Hello! Just wanted to check in with how I am doing, and what my routine is! Things have gotten AMAZINGLY better. After moving for college, I realized that the type of water I was constantly using directly affected my skin. I am using distilled water to wash my face now, and there has been a huge improvement.

Every night:
Wash face with...

Ok, so things are alright. I am still doing well inflamed-acne wise, but not so hot in the non-inflamed department! It's spreading down my face I still love my AHA+ and am using it every night, but it's not doing as much as I was hoping it would for the...

Well I just got my acne.org AHA+ on Saturday, and I am in love. It stings my face quite a bit at first, but afterwards feels great! It has really helped clear up my non-inflamed acne, as well as red marks. I love that it exfoliates without being too harsh. I had previously read that non-inflamed acne needs to be exfoliated, but when I tried to manually...

Well, things are great!!!
No more inflamed acne for the most part. I get a spot every now and again. Typically along my jawline or the corners of my mouth (I hate those ones..) But I have been SO happy with regimen. It really has worked and continues to work.

My only problem now is non-inflamed acne. Don't get me wrong, I would MUCH rather...

Things have been going pretty well! I got back from California two weeks ago, and my skin kind of freaked out from all of the climate change, and probably from 12 hour bus rides too. But this is where I am now!

Cheeks have no active acne! YAY Don't worry though, there are plenty o' dark marks left over...

Tea Tree Oil is that little extra step that goes a long way!

Earlier this week, my face wasn't doing so hot. I was sort of clearing, but my cheeks continued to have gross spots! And I was frustrated that I kept getting more. I remembered that I stopped using tea tree oil since I got my new BP, so I put some tea tree oil mixed with a little...

YEAHHH! My BP came on Saturday. It rules. It goes on very nicely. Initially, my skin was kind of dull and dry all over, but now it's getting better! And most importantly, my skin is CLEARING!

Here is what I have been doing daily...
At night I make sure to wash all of my makeup off, I usually use a little more cleanser.
Then I...

I love Jojoba oil! It has so many benefits, like...

Keeps flakiness under control. I often have no dryness or relatively little.
Keeps oil under control. It's definitely a wonder how an oil can control oil, but it does! I used to have to blot and powder throughout the day, but now I am usually only using mineral finishing powder...

Sooo it has been rough! I broke out on my cheeks and now my chin
I was upset because I have been faithfully using BP. Buuut I realized I never ramped up the dosage due to the fact that I am still using my one little bottle of proactiv BP. Acne.org is backed up, so it...

Week 7! I am running out of Proactiv BP, so my mom ordered some of the acne.org BP today! Woooo! I hope that this stuff works well.
Well... here is how I am doing!

Forehead is pretty clear! Those two spots from last week went away quickly.
I have an active spot on both temples. They aren't horrible though,
Had 2 spots...
