Just going to quickly list what I plan to get rid of:

• Spots/blemish on one side of my face that isn’t fading
• Some scars
• A few dark spots
• Dark under eye circles
• Blackheads on my nose

That’s quite a bit to work on in one go so I’m focusing mainly on the spots, blemish and blackheads because they’re the most obvious.

Last week I wrote an entry on products and methods I’m trying out to help with the above list: Week 1. I’m just going to give a quick review on how I’m getting on.

Spots/Blemish

I’m using the Tea Tree Oil Facial Wash from The Body Shop  for this and drinking more water. After a week I have noticed a different, it isn’t much though. They’re not as red and big as they were last week. There seems to be less as well.

Dark spots and Scars

These two were not on my list last week. I heard that cucumber juice will help with dark spots with regular use and honey helps to reduce appearance of scars. I have also been reading about home made face mask so I have designed a recipe of each of these two problems. I’m going to try them out for a while then I’ll write a tutorial on it if it’s good.

Dark under eye circles

I’ve placed kiwi slices on my eyes for a few nights and it really did help reduce the dark circles. It hasn’t completely gone away but it has lighten a bit. I’m going to continue with this and hopefully it’ll be even lighter next week.

Blackheads on my nose

Using the Tea Tree Blackhead Exfoliating wash from The Body Shop for this and have started using Seaweed Clarifying Toner from The Body Shop as that claims to refine appearances of pores. I still have blackhead and the amount is about the same, however they’re not as big as before. Seems to be less obvious too.

Conclusion

Overall I think I’m doing good. My skin has not got worse and it is slowly improving. With time I believe I will be able to clear my skin, just need to be patient and not give up like I have done previously. I need to drink more water than because I’m still not drinking enough. We’re meant to drink at least a litre a day but i think I only drink about 400ml which isn’t even half.
