[Doxycycline+ Tretinoin Progress] Day 12: 2nd day of Tretinoin! Putting it straight on my face!!

Overall, there are no significant bumps on my face , thanks to the Doxycycline; however, there is  one that somehow popped up on my chin, man! This one is a pretty painful one!

I went to the gym tonight barefaced, I was a lot less self-conscious about how I looked, I stopped staring at my face while I was in Pilates, I was paying more attention to the mirror to check if my back was straight and focusing on the pain of holding my side plank.

After showering, I waited for 40mins to put on Tretinoin, I was adventurous enough to put it straight on my face without mixing it with my CeraVe moisturizing cream, the picture below is how much I put on my face (AKA my interpretation of what a pea size looks like). While putting it on my face, I avoided my eyes, the corners of my nose, my noes bridge, and around my lips. Right after I put on Tretinoin, I washed my hands and pumped one pump of CeraVe moisturizing cream and spread that on my face immediately. I also used Tarte’s  maracuja C-brighter™ eye treatment on my eyes and Aquaphor healing ointment on my lips and around my mouth to make sure that my Blepharitis won’t act up and my lips and the corner of my mouth won’t crack.

I’ve stopped drinking milk and trying to cut coffee out, so I will be drinking a lot of tea instead.

I will report back on how my face feels after putting Tretinoin straight on! Night ya'll!
