My eyes are my...Thanks for the compliment Kristina! My eyes are my favorite feature. Haha I'm still cringing when I see this post. But I'm hoping it might help others who may be considering accutane. <br />As for your dry skin, I've found the following three things to greatly help: using an exfoliant face scrub, I really like Proactive's scrub. For stubborn flaky skin get an exfoliant brush even a small soft tooth brush is handy for small areas. But my favorite thing to use and is by far the best is my microdermabrasion machine! It's adjustable for anyone's skin and WILL remove all dead skin/flakes. It leaves your skin smooth and makeup applies like a dream. Plus you only need to use it once every week or two. I'd suggest moisturizers but I float a lot on what I like.

And you are so brave to post these; back when I had mild acne, I never wanted to post bare skin pictures! I really hope Accutane works for you; skin has always been one of my biggest confidence things, and if my skin is misbehaving, I feel so self conscious of everything! I've never really dealt with acne like you have; I used to have regular breakouts but they were more topical and never cyst-like, just annoying. Mostly now I deal with super dry, flaky skin. I have days where my forehead and cheeks flake like nobody's business, and nothing helps. It's so frustrating to deal with badly behaving skin issues! <br /><br />I can't imagine dealing with it for that many years, though! One of my best friends has dealt with acne like this her entire life, and she's been using Proactive for a long time now; it sort of helps, but it hasn't completely cleared her skin up, either. So I really hope this works for you, especially since it's so problematic and expensive! And I'm crossing my fingers that you find some way for it to be cheaper on the months when it's not discounted. <br /><br />And I have to say, the first thing I noticed in these pictures was your EYES. Oh my goodness. Your eye color is just amazing! <br />xoxo<br />Kristina<br /><a href="http://www.eccentricowl.com" rel="nofollow">www.eccentricowl.com</a>The Eyre Effecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058213767467159949noreply@blogger.com
