Hey, it's your skin, your body, your journey so no judgement about the choices you make. If it helps, great! I am hoping you meet your goal on the 17th too! I do know what you mean about being out of ...

Sounds like you are responding well to it! I know it doesn't always feel like that when we see the whiteheads pop up and everything going on but it's working. Your skin is working itself through this ...

Good luck with your bloodwork & derm next week!   I have been using Tea Tree too, with good results. It's a fine line between just enough and too much.   Wow, do I know what you mean abo...

Just catching up on your log. Hope your trip goes well! Have fun! I'm sorry to hear about your dad and how this process is bringing up grief again. I guess we always have grief but it ebbs and flows. ...

Oh, very much empathize with the "grumpy tonight." I was having one too so I just went to bed about two hours early! Today, better.   Was catching up on your blog and so happy to hear how much y...

WOW! I do see quite a difference! Amazing it's been 43 days for you already! Yay! The progress is there. I think it is hard to see it in ourselves though.   The red marks and red face on Accutane...

I'm so sorry to hear about the cyst...I know you were hoping your skin would give you a break for this trip. I agree with everything that has been said...try to keep your chin up and think positive. I...

I added Bag Balm to my routine and it's helped with my lips. Sounds like your progress is off to a great start!   I TOTALLY know what you mean about the constant fear of a new cyst, the checking,...

Love that you called this log your "Accutane Adventure" - great attitude! Looks like you had very rapid results and I think your derm is wise to go slow (mine did too) and I believe that really helped...

Congrats on the beginning of your journey! Slow and steady wins the race. I have something on my chin today and I haven't had a new breakout in almost a month, so I had a bit of a panic attack. I had ...

I'm still playing with my Real Purity samples - love that I can try before I buy! Having a hard time as well figuring out my skin tone. Bummer to hear about the Jane Iredale Dream Tint. I read some re...

Hang in there! The breakouts on your chin is just more purging and then healing. They will heal soon. And your skin is probably really happy without the heavier foundation. Good luck!   I am str...

Becca...I could really see progress in your photos! I am so impressed with your positive attitude and it's helpful to read what you write. I believe you are going to have amazing results because you c...

I was so excited by the Real Purity website, I just ordered 7 samples! Yay! Thanks for the tip. A lot cheaper than Jane Iredale, so I am hoping it is a good fit.   I completely understand what yo...

Switching to washing every other day SAVED my scalp. And pre-Accutane I was a must-wash-every day kinda girl.   The makeup thing is quite an issue. I too desire natural products and makeup and th...

2 weeks already wow! Congrats, its nice to have it started and some days under your belt isn't it. Lucky for me I haven't had issues with a itchy scalp. Yet.. Things can still change with that. I hav...

Day 14     Two weeks! Wow, time seems to be flying, but I have a looong way to go. My biggest side effect right now is my itchy scalp. I've used that shea butter masque a couple of times an...

I can't say I have found one I love either. Let me know if you find something and I'll do the same! Will do!!   Day 8     I spoke too soon yesterday when I said my lips hadn't star...

I'm not sure what hive breakouts look like, but I've had random rashes ever since starting Accutane. Mine were patches of little red bumps that just itched like crazy. I also had scaly/red bumpy rashe...

BodyandSoul: Do you use any natural makeup of any kind? Summer   Hi Summer, I have tried so many different things and while I would prefer to use only mineral powder, I find I need liquid makeu...

BodyandSoul:   Do you use any natural makeup of any kind?   Summer

BodyandSoul:   Love the name of your post here. It's awesome! I resonate with everything you wrote and our experiences trying to heal naturally are almost identical. I appreciate the natural appr...

Looks great! I'm enouraged you have gotten such good results with 20 mg as I really don't want to increase. I think we see our skin as so much marked/scarred then others do and I know how hard it is t...
