Aaaw man, my post disappeared. I had posted a long response and it went away.

How long have you been using the Obagi clarifying serum? My dermatologist told me that everyone reacts differently to this particular system. She said some people will have light peeling and others will have none. In the beginning I had mild peeling and then it stopped. Only apply the serum to your spots. Wash your face, apply the serum, let it absorb, and then apply your moisturizer. If you’ll be going out during the day time, make sure to apply sunscreen. Give it a few weeks to fade out the spots. Your acne marks are actually composed of several skin layers…so they’re pretty deep and it will take some time to fade them out.

I’ve noticed that you’ve been eating yogurt. Has that helped in reducing your break outs? Yogurt and cranberry juice helped prevent my breakouts considerably. And sweet potatoes are considered the most nutritious vegetable because they have exactly the nutrients your skin and hair depend upon (vitmain A, C, E, B, zinc, iron, potassium, fiber). And they provide energy for working out/weight lifting. And I just read on a website that sweet potatoes are a celebrity secret for healthy hair. But check this link below.

Aisha,

My serum came a week ago and have been using it everyday for a week now…so far Ive noticed some peeling and dry skin so I need some serious moisturizing. I went and got some Aveeno…its heavy but not cakey. I just want to make sure it was normal, thats all. Hopefully, it will help take away my scars…my face also feels tighter when I use it. Yours? I do use a high SPF when I leave the house…SPF 40 because Ive got sensitive skin. That and Im drinking a lot more water…

Im going to look into sweet potatoes…dnt know if I will like them but I will try to. Ive had sweet potato fries before with salt and pepper and they were pretty good. How do you make your sweet potato? Do you bake it? Or fry it? LOL.

I have been eating yogurt, yes and so far (knock on wood) my breakouts have been under control! That was a GREAT tip and seems to be working not only on that front but it also helps me eat lesser during the day if I have some yogurt before my meal. Kwim? Yeah, I like it a lot. Thank you for the suggestion Aisha it helped a ton!

Reha, have you heard from Mina? When is her wedding to take place? It’s been a while and I hope she’s doing okay.

I know she is getting married this weekend…Inshallah everything will go well. Im not sure if its this Saturday or Sunday but its this weekend for sure. She is probably nervous and I dont blame her. But knowing her, she will pull everything off divinely. I have a feeling it will go well!!! Im just dying to see her pictures!!! I cant waaaaaaaaaaaiit! LOL.

Aisha you will LOVE Sense and Sensibility. Its got the same problem though…might take a few pages to get into but you WILL like it. I saw Persuasion somewhere in my house too…might pick that one up. I havent it. Let me know how you like it?
