Day One

Well, I just finished doing the Regimen for the first time! Haha, I had a little problem with the Benzoyl Peroxide dispenser. I kept pumping it, but nothing was coming out. But yeah, I figured that out. It's brand new so yeah, you have to pump it a few times. Other than that, everything went fine! I'm so excited =) But I'm also freaking out about the fact that soon, I'll start purging. Knowing my luck it'll take like 3 months for it to be done. Ah well, I"ll handle it and will not stop!

I've been toying with the idea of posting pictures, but I've decided against it. I just spent like twenty minutes trying to take a picture of myself that didn't look butt ugly, but at the same time showed what kind of acne I had. I couldn't =p. I took some sectional pictures, (each cheek, and forehead) and they're okayish. I might put those up instead. But not now, as I need to get my morning started!

Quick question- when you guys first started the regimen, using the half a pump of BP, did it take you as long to apply all of it your face as it does Dan in the video? I did it relatively quickly, which makes me think that maybe I'm not taking enough time? I did it gently, and until it looked like everything had been spread in and all. So yeah, most likely the reason is I used a half pump and Dan is using two full pump. Just a question though!

Hope everyone is having a great day. =D

Hey Laurie, we started on the same day! Can't wait to see our progress. I didn't use the BP this morning, but I would assume it would take you less time to spread the smaller amount around that Dan's 2 pumps would. I understand not posting full pictures of yourself (I didn't), but I did post sectional views like you took. I have to update it with today's pictures. I think my pics are private (don't know how I did that), but I need to take that off so everyone can see. Well, best of luck. I'll keep checking in on you to see how it's going.

Haha, yeah we did! I actually just said sort of the same thing in a comment on your blog! Thanks for giving you input, and I will be following your progress too! Good luck!

Hi Laurie,

Congrats on giving the regimen a go. It worked for me years ago and I'm back on it again with high hopes of success. Stick with it, don't skip, and you'll do fine!

As for pics, don't worry about looking bad. My pic I posted a couple days ago will give a person nightmares

Once again, good luck!

Good luck, Laurie, hope the regimen works really well for you.

Best of luck =D!

What supplies are you using, Laurie?
