Day 269:

Well things aren't going great skin-wise unfortunately. I have two pimples atm, one i popped and picked at a bit (stupid me) and is red. Waiting for that to scab over and heal in a few days, and then also one above my moustache, kind of beside my nose that hasn't come to a head and is just red and irritated. Not used to getting those ones so not sure what to do. I'm going to blast it with bp tonight and hope to dry it out.

It feels like I haven't been completely clear in a while which really sucks because I have been there and I don't understand why I'm still getting spots. I really haven't been doing anything different so its frustrating. Especially because i'm so far in. It may have something to do with working. I only started working in a restaurant this summer which is kind of when this started? or around then.

1-3 spots at a time is definitely manageable and a lot better than when I started, but I really really want to get back to being 100% clear. I'm done work in 10 days which is good but i'm also going to try and apply the AHA+ mask every 2-3 days because I totally stopped doing that this summer, which may be a reason i'm breaking out. I'm also still red, i don't know if its because of the summer of what but its kind of annoying.

Anyways, thought it was time for a big update on how i'm feeling and the status of my skin. Here's hoping things get back to the way they were.

Day 272:

Well I woke up with a pretty big zit on my right cheek.
I really don't understand why i'm breaking out. I've been on the regimen for so long and I used to be 100% clear. I'm going to try to up the dosage by about 1/4 of a pump and see if that does anything.

Day 328:

Haven't updated this in almost 2 months. I moved back to school and was so relieved to be back. My skin cleared up back to being 99% clear. Since it's my last year of university I have been going out a lot. The whole month of september was a big blur. I went out every weekend thursday, friday and saturday and each of those days I would be very drunk. Pretty much blackout everytime. I've been having a blast! Although drinking 3, or 4, sometimes 5 nights a week does take its toll on my skin. I've been missing applications left and right, but the result is usually only one that goes away quickly. Now that its halfway through october i've toned down my drinking to only getting shitfaced 2 nights a week... ok sometimes 3 haha. Right now my skin has been clear for a while, although I can feel one on my upper cheek that may become a problem, but im just going to blast it with AHA+ and hope it doesn't surface. AHA+ has definitely been handy.

I've also been playing ice hockey and floor hockey, along with working out, which has relieved a lot of stress. Also i've been having sex a whole lot more so thats gotta help stress and overall happiness, right? haha. Thehe fact that I don't have to work is making a huge difference. I don't have to focus on anything but school which is awesome because it's not that much work compared to an 8 hour gruelling shift of serving people. All in all i'm much happier. And so is my skin. Can't believe its almost been a year. Very life changing! looking back I was scared to go out in public or to the club because of my skin, and it wasn't even that bad. Now I go out all the time and not even think twice about my skin. One word, amazing. Thank you Dan!

Skin is still good! Currently only have one sport near my upper lip/mouth, but its quite small and will hopefully disappear within a few days. Just wanted to wish everyone a very happy Halloween!!
