HI EVERYONE!!!!!
After dealing with Acne for so long..I decided to join a community where others can understand the emotional problems that a person has to go through with Acne.
Today I did an evil thing..I sat in class and day dreamed about another universe..a universe where having clear skin is a big taboo and having acne is the "perfect" skin...Hehehe what a world that would be..
I will start by introducing myself..
My name is Kieu just like the Letter Q
I had my first pimple when I was in 5 grade...nothing too bad...but as I grew older and the horrible effects of puberty kicked in..my acne got worse!!! I went from tiny little pore size spots to huge horrific nodules that looked like a third eye on my face!! Alright Alright i might be over exaggerating..but over exaggerating is part of the effects of acne.
I am genuinely a very optimistic and peppy person..but behind closed doors i spend my days crying when i look in the mirror. I am very insecure about my face but i know i am a confident person.
I am 20 yrs old attending a Bio under grad program at my university. My dreams is to become a researcher with a cure for acne in mind...
I have tried many topical many; many oral drugs; many regimens and over the counter products ..and now i am just tired and desperate...
This thursday i will be at the dermatologist in hopes of going on accutane...This will be my little accutane blog......and hopefully ...some tips on products that i have used
....
Acne is a part of my life..and i do learn to live with it..and well products and skin care and all that jazz is just a part of my life style...this is the break down of my life...
1) I run and work out 3-4 times a week..5 miles jogging every time i work out
2) I drink 3000 mLof water a day.....about 12 cups..
-- if i drink 1/2 water..i drink 1/2 artichoke tea...which i brew every sunday night
3) I eat 2 cantaloupes, 1 strawberry box, 1 pineapple, and other small fruits a week.
4) I drink V8 every day on top of the water I drink
5) Facial Care...Must be switched occasionally..if i use one thing for too long it stops working
-Noczema wash in the morning.....Biore wash at night......Clinique wash every now and then
-Garnier moisturizer in the morning..and Ginseng night cream
6) Face Mask
-Monday Tea Tree Oil Face Mask
-Wed, Fri Steam Facial and then an 100% Aloe Mask
- Sunday Fresh Carrot Mask
7) Diet
-NO NO CARBOYHYDRATES..No sugar ..No chocolate (SIGH)
-NO LACTOSE OF ANY SORTS
-NO FRIED FOODS
-NO CAFFEINE!!
8) Vitamins
-Every Day Active Multi Vitamins
-Flax Seed
-Healthy Liver Pills
And yet......all of this work does nothing but deceit me......I wish i can be normal sometimes and just not have to worry about the next pimple..
This semester of school has been very stressful on my body..and i have been breaking out like mad!! I don't ever go anywhere w/o makeup..and even my makeup is top of the line products.....I have concluded.....Acne is truly an expensive investment.........
But i am hoping and praying Accutane will work.....wish me good luck!!!
God Bless
