My skin is looking great.. the 3-4 pimples that I got are dried and minimizing. It's been weeks with no cysts. Glad I don't get this big cysts..

My skin is very smooth when I touch it

It's been a while since I've been on here, but that doesn't mean my skin has improved. For a couple of months, my face was clearing up and I was pretty happy about it, then I started breaking out just a couple of weeks ago and now I'm getting both whiteheads and cysts again. I've only had about five tiny whiteheads in those couple of weeks alone. I've only got one cyst at the moment. which is under my eye, but that's about it. The redness on my face is what annoys me and I'm hoping to see what my doctor says to me once I check it out. Other than that, I'm creeping towards a milestone. Next month will be my one year anniversary when this painful journey begun. Yay. :/

Im havin a rough day. My skin has been super red and dry the past few days. I dont know whats going on. I think I may have a mild case of rosacea, and that really freaks me out. Im thinking of possibly going to a rosacea specialist and seeing what they have to say. My skin just gets red and blotchy on my cheeks and chin and I get these red bumps that never turn into anything. My skin just doesnt seem normal to me. It gets red super easily. I mean, I smile or I barely rub my cheek and it turns BRIGHT red.

 

I have a question as well.

I have been drinking ACV diluted with water twice a day for the past few days. I have also been taking turmeric pills and milk thistle. I am doing all this to cleanse my liver. Is it possible that all the toxins are being released from my liver and showing up on my face given that its been more dry and red lately and Ive had a few new spots show up?

I would say so, but I'm no expert. My face has been more dry lately too, and I'm doing the same thing. Except for me that's good because it's usually really oily, now it's just less oily. Also getting new spots.

Weird! mine is always really oily too. Im thinking its either the purging of my liver, or its less humid as winter approaches. I may cut down to washing my face only at night, and just with water in the morning when I shower, because my skin is sooooooo dry and rough after i shower and wash my face with my cleanser. I just took a nice relaxing nap and I feel a bit better, but havent looked in the mirror.

To me, it sounds like your skin is irritated from something. After all, dry/red skin is irritated skin. I'm assuming your moisturize - have you been doing it lately? My skin gets dry patches too if I don't moisturize every time after I shower/wash my face. I use CeraVe AM/PM and it's the only moisturizers that make my skin better!

 

I had a mild breakout this week most likely due to stress from exams and this scrape on my chin :/ Thankfully, they were all tiny whiteheads except for one moderate sized whitehead right in the middle of my eyebrows -_- Those are the worst. I exfoliated for the first time in a while last night and to my happiness all the tiny whiteheads were gone and less red this morning! So now the only one left is the bigger one. I'm sooo tempted to pop it because it's really white and just begging to be picked....but I'm trying to refrain b/c I don't know if I'd make it worse or not. Either way I guess it'll pop on its own, I just hope it's soon because it's annoying!!

Yeah I moisturize every night with jojoba oil. I love the stuff. Im just confused on whats happening. I have been a BIT more stressed lately trying to find a job, so maybe thats making my skin a bit more red.

Stress could indeed be the cause, stress always has a negative effect on my skin!

Pretty good. Took a shot yesterday and drank saki, had sushi, ate a bunch of hashbrowns, had half a waffle with little syrup, ate a bunch of other stuff and today i am not paying for it. So thats 3 weekends in a row now where i've incorporated back in some stuff into my diet and everything is all good. I've had maybe a total of 3 or 4 new pimples in the past month. My skin is continuing to improve. I am incredibly happy about this. Going to wait till halloween before i really celebrate, still a bit traumatized. If anyone wants to chat about things they could do to improve there regimen hit me up. Have a good day everyone. Oh and higher power, please grant us the patience to deal with idiots. Thank you!

stopping all the new supplements i was taking. Going back to my original regimen that was working. I dont know why i do that. Something is working, but I want BETTER and FASTER results. Im going back to my 2 candex twice a day, 2 charcoal capsules twice a day, and water water water. My skin looks bad this morning and I really dont know why. Im so fuckin frustrated. I almost cried in the shower this morning. This will be 2 days in a row that im hibernating. At least I have the UFC fights to look forward to tonight.

 

Oh and I just discovered a new band. This song is absolutely amazing. AMAZING.

I'm not stressing about my acne anymore which has contributed to the decrease in lesions . Hooray !!! :)

Following my dreams with or without acne :)

Things look to be calming down, at least for now - so I'm happy :) Redness and a lot of the old post-acne marks are fading. I do still have acne on my cheeks but, like I said, they are calming down, aren't so inflamed looking. I do have one really big, red, cyst like spot on my chin - so that's annoying. But at least it's only the one really bad spot instead of many like it was a week or so ago.

My skin is pretty calmed. I remember how bad it was like 5-6 months ago. Once my red marks fade a bit more, I do plan to attend some meetups and meet more vegan people with same interest as me. I'm glad I changed shift. I get more rest now, so that's why my skin is probably looking good. It is early to tell^^
