Glittery Eyeshadow

So how do you guys get the glitter that has fallen onto your cheeks off. I apply the eyeshadow and almost instantly the glitter is on my cheeks. Not that it looks too bad but I just don't want to be all glittery. I am using Urban Decay Polyester Bride,

No Dairy Diet

I am currently taking 60mgs a day of Claravis and have been on it a little over 30 days. I noticed that I started getting cystic acne back in November and this was about a month after I changed my diet. I started doing to Abs Diet and basically started to incorporate lots of non-fat dairy, lean meats, fruits and veggies. I also would eat oatmeal everyday with about a tablespoon or less of flax seed meal in it. I was wondering if the dairy and flax seed is what was making me break out? The dairy was all non fat though and really the only thing I started eating more of would have been yogurt and skim milk. I am now on Claravis and having great progress I have gotten maybe one cyst and thank goodness it was where I could hide it on the side of my face near my ear. So my question to you wonderful people is, has anyone tried the no dairy diet? I love cheese, milk and yogurt but wanted to see if I quit that stuff if my skin would get any better. The problem though is that I try to eat 6 times a day and usually dairy is a part of atleast 4 of those meals. So I need to know if you have cut dairy out of your diet what are you replacing it with? As far as the flax seed meal goes I just cut that out of my diet because I figure it is to lubricate your joints so it was probably also lubricating my face. Like I said before the Claravis is working wonders on my skin but I just want to take precautions so that when I am done in 5 months the chances of my acne coming back are slim to none. Any help would be appreciated.

Outdoor activities while on Accutane

Okay so I don't know if this is the correct place to put this thread but here it goes. I was invited to go White Water Rafting this weekend for about 3 hours in a pretty calm river. I really want to go but don't know if I should. I am on Claravis 60mgs a day and so far I have been taking the med for 3 weeks, I feel great but have pretty much stayed inside while on the med. So I guess my quesion is have any of you while on tane done any exercise such as cayaking (spelling sorry) or white water rafting? If so was it a harsh experience. I will have sunscreen, hat and sunglasses. I am just trying to weigh my options here. I was also invited to the lake but the lake would be for 2 1/2 days as oppossed to white water rafting which would last 3 hours at most. Any advice is appreciated.

Single Hispanic Female's 60mg Claravis Log 8/15/08 now with pics

Okay so here it goes guys I finally decided to take the plunge. My derm told me about accutane maybe 2 months ago and at first I wanted to get on it then I read all kinds of horror stories and scared the crap out of myself and decided I would stick to the 100mg. of Doxy and the 8% benzoyl topical cream for my face that I had been doing for a little over 2 months. I went to the derm again last Tuesday and was very upset I actually started crying in front of the derm (I hate people seeing me cry!) she told me straight up, "get on this medicine I really think it would help you". Here is the rundown on Moi I have had acne since I was about 14 years old but it did not start to get out of control till about November of last year. That is when I started to get cystic acne. I would get one or two huge zits that never developed a head just got huge and red. I started to see the derm in Jan and she put me on the 100mg. of Doxy and had me apply 8% BP. After two months of this treatment the cysts did slow down but I still had to visit the derm and recieve those stupid shots in my face (not so pleasant let me tell you). Now I have a few nasty scars that drive me bonkers with no make-up on them. I also have extremely oily skin on my face and oily hair so I am looking forward to being dry in those areas. So here I am 4/22/08 and I just took my first pill with a peanut butter granola bar and a large glass of water. I thought I would start a log since so many of you have and they have helped me feel better about taking this medication. So here is to clear skin people

Claravis, alcohol and Mary Jane

I know it says not to drink alcohol while taking this medicine but I only drink on the weekends so for anyone who is currently taking Claravis do you drink? If so how much? On the weekends I probably drink 5-7 beers a night. I know that sounds excessive but I have a high tolerance. I have my claravis here and am so nervous to take it. I have mile acne but my problem is the acne in the past has left me with scars and I just don't want to get any more zits leading to scars so my derm suggested I take the tane so I will be a much happier person about my apperance. Also what about smoking pot? I probably smoke a bowl a day and was just wondering how taking the claravis and smoking makes you feel. Then there is my diet, I eat low or non-fat dairy products, whole wheats, lean meats, lots of fruits and veggies. I keep reading about how in order for your body to fully absorb the Claravis you should take it with fatty foods. None of the stuff I eat is fatty especially during the week, on the weekends I may splurge and have some pizza or fast food but will I be okay just eating my normal healthy meals? About 2 years ago I use to weight 190 lbs and now I weight 135-140 lbs. I am so scared of getting fat again, hence my diet. Any help is greatly appreciated guys I am so freaking nervous I just want to go home, cry and go to sleep.
