence. We’ve tried everything, including doctors and dermatologists, but nothing seems to work.
       Desperate Mum, Coventry

Acne is a condition that people seldom take serious enough; my friend Duane still had it in his thirties, and it was quite shocking what some doctors would put him through. I would highly recommend you go to London to see Helen Sher of the Sher System in New Bond Street. This fabulous Canadian skincare expert has helped thousands of men, women and adolescents suffering from acne and rosacea. (She also looks a good 15 years younger than her age, so, desperate Mum, you could benefit too). Her skincare system is based on keeping as much water as possible in the skin by bathing the face at a specific temperature and neutralising harmful tap water with purifying crystals.

Dear Helen,
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping my daughter. Both for putting her at ease and treating her on a person to person basis as well as for the effect of your treatments on her physically and physiologically. Now she is happy I am too so you have helped me too!

Dear Helen,
Where do I begin to thank you without sounding likes an advert? Words aren’t really enough but I want to say how grateful and thankful I am to you and your wonderful regime. I have fought with many different products for 25 years to have decent skin and to be able to wear some make-up. Nothing worked and I have cried with frustration. I am ashamed to say I came to see you with a negative attitude but I cannot believe the difference in my skin. I waited for the day when your products would turn against me but after well over a month my skin still looks wonderful with no puffiness, breakouts or allergic reactions. I will stay with the Sher treatment forever and want to thank you so much because people like me thought there was no help out there but no we know there’s you.

Dear Helen,
Since I was 12 years old I have suffered from spots and acne. I have tried everything from antibiotics to facials from a beauty therapist, as well as most skin care products available over the counter. I could never be without make-up because I was so self-conscious of my skin. By the time I made my appointment with you I had become quite tearful – almost depressed. However, I found your manner so pleasant and kindly and after you had cleaned my skin and applied your skincare products and make-up I looked so different I was thrilled. The texture of my skin is so much nicer. Thank you for your help and encouragement.

Dear Helen,
Initially I explained to you that I have had dry, flaky and red blotchy skin for over six years. I have tried various therapies over these years but have been using your system for about six weeks. The results have been excellent – this is the best therapy I have ever come across. Now the dryness and flakiness have disappeared, the redness is much reduced and my skin is supple, smooth and supple looking.

Dear Helen,
It is about five months since I started using your regime. After all the years of trying all the expensive and cheap products available I have finally rid myself of the problem that has blighted my life for ages. My skin is now flawless and the texture has gradually improved. I now have a feeling of well being that I have never had before. I recommend the Sher System to everybody.

If you prefer, the whole process can be done by post or over the Internet if you email a photograph, many of Helen’s customers – 30 per cent of who are male – choose this option. But I have always believed you can’t beat a one-to-one – and I can assure you Helen won’t give up until she has done all she can for your teenager’s skin.
