Hello all! 

Though it may not look like it, my skin feels pretty smooth. I still have 1-2 new acne bumps appear every so often, but these are very very small and tend to heal within 2-3 days.

I took these photos right next to the window this time, so hopefully it gives you a clearer idea of the progress. 

It's time for me to buy some new lip balm. I've used up about 7 sticks since being on accutane. The dryness is no joke. There have been times where i've yawned and tore the corners of my lips. Hate it.    (=.  =')

The skin around my temples and hairline has become pretty flaky, so i've been using this super awesome hydrating sheet mask made by a company called 'My Beauty Diary'. The pack i've been using is called '2-Step Africa Hydrating pack'.  It smells lovely and leaves my face feeling less like a raisin.

This is my last month of taking 60mg. For the next 2 months, I will be bumped up to 80mg. I can't wait.

Hello i'm back!!

Due to personal reasons i've been absent, so there was no update in the last fortnight. Apologies for that.

Anyway, i've been taking 60mg for 2 weeks so far and things are starting to pick up. 

For the last 4 months, things have been up and down when it came to inflammation and minor breakouts, but finally... in the 5th month, I can safely say, my chin is completely flat and has been for a good while. *air punch*

Lucky for some, it only took 2 months to clear up a lot, but for me it took around 5 months. Not bad, but it's so arduous and I can't wait to get it over and done with.

My left and right cheek are almost flat, with only a few small acne bumps here and there. These should hopefully clear up over the next month.

Although my face feels almost flat, the redness and old scars are still there... but I promise it really isn't lumpy. It looks like it, but well you'll judge for yourself.
