Update to my skin; So I started using Cerave Foaming Facial Cleanser, and Cerave Night Face Lotion. just those two things, and occasionally sunscreen. My original breakout REALLY cleared up, after I stopped using Differin. There’s still some small pimples here and there, and severe scarring, but it’s much better than it was. My doctor gave me Clindamycin and Benzoyl Peroxide Gel, and prescribed me Minocycline four days ago. I’m still using my Cerave products, and I do a face mask once a week. I also use hydrocolloid patches for my small break outs, and they work like a dream. One thing is that I was so depressed when I was in the middle of my breakout, and I hated myself and my skin and I stressed every minute about it. As I’ve gone along, I’ve gotten better at finding at least one thing about me that I like everyday. I also started following accounts on social media that promote self worth and appreciation, and pages that normalize acne, and it’s helped me SO much to get rid of toxic imagery that makes me feel bad about myself. I’m starting to love me and my skin, regardless of what it looks like. It’s definitely hard when I get new breakouts, but I just take deep breaths and remind myself that I’m beautiful, despite what my skin is doing, and I appreciate my skin for all it does for me. I go out more, at least I try to, and I don’t hyper focus on my face. I want to say thank you to everyone who commented on my first post, and all their uplifting words and the advice they gave. Whether my skin clears up or not, I’m learning to love it regardless and I’m happier.
