What up chicas?! I got back on Sunday from Puerto Rico (HO). I’ve just been swamped at work. I’ll post photos today after I get back home or maybe tomorrow when the hubs goes to play golf.
Today I went to see a dermatologist. I’ve always had acne, but these past 2 weeks I’ve just been fed up with my skin. He told me that I just have a lot of clogged pores and prescribed Retin-A Micro and Benza Clin. I’ll let you guys know how that turns out. For you lucky bitches with perfect skin, can I just say that I hate you? I’m 30 and I’m still breaking out. How sad is that? My uncle goes, “Hey Sujan! You still teenajah?” then proceeds to laugh. Yeah real funny…you bastage. That just cost you your Happy Birthday call from me this year. I sing it in my pretend opera voice.
Man I wish I had perfect skin for my wedding but then I thought I’ll just photoshop everything! Who else gets annoying breakouts? And I’m not talking about just that ONE pimple on your otherwise flawless face. I’m also thinking about photo-rejuvenation. Has anyone done that? I’m also thinking about removing the tattoo that I got after a breakup with an ex. Man, girls do really stupid things after breakups.
i so doctor my photos! photoshop is awesome!
my friend uses this prescription line called obagi. this blog i read - bryanboy - said that he had really bad skin until he started using it (he’s posted before and after pictures). it’s supposed to be really really good.
I’m removing 2 tattoos right now (1 I got after a bad break-up)…It takes forever, is mucho dinero, and hurts, but it’s worth it!
i used differin a while back.
i think its less harsh on your skin then retinA.
try drinkin green tea also, it always helps clear out my skin.
Well, Mrs. Ladybug, I’m ALLERGIC to the sun. So I’d rather have bad skin than the inability to be out in the sun longer than 10 minutes without blistering. What the heck am I going to do about our outdoor wedding? My sunscreen makes me look like Powder.
watch out for retina-A. i tried it once and it made my skin even worse. i broke out more and my skin was always red and dry. if’s a matter of clogged pores, go w/ differin. it’s also a vitamin-a derivative and should do the same job w/o the harshness of retin-A. i’ve been using it and love it. also helps w/ the wrinkles too - not that you have any… 
I’ve never had perfect skin…but it’s getting better as I age…(at the ripe ol’ age of 20, I can’t believe I’m saying that…lol).
Let us know how it all works out.
welcome back mrs. ladybug. you are my favorite blogger!
I just made an appointment with a dermatologist for the boy and myself. Photoshop or not, I don’t want to look like this on my wedding day. My biggest problem is I get cyst-like pimples that last for weeks. They better fix me up good. No amount of vitamins, cleansing products, water, and healthy eating seem to be helping.
dels: you are one of my favorite readers! haha
i feel better knowing that you all have facial imperfections too. i don’t feel so alone.
amber: please email me back. i’d like to hear more about your skin condition.
jessica: when i went to my derm he said for the deep cyst like pimples they give cortisone shots. i get those every now and then too. i feel ya girl!
my sister started breaking out with those small pimples all over. She tried proactive with no luck, but the pimple-ettes all disappeared in a matter of days after she started using obagi. she swears by it. i think it’s pretty affordable too.
if you have cystic acne, you’ll need something stronger than topicals — most likely doxycycline or another oral antibiotic. It usually takes 4-6 weeks to see some results, so you should give yourself sufficient time before you wedding. hope this helps!
have you ever given proactiv a shot? it really works! only problem is that it tends to dry out my skin a little much. after the 3 step treatment, make sure to use another moisturizer on top of that.
i’ve been breaking out like crazy lately too. as of now, my most DISTINCT one is my big red third eye … right in between my brows. it’s shiny bc i put neosporin on it AND … im shielding it with the bridge of my glasses, altho it slides down and sits comfortably at the spot where it basically displays my third eye in plain view.
* sigh *
i used to put neosporin on my pimples-it would heal the first one pretty fast, but then i would simply get another one right around the same area. i just stick to good old clearasil.
i’ve tried proactiv and clearasil. both do nothing for me. i also tried cleocin t but right when it clears up i get break outs. i tried tazorac before and i thought it was really good.
i’m also a picker. i can’t help it.
I’m prone to cystic acne (gross, I know) and my esthetician gave me a glycolic acid peel. I peeled like s nake afterwards but it’s reduced my acne, lightened my scarring, and for a few weeks after the peel I was less oily.
I use Desitin on my really bad pimples. Yes, the baby butt cream!! I thought it was wacked when I first heard the trick, but it dries the mean pimples out just like it dries out baby rashes.
Mrs. Bee, I don’t see any posts on the bryanboy blog you’re talking about. Is it protected?
I used to use BenzaClin and it worked for me, it’s just really expensive.
Good luck with it!
