no change this week. the boil i was growing at the side of my nose went away suddenly to be replaced by its twin about a centimetre away. i dabbed it with toothpaste before bed (a trick that all my friends swear by but had never worked for me ever) and by morning the swelling had gone down and it was less red. i felt indescribably pleased that something simple like that finally worked on me. so i went out that night for the first time since starting the roac. i only had 3 drinks over several hours (and i was all sensible and mature and alternated with soft drinks and even had food) but i felt like i’d drunk a helluva lot more so i’m going back to my original plan of abstinence. i think…
i experimented with not using moisturiser for a couple of days this week to see if that would make a difference to my blackhead ridden face and body after reading on here that some derms advise against moisturising. the only change was that several areas of my face and shoulders are now peeling so i gave that up.
oh, and i found a cheap leave-in conditioner and my hair isn’t like straw anymore so i’m back to being really chuffed about washing it every 4 days!
so that’s it for now. i’m feeling pretty good so far, apart from the blackheads (it’s every pore in my body from the chest up!). hope you are all doing well too.
