DAY 38 (5.5 weeks)
So, I couldn't wash my face the other night, and it was seriously dirty with makeup all over it. I also haven't been sleeping, and I've been drinking too much.
The result:
My skin is SUPER flaky, and I have one new pimple on my chin. Also, the bumps on my forhead came to heads, and I popped them. Probably a mistake, because now (though they aren't any larger) they are red as hell.
Otherwise, more of the same. Can't say I'm happy.
I think this might be the clyndomicin starting to work, though, so I'll still be alright with it.
Almost halfway with the differin.
I can't wait to have clear skin.

DAY 47 (6.5 weeks)
My skin has been glowing lately. I've got a red spot under my lip (right side) where a couple very small pimples are gradually being worn away- but it's basically all redmarks now... I don't have any bumps on my face. Yay!
I haven't been sleeping the last couple days, so things are FANTASTIC at this moment, but I have hope. Generally, my skin looks good, because it's got a great texture and no obvious inflammation. Of course I'll be happy when my red marks are gone, because I will then truly have terrific skin, but that's probably going to take closer to the 12 week mark.
At least things have been on a (generally) upward trend. I think the cleomycin swabs help a lot, actually- I reacted well to that same medicine before, so I'm not surprised.

DAY 51 (7+weeks)
The redmarks on my cheeks aren't looking great, but it's probably because I've been partying too hard. I also have been getting tiny red blotches right after I wash my face, but they never stay and become pimples. Also, the "problems" on my chin have been bothering me, because they've been purging.
On the other hand, when I was at a party last night, my friends took a bunch of pictures. When I saw them online today, my skin looked great in all of them! Even the close-ups!
So maybe I'm being too hard on myself

DAY 62 (8.8 weeks)
Redmarks on my cheek are still large and in charge.
But I haven't had a new active zit in weeks (knock on wood!). And today was the real test- pulled an all-nighter, and today my skin STILL looked good- that NEVER happens!
My pores are def. smaller, and my skin looks WAY healthier.
I'm never happy, of course, and won't be until these redmarks are gone..... but three weeks to go before the good stuff happens.
