Week 4

10/3/2002

Four weeks have gone by and finally I'm starting to see some dramatic results! This week my face got so clear I couldn't believe it. During the middle of the week I noticed the blackheads which use to rule my entire nose were gone. Also, directly below my bottom lip, another staging area for several blackheads was clear as well. My cheeks also stayed clear the entire week. Unfortunately, the last two days of this week brought on severe breakouts on my neck and jaw line. All in all it was still a great week! I've noticed that the breakouts I've been getting lately are short lived and not as painful as before. Through all the new breakouts I continue to see improvement in the texture of my skin. My face is constantly getting smoother even though my daily routine has changed a little. I'm still washing my face twice a day, morning and night with Cetaphil Facial Cleanser. But, this week, I haven't applied lotion afterwards. My face still stays soft and smooth without drying out. I stay out of the sun though! Also, the oil has yet to show itself again which may be good for my face but my body is suffering the consequences. My back and arms are peeling in a few spots, nothing major though. You couldn't tell if I didn't show you but I notice it of course. It's not terribly uncomfortable and worth bearing until my face clears up if it continues! Everything else in my routine is the same. My next Dermatologist appointment is on the 10th of Oct. In my opinion, everything is going great!
