I'm not very happy today. I know it has barely been two weeks, but come on. My skin is not changing.
Skin status:
- forehead: dry, tight, covered in clogged pores, feels like sandpaper. Sometimes I'll get an zit that's deep under the skin and they are painful.
- nose: same as forehead minus the occasional under skin zits.
- cheeks, neck, and chin: soft, but still getting big gross zits occasionally and my pigmentation has not faded.
- back, arms, and chest: rough skin and scattered clogged pores, big zits on arms and back.
I'm worried if my skin will ever be able to moisturise itself; I mean I have been drying it out and irritating it twice a day for 10 years. I'm worried that I'm going to have to rely on moisturisers to have some skin elasticity. Which also means I'll probably need a cleanser because of the moisturiser.
It's one thing to have acne, but it's another to have tight dry irritated skin all the time. It's impossible to wear makeup on dry irritated skin. It feels gross and it looks gross. So I don't like to go out very much.
My plan:
- just keep at it.
- rinse after workouts
- yogurt if itchy
- olive oil if unbearably dry
I'm going to give it until April 27th. If my skin has not improved by then then I'm going to be extremely depressed and hopeless. The day after I'll book an appointment with my god damn dermatologist, and probably have to go back to washing and moisturising day and night to have the closest to normal skin as my skin will allow.
I am so choked. Please, oh please, work.
