Let me know how that apple cider vinegar works out for you this week... I'm thinking about trying it but I'm on the fence still.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guys lets not worry about our pimples anymore. If they want to form just let them. Im so tired of worrying about them, which stresses us out and causes more pimples. Its an endless cycle. Lets just hope for the best.....even tho it can be extremely difficult. I know. But lets try. smile.png

 

 

When I think a pimple will form, but then I ignore it, they don't form at all. If I keep looking at it, etc.. it will be inflamed

. ;\

 

 

Yeah like right now I had to scratch off a clogged pore I had because I knew if I didn't It would be there forever. Hopefully it heals in a few days with aloe Vera so I'm TRYING not to worry. And I'm also getting a pimple due to my clogged pore. But I'm relieved because those two things will finally go away. Looking at the positive BUT I hope it doesn't leave a huge scar that aloe can't fix. Wishing for the best, I'm not worrying about it. It is what it is. Pimples happen.

 

 

I love how aloe vera leaves me skin so smooth. But yeah, I am also relieved. My skin is looking great and I don't have any active pimples. They dry so fast if I break out. I've been applying tea tree oil directly to my pimples without diluting. I saw I need to do this, but I will just use this when I apply aztec healing clay. I will add a few drops into the mix. I saw it works. I'm just gonna think positive and ignore my skin and keep myself busy. ^^

 

 

Yeah I just got my Aztec healing clay yesterday, haven't used it yet. But I'm excited to try it. I also got Bragg apple cider vinegar as a toner, used it last night. Seemed to work pretty good. I'm gonna give it a week. I have a little cyst from my clogged pore on my forehead :/ not too worry about it. I'm not gonna mess with it, don't want a scar. I don't know what to put on it to make it go away. Tho sad.png

 

 

You'll like it. It makes your skin so smooth as a baby face. It does deep clean your skin.

I sure will! I'm trying it undiluted though. I have really tough skin. I love using a toner and I heard ACV was great for skin and for healing scars. I definitely need that! Lol

I love using toner as well, in fact, I HAVE a toner I love. But... it's like ridiculously expensive and I can't keep paying that price. But my face is finally getting better so I'm worried to try anything new and ruin the progress I'm making... *sigh*

Omg i know how you feel! I had an expensive toner too and my face is also clearing up but i ran out. So it was a perfect excuse to try ACV, I did some research its not supposed to be used undiluted it can cause Burns and irritation Yikes! So Im just gonna add water to it. But so far so good. Ill keep you updated! :)

Haha, wow! And yeah, everyone says the same thing about tea tree oil, but I always use it undiluted sooo.. If I ever attempt ACV I'll probably start off undiluted. I might just try it out on my shoulders for awhile to see how it goes. But I'm not sure I'll get an accurate idea of how it works since nothing ever helps clear my shoulders...

But yeah, definitely keep me updated! Hope it works!

So I have this pimple that just came to the head right now, and it hurts. Should I pop it or leave alone? I'm thinking about leaving it be. :/

Personally as soon it comes to a head, I pop that bitch. I would rather have a red dot and start the healing process than have a white nasty looking bump. Apply some witch hazel after it stops bleeding and be done with it.

I know, right? But i just hate the scarring part, I'm so done with it! So I was like I'm not going anywhere for like a week so I might as well let it heal itself. But idk its looking mighty red and it hurts. So I might take your advice and POP THAT BITCH! LOL THANKS :)

Yeah I here ya. Just wash your face, use tissues and squeeze all the shit out, stop the bleeding, apply witch hazel and move on. I get red marks either way whether I pop it or not and if I don't it just stays until I do pop it. Mine never dry out unless I use BP and I have a red mark from the BP. Hate that stuff.

Dude I know! I'm trying to get off that stuff right now. I ordered some natural products to use instead of it. But im still a little afraid my face will freak without it. :/ r u still using it regularly? I'm going to start cleansing with raw honey instead of my BP cleanser plus I apply BP after, so im definitely going on a ride. I'm screwed. Lol smh haha

Meh, I can't complain at the moment. A lot of the redness that has been bugging me for quite some time now is finally starting to go away (Hallelujah!). Unfortunately, my scars are still visible, but you can hardly see them, so I'm happy that they're healing. That's pretty much it from me. My skin isn't exactly "crystal clear", but it's getting there.

Feeling great! My skin has healed a lot. Marks are fading slowly. I usually get tiny zits with whitehead. It is the essential oil that i apply, it is doing its job.

They usually go away in a day and it isn't that noticeable. I hope it stays this way..

Soooo....today is the day i decided to wean off BP. I wish I could just quit cold Turkey, i hate the fact that i even used this stuff. Smh. So I will gradually be stopping my usage from twice a day to once a day. So my skin doesn't freak. Wish me luck! :) and I have the biggest whitehead on my forehead, that I really don't feel like popping. I'm trying to be strong. Lol

Yeah, do that!! If you apply BP twice day, do it once, then drop to every other day, etc. I didn't do that at all, but I was fine 'till 2-3 months later. I hope it doesn't happen to you. :\

My acne's come back due to massive hormonal fluctuations, and my old regimen wasn't working. At the moment I'm just popping the spots that have come to a head with a comedone extractor and washing my face with just water more often than I usually would and using a salicylic acid over night lotion. My skin has gone really soft now that I'm not using all of those products on my face and the dry skin around my nose and chin has dissapeared now.

 

I got a small cyst on my chin the other day. I burst that sucker. Thankfully when the (huge and ugly) scab fell off there was no scar underneath. I was amazed that a tiny spot leaves a red mark on my face but that the cyst left no trace once it was gone, but definitley relieved.

Breaking out and the only thing I've changed is taking Prozac for anxiety and depression. Horrible day today.

If it is really soft then that's good! My skin is really soft now and so I have not breaking out with big pimples anymore. Now I usually get tiny ones with whitehead which I never got these when I broke out a lot.. I was getting a lot of cystic, but not those big ones. They were so painful. Now I am glad I don't get those anymore. I am dealing with red marks and new acne scars. >:| I hope you get better! *hugs*
