Well it's nearly 1am and im actually feeling good that I'm in bed alone and can stay up reading a million posts on acne.org without bein judged! When Im alone is the only time I feel totaly myself coz who am I gonna hide from? So feel pretty good right now thanks to y'all but that's cos there's no mirrors around!!
so does your skin look really clear?
Not yet because of red marks . But I had 30+ pimples a little while ago and they are all gone. My redness aren't that bad as I applied aloe vera fresh. I only have one active small pimples. My skin is smooth when I touch it. I really hope not to break out bad anymore.
It is taking long to heal these redmarks because I these were the painful one, probably cystic , not sure. I accidentally popped them all.
My skin looks the best it has in months, but I have 2 huge painful pimples on my forehead. I hope I can pop them by tonight. They are painful and angry and nasty. Bummer. I highly suggest Paula choices BHA exfoliaters. I have had only 1-2 tiny whiteheads in the past 2 weeks of using it, along with a few from purging right away. My skin doesn't have any clogged pores anymore, other than my forehead which has always been oily and been an issue. But I do suggest the exfoliant.
Today my skin feels so smooth.. I never had a skin like this before.. feels natural and healthy.. probably 'cause of natural products I've been using. I decided to stop applying chemicals. My skin got worse by doing this, but it was worth it because I don't want chemicals. Hopefully my scars minimize or fades ;\. I'm gonna save money once I find a new job to do the laser treatment, to remove some ugly scars. I prefer treating it naturally which I will for a while and see how it goes.

You've seen a lot of results w.Aloe? I have been using fresh aloe every night for about 2-3 weeks and I started to notice a slight difference but then had a huge break out so now I'm not so sure.
Yeah, it did reduce redness a lot. Were you clear for a while before that huge break out?
Feeling really good actually. Applied fresh aloe vera this morning, keeps skin at bay. I hate that i strive for perfection when its not possible, no one has perfect skin. At times i dont want to go out till my skin is perfect which is wrong since im wasting my life away. :/ bittersweet I guess.
Hope you all are having a good day! I know its hard, but where all beautiful acne or no acne, were still human.
So far so good.. I want to click a few pages back and see myself writing how i felt about my skin.. it was terrible.
Now my skin is finally healing, even though I have red marks which is very noticeable in the sun, but I gotta be patient. I just hope not to break out again like a while ago.. trying not to worry about it. When I touch my skin, it is so smooth.. I never had it like this. I think it was the jojoba oil as it tricks the skin not to produce oil. My skin used to look greasy. It was never dried.. always dang oily.

Not clear exactly but doing really well. I'm recovering as we speak. The Aloe is soothing so that can't be bad ha - I am going to lay off chemicals now (witch hazel, differin) and see what happens.

YEah, it is! Aloe vera is used in most natural product. I like aloe vera (fresh) because it is pure. I love how smooth it makes my skin.
So im feeling alright today. Face is mainly clear. I have these 3 little congested pores that I can't seem to get rid of ugh! They look similar to a blackhead but the black doesn't show like its under the skin. And i have no idea how to get rid of it! Any ideas? Kinda makes me sad. its fucking up my whole look.
@nfamousjade I think those are clogged pores ur describing so it's a whitehead that needs to be unclogged. Try using a bha or an aha for exfoliation, I have a few of those and they're harder to treat than inflamed acne!
Feeling ok ish today, a couple of healing spots and the rest is ok it's just the PIH that makes it all look worse than it is! Annoyed by these bloody clogged pores on my chin tho, so frigging stubborn! Ahh *sigh*
@FreeOneDay thanks! Thats what i was guessing they were. They are so annoying! I'm getting Dan's AHA+ hopefully that works.
Well so far my day has gone well some lady was called me gorgeous today which was very nice but I felt ugly. The left side of my cheek is getting a little funky. Those whiteheads are the only thing I can look at. Which makes me feel ugly, instead of me looking at my whole face. Hoping to get Dan's Aha soon so I can clear up the last scars I have left to finally see my whole face clear. Its been a long hard road, I feel so close to being clear but yet so far. :/
I ordered dans aha+ too keep us updated I would love to know if it gets rid of those whiteheads since I have them too! x
Oh and btw @nfamousjade I'm sure whoever that person was that called u beautiful was right! Stay beautiful everyone ¤
HOrrible day. My skin has been clearing up each day for the past 2 weeks with no new pimples on my cheeks. This morning I woke up to shave only to find a nasty big whitehead ready to pop, and possibly another pimple coming up. I looked in the mirror and I was so torn at what I saw. Seems like all my progress just got shut down. Mhereafter is so broken right now thinking I was making progress and it's all gone it seems. IM spending the day in bed I don't give a fuck.
@FreeOneDay I will definitely will keep you guys posted! I'm actually thinking about starting the regime but still not sure.....and thanks so much! I really appreciate the compliment. were all beautiful its just taking us a little longer to realize it. Dang acne. Lol
Well today im feeling pleasant.. trying not to worry about my flaws so much. I had to wear a dot of make up to cover this stupid clogged pore. I just have to be thankful i dont have any real active acne right now. Thinking aabout trying the regime to get that perfect Breakout free complexion. Is that asking too much? Lol well have a good day guys. Take one day at a time.
