Great to see this version. The gaze has lost that slighty glassy look and you seem to softened the mouth and the neck so it's all gelling more harmoniously.
I'll third Alex's comments - if I may do such a thing! I think it's time to say very well done on this and onwards and upwards to the next.
I'm really impressed that this is only your second self portrait attempt by the way... I have many, many unfinished self portraits (thankfully for others they will stay turned to the wall;-) so I do sympathise with IIaria here but for all their pains I dare say there is litle that compares as a marker of your improvements.
You have inspired me! I must start another soon!!!
