Going off the contraceptive pill after taking roaccutane in the past?

caitlodonn
Hi, I’m 21 years old and currently on the Yasmin contraceptive pill and have been taking it continuously since I was 18 but am considering not taking it anymore as I have no need for it. I took roaccutane for about a year and a half, starting when I was 16 and since then my skin has been clear (I never had bad Cystic acne but I just never had clear skin) - how will this affect my skin if I go off the pill? My skin was fine before taking the pill and ive had barely any breakouts during.
