So I'm back from holiday BOOOOOO! but on the plus side I'm experiencing post-holiday skin which means I'm feeling pretty good...when I was on holiday I got 2 painful ones with a pore which is usually how my skin purges in the sun, but luckily when I picked them (in the least damaging way) they went down without a scab woo! I also picked 2 minor blackheads on my chin that kind of dried up and didn't scab then 2 small whiteheads on my forehead that left a tiny dot of blood...It may sound like I failed at not picking but to me this is success - I didn't pick-binge and even when I picked the 2 blackheads unnecessarily I didn't mess with them anymore afterwards.
Now I'm going to try the vitamin d experiment to see if my skin stays clear - usually after a day or two the texture of my skin goes back to normal (lots of closed comedones and a bumpy texture) so I'm going to take my first vitamin d3 tablet tonight and see how it goes. Maybe tricking my skin into thinking I'm still on holiday will work! Although we are expecting some sunny weather at the weekend so I won't dose up if I'm in the sun all day anyway.
On a completely non-acne related topic I have a bad rash![:(]()
all along the underside of my forearms (not sure what the right name for that area is!) I have soooooooo many pinkish bumps that are quite itchy, in my mum's words 'it looks like you have the lurgies', plus I have it to a lesser extent on my tummy and knees, bad times. I'm 99% sure it's heat rash because I've had it in the same place before when I've been on holiday and it should go down after a few days. It made me realise though, how I tend to get a lot less worried/ bothered about skin problems other than acne - my mum was quite worried about it but I was like this is nothing, I'll take it!
It's amazing how much emphasis I put on my skin when it comes to acne yet I barely even notice any other skin problems!
