Oh, it looks pretty good. AHA did its job. I have only one new pimple in the centre of my forehead. But maybe it's not a pimple, maybe I'm going to become a unicorn.
That would be cool, best of luck with that.
Well... I must have been a good boy this year after all, Santa gave me the gift of clear skin. I'm not sure what the situation is though, whether it's for a limited time only or whether it will be a gift which keeps on giving. Wait and see I suppose. Happy though and I'm especially pleased to be seeing great differences in my skin after a month of diet changes. Just a few small alterations and removing some stuff I apparently have an intolerance too is all that was needed. Increased my supplement intake a bit as well and I assume that's doing me good. I'll aim to actually change my diet pretty soon so that I can get more of those things naturally from food sources, too.
Also makes me happy to think how I've turned things around so much over the last four weeks. At the start of the month, my skin was broken out and very red and sore from all the crazy picking. Getting to grips with that and being kinder to my skin. It's responded in kind and it keeps getting easier because there's less and less to pick. I just looked back at my blog from about a month ago and the picture I posted then was pretty depressing to me. I was in pain with it and I felt horrible and ugly. Not like I now feel like God's gift to women or anything, but it's just so nice to get rid of that pain and to be able to smile or laugh without it hurting and without being reminded of the damage I'd done to my face.
Reckon I'll see if I can take an up to date picture later and use that as a reminder of what happens when I'm good to my skin, see if it inspires me to keep this going.
I do everything right because to do things right is the right way to go. I skincare right, I eat right, I sleep right, Like if to go left or right, I will go right, I walk my dog right, I live right, I think right, I write right, it even rhymes right, right? : o
Oh and..
You know, I have found my calling! When I have free time from job my favorite thing to do is to plant my butt in front of pc, pwn kids on webs and feel great about myself that way, then have a hearty laughter about everything! ^__^ i dont let acne get to me and my life is success!! :^D
Sooooo all those zitties on my forehead? Gone:) But one. Slight pink bump, in the middle. Ont red, not huge, it was acutally hella dried out two days ago. So I put helanig lotion on it.......but the bumps still....there? But not a zti. Im waiting for it to get a head, actually....or the fact ath its stil ldry and needs timt ot heal. Its barely noticeable since its not irritated at all, jsut a slgiht pink. The warzone is back to lvoeliness:) its cleared fast. Os pretty mcuh one slight little numbed pink bump:)
I got this new coverup form Clinique (cost be a good 24 bucks {xmas gift carddsss]) BUT, it's not that cheap icky oarnge oclro when I pack it on a spot. It looks like skin, so i can pack it over a zit, and it looks naturally not cakey:) So thats lovely. I hear it clears oyur skni a bit too? Win-win-double-win? Yes.
I feel good about my skin since it has been improving a lot these last few days !(yesss) I feel more positive that the regimen will work but I don't want to get my hopes too high an then break out and clear and ect.. I feel more positive when I see hope for my skin to clear up @@!!!! I'm happy
I'm feeling optimistic about my acne this week. After discovering this site and reading about the regiment, I decided to buy some new products (not nessesarily anything to do with Dan's regiment):
Phisoderm pH UP normal/oily skin (have been using it for over a year, doesn't fight acne but it's a good cleanser) -wash 2x daily
added BP treatment: Clean and Clear Persa-Gel 5 (5%) -use at night, or spot treat the bad ones in the morning too
added Clean and Clear Deep Cleaning Astringent (oil free, SA 2%) -2x daily
Bought the BP and Astringent a couple days ago and while my acne hasn't disappeared yet it is smaller in size, less red, and no new zits have formed.
Also read about fabric softener and bounce sheets and how they are bad, and have asked my wife to stop using them (use vinegar and a foil ball instead) I think that might have been contributing to my problems...
great site thanks Dan and everybody!
Well, that pink bump is still pretty mcuh the same, I think it got a little better. But as I said, I dont care, its barely noticeable. Ive been putting hleanig lotion in that area for a few days due to dryness and tnoight Im just gonnal et it be. In that similair area are some tiny little colorless bumps. I mean you cant see thme straight on, but if i tilt my head to the light and look for them closely theyre there. There colroelss though and i feel them withm y finger, but barely noticeable....so im not even gonna bother putting anything on them, I do get tiny odd little non zit bumps anyways. My cheeks a little dry, but overall ym face looks pretty damn good:)

Good on you Paul, 13 years is more than enough time spent serving the 'acne sentence' we have to go through, you're a nice guy so you deserve it.
As for me, not doing too bad, haven't used BP in a couple of days, only a moisturizer that works perfectly but normally breaks me out, it hasn't so far so fingers crossed it won't again
So one pimple. That pink bump. Has no head, and I dont know where my skins plannig on going. The bumps the same but theres three essentially not there bumps around it. They arent visible at all, unless there in the sun and you turn your head that way, than you can see them. I spotted a pinkish little bump in the corner of my chin. Odd, I never get bumps down there. Its not very visible, and its barely even pink. So, with some Tea Tree Oil that one should be tamed and wither awy with out rearing a red berry face. So two light pink bumps and a few...ingrown hairs that are colorless or idfk? All in all theres 5 bumps. 1's visible, 2nd is sorta, and the rest idk. My face still looks fine.
I think the pink bump is going down, maybe? I left it alone last night. One of those bumps turned into a small little pink pimple. And theres two actually. It looks about the same. No sign of the chin one, maybe it got scared away hehehe:). But Im worried about this pink bump. Been here since Christmas, and I have 5 more days till school and its not doing anything. It just a bump....no whitehead or shit. And sort of pissing me off to be very frank.
Well, I finally got impatient, and took a needle a poke the top of the pink bump, hopefully trying to repeat the same routine of thle ast one. It would swell up that night, I would ice it, and than it would scab. I popped it two, three minutes ago and it swelled up. So Im icing it and waiting and hoping for the best. Im really worried tohugh, it swelled up big..I mean the other one did too. Atleast I didnt pick at it with dirty nails, I took a sterilized needle and poked the top.....UGh. Please tell me it will be gone by Wednesday. It didnt really have a head, but it wasnt a cyst.
The sweelings gone down alot, and I hope it'll scab over in a few days. God, these past weeks and these forhead bitches of zits.
Im going to leave it alone for the nextfew days, I have till Wednesday. My dad promised me they'd be gone by then. And I use that as a postiive, and IM gonna beleive that. I mean theyve been around for about a week, theyve had there life span, there ready to scab, I have 4 days. Just ice and leave it alone.
I think I shouldnt continue the method of stabbing a pimple even with out a head, cinig it, just so it turns to a scab, than fallsofff. Although, thel ast one i did I justdug at with a thick protracter needle thingy and it bled, but when the scab fell off there was no pigmentation no scar. Im relaly not that scared of scars. Well, I dont have the millions of cysts along my jawlnie fiasco. soooo
I am completely clear of acne right now because of some anti-fungal medicine I am taking. I didn't think it was gonna' do anything to my acne but it cured it completely, atleast for now. Right now I just feel like taking out some pretty girl out for a date and make her laugh as much as possible.
So, thw swellings gone down quite alot on what I shall call the Unicorn horn. XD But aside form the UH I have two other smaller sized pink pimples on my forehead. One closer to me hairlnies drying out ,and one neighbooring the UH, that I;ll just have to elave alnoe since I m leaving the UH alone and letting it heal. Im feeling rather optimisitc, although my foreheads back to craps . Im not even wearing makeup. I have the temporary bangs styld if it doesnt get better by Wednesday, but I have a feeling it shall. .My cheeks are beautifully clear and so is my nose and everything but the centre of my forehead. Been drinknig mroe water, icing and taking cat naps these past two days and I think it acutally helps, the sleeping, and the water. Anywhooo:) Whatevs, we all get those stupid stubborn unicorn horn pimples. It'll be gone soon
