Skin Condition

• Per usual, my skin looks the least red in the morning
• Lots of acne marks still on my cheeks, no surprise
• The pimples on my lip continue to shrink and dry out
• The three tiny whiteheads on my chin have reappeared despite popping them so I guess thats a sign not to do that again
• I actually woke up with what i would describe as slightly OILY skin. Wow. Thats the first time that has happened since I started this treatment. It wasnt gross oily, but like, healthy oily.
• The one pimple on my forehead is almost gone
• The deep "underground" pimple still seems to be slowly dissapearing

Application

• This morning
  • I washed my face with my sulfacleanse (Im careful not to rub this in for too long because it can be drying. I dont use too much soap in the mornings)
    • I took a warm wet washcloth and GENTLY used circular motions to remove all the dry skin that needed to be shed, which wasnt much at all this morning
  • I applied a thick layer of moisturizer
  • After that dried I applied another layer of moisturizer in the areas that needed it
• I took my doxycycline
• I applied some makeup
  • (ive been getting into doing makeup on evenings before i go somewhere with friends)
  • I applied green primer to combat redness
  • BB cream on problem areas
  • concealer on stubborn pimples
  • light dust of translucent powder
• Before Bed
  • Washed with cerave hydrating cleanser
  • waited 20 minutes (usually durring this wait, my skin feels super dry and taut but it didnt today)
  • Applied a pea sized amount of adapelene
  • waited 5 minutes
  • applied moisturizer

• Today has been my least dry day yet where the only flakes were on my upper lip and eyelids (the eyelids still confuse me since im not applying adapelene there)
• The big underground pimple continues to show improvement
