Yay! 5 months already and and I have zero pimples! :P

All I have to work on are my remaining pimple marks. It’s a good thing that I discovered Everyday Minerals’ mineral makeup! I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and it really does a good job of covering up my blemishes for the time being.

However, no amount of GREAT cosmetics can substitute for GOOD skincare right?

My Face Skin History

Thanks to my derma, Dr. Arcigal, all of my pimples are gone! I think I had 5 monthly facials (with peeling sessions – free!), 5 separate peeling sessions (free!), 3 months of using Diane-35 pills (was as bloated as hell!), and 5 months of religiously putting on topical medicines. On my last visit to her, she even told me that I don’t need to do monthly facials since all I have are occasional blackheads that can be removed every two or three months. Hurrah!

What remains on my face are hyperpigmentation due to scars. To this, I alternate putting Post-Acne-Cream (the components I don’t know – free!) and Neostrata’s HQ Lightening Gel (way expensive!). I still have my normal topical medicines that include Tretinoin Cream 0.05% (reduces wrinkles), Salicylic Acid 2% (prevents pores from clogging up) and Erythromycin Solution (fights bacteria).

Yay! I’m so happy.

Today is the fourth session of my scrub and massage at the gym. Had the cherry berries scrub and lotion with my favorite therapist Rizza. She also gave me the packages that I can avail… sounds reasonable so I just might get the 6+4 body wrap that can be exchanged for other services…

Maybe having flawless skin out of this experience is just an added benefit because I really go there to have my stressed muscles kinked out.
