Skin update September 2013

So Tuesday I met with my dermatologist. I am currently really happy with my skin. I have no fresh break outs only old scaring still. It is easily covered with foundation. I haven't even been using concealer lately. I am so shocked how different my skin now looks compared to old pictures of me.

I have a tutorial that I filmed a few months ago that I never finished editing. My skin has so many bumps on it in the footage. Even with my foundation and concealer the skin looks gross as you can see heaps of bumps on my forehead. I am a bit up in the air as to whether finish editing that video and upload it. Let me know what you think. 

Back on to seeing my dermatologist what he said was that I only need stay on the medication for another two months. Which I am so excited about. Since the pimples are gone I am now just working on getting rid of the redness and scaring. Two months will be amazing to be off the treatment and I will post about it  and film a video.

I also asked my dermatologist about the Clarisonic as I have been dying to get one. Pretty much I got told me to not get one. He said pretty much if you wouldn't put it on your privates that you shouldn't put it on your face. He did see that I had a need for it either. So I am really unsure on whether I will get it once I finish my treatment.

Skin Update: Just Over 2 Months mark

So I have now increased my dosage of Oratane and it is very visible.My skin has gotten a hell of a lot dryer on all over my body. My face is dry too but I am keeping my face from feeling completely tight by using my rose hip oil. My body I have had to change completely my routine. For the first two months I was fine with just using a moisturising body wash, shaving with moisturiser and putting on a moisturiser every so often. After I had up the dosage my body felt dry and had start doing something daily. I am now using coconut oil as I have heard lots of raving reviews about the multiple uses of coconut oil. So far I am loving it but I will write a full review later on when it has been more than a week. I feel like my skin has less breakout now meaning that the worst is finally over and the clearing will begin. hoping that the redness in my skin will go away also. That is enough for this update but I am sure I will have plenty more to tell you soon!

Update: General and Skin

Hi all. 

So I know it has been a while since I have posted and upload a video (I'm currently editing don't worry). I am in the middle of exam study with my first being Tuesday the 26th and my last being Wednesday the 3rd.  After that I will be updating my blog and YouTube a lot. I will finally complete changing my blog over to Blogspot along with now being able to finally being able to reblog all the makeup related posts that I love. For now I need to keep my love makeup to myself as I feel guilty spending to much time blogging when I should be studying, Since third year is kind of a big deal!

Now an much needed update with my skin. I have been taking Oratane for over a month now. I am in the 'freak out before it gets better stage'. My skin has pimples on my cheeks which has always been my clear spot and also on chin neck area which I never have has an issue with pimples. The ones around chin are the worst and have been painful ones as they seem to have a lot of pressure. However the think the worst is almost over and I am seeing signs that improvement is coming. 

I have has the side effects of the medication too with extremely dry (chapped) lips, nose bleeds, Sore joints (aka a lot of back pain) and over all dryness of my face. I need to exfoliate most mornings and feel guilty as I don't want to stop the medication from what is meant to be doing by using too many skin products.

Skin Update

I am starting Oratane tomorrow. I am nervous and excited all at the same time. I am really wishing this will be the answer to my bad skin issues. I am so over having gross skin that needs to be covered up for me to feel pretty. I don't  wear makeup everyday but I don't feel pretty or beautiful without and I want that feeling back.
So wish me luck!
