JENN'S ACCUTANE JOURNAL

WEEK 12

Week of Dec. 8 thru Dec 14, 2001

Hey all - did I tell you Accutane was a miracle drug? :)~

Seriously, my face is clear. I say this after knocking on wood because after getting excited about a clear week a bad week always seems to follow. Hopefully this will stick though.

All I have left are the red marks. I've now upped my dosage to 800IU of vitamin E. The max is 1000IU so I decided to start taking 400IU for breakfast and night. No reason in particular, just want the red marks to go away ASAP, plus after reading about it I realized it helps a lot of other things like the dryness and hairloss I talked about last week. Just figured it couldn't hurt...

Since my face is not as dry I anticipated it being I have introduced a new cleanser into my regime. I'm sure you have all seen the Apricot Scrubs at the drugstore by St. Ives. Well I have been using the Ultra Gentle for Sensitive Skin. Reading off the back it contains Apricot for Moisturizing, Elderflower for Soothing and Jojoba beads for natural exfoliation (which at first scared me)

I've been using this after I take my make-up off since Cetaphil wasnt getting it all off. I think it really works well and dont see a problem with it since it is not harsh. I probably wouldnt recommend it for dry or irritated skin, but I don't have either and have not had any problems.

Well I have to go play with my nephew - so if I think of anything else to add I'll update later :)

Happy Holidays!
