well, i think that my dry, very flaky skin has always been the thing that really makes me want to skip school/stay indoors/ break things...

few days ago got a new moisturiser (the olay one suggested on this site) and jojoba oil.

skin not dry at all!

 

but a few spots lingering, annoying ones on top lip, right chin.

 

but feeling better recently

My right cheek has so many more pits than I ever realized and its soo red and marked up. My ACV came in the mail yesterday and I'm going to try that method to hopefully get rid of the fucking red marks that have been sitting on my face for eternity.

If it doesnt work, I think I just want to die. I cant take it anymore.

I got some good progress after a TCA peel so my red marks have faded a bit. Only a bit though, slightly annoying. New acne has since made new fresh red marks.... boooooo

My acne is not so bad right now; a few big spots and a few little ones here and there. Renova has smoothed away most of the smaller bumps and helped my red marks to fade considerably, so my skin tone is looking a bit better. However, I am still scarring with dents from every new pimple; this, on top of my old dents, health issues, unemployment and recent random hair/eyebrow/eyelash loss, has made me feel pretty down lately. I'll bounce back; I always do. It just takes time.

I got the first proper zit for about 2 months - and it's a truly epic specimen. 100 years ago i would have been wheeled around the country so people could pay a penny to come stare at the freak with the neon red testicle growing out of his face.

 

To add to this, i've been attempting the light brushing exfoliating method as mentioned in the red mark forum, and it's made huge patches of my face go bright red, resulting in me having to walk around all day looking like Bozo the inflicted Clown.

 

Thank Christ it's the weekend.

One popped after i showered

 

Went grocery shopping for weekly supplies. I walk across an isle and saw a very attractive girl. Didn't smile or showed any emotion..

 

She dropped some glass thing when we made eye contact. At first i was kinda happy and didn't look back

 

But then i realized probably she was terrified watching my face...

^lol something similarish happened to me this morning. I was in the shop for some food, there was 3 girls, all like very cute, i ignored them all but in my mind i was thinking ''OMFGZ THEY ARE SMOKIN''

 

 

Anyway, as for acne, my face is ok, not really any active stuff worth worrying about. But i got a couple of angry ones on my neck which are quite painful. Quite odd really, don't usually get proper acne on my neck, hope it will pass soon.

I've had a terrible weekend. I've been 99% clear for 2-3 months, but i've had a reaction to something and i've got 4 huge zits overnight, and i think there will be more by the morning. I think they're huge papules rather than cysts, so i'm hoping they're not going to be around for months.. but who knows.

 

I've got two pea sized ones on my neck right next to each other making it look like i've been attacked by a vampire, an even bigger one on my temple, and a massive eyeball sized one on my adam's apple. I think it was a reaction to a TTO mxture i used on Friday.

 

There's never a good time to have a breakout; but this for me is an exceptionally awful time for it to happen because of work related issues.

 

Acne: just when I thought I was out... it pulls me back in.

 

Depressing.

Got 4 nice nice ones all one right side of chin starting from under corner of mouth down to bottom of chin. All lined up like they are waiting to get into a club. Very nice! Sigh.

^I HATE when they make a straight line or some sort of shape on your face!

 

I have a bump pretty close to my eye, I've never had one this close, it's like bordering where my eye socket would be ... it [bump/zit] hasn't reached it's potential in ugly or hurt so I hope it doesn't get worse :(

Except i have 3 same size going down not 4 and the big one is on the inside like the big star on the flag :P haha wow pretty fn crazy. Gonna be a long week at work with this flag on my face :S

I am not a happy chappy. So much work over the past few months getting microdermabrasion and peels, trying proper products and attempting to come to terms with the fact that

 

a) My indents are less than a years old, so maybe they'll get better with time

b) Even if it's more applicable to guys, perhaps my scars "add character".

c) Maybe my skin is clearing up?

 

But hello, a large red, flatish lump with seemingly no head (may be a papule?) and pimple right below it, plus a big ol' welcome to winter (I have zero circulation, and being pale makes acne and scars look worse, plus my hands swell), plus assignments, plus self-doubt, plus issue with one person who shouldn't make me hate myself...

 

Crap. :wall:
