Well I had my first monthly appointment with my derm today. I say ‘my’ derm, well what I really mean is withj the third different derm i’ve seen since I’ve been prescribed this stuff. I don’t see what the point is in seeing a different derm every time I go, how are they even going to know if I’ve made any improvement or not? 
So that annoyed me slightly. I’ve had one of those days tbh - had my induction at my new job this morning which went well. When I looked in the mirror in the morning I noticed I had really peely skin on my chin but I exfoliated and didn’t think much of it. When I came out of the induction 4 hours later I had bloody skin practially hanging off my face! God knows how long it had been like that for…great first impression!!!
I’ve really been feeling the dryness this week, for the first time really. I’ve always got terribly dry lips when I wake up in the morning, it feels like the water has just been sucked right out of them! And of course the dry skin which peeled for the first time today (and looked so obvious as I had makeup on).
Got a bt miffed as well as the derm told me I was likely to be on the roac for 24 weeks not the 16 weeks that the previous derm told me!!! So upset, I wanted to be able to relax and get merry over Xmas. It looks like I’m going to be taking these through into the start of Feb 09!!!! How depressing.
Have swtiched now to simple face wash and i’m now also using st ives apricot scrub in the morning as it buffs off any dry dead or peeling skin and it therefore doesn’t show under makeup 
Until next week……..blah
