| 1/21/05 These are my "Before" Pictures. I have indented scars, melasma over lips and under eyes from bcp, spots of discoloration from previous breakouts, bumps, etc. Also some lines under my eyes (they are only when I smile though). I also have a slight lack of firmness. (The weird neck creases are just from how I had to move my arms to take the picture at armlength)  I am using a "gentle" regimen at the moment of diluted Super CP Serum and Exfol Cream. UPDATED 5/25/08 I didn't seem to be making any progress with my routine and had become apathetic and neglectful of my skin for almost the last 3 years. By the end of 2007, I had decided if I was going to try to improve my skin, I had better stop fooling around and get with it. Around the beginning of this year, 2008, I added Retin-A .05% and that seemed to improve the overall look of my skin. I began to notice improvement within just a few weeks. I think the reason the CP's weren't helping all this time was because they couldn't get through the scar tissue to *do* anything. Even peels didn't seem to help. When I tried needling, I was doing it wrong and actually causing *more* damage. I added a 1.5 roller to my routine on 5/8/08. (I may call it the dermaroller, but it's not actually that brand). I have used it a few times. I intend to post updated photos in the coming weeks, so you can see if there has been improvement. Here is my routine as of 8/05/08: SKIN CARE: A.M. Facial brush on dry skin. Splash with water. TTT dab of Super Cop mixed with Day Cover. Day Cover only around eyes. P.M. Gentle Clean If needed, I exfoliate with a facial brush. On Friday nights (1x week), derma roller. LacSal after 30 min. Super Cop 2x mixed with Retin-A after 1 hr. Pat on emu. SUPPLEMENTS: A.M. MSM 1,000 mg Vit. C 500 mg - 1,000 mg. Copper 1.75 mg Multi (NSI Synergy Once Daily, also has 100 mg. Alpha Lipoic Acid, 120 mg. 500 mcg Copper, 100 mg. CoQ10, 100 mg. Green Tea) 120 mg. Ginkgo Biloba P.M. MSM 1-2,000 mg. Vit. C 500 - 1,000 mg Copper 1.75 mg I take fish oil after a meal when I remember it. DIETARY NOTES: -I use olive oil, coconut oil and butter in cooking and on food. -Quality protein daily: beef, chicken, fish, eggs, pork, etc. -Low in sugar & refined carbs. -I drink lots of ice water and iced tea sweetened with stevia. I like hot tea, and a cup of coffee. -Almost daily drink of alcohol such as a beer or wine with meal. -I try to eat some kind of vegetable daily and usually some kind of fruit. Some days I get in tons of veggies, and others I am lucky to get some iceberg lettuce. But it's usually somewhere in between. -I try to avoid hydrogenated oils. -Low dairy. -Low processed foods. -Exercise a few x week, such as walking, swimming and weight training.This message has been edited.
