Here's the wrap-up video I promised, although I got a little tilted at the end:




Anyway, moving on: I decided to keep my current facial regimen simple. I don't want to poke the dragon until it breathes fire at me again, so here's what I currently use:

Bath gel/wash: Pretty much anything I want. I favor Suave, Bath and Body Works, and Lush, but it's whatever.
Face washing: Bar soap, which I never, ever used before I started Accutane. I prefer Yardley but I also like Dove or anything from Lush. Currently I'm using some Snowcake that Jay sent me.
Moisturizer: Aveeno with SPF 15. It's very light. If I feel I need more, I use Nivea Soft moisturizing cream.
Lotion: At first, I was going with scentless lotion from Vaseline, but now I let myself use fun scented stuff. Currently I have a mandarin scent from Suave!
Makeup:: I still use Bare Minerals, which has been the kindest on my skin. Under it, I use a green stick by NYC to cover up my red, and a concealer from Mary Kay, just to even out my skin tone. Then I use the Bare Minerals on top.
Misc: Baby wipes to remove makeup, also the Bio Oil Experiment (TM)
Hey everyone :) I wanted an update because I'm doing a little experiment! Accutane, despite all of the call-this-number-if-you've-been-injured-by-Accutane law firm commercials, has left me with fabulous, blemish-free skin. Seriously, it doesn't even look like I ever had acne! And to show this, I'll be updating soon with back, face, neck, etc pics because I look even better than I did from my last month!

Anyways, I got some Bio Oil for Christmas. Jay swears that it will solve your problems, so I want to see if it will make some of my facial scars fade. I also have one on my back from a bug bite (possibly?). I'm two days in, and the instructions are to apply the oil twice daily. I'm supposed to do this for three months, so let's see!

Here's a random picture of me for Bio Oil: Month 1:
What I look like 1/10/2011

The red marks on my nose are from my glasses, that's not anything crazy going on.

Look at my friggin forehead! It's lovely!

Anyways, I'll get back to you with wrap up pics. Next up: A video and my current regimen.
Hey ya'll, I had my third appointment. :D My face looks even better than the last time I posted, even, and Dr. Butler's very happy with the progress. She's moving to California now! :( But I'm going back to Dr. Syed and/or his new female partner who is coming in the next few weeks. =D So I'm okay with it, although I'll miss her because she fixed my face!

Getting blood drawn was easy now but I think the lady hit a nerve cuz my arm ached like the minute I left the lab on Wednesday and it still aches a little today. @_@ Maybe she took the blood out with a shovel, I dunno.

Also, my neck is red and itchy, but I think that's just my skin reacting to me switching to a new moisturizer.

Pics to follow but OMG, next time I have an appointment I'll be getting ready for England! OMG OMG OMG
