Today I think (and hope) Accutane is to thank for my initial breakout finally cooling off.
My acne flare-ups are so predictable when I'm not on Accutane.
Even if I'm on antibiotics.
Here's a little glimpse into the last 3 years of my life fighting acne.
Let's pretend it's Sunday. Sunday I have 'perfect' skin.
No big pimples, none of the Horizon. Life is good.
And by Sunday night I've even convinced myself to put a little moisturizer on.
"Go ahead, self! Give it a try! Your skin looks so good, it definitely won't break out because of this".
I've also convinced myself it's okay to
A. take a sip of caffeine
and
B. maybe even a sip of alcohol before the night is through.
Those are all things I've previously convinced myself initiate a breakout.
By Tuesday it's breakout city.
Was it the alcohol, the caffeine, the bad karma for even thinking that I had a moment to relax?
I'm a believer in karma. I also think if you say something out loud you could jinx it.
By typing these words right now I may very well end up with a breakout, and I have a photo shoot tomorrow.
Oh, yes. Another opportunity to put my pimple prone mug out there for the world to see.
Hope they airbrush. That's very Hollywood of me.
