During the GCSE period this year, I got referred again to a dermotologist as the Tetralysal was having no effect.
Pretty much as soon as I finished my last exam though, my skin seemed to improve by quite a lot.
I don’t really know what the science is behind the link between stress and acne (I have asked a dermatologist, and she said there wasn’t much evidence for it…) but there definitely was a difference once my days stopped being full of revision and/or exams.
So, I stopped taking any medication, and started using some of The Body Shop’s Tea Tree range (which I really liked and will post about soon), while waiting for my hospital appointment and enjoying my longest summer yet!
