I had a very stressful day my friend Lauren. I had thirty one vital signs I took, I put patients to bed, I fed patients, and now Im exhausted. Hopefully, you and I can chat some more on the org tomorrow! Right now Im gonna go watched taped episodes of Family Feud on Tivo
Last night I washed my face with my basis for sensitive skin, I applied my clenia and then I decided to skip my moisturizer. I only have one new pimple and my other pimples are drying up already! I 
it stays that way
I am not gonna wear make up today because I do not feel like it. Im hella tired still, my skin doesnt look as horrible this morning, and Im not in the mood for that whole applying make up for half an hour ordeal.
Im drinking another glass of green tea with honey at this very moment
Someone asked me again what happened to my face, that I was looking clear before. I said, "I dont feel like talking about it" If one more person asks me that, I am gonna take my dignity back and say, "That is a very personal question. Do not every ask me that again"
Im gonna upload pics into my gallergy from now on. No more imageshack.usMy redmarks are starting to fade. My face looked horrible yesterday and it looks way different today
Hey!
It's so strange how faces can look horrible one day and the very next, they start to shape up! Since your redmarks are starting to fade, and you're not getting as many active spots per day, I think that's a really good sign that the meds are kicking in! 😀 It really hasn't been that long since you began this new regimen, and already you see an improvement! And what's also good is you know if you do get a few active spots, if you're in the mood, you can cover them up pretty easily with the minerals! I just thought the last picture I saw showed that your skin looked less inflamed and angry lol if it gets angry... I sure know it makes US angry! 👿

My face looked better and then boom! Im sleeping and then I could feel this pimple directly under my lip so my lipline I guess. I had a feeling it was gonna form there last night so I put medicine (my clenia) on it. It didnt help. Ive read that clenia isnt supposed to be used near the lips so I just put a very small pea sized dot amount of 5.5% NeoBenzo my dermatologist gave me; its a sample of it. I also have one above my lip. I hate this! It looks like I have herpes and I get so upset because I am the only one in my work place with moderate acne. There are people who had moderate acne before but their acne is now completely gone. Im the only person there who has active acne 🙁
I think today I am gonna go back to using my old toothpaste. I have been using this pepperment toothpaste my dad and I saw at Trader Joes. It tastes horrible and I think it could be whats contributing to the breakouts around my lips. My old toothpaste is biotene for dry mouth. I like it a lot 
Hi Molly 
I eat frozen berries for breakfast too. I put them in a blender jug with some frozen mango, leave it in the fridge overnight and then in the morning whizz it up with some unsweetened, organic natural yoghurt to make a smoothie of sorts.
I can't eat the berries frozen though, I'm so cold when I getback from work that I just curl up in a blanket with tea.
Oh and I also have a spoonful of manuka honey every evening because its meant to be antibacterial and very good for you.
Yum! That all sounds delicious!
Im adding one thing to my regimen. I am still using clenia all over my face but its not meant to be used around the lips. I am getting a lot of really painful pimples above my lip and around my lipline. I am apply NeoBenzo to my LIP AREA ONLY

Again with the talking of DELICIOUS berries and yogurt and honey and making me HUNGRY!!! haha That's one great-sounding smoothie for you to try!
So why do you think you're breaking out especially around your lips/lipline? What is NeoBenzo? I never heard of that before. Does it help? And I don't know why the spots keep appearing around your lipline either! It seemed for the longest time I would break out on my upper lipline or right under the bottom lip. Then I started paying extra attention to that area when I washed and applied my topicals, and it cleared up. I think it just jumps around some people's faces lol. Sometimes it appears one place, then the other... seriously crazy stuff!
Ciao!

Yeah Im gonna go grocery shopping later this morning. Im probably breaking out around my lipline because of the toothpaste I was using. Yesterday, I went back to biotene toothpaste so I :pray: it clears up soon because I look like a freak! NeoBenzo is a benzoyl peroxide. My dermatologist gave me a couple of samples of it. Its 5.5%. That is so true. When I was in highschool I had acne all over my face but especially the forehead. Now my forehead just has some noninflamed acne (probably the weather) but I dont have any inflamed acne there. Now my inflamed acne is all on my chin, along my jawline and unfortunately my lips
YAY! My gallery pics have been approved

Hey Molly! I just had two thoughts lol only two! haha
1 - You said you just got a new lip gloss. Could that be the cause of your recent lipline breakouts? I know you also used new toothpaste. Since you are back to the toothpaste you like, if your lips continue to break out, perhaps give your new lip gloss a thought.
**UNLESS**
2 - Your lips are a part of your lower face/jaw/chin/etc. area which is the area in which you are breaking out. Your lipline breakouts might have nothing to do at all with your toothpaste or lip gloss, but instead have to do with where you are breaking out!
Either way, those were my TWO thoughts AND death to breakouts!!!

No the lipgloss was purchased after these breakouts on my lips. I think it is the toothpaste and it could also be the bobbi brown lipstick I used a couple of weeks ago. I also was using Burt Bees which is very comedogenic. I didnt realize it until someone send me the link to zerozits.com and told me it was a comedogenic chapstick. That I threw in the garbabe as soon as I found out it could be contributing to my lip breakouts lol I dont usually ever breakouts along my lipline but this past month, Ive been getting so many there
Either way, those are my TWO thoughts AND death to breakouts!!! :box: LOL
So do you think you are starting to see improvement yet? Your more recent pics look like you have made some progress.
Some of my pimples have flattened but others just stick around and refuse to go away. Ive had some of them for two or three weeks, I dont remember which. Did you see my new gallery pics?

Yep - the one's you took on the 6th, right? It looks like the spots are drying out and your skin looks less irritated.

Yes those are the ones. Some of the spots are drying up and some arnt. My overall skin texture is less red but some of the pimples that refuse to go away are still pretty red
I have no new pimples yet this morning I hope it really is the toothpaste and not something else because those pimples are already healing up nicely. I would hate to break out there again
My face is feeling super dry! Last night I skipped the Clenia and just moisturized.

Now isn't that a really EXCELLENT and SATISFYING feeling waking up with no active spots???!!! Just keep it in perspective that you will probably still be breaking out as your skin gets used to this new routine, but enjoy the days that you have no breakouts just a little bit more! In other words lol, because it's late and I'm probably making no sense, enjoy each and every day with or without new ones popping up trying to spoil your day! 😎 And as an additional thought, if that 5.5% BP is working so well around your lipline, I wonder if it would work well on the spots as a spot treatment over the Clenia? :think:

Yes this is wonderful! I havent had no new spots in over a year! I hope it continues! Yes I have been using the bp as a spot treatment but lately I havent been using the clenia at night only in the mornings. My face is so dry, peeling, and its not comfortable. My pimples are drying up though and Im so thrilled about it 🙂
Haha There you go again making me hungry when I read your posts!!! Your strawberry smoothie sounded so yummy that today I made a delicious juice using an apple, carrot and strawberries! It was a very pretty color, like a sunset because of the carrot and strawberries, but more importantly... it was yummy! 
It sounds great that your spots are beginning to dry up too! I think between your 5.5% BP and your Clenia, you will knock those little guys out once and for all! I really hope the day comes quickly that you can focus on enjoying fun treats for your face, like a honey mask, or eggwhite mask, and enjoy pampering your skin instead of always having to feel so bad about it.
Ciao!
