Well, I am amazed that I have somehow managed to get through the past 3 weeks without any adverse side effects. I mean, yes my skin is dry, and yes my lips are dry, but the dry skin is only visible when I’m wearing makeup (and even then only a little) and my lips aren’t sore, chapped, or cracked. I was really scared that going up from 20mg to 60mg would cause a massive breakout or horrendous side effects, but nothing of the sort.
I realise that my skin could turn on me any day soon, but at the moment I’m really happy with the progress! I don’t want to tempt fate but I also haven’t had any new spots in about 10 days..i.e since the ‘initial breakout’ which wasn’t actually that bad, which is WHY i didn’t know if it was the big bad breakout or not.
Last Friday I think it was, I went out without my carmex all day - bad idea! By the time I got home my lips had begun to sting a little and felt like they had swollen up! I looked like angelina jolie! (sort of). I plastered it on all the next day and by that evening they’d returned to normal
I went out on sat night and ended up drunk after about 6 drinks (really naughty i know) and i didn’t have the best of nights as i became quite moody for some reason. I’m just going to have to be really really careful once I get back to uni where alcohols concerned.
I also really really love not having to wash my hair hardly at all! This will sound disgusting but last Tuesday I washed my hair and didn’t wash it again until Saturday!!! Because it really didn’t need washing at all! And today is wednesday and I’m just about to do it again. It really is fab only having to wash my hair every five days..it just doesn’t need it.
See ya next week! x
