Accutane Day 37 (very very positive)

All I have left now is fading red marks :) skin feels great. This stuff saved my life! Haha. (Just being a little dramatic). My lips are still sooooo dry. I use polysporin lip balm every 20-30 minutes or my lips will break when I smile.

The lighting makes my skin look better than it actually is. It has improved drastically, but it's not QUITE as good as it looks in these photos. PS I look really mad in these pictures, but I'm not.

Accutane Day 30

Well... there is no denying that this stuff works! All of my cystic pimples are continuously shrinking into the skin. Even compared to yesterday, the redness of my marks has decreased. My skin is very dry and flaky (yes!). My face even feels tight! :) There is still the possibility of another break out, but my fingers are crossed!! Go accutane go!

Accutane Day 29

Today is day 1 of week 5 on my Accutane journey. I am now on 60mg a day instead of 30mg. My face feels significantly better. It doesn't hurt anymore to touch or lay on either side of my face. It doesn't appear much different than a week or two ago, but I definitely can see that this stuff works. My face no longer feels like it's crawling with bugs. I have no oil. Yay! My pores aren't as clogged with crap like before. I have a lot of red marks and scabs still, but nothing new. I decided to stop wearing foundation because it's too much of a hassle.. and it doesn't even completely cover the blemishes so what's the point? And I don't want to be fake anymore. Nobody cares as much about my skin as I do. Hahaha.
Here are today's pics:

Day 24

Here is my face today

Accutane Day 23 (Huuuuuugggeeee update)

This morning I woke up and realized, "Wow. My face doesn't hurt a single bit today." I looked in the mirror and was in pleasant shock. This photo will answer the question "why?" I made it through the initial break out. I was so upset with the initial break out because I wasn't expecting it. This is all worth it.

Phasing out of initial breakout (I hope)

Today is day 22 of my accutane journey. My skin feels really settled down today. I still have a lot of scabs and it's not pretty, but at least I'm not in pain anymore. I really hope that I don't have anymore breakouts. That last one was devastating.

Update already

Okay I know I already posted today, but this is too amazing not to post. I just took a shower and used my really gentle Shiseido facial cleanser (expensive shiz) and it literally washed away like 3 layers of skin. I still have several bumps, but my scabs came off just with the cleanser. It looks very very red, but my pores are closed and my face is settled without any oil. So.... I decided to do something I would normally never do. After I put on my Shiseido moisturizer, I put on foundation very lightly. My face is just too red to go out in public without doing something about it. Here is a photo. It doesn't look FLAWLESS and I didn't expect it to, but it does look a lot nicer.
