I started getting acne around 11 or so. It was.. pretty bad. MY problem areas have always been my chin & cheeks, & occasionally my forehead. Now 14 (it seems like it's been longer), I'm sick of having gigantic craters on my face. So, I'm doing something about it.

So I've been on the regimen for.. maybe a month or two. I would say religiously, but I'd be lying. I try to follow the regimen daily, but frankly, I'm lazy. So, some days I didn't wash my face, or apply BP. Recently, my cheeks have been breaking out. Badly. I had a sunburn on my face that was quite bad. I actually had a blister on my nose (ew). This was particularily awful for my skin, so sunscreen is definitley a must now. I'm going to log my progress, simply becuase I need motivation. Yep.

Maybe I'll post pictures tomorrow.
Maybe, being for the fact that it's the Fourth of July. Happy holiday, by the way.

My regimen includes:

MORNING
-clean&clear morning glow cleanser
-neutrogena on-the-spot 2.5% BP
-clean&clear morning glow moisturizer SPF 15

NIGHT
-ivory bar soap
-neutrogena on-the-spot 2.5% BP
-occasionally morning glow moisturizer, if feeling red/flaky

Update tomorrow, maybe.

Hm.
Just remembered someone nasty from when I was in 6th grade.
They constantly pointed out majoor zits on my face.
Very self-esteem lowering.

That could be the worst. People pointing out that you have huge whiteheads. It hurts, you know? It seems like the pimples are all some people see.

Good luck, I am 15 but I actually think i have good skin now. I used to be SO upset with it. And it looks ok. I think there is super hope for you! We are almost on the same regimen, I use On the Spot and Morning Glow moisturizer too. I remember when I had a cold sore on my lip (several times) and people would always ask me about it or say something. I always get bad cold sores. Anyways, good luck. I am also just starting kinda too. So look at my log if you want, I put pics of me up See ya

Good job to me.
Not really.
I've neglected this for almost a week. Tisktisk.

My skin is fairly clear, actually.
There were a few rough patches, but the disappeared (for the most part) over these past few days.

I've been following my regimen still, & keeping vigilant with it.
I'm going to be gone for the next 2 days, but i"ll try and update tomorrow night.

thanks for the support, tainteddogma.

HOORAY FOR ME IGNORING THIS.
Still following regimen.
Trying to clean up a spot that came up on my cheek & then chin.

Update.. later.

Ok, Shelby.
You can do this.
Daily updates, daily updates.

Alright. My chin is being really stupid.
I have this huge bump on the shide of my chin.. it's been there for about 4 days.
It's not an on-the-surface whitehead, but the area RIGHT on the bump is dry.
Any idea what this is?
I don't get cysts, so.. I don't have a clue if this is one or not.
Argh.

The rest of my face is looking REALLY good.
Typically, (this is weird) my face looks it's best before I wash my face at night & in the morning right when I wake up.
How odd.

My cheeks are cleared. I have a few random bumps on my forehead; nothing too serious.

I AM GOING TO UPDATE TOMORROW!

[rockoutshelby]

Yay for me.

My chin is getting increasingly better.
Cheeks are looking nice; smooth skin.
My forhead however, is being a pain.
There is a cluster of bumps, probably from cupping my face in my hands when frustrated/mad/ect.

I'll try to keep my hands off of my face; hopefully it will get better.

Update tomorrow.

[rockoutshelby]

Ok, so.
I'm awful at keeping up with this.
Now that it's been about two weeks..
I think I'll update.

My forehead is cleared.
My cheeks are cleared.
But my chin.. looks like.. crap?
There are two big bumps & some little ones.
I think most of what I'm seeing is scarring.
/:
Yeah..

I won't make any promises about updates.
Not that any one cares.
