Today starts week 2! I'm curious to see if I'll start getting that dreaded IB this week, as this seems to be the popular week for it to start. I only have one pimple right now and it seems to be healing after I zapped it with some shots of benzaclin and OD'd on the Tazorac. Still no flakiness or dryness, my skin is soft and pretty smooth. ...

Well, as one pimple goes into the healing stage, another pops up. It seems as though I can never be 100% clear, but I'm not complaining because I'm loads better on this regime. And the pimples are so small they aren't even really noticeable, more like little bumps, but obviously I'd much rather go without!

I was wanting retin a but they're pretty much the same thing so I'm not complaining too much. (total side note: don't you hate it when you feel you know more about acne than...

Things have been looking better this past week. My left side is clear, chin is clear, right side has like two spots which are hardly noticeable and forehead has one new bump that won't turn into anything. So far it's looking like I'll have good skin for graduation which would, obviously, be AWESOME. Benzaclin works well for me. It...

Ok, so for the past few weeks I have been shedding much more hair than what is normal for me. Grant it, I did use a shampoo bar which caused me to shed like 4 hairs in the shower (amazing for me), and I haven't been using that bar, I switched back to liquid shampoo because I noticed where I rub my shampoo bar on my head to lather has become more...
