I'm on a relatively low dose; 20mg 2 times per day.
During the past couple of days I've really felt like my skin is changing.
I can't describe what it is exactly, it just feels easier to manage. Also when I touch it it feels a bit numb. Not in a bad way. Just numb.
Before I was on accutane if i touched it I basically felt the transfer of oils(in my head), and I swear to god I could feel a pimple sprout right then and there.
Now it's not a battlefield at the surface of my skin, it's just peaceful.
I don't think about it every second. I don't worry about covering up blemishes constantly.
Though I still have a couple that are healing up nicely.
This morning my husband commented on how different my skin is starting to look.
A lot of the redness is fading, and it's just not as ripe anymore.
Today I even indulged a little, and stopped at a MAC counter at the mall. This is huge.
I had to smile for the camera Thursday. We had a photo shoot for work. Fun, flirty, energetic!
I had three little pimples on one side of my face. Thanks be to airbrushing.
I know how it feels to be on camera for 1 minute with a pussy pop-up pimple.
Now after my photo op I'm imagining a model or actor having to be their best on camera with a huge zit.
Still photography, that's easy! Just airbrush it out.
I actually look for skin flaws when I'm at the movies. And if you're really vigillant (and obviously sick because you can't think of anything better to do with your time) you'll spot a blemish. But it's rare. Then it's gone in the next scene.
Do they send you home ? A stay at home zit day? And if so, I need in on that!
