My skin and Accutane.
Alright guys so I had this idea that I would review products that I have used long enough to actually give you my opinion on them .
First I have to tell you about my skin, I have combination oily skin. I get oily in the T-zone during summer or when exposed to hot weather. I have never suffered from acne all my life except recently, I've been breaking out like crazy maybe it's my diet maybe it's my makeup maybe it's from being so close to animals, to be honest I have no idea why!
I saw a dermatologist. DR Harb Al Omari. He's the best in Bahrain he has a clinic in Sanad. He said you have stress acne. Of course the acne I got wasn't noticeable it was more like small bumps that were under the skin, they come and go but being the person I am I thought my life was going to end. Anyways he recommended a treatment session which is to be honest the most stupid thing I've ever experienced in my life. Such a waste of money. I was just sitting in a room with a girl popping my pimples with a needle! I had nothing to be popped but according to him the acne was so deep in my skin that it had to be popped using a needle and an extractor!
Anyways, he put me on Accutane for 1 month and I did my research, Accutane is for severe cases. It's supposed to dry out your face from all the oils and stuff so that you don't breakout. This medication is so strong that he made me sign something saying that I cannot get pregnant during the take of this medication, because if I do get pregnant the baby is going to be really harmed and would probably die!! WHICH PART OF I'M SINGLE DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND!!?
Anyways! He recommended products to me that were nice but really expensive and unnecessary too! Like sunscreens, eye creams, whitening creams, masks, vitamins.
Anyways the first week I saw changes and that’s it. Not much happened after that. Once I finished my 30 pills of Accutane I didn't purchase it again and I didn't go to Dr. Harb again.
Am not saying Accuutane is not good or the doctor is not good. Both are great but it wasn't for me it was for severe cases and all I had was few pumps on my face.
Anyways. I decided to adopt a new life style. I promised myself that I would make sure I drink my 8 glasses of water Every day to flush all the toxins out of my body and I would make sure that I wash my face 3 times a day. And I would scrub every other day to remove the dead skin cells and I would make sure that I remove my makeup completely when I get home and all that good stuff.
That’s all I did and now my skin is better than ever, but of course with the help of few products that I'm going to review soon.
