Regimen log

I am on week one and I can't wait to get past week two because I am hoping for further improvement and less irrated skin. This is my last day of week one and my skin is still erupting with 2 or 3 zits every day and it is very dry and flaky. I think the redness has gone down just a tad, its not bright red now but rather a dull red. Still not too attractive but at least it appears my skin is adjusting slightly! I also have noticed that the zits I am getting tend to dry out much quicker and come to head within a day rather then being under the skin for 2 or 3 days.
Overall my skin is gross and it is hard to continue with my normal routine of school and work because it is so hard to face people. One side of my face is a lot worse then the other so I find myself trying to look to the side when talking to people or sitting with my "good side" facing people. Pathetic!! I blame my acne problem on having to switch to a progesterone only birth control because of migraines that I had awhile ago that caused auras. Before this I was on YAZ and although I haven't had migraines since switching to YAZ over a year ago, the doc still thought it best to put me on Camila. I am not so sure because now I have acne, anxiety and depression problems and if things don't get better I will probably have to get on some type of depression/anxiety med. I think I might be better off going back on YAZ but I don't think my doc agrees.
I will continue the regimen and see what happens. I have high hopes that this will work so I continue and fight the embarrassment of my skin condition and see what results I get. Right now i am using Purpose gentle face wash, neutragena on the spot 2.5 BP and Olay sensitive skin moisturizer. I also tried adding jojoba oil to my moisturizer yesterday and it seemed to help my skin from being too flaky so I will continue to use a drop of that during the day time.

week one frustration

Hi. I am happy to find this site- its nice to know that there are others out there suffering with acne too. I started Dans regimen 6 days ago and it has been hard!! My face is really messed up right now! I have the same amount of acne appearing on top of red flaky skin. I am in college and I need to go to class but I can't believe that I go out looking the way I do! It's pretty embarassing and I can't get makeup to look good. Anyways, Hello and I hope it gets better from here!
