Not sure if it's intentional or not, but there's quite a bad green colour cast on the second image (look at the white of your eyes and your teeth). The original is actually much better.

The second one has a cross-processing feel to it which I like a lot. The first one is a plain ol' selfie.. the second one, is more. Yeah, whites aren't white, but who says they have to be?

The tighter crop makes the image more personal so I like the 2nd best but the colour cast is not for me I'm afraid.

Thanks for sharing Bryan

I like the second better as well.. the green really brings out the almost tigerseye tone in your eyes... brings the image much more to life IMO... well done

Hm, I'm sort of in a love/hate relationship with the second photo. I love the close crop but the color cast isn't for me.

Either way I think it would be good, though.

I'm a big fan for the cross process colours and as Fuzzy said, this has that feel. I like the new version, both the crop and the colouring.

Acne removal? Really? I see nothing that needs removing in the before.
