Psalm23

Today was a good skin day. I did make the mistake of putting my makeup on in the car. I HATE the way my skin looks in the sunlight, you can really see all of the acne. I did notice that makeup was eas...

My skin is kind of iffy today. It's not horrible looking but it feels bad, really itchy. Probably because I've been too lazy to apply moisturizer today. I have noticed that when I get inflamed spots...

Thanks for your reply! I try to post daily so on the bad days I can look back on here and remember the good days! That way I don't give up! I woke up today with a few new spots, especially on my lef...

Woke up with a few new spots on my left cheek, right beside my nose. Ugh. After washing my face tonight, I am feeling like my skin looks much worse than it has in the past few days. Today is officiall...

Woke up with no new acne again! Yay! However, as the day progressed, I noticed that I was getting an inflamed bump on my forehead. Of course, I picked at it! Ugh. I am noticing that my upper lip is r...

Woke up this morning to no new acne! Yay! My skin is still rough and bumpy but I am noticing that it is getting smoother, especially around my jaw line on the right side. I haven't had smooth skin the...

My skin has been alright these past two days. Thankfully, I've had no new breakouts! Yay! My skin has gone from dry and peeling to very oily. I hope the oil doesn't cause more breakouts. Yesterday, ...

Today was MUCH better than yesterday. I woke up to somewhat clearer skin, although after washing my face just now, I've decided it looks worse than I thought. I guess the biggest difference in today ...

Today has NOT been a good day for me. I've been stressed to the max and my skin is most of my problem. I know if I don't find a way to manage my stress, I wil; never have better skin. I woke up with ...

Today is my official start into week #2 of this journey. I woke up this morning and my skin looked better than it has since I started this. My acne is still there but it appears to be getting smoothe...

Today went pretty well. I woke up with no new acne, yay! My face has been peeling, especially my nose! My lips are feeling much better today. Tonight is the night that I skip tazorac. I'm nervous tha...

I'm a week in with my tazorac and am experiencing lots of peeling. A little purging, too. I've been using it every other night, when should I start nightly? My skin looks better the morning after I u...

So today is day #6. I've noticed that I have a few pus filled bumps on my face which is new for me. Typically my acne was not like that. I'm having a HARD time resisting the urge to mess with said bum...

I decided to start this log so I can come back to it when I feel like giving up on this new journey! Per my derm's instructions, I was with dove sensitive soap in the morning, followed by a swipe wit...

I have started to notice a bit of purging on my right cheek. My left cheek and forehead seem to be getting a little better at that moment. I was unaware of the 'wait 20 minute' rule for my night cream...

Hi. Your acne looks almost exactly like mine only mine covers my whole face except my nose. I also went to the derm this week and she told me I had a bad case of acne. She prescribed me an antibiotic....

Thanks for responding. The acne pad is clindamycin phosphate. I will start that in the morning after washing my face with dove. My skin looked way better this morning. I fully expect there to be a pu...

Lol, ok maybe 'she swears' was a bit strong. but she did tell me that I wouldn't have a purging period. I am fully prepared to experience one though. Thank you so much for your input and advice!

So today, my dermatologist put me on minocycline and tazorac, also an acne pad that I haven't picked up from the pharmacy yet. Does anyone have any experience with these drugs? She swears they will wo...

So, today the acne on my left cheek seems to be clearing a little but I have noticed that my forehead is worse and the corners of my nose are getting bumpy. I never really get acne on my nose so that ...

I am 27 years old and STILL struggling with acne. Part of me feels bad for complaining because I know it could be much worse but I'm so mad that I'm almost 30 and still have to worry about this. I've...
