I Guess Acne Does Get Worse Before It Gets Better!

I'm kind of disappointed.
Hey again, everyone! :)

I'm so excited to be posting once again, and I just wanted to give you a slight update. I'm still breaking out in cystic acne due to following the Acne Soldier system. This was never really a problem before, but I did get on Taylor's booty the other day, when I wrote my blog post.*
"I'm hoping to really see better results, because I absolutely can't stand it! Taylor, if you ever read this, I'm kind of upset at you! Any advice would be extremely helpful."
I'm really not sure if Taylor read my mind, or just read my blog post, but I saw that on the very same day, he talked about how your acne is actually going to get worse before it gets better.
If you followed my journey, you will notice that once I started following my system, I actually began to breakout! Unfortunately, this is completely normal.
Taylor's post goes on to say that there is really nothing you can do about this, and that it's all part of the norm when it comes to benzoyl peroxide users.

Obviously, this was upsetting to me!

I just want to get clear!

Letting calmer minds prevail me, I decided to do some research and found that new breakouts are actually common while using benzoyl peroxide, and while following programs like the Regimen, by acne.org.

Okay, I know this is not what you wanted to hear! Trust me, I absolutely hate the idea of my skin breaking out even more before it gets better.

The great news is, if what I'm reading around the web is true, it's only a matter of time before the cystic acne starts to go away, and before clear, beautiful skin shines! :)

I have my fingers crossed. :P

Week #1 - Following Acne Soldier - My Acne is Getting Worse!

Taylor from AcneSoldier.com
Hey everybody,

First off, I would love to say that I'm so excited to have you here reading my blog. I'm actually new to this, and don't know much about blogging, so if you think of anything else you would like me to add to what I'm already writing, please say something.

I guess I should start off by telling you that my name is Kendra Smith! I love to do outdoor things, hangout with my friends, and really, I'm here to have a great time. I would say that my confidence level is above average, but I really feel like it could be a lot better if I had clear skin.

I've tried so many different things to get rid of my acne; from blue light therapy, to going to the dermatologist and getting a prescription (Accutane) which I wasn't a huge fan of, all the way to those acne pads and in-store treatments. Nothing has really worked for me.

Like you probably do, I'm absolutely obsessed with finding a solution to this problem of mine! I've read sites like Acne.org, as well as David the Skin King, who both provide great information on how to get clear! Unfortunately, I'm still stuck!

I guess I'm just looking for the best, step-by-step solution.

I recently started reading a blog written by Taylor Thompson and I'm actually going to try to share one of his videos in this blog! :) But he has a program called the Acne Soldier program, and he's giving it away for free! He insists that it will get anyone clear skin.



I'm a week into the program though, and to be totally honest, I'm a little disappointed with my results. My acne is actually getting worse than it did before. I'm breaking out in cystic acne, and I'm really considering giving up on Taylor's program.

I'm hoping to really see better results, because I absolutely can't stand it! Taylor, if you ever read this, I'm kind of upset at you! Any advice would be extremely helpful.

XOXO - Kendra
