My skin became horrific after I had my second baby - I spent thousands trying to find a solution and it turns out one of the cheapest options worked best

Jazz Lord-Kershaw spent thousands of dollars trying to get her skin 'back to normal' after the birth of her second child.

The 46-year-old mum-of-two from Sydney had always enjoyed clear skin and the natural confidence which came with it.

But within weeks of giving birth to baby number two everything changed.

She told FEMAIL 'dark patches' started coming to the surface of her skin.

'I had always had freckles but this pigmentation was different and I was really struggling with it,' she said.

'One day I looked in the mirror and didn't recognise my own face. I looked way older and knew I had to do something about it.' 

Jazz, who works in warehouse logistics, spent hours on YouTube following all of the dermatologists and buying products with the active ingredients they recommended - but was always left feeling disappointed.

'I got so sick of buying over-the-counter stuff that didn't work,' she said.

'I felt like I spent all my spare time trying to figure out what to buy next at Mecca, Woolworths, Sephora.

'But in the end I was just spending a lot of money and filling up my cupboard with creams that didn't do anything.'

Two years after having her second baby, Jazz's confidence was at an all time low - her sleep deprivation wasn't helping with her mental health or appearance.

Fed up, she decided she had two options - head to a dermatologist and pay serious money to get them to banish the severe pigmentation for good; or try prescription skincare products which are also traditionally quite expensive.

Eight months ago she decided to go with Moshy Skincare - the female targeted version of the well-known brand Moshi.

And she hasn't looked back since.

'I filled out the questionnaire online and spoke to the doctor about my concerns and they sent me out my cream,' she said.

The $120 bottle of night cream lasts most people three months but Jazz admits sometimes she gets four or more months out of it making it the most affordable thing she's tried yet.

'I freaked out at first because my skin peeled a lot - like it was falling off -  way more than it had with any other products,' she said.

'But once it had finished I was left with the softest, loveliest skin. And it only peeled once.

'The pigmentations is gone and my skin is better than it has ever been.

'My skin cleared up in three weeks - I couldn't believe the difference.' 

Jazz said it has been a relief going from six or seven products at night to 'just one'.

'In the day time I just use a gentle moisturiser and before I put my night cream on I use a gentle cleanser and that's it,' she said.

Now she feels confident and back to her old self

'I don't need mountains of products - which also makes going away easy.' 

She has also been able to scrap the makeup she had bought to cover the pigmentation.

Jazz is moving to Queensland with her family soon and will be looking for work once she gets there.

She believes she will be much more confident in interviews now than she was two years ago when she was trying to clear up her complexion.

'My confidence was knocked about - especially going to work with people 20 years younger than me - when I felt like I looked 10 years older than I should,' she said.
