My Acne Routines and How I Care For Them / Tips

My Week 1 Accutane Diary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6-cDDlKr94&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

Hello! I want to talk about my acne routine for those who might be curious as to what I also do in addition to taking Accutane. I apologize for my repetitions and awkward wordings :) I was trying to make this a fast video but clearly I failed.

Eat regularly! Don't stress over sugar. It's good to be aware with your diet but your consumption only deals a small factor of acne breakouts. Drink a lot of water too!

Sleep! It is good to get at least 8 hours of sleep. Staying up too late is bad for your acne and plus its unhealthy :) Your body needs rest! I also find myself touching my cheeks a lot (like my left elbow on my table while my left cheek rests on my hand). That will also get your skin dirty and oily.

Moisturize! Use a light cleanser to wash in the morning and night. I also use a pad that has texture to remove any dead skin. After that apply a facial lotion or moisturizer. Don't put any topicals on your face.

Hygiene! Your hair contributes to your acne believe it or not. I find that the Herbal Essence Hydralicious keeps my hair smooth (not greasy) for a really long time.

Take care of your lips! I am going to try the Aquaphor bottle for my lips. I am currently using the Blistex Medicated Lip Balm. Try to breathe through your nose because opening your mouth drys the lips faster. Don't pick at the dry skin on the lips as that will take longer to heal. When you brush your teeth you can use your toothbrush and brush your lips to take out any dry skin.

I'm special and complain about my eyes! Dry eyes is an effect from taking Accutane. My eye doctor told me that it maybe also the protein build up in my contacts. But I put on eye drops whenever I feel like it's bothering me which is about two times a day.
