I've found the cure...

Finally after trying just about EVERYTHING under the sun.. I found the cure to my acne. I've been going to the dermatologist for the past few months getting the light treatments for the acne that I can't seem to get rid of around my chin area. The treatments seemed to help for the first few days after, then back came the acne. My doctor wanted me to also use a topical cream/gel along with the treatments. I've tried just about every topical like Atralin, Retin-A, etc. None helped me skin clear up. About a month ago my doctor gave me a new cream to try called ACZONE. This is the most amazing acne cream I've ever used in my life! It said to give it up to 12 weeks to see results, but mt acne is already gone! I couldn't believe after all the time, money, embarrassing acne.. I've finally got something that works! I put it on two times a day, morning (underneath my moisturizer & make up) and the night before I go to bed! I recommend this to anyone who has the same problem as me. Its amazing. I actually don't feel ashamed to be seen with out foundation. I don't need to cake on concealer anymore! A girl told me 2 weeks ago how great my skin looked and how much I was glowing. BEST. STUFF. EVER!!

The new trend: Healthy, duh.

I've come to realize, as much as I want to drop a measly 10-12 pounds, I can work out All day, Everyday... but it really comes down to what I'm eating. blower. I LOVE junk food, and everything your NOT supposed to eat. What I have been doing good with is taking a multi-vitamin everyday because I haven't gotten sick yet *knock on wood* no big deal though. I needed just an all around new routine for health & beauty. My SKIN is my main concern 24/7. I've tried EVERYTHING. In a previous post I blogged about the Neutrogena 3-step ance system, it's doing good with getting rid of the acne, but I'm still having issues. meh! I just want my skin to be flawless & even-toned to the point where I won't have to wear a shit ton of foundation (I'm using the Neutrogena skin clearing liquid foundation right now, not to shabby) but maybe get away with a tinted moisturizer.

I went on a complete crazy, organic, healthy shopping spree this morning after the gym. Here are a few items I picked up:



- 50/50 salad mix with baby spinach & spring mix
- all natural raspberry vinaigrette dressing
- strawberries (to add in my salad, of course with other veggies & almonds)
- Milk Chocolate SlimFast.





- DETOX Cleansing & Revitalizing tea - Chinese herb of Healthy Skin! (yay!)
- Agave Nectar (sweetener for the tea, like honey but better for you)
- Women's One-A-Day w/ Healthy Skin support
- Palmer's Night Renewal Cream (anti-aging w/ vitamins & Retinol aka Vitamin A which helps stimulate cell regeneration and build collagen to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and minimize the appearance of pore size.)


now off to finish drinking my tea & a hot shower before work!
