I have a new pimple on the upper right side of my face. It's hidden by my bangs though, but it's red and big.

Argh.

Well, I'm still relatively clear with a few small pimples above my upper lip. Two days ago, I felt a relatively new big pimple on the side when I was showering. I think it's going away slowly. And the pimple on the upper right side of my face has flattened.

My red marks are slowly fading, but they're not as red or as noticeable as before. The tea tree oil really helps the redness in my face; I thought it was going to break me out before, but it's working!

I'm still dealing with the extreme oiliness in the middle of the day. These oil absorbing sheets I got a week ago really help, but I rather wash my face with plain water sometimes.

This week has been pretty stressful with AP exams. However, I'm pretty proud of myself that I'm not staying up extra late to study like I did in the past year.

Note: New pictures soon; if I can find my brother's digital camera that is.

Yesterday, I met with a family friend who specializes in facials and acne treatments. She basically extracted all the white heads and a few pimples I had on my face.

I'm 100% clear now and I still have a little redness and almost visible holes from the extraction, but all of that will be gone in two to three days.

She said after 3 weeks, she'll give me a microdermabrasion. I'm really looking forward to get rid of my scars.

Well, here are some current pictures of me. My skin is still somewhat swollen from yesterday. It'll get better soon though.

Looks good! I find extractions really helpful in keeping my skin clear. I used to get them every 2 wks, but after my skin cleared I started going just once a month. I feel like it really helps keep things under control.

Yesterday, I stayed up until 5 AM to finish my stupid English project. 4 huge pimples popped up. Argh, I'm going to cry.

I ran out of a lot of products last week. I need to either restock and go back on my old regime or try to use the new Cetaphil products.

Graduation is next week and I really need to get clear again.

Holy shit. I've been so lazy to update lately.

But my skin has been improving and getting worse and then going back to improving again a lot lately. I think this is because I haven't been consistent with my regime lately and trying out new products ALL the time.


Maybe, I'll post up new pictures soon.

Just updated my section.

90% clear now, only a few white heads on my chin, jaw, and forehead.

Unfortunately, acne left me wth alot of scarring and I just need to get 99% before I start considering any scar treatments.
