Lets start off with a little bit about me. I've had acne more cystic than anything on my skin ever since I can remember- some days better than others. Sometimes my skin would seem so bad that I wouldn't want to leave the house. I tried everything for my skin. Finally, my derm prescribed me accutane. Six months later my skin looked wonderful.. I would look in the mirror to pick and couldn't find anything! A couple months later the acne slowly came back. I went through the process of going on and off accutane 3 times, which would bring me to about 2011-2012. Accutane is a serious drug and my hair started coming out in chunks after I had been on it for the last time- I knew I had to stop it. But what about my skin? I did a lot of research and came across a pill called spironolactone. It typically isn't used to treat acne but does a wonderful job. I visited my derm and had asked if he could put me on it- the answer was yes. He prescribed that and a topical gel, aczone. I only use my topical now and then when I get a break out. My skin looks phenomenal compared to how it did a year ago- granted, I do get a break out every now and then. After all I have been through and finally achieving clear skin I have become an absolute freak about my skin care and over the years I've had plenty trial and errors. I would be happy to share my skin and beauty experience for all you ladies who are suffering- I was always reading peoples blogs about tips and tricks that could help me!
I don't have many pictures of my skin close up anymore but these couple of pictures should give you all a feel of what my skin looked like before..
Horrible cystic acne.. and I couldnt control myself from picking(which is the worst) don't pick!
And now 4 years later but I have finally found the secrets to clear skin!
SO much happier and confident!
