Although this website is useful, I think sometimes its good to have a break and just forget about acne for a while. I tried to stop coming on here for a bit, and for the past week tried to forget about my acne, applied my topicals and got on with life. Seems to have worked a little, a couple of people have told me my skins glowing!

 

 

Agreed! I bought Diablo 3 and I will be playing that game a lot to ignore my skin. I never think of my skin when I am gaming. My skin is clearing up and I am not breaking out at all.

Today was completely awful. It seems like my face breaks out every two weeks, slowly starts healing with tiny breakouts still and then restarts all over again. Went to bad last night feeling pretty good then woke up and it all went downhill from there. I have 5 really deep, inflamed bumps on my face, never used to get this kind of acne before and now after doing some research online I've scared myself into thinking it's only going to get worse and spread.

Both good and bad today. Good because I haven't had to deal with painful cysts the past two weeks and on the whole the state of my acne seems milder even though theres a lot. And bad because my skin seems more oily than usual , yuck.

Trying not to think about it too much - I have too many exams/assessment to worry about instead : P

Really good! :D My face has been really smooth and clear for about 2 days now! Yay! No doubt it will go bad again in a few days but I'm enjoying it while it lasts! :D

I'm pretty happy with how my face looks right now. Acne is finally fading in a way. Haven't been on here for a while. Read my blogs if you want to know more about my story and my current journey.

I am not feeling anything about my acne today!!!

I woke up and looked at myself in the mirror and almost cried, then I slathered on make up like I always do, and wondereed why I couldn't just look like that without make up like all the other girls in the world seem to... but THEN...

I solved a major crisis at work, found 3 pairs of shoes for R200 (about $25 for all THREE!!), and these are proper shoes that were going for R200 each:) And now I am eating my favorite thing: Chip and cheese roti roll. And I don't even care about the calories and how it's ging to affect my face cos I feel so gooooooood!!!

I thought of kale chips when you said chips and cheese! I can make raw cheesy kale chips. I want to make some today.

It is so good for you... nutritious, so I feel great after eating, plus it taste so good.. it is my favorite raw food. I've been playing diablo 3 a lot lately which helps a lot not to think about my skin. My skin is healing, but still have redness. I gotta stop playing too much :X I gotta exercise and enjoy the sunny beautiful weather. I will just play at night. :)

My face isn't looking too, too bad. The sun helps clear it up a lot! Doesn't really matter how my face looks right now anyway though because I almost never see anyone. I have to work a 70 hour week.. alone... aha. Get up.. work.. sleep.. work. I can't wait for Sunday and not working aha. It has been busy and pretty boring, but on the plus side I'm making money! I'll have to post pictures this weekend with the treatment I've been doing. I'm getting so close. I just get 3-4 small-regular sized zits a day. I want it gone completely aha.

I wish the sun worked to clear my skin! That would be great seeing as it's always sunny here. I burn way too easily though - so if mildly sunburnt my skin appears better just because all the redness of acne blends in :P

you know I think I have to do the same thing, stay off this site for a while.

At first I thought it was great to find it--and it is great to see youre not alone--but it can become obsessive at least for people like me with manic tendancies. I actually think my skin is worse now than it was (on my face my body acne is nearly gone).

I might just stop for a week and see if it helps at least mentally.

Its no fun to have acne on the brain 24/7 whistling.gif(

This will be my last post for a week starting now and Im not going to be on this site until next week.

wish me luck.

The weather is so nice today! I am going out. I need to buy a tube for my bicycle to ride it later or tomorrow for a couple of miles by myself. It is nice to go cycling at a trail by yourself. I love it.

About my skin: It is actually healing! I've been ignoring my skin lately. What I did was stop searching for bumps that will form. I had a few on left cheek, but I ignored it and so it hasn't formed yet. I think the new natural spot treatment gel is helping. I gotta order more 'cause running out. I got 3 small zits around mouth which they are painful, even though they are small.. My forehead is looking good, but still a mess 'cause of new scars and red marks. I don't have ugly pimples anymore.. they sucked. Now I have to deal with redness. I do still breakout sometimes on forehead, but not as bad.

Oh, and I am addictive to Diablo 3 which keeps me busy at night or sometimes during the day because I don't wanna play games in the day as I wanna exercise, read, and enjoy the weather.

Feeling down about my acne. Today it is inflamed AND painful. I have been faithfully following my regimen for 13 weeks and my acne seems to be yo yoing. And to top it off, i AM actually taking care of my body with diet and exercise and so far, that has NOT translated to my face. Definitely feel like crying. Add to that the fact that i suffer from depression.....well....enough said.

I'm glad that I am actually going to the gym more often. I am going to the gym right now! I hope to manage to go almost everyday. Except on weekends 'cause I ride bicycle for a couple of miles. My skin is looking OK, still breaking out with a few zits, but forehead is getting better after all the mess. Those pimples left ugly scars >_<. Lots of small scars that are red. Oh well.

Just when your skin is healing, but then you break out with 3-4 zits on face. sucks. I got like 4 around mouth which are noticeable and 2 on cheeks along with red marks and might break oout more near those red marks.. probably affected or something. I do apply acne spot treatment on that area. I wonder how long this process of pushing toxins out of the skin takes.. I am not even sure if it is doing that, but I hope so. The Indian aztec clay and witch hazel got such good reviews, but they aren't doing great on my skin unless it takes a while for this to works, then OK.
