Pills that Help Fight Acne

Acne is one of the common skin problems among us during adolescent and adult years. There are about several products which claim to heal acne like topical cream that contains benzyl peroxide. But did you know that the most effective way to heal acne is by taking contraceptive pills? FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has approved various types of birth control pills that can be prescribed to fight acne.

Yaz, Estrotep and Ortho Try-Cyclen are the three types of birth control approved by FDA. These are made up of  mostly estrogen and progestin and work to lower the levels of androgen in the body which result later to decrease amount of sebum or oil that is known to be the source of acne breakouts.

Pills are taken for 21 consecutive days followed by two days of placebo pills which trigger monthly period or menstruation. It should be taken at the same time everyday. If forgotten however, you must take two pills on the following day at the same time.

Other benefits of taking birth control pills are it fight signs of aging and  improve elasticity in the skin thus making the skin resistant to wrinkles. But common side effects of taking pills are weight gain, breast tenderness,  breakthrough bleeding, nausea and moodiness. And some serious but rare effects are migraine, headaches, blood clots, depression, hypertension and stroke.

Project 366 | Week 4

No classes. So another mundane day. Well, what a great day to make faces in front of the camera. See?

I always bring my cross stitch stuffs at school, so I can finished at least some while waiting for my daughter.That's 3 hours of work and then I will resume it at home when I'm already free from household chores.

It has been a long time I took a photo of us together. Zits are popping out, its unbearable to see :( 

* Thurs* Its their school's foundation day. They wore their P.E uniform. Went to church for thanksgiving then celebrated family  day after. It was all fun!

After their science fair at school, my in-laws fetched my daughter to attend a wedding. I didn't go, I still have parent duties at school in the afternoon. Glad MIL took photos of my kiddo. She enjoyed swimming with her cousins.

The wedding day! Too bad she wasn't one of the flower girls. They forgot to include her. They let her wear the gown after the ceremony so to get a feel how was it like to be a flower girl. And, she enjoyed it!

The following day they went to Baguio City with the whole clan. Family bonding it was!

 For the closing photo;

a beautiful sunset which I took last month.

Another week passed,
 how was your week?

                            

My Semi-Chaotic World

Or mind perhaps.

It has been a busy week for us in the school. The school held its 9th Foundation Day last Thursday and we also celebrated family day after we went to the church for thanksgiving. We ate there during lunch and played several games too. It was fun!

Then yesterday was their Science fair where kids enjoyed games again and some other stuffs. The raffle draw was held in the afternoon. Oh, boy! Don't have any luck at all. I bought all the tickets but it wasn't my day!

Anyway, I feel sleepy the entire day. I took a nap after I ate lunch and woke up after an hour of sleep. I fell asleep while waiting hubby's message. Then I did some cross stitching with my new pattern.

Tot was not here. I'm missing her. There's no one that keeps me busy the whole day.

That's why maybe I feel uninspired or lacking motivation but I cleaned our room a little to be a tad productive this day.

But still....

There's a lot going on in my mind. Too much to even write it here.

Geeezzz...
