3 years after finishing Accutane
When I look back at the first picture in this album, I seriously can't believe my eyes.
Now my skin behaves normally. There's no abnormal redness.
Not a day has gone by that I don't think about my skin. I have some faint reminders on my cheeks in the way of tiny scars, but all in all, I'm clear and smooth.
I am still using St. Ives Apricot Scrub twice daily, and Jojoba Oil as moisturizer.
I use sunscreen if I know I'll be outside in for extended amounts of time, and I don't touch my face (and I barely allow my boyfriend to touch my face...it's like an automatic reaction to swat him away!).
I wash my pillowcase quite often. I take great care in making sure I don't overstress myself (which was really hard when I was graduating...!), and I make sure I eat healthy more often than not.
Don't be afraid of working out & sweating. It will heal you from the inside, just like your healthy diet. Just make sure you get clean after.
I think all of this combined has helped me stay clear.
You just have to stay conscious to how you treat your face, from the inside out.
