To answer a question from the previous thread about the alochol content in Witch Hazel,

That's fine. I use T.D. Dickinson, which seems to be the brand most people get. It's 14% alcohol, and my skin is fine. If anything, Thayers could be used if you have more sensitive skin.

Anyone have a Clairsonic? If so, is it worth the price?

I've had my Olay Pro X cleanser for about 4 years now and it's starting to die on me (head isn't spinning even with brand new batteries). I've been using it as a stationary brush but after just a few days I've noticed a less deep clean. I've finally realized that quality exceeds quantity, so I'm okay with the big ticket price of a Clairsonic but if it isn't any better than the $30 Olay cleanser I'd much rather just buy another Olay instead.

I've thought about trying one but I like the machinery in the Clairsonic. I also worry the sponge would be too abrasive on my skin. Sorry your roommate broke yours! I hope you find a way to get another one.

I think it's the chemicals. Eastern makeup doesn't have to follow the FDA laws so they can probably get away with potentially hazardous ingredients. Eastern makeup also has kawaii packaging.

I feel like it's the approach to skincare that's the biggest difference. Western skincare focuses solely on oil if you're young and only anti aging when you already have wrinkles, where Eastern skincare is more on total care and moisture. It isn't odd for an Eastern product marketed towards teenagers that also touts anti aging ingredients. Another thing (that I read in Forbes so who knows how accurate) is that Eastern skincare is more daring and can get away with using ingredients considered weird or gross here. Milky dress sells an anti trouble body spray with silkworm castings (shit) that would never fly in the US, snail mucus wouldn't have caught on here if it hadn't been en vogue in Asia first.

If rosehip oil anon is around, what quantity did you buy yours in? Is the 4oz bottle too much? It seems like most retailers offer it in 1oz or 4oz; I'd be afraid of the oil going bad before I finished it.

Also, how do you apply it? I've never used a pure oil around my eyes, do you pour it onto a cotton pad and kind of ...dab? Can you wear it at night?

Sorry for all the questions, but thank you for the recommendation! I think rosehip oil will be the next thing I try for undereye fine lines after I finish my Like20. (I went and looked up a few reviews online, but a lot of them seem to be from older women in their 50s/60s - I'd like to try rosehip as a preventative thing in my 20s)

Diff rosehip oil user here. I usually apply it at night before bed to a clean face. I just pop a few drops into the palm of my hand, warm the oil by rubbing my palms together then gently smooth it onto my face. You really only need a few drops. If your face feels greasy you are applying too much.

I think a cotton pad would be wasteful and unnecessary. I generally don't apply any directly onto the under eye area as I find as the oil warms up it will cover that area anyway. Sometimes you can apply too much under the eye and as it warms it can get into the eye.

Go the smaller bottle at first to see if you like it. If you are trying to do the preventative thing do a moisturiser + sunscreen for the day and rosehip oil at night. Don't forget your neck, décolletage and backs of your hands when applying.

Hey that's me!
I got mine in an amber glass bottle with a glass eye dropper thing. (Sukin, if brand matters. I just chose the cold pressed variety but use the best your local suppliers can offer). I reckon 1-2 oz is more than enough just for face care, though its hella moisturising on the hands too so I might go 4 oz next.
I believe as long as you get it in an Amber bottle/keep it out of direct sunlight/heat you'll be fine. I've had a couple oils go nasty on me when I did otherwise, and be outlived by ones I forgot in my medicine cabinet.

I do recommend getting an eye dropper to apply though, even if you have to transfer from a bigger bottle to a smaller one. Cleanest and tidiest way to apply the stuff. I have another oil in a pump bottle and get that shit everywhere each use.

I put a drop on my index, and rub if first around the lower lid, then on the upper lids. Otherwise if I do it the other way I get too much oil on the top lid and it makes my eyes blurry for ages.
I also apply it to my nasolabial folds. I only been getting into it for a month or so now? So no telling too much now, but the natural retinol in it apparently is the most derma-absorable form of it. And i feel moisturised, and not too greasy and I'm naturally oily skinned.

Oh my god, thank you so much for the in-depth application tips. I feel like such a newbie when I'm asking for directions on how to do specific things since they seem like so basic and fundamental.

Thanks to >>8155812 for chiming in, too! I've only used tea tree oil, which is pretty runny and easier to apply with a cotton pad, so it's cool to know that rosehip is something I'll be able to wipe on with a finger!

No worries! I wish it didn't have to be too daunting to ask, I didn't think they were dumb questions. I mean hey, I wish someone would have told me earlier about the usefulness of eye droppers for oil application back when I originally just had the one in the pump bottle... I saw one of the hippie Health stores in my area selling these for $1.50 each so I'm gonna pick some up next time for my jojoba.

I feel that the rosehip oil gets wasted if it goes on the pad, and I don't put it all over my face either so I still don't have a reason to use it. All you gotta do is clean your hands nice and well, or make sure after doing a face wash you don't touch any door knobs or anything before you do the oil step. And I think that's the gist of it.

The Diff Rosehip Anon here,

Just at a guess I think I may be significantly older than both of you! I use it all over my face as I find as I got older my skin would react to the fragrance and various additives in other products. Rosehip oil doesn't give me a reaction and it's nice and gentle. Just make sure your hands are clean and dry before trying to pop it on your face.

My bottles all come with eye droppers! I need to find an outlet in my country that sells these magical pump packs. Anyways, glad I could help out.

u wot
anyway, skin whitening isn't illegal in and of itself, hydroquinone is though (it's carcinogenic and ages you). If you want super pale glowy skin, do as us perfidious pasty Islanders do and stay out of the sun, apply sunscreen frequently and take vitamin C (and D, since you're a child of the dark now) supplements.

I don't apply sunscreen while inside but I've read about some Asian girls who do, imo it's taking it a bit too far but if you REALLY wanna be Snow White... Be prepared to get taken the piss out of.

Also, depending on your skin tone you may end up being less of a glowy pale princess and more of a jaundiced skeleton king.

Anybody have any luck with getting rid of under skin acne? It's the only type of zit I really get and it seems like there's always at least one on my face and multiple on my back. I drink a lot of water, am on birth control, and don't wear makeup on my skin unless it is for cosplay. I use Olay Sensitive skin moisturizers (am and pm) and use the oil cleansing method to clean my skin... Hasn't changed much in terms of how much I break out, but it is definitely less irritating. I can't use a lot skin products because my skin is more sensitive than a superwholock on Tumblr. For reference, I've had to go to urgent care because of how my skin has reacted to neutrogena sunscreen. That's how bad it is. I'm thinking of asking my derm about spiro when I go next... Anyone have any success with that?

go see what they've in stock at your local Boots. You'll need a cleanser (gentle is best) and moisturiser as bare essentials. Other things that may come in handy are sunscreen, AHA or BHA chemical peels (Bravura London makes some), facial masks etc. Those you can use periodically or however your skin likes it best, but daily sunscreen use is recommended. Later on, when you've got all the essentials you can buy any potions and elixirs and whatnot that you like to treat particular issues.
Unfortunately you'll have to see for yourself what works and what doesn't, but please try out one product at a time to see if it suits your skin rather than piling on multiple things at once.

EU brands are fair reliable but you can always try Asian skincare if you like, it's usually cheaper. I'd recommend getting the basics locally though, so you can always stock up on them.

As for recommendations, I've had good results with Eucerin and SebaMed for cleansers. Plenty of people here seem to like The Body Shop as well, but I've not tried them. French sunscreens are okay but you may want to sell your soul to our Asian overlords when it comes to that because they're a lot less greasy. They're smaller though, and get used up quickly.

Cheers!

I bought a whitener with hydroquinone. I think it caused blisters on my hands.Hands are super sensitive. A baking soda/lemon treatment at night might be better for skin. Glowy skin is caused by face mist,It sets in makeup too. The most effect way of staying light is keeping out of the skin and having a whitening soap.

I use hydrquinone it works wonderfully, you wont go from midnight to ivory but it will shift you a few shades lighter if you use it consistently. I usually do 2 months on 2 months off because it thins your skin slightly, I also use mine along with retinol so that makes it harsher. Make sure you are buying a genuine product and at a no more than 2% concentration. Pretty much any complication that has been reported is because people use high dosages without a doctors supervision. It does cause cancer if injected into the internal organs of rats if that's a worry for you.
Most asian brands won't contain HQ they prefer arbutin. Which has a high sensitivity rate but it does show whitening, if not as effective as HQ overall.

Skin whitening (or more commonly, 'brightening') products aren't illegal in Europe. Products containing hydroquinone are, because that's considered a harmful ingredient.
I've used pic related for a while, and it should be available in various EU countries. It's not a hardcore whitening cream but it moisturizes nicely and has some decent ingredients for the price so I used it as a night cream for a while. My paleness is mostly due to genetics and sun avoidance, though. Also exfoliation.

Sunscreen-while-inside is useful to counter UVA which, unlike UVB, doesn't give a fuck about windows or clouds. If you sit inside next to a window all day every day the side of you that faces the window will age faster than the side that faces away from it.

>>8157845
Tbh I wouldn't recommend putting baking soda or lemon juice on your skin. Baking soda is too alkaline and lemon juice is wayyy too acidic, so either one will end up fucking with your skin's natural pH and making it more prone to dryness and irritation.
Also you're right that the glowiness of Korean celebrities is in a large part caused by moisturizing and luminizing products. It's definitely not realistic to compare your own bare skin to what you see in your Kdramas.

Yeah biotin, though it can help with hair and mild acne, can be known to make it worse. I actually was on minocycline too but it didn't do shit. Talk to your derm about other antibiotics or treatments. Last time I went in about the minocycline that the best route for me to go would be accutane.

But before all of that, I had tried supplements as well. Do some research on supplements for cystic acne, because sometimes the problem is you're lacking something. Things to look for are:
>Vitamin A
>Vitamin E
>Vitamin D
>Zinc
>Omega fatty acids

Certain vitamins and supplements balance one another out and absorb better in the presence of others. If supplements don't work, that's when you start looking into more serious treatments like accutane. For me, it was a last resort because I had already tried everything else, and nothing worked. If birthcontrol is not working for you, then the problem isn't hormonal. But definitely look into supplements, give it a try, and if nothing happens after a month or so, speak with your derm. There's only so much help you can get from playing a guessing game.

Supposedly alcohol ages you faster in skincare, irritates, and over dries your skin.
Personally, I love the way Thayer's makes my skin feel, fresh but not dry. It makes my moisturizer (gel cream) sink in better and gives my skin a velvety feeling. I'm also sensitive to certain scents and textures and can't do alcohol in my routine, sadly no Benton snail stuff either because it smells dirty.

I highly recommend the red appletox honey cream, its amazingly hydrating without getting greasy. (Despite it's name, its actually a gel!)

Look for things marked anti-trouble or trouble-anything because that's what acne is referred to as. Innisfree makes a wonderful trouble care sheet mask. You can also buy a lighter gel moisturiser (like mizon snail recovery gel) and put that on your face, then layer a cream on the dry spots.

I'm actually on the market for a heavier cream to add to dry spots. My skin still flakes after I've had a pimple, on my nose, and the corners of my mouth. I only get hormonal cysts on occasion anymore, so it isn't oil

Yeah, there's so many things that can factor into getting cystic acne, and half of the time it's not really your fault. I like to call it "losing the genetic lottery." Unless you get tested for hormones and a birth control pill fixes it, you're stuck playing a guessing game. It could be anything causing it from your diet to your immune system. For more info on taking supplements to help with cystic acne, google "vitamin cocktail for acne." I think the term for taking supplements for acne is called "holistic dermatology."

Sometimes it's even as simple as flushing your gut with ACV. Some cystic acne is caused by bacterial growth in your gut. Mostly though, it's hormones or lack of certain supplements due to a modern diet. For omega fatty acids, I've found that the best way to balance that is not fish oil, because that can make things worse, or borage oil, which actually did nothing for me, but cod fish liver oil. CLO is like a spercharge of retin vitamin a and d, so it's like a three for one deal. The best way to take it is in it's oil form, but it honestly tastes like shit and each bottle is expensive. I've heard it's like liquid miracles though, so do some research and read some reviews on it if you decide to go that route. I hope I was helpful to you guys, cystic acne is quite honestly a life ruiner, and I tried practically every over the counter "natural" cure so the least I can do is offer up my experiences with some things to other anons. There's some anons floating around in these threads that have been drinking ACV, so for that, look up "apple cider vinegar for acne" on youtube for people who drank it to help them.

Like the other anon said, you're using too much salicylic acid. It's good to have in a cleanser if you suffer from acne, but you should use it twice a day, during your morning and night routine. Scrubs are made for exfoliation, which is getting the dead skin cells off. You only want to exfoliate something like 3 times a week, anything more just irritates your skin and leads to more acne. The basic skincare routine goes something like this:
>cleanse
>tone
>moisturize

Pretty much, you use the cleanser to wash your face, get rid of the oil build up, dirt, makeup, etc. Toners help balance your skin's pH, or are an extra kick to your skin's overall health. Moisturize is pretty self explanitory. If you have oily skin or suffer from acne, you don't want to use too many drying products because that just causes your skin to overproduce oil, makes it even more oily, and then leads to even more acne. The whole toner to balance pH is exactly that: you are trying to balance your skin's natural acidity and work with the natural oils your skin produces. Hope that helps.

This is going to be kind of gross, but I was wondering if the type of pus that comes out of your acne tells you about it? Like how yellow/green pus entails an infection. Also, sometimes when my cystic acne comes up, the area is incredibly swollen, and one time when I popped one out of frustration (I know, I know...) it just exploded....and pussy blood was...everywhere. Like a majority of what made up the cyst was watery, yellow/red blood. I obviously never did it again, but it made me wonder about the contents of these things when they don't come to a head.

For me it;s the highly competitive market. The cosmetics market for asian products is larger than any western company could ever dream about. So if a product or formula doesn't work in the slightest it gets left in the dust for another company and another formula. Reviews, studies, and customer recommendations are easier to find on a massive level. Also more brands focus on specific actives for a less horrendous price then western ones.

Things that piss me off about some asian skincare that people don't bring up in their desperation to wank about "kawaii packaging": heavily scented; often reformulated to be competitive; shipping kills me; sheet masks are kinda expensive for what they are 9/10 times.

Certainly you should be careful of whats in your skincare and makeup as >>8155332
says, but if you aren't looking at the ingredients in products you're trying you shouldn't be trying things that can't be easily returned in the first place. There's no superiority in one culture over the other (in fact many popular asian products are less expensive dupes of western ones) so really it's more a matter of what you and your skin need/want and what product you believe will best deliver that result.

I don't fuck with Chinese products though, so that's something. I know there are high end Chinese brands carried by Watsons and department stores but I'd rather stick with Korean and Japanese asian products.

The rosehip oil on the top of the thread's in regards to moisturization & tackling premature aging.
Toner is to remove excess makeup and dirt left behind the cleansing, and should also balance pH of your skin. Apparently too acidic skin can leads to breakouts, especially on oily skinned people.
If you are worried about your face not being clean enough, try the double cleansing method. That's a non-comedogenic oil rubbed into your skin, then wash off with a cleanser. People dig Cetaphil here. Then use your toner. I'd apply salicylic after that, then when it dries moisturize.

I've been dealing with seborrheic dermatitis on my face & scalp for a few months now, and I can't figure out how to get rid of it. It's basically patches of scaly, flaky skin on random parts of my face, and it comes and goes as it pleases. I haven't been able to figure out what triggers it, and the only thing that worked on it was a prescription hydrocortisone, which I've stopped using because that stuff is bad to use on your face longterm.

You should NEVER exfoliate this much. 2 times a week, tops. Exfoliating too much leaves your skin extremely dry. Even with adding moisturizer to the mix, it can weaken your skin. I do it once a week. Opt for a peel mask for the other time during the week if you really feel the need to do this.

Could be seeing your skin being too dry bcause of how much you are exfoliating. Your skin is trying to heal back the dead cells your scrubbed off, but they don't always heal back evenly which is the rough patches you may experience.

My routine:

[Weekly]
Exfoliate once a week.
Peel mask once a week.

[Daily]
Facial cleanser to clean face
Rinse warm water
Moisturizer

I do these ONCE daily. My skin is ultra dry, so I can't clean it so much. but this is enough for me to not get pimples and such all the time.

Also, I keep my facial moisturizer in the fridge. After cleaning my face, it helps reduce any redness by applying cool moisturizer.

There's a Neutrogena type available in drugstores that's advertised as "ultra-sheer" - it goes on smoothly and feels really light, and I don't think it's set off my acne.

My boyfriend is similar! I think he's squicked by the texture on his skin, since he doesn't like the feeling of chapstick or lotion or anything else that goes on gooey and doesn't harden/peel off (eg he's okay with glue and paper mache because he can pick the scabby remnants away).

I did a quick search and found that Vaseline has an "Intensive Care Spray Moisturizer," which seems to work like a spray sunblock bottle. It has aloe in it, too! He can spray it into his palm and rub it on his face - the texture isn't lotiony, and he'll (hopefully) get moisturised.

Have you tried buying through sellers that offer free shipping? I go through the same few sellers every time I need something because they're established, reliable, and don't have too much of a mark up. Also, innisfree does a lot of 10+10 deals on their masks which brings them down closer to 75 cents on a mask.

I used their First Essence, I thought it was ok. But I got a 10-sample pack of this caviar night cream by them and it was as scented as hand cream from a perfume gift set... And made my skin as you described.
None of their products say they're made with sensitive skin in mind, only "this will make wrinkles fade and skin brighter etc etc...". So I guess that's our mistake we learnt from.

I really have no idea what I'm doing. I wash my face at least once a day with Neutrogena 2% Salicylic acid acne wash (I try to do it twice, but sometimes I forget before going to bed or not enough time in the morning). Afterwards, I usually organize my face, beard, eyebrows, etc.. Then I apply Neutrogena's Men Triple Protect Face Lotion. I used to do Bentonite Clay masks with apple cider vinegar, but my facial hair made it tough to clean up and painful.

Generally, I have a mild/little acne problem. I usually get pustules(those little white puss filled ones) around my jawline, it's usually 2-3 on both sides of my jaw, luckily my beard partially covers them or they are underneath the jaw, so they aren't very visible. However, lately I've been getting more and more acne on my forehead, either being pustules or papules (the inflamed red ones).

I also got a bit of a dark circle problem, I've been thinking buying that Tonymoly Panda thingy, but I'm not sure how long term it's treatment is, or how long that stick will last and how frequent I will have to buy it.

What do I need to buy, how often should I use such and such, is there anything I can do to promote better skin?

Forgot to add, once I week I also use face masks. While they are cooling as is, I prefer to keep those and lotions for my face in the fridge to help me reduce my redness and to calm my skin more after taking a hot shower or bath [or after exfoliating].

These are the ones I usually use. I have tried other masks from Biore and boscia as well as other well known ones from Olay and such, but none work as well with my skin.

My skin is very sensitive and reddens easily. Not only that, I also have eczema [mostly on my outer arms and inner thighs, not the face, but I still treat the rest of my body like my face].

For people with ECZEMA: Instead of using hydocortizone creams, switch to lotions or face products containing UREA. This is a natural antiimflammitory which won't weaken your skin after prolonged use and smoothes your skin out easier and faster.

Ive been eczema free for months now because I have switched to St. Ives Oatmeal and Shae Butter lotion for my body. I use it every day, once a day, before bed. It lets my body soak in the lotion over night without clothes picking up the skin product. Really helps. Give it a try.

Skin, no makeup, by doing what I do from everything I keep replying to. The less products you put on your skin, the cleaner it is. This also includes going a day or two WITHOUT cleaning it or putting lotion on it. It makes the skin stronger and less prone to things like pimpled.

A lot of people think that the more you clean your face, the less pimples and wrinkles you will get. Wrong. The more you do to your face, the more makeup you constantly put on, the more strained your skin becomes.

I have a couple of questions, but I'll post my routine first. I'll admit I have no fucking idea about what I'm doing-- so if I'm doing something wrong, please tell me!

Morning:
>cleanser
>moisturizer
>sunscreen
>makeup (usually just bb cream, eyeliner, fill in brows and lip balm)

Evening:
>makeup remover
>cleanser
>toner
>moisturizer

OK, so. 1. I have really annoying blackheads/sebaceous filaments/those black things on your nose that you can never get rid of no matter how hard you try and I have no clue how to hide them or get rid of them.

2. At the moment, I'm using Garnier Moisture Match for combination to oily skin (cleanser, toner and moisturizer) but I don't really like the moisturizer because it makes me look greasy even if I only use a teensy tiny bit. I'm almost out of my cleanser and moisturizer, so I was thinking of trying some new stuff. Any recommendations? My nose is really oily but the gap between my eyebrows and forehead can get a bit dry sometimes if that helps

Any help is appreciated and I'm really sorry for the long post

THIS. I'm from Alabama, and my family is country as hell. My mom and sister don't even know what skin care is, but their skin is FLAWLESS. They have the bronzed skin of models. And whenever I ask them how they keep their skin looking nice, they say, "I just use a face wash and lotion." Up until recently, my mom didn't even use face wash. She just used water, and her skin was always clear. She only started using face wash because I brought home my cetaphil stuff and she digs it.

Just use a soft cleanser for your skin if you have dry skin. A mask maybe once a week. Follow up with pin-pointing the areas that are dry and use more lotion for your face there. My face gets really dry on the space between my eyes/forehead and my upper cheeks towards my nose bridge. I don't put much at all on my chin or my actual nose because those are never as dry.

I use Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen, SPF 55. I am usually wearing a hoodie year round or working in my store, so I really only use it on my face [yes, I use body sunscreen on my face], and it doesn't get rid of my freckles. Nothing does. Ive learned to love them. qq But, just so everyone knows, anything over 35 SPF, is selling you some bullshit. The higher the SPF the no better than 35 you are getting. Thats really all the sun does.

You gotta just embrace your freckles. I have. You could always lighten them with basic makeup [foundation and powder] which usually lightens mine, but some people are seriously just born with them. Sun or no sun. Its all in the genetics. Freckles are cute and there are tons of people who really like them.

I used to think my face looked dirty all the time because of them. but once you find what works for your skin as far as makeup and care go, you learn to like them and deal with them better than being so upset about them all the time.

My friend's dad picked it up, sniffed it, decided he liked the smell and just squirted out half the bottle to apply on his face/neck. I saw him and almost cried, when he went for round two I just, "Please stop that cost me $50 and is only for you face." He sheepishly put it back with my stuff and just walked away.

Good facial moisturizers for combination skin, preferably from Asian brands (just because they're easier for me to find/buy)?
My skin gets horribly dry but also tends to break out/get oily if I use most moisturizers. Back home I just used a simple oil-free moisturizer for combo skin, but I haven't been able to find an equivalent since I moved. This winter has also been absolutely terrible to my skin.

$50? Was it the "All Around Safe Block Essence" in the pink tube? I can't find any other Missha sunscreens, and that one's only USD$14 before shipping (unless you live outside the US and were using a SS).

He shouldn't have used your sunscreen without asking, but I also wouldn't have brought non-drugstore cosmetics on a beach trip with people - especially not sunblock, which tends to get borrowed and passed around.

Naw it wasn't that, it wasn't a pink tube so maybe it wasn't Missha? I always get the brands mixed up, I just remember I bought it direct from the site of the manufacturer and it was about $50.

We weren't at the beach quite yet, and it was in my bag, too. I don't know why he was going through it. It's also the only sunscreen I can use on my face without it breaking out really bad the next day which is why I brought it. The bottle doesn't even look like sunscreen you'd have to actually read the back label. Right after he put mine back and walked away, he walked to the counter probably 5 or 6 feet away and used one of the four giant bottles they had brought along for the trip.

I understand sunscreen gets passed around, but that's precisely why I had it in my purse rather than just laying about. I brought a body one for myself, too that I recall sharing, it's just that I can't use it on my face.

Like I said, anything over 35 spf is just selling you bullshit. There isn't much difference in coverage at all. The protection you get isn’t proportional to the numbers.

Is it a nervous habit? Or something closer to trichotillomania? The second might be much harder to kick, but what worked for me (and I say that loosely, cause I still mess up) was reminding myself that every time I touched my face, I risked getting ugly. I'm vain, so that helped tremendously. They go away on their own early on, so not messing with them saves you from the scars.

Its fine. Just don't apply heavy amounts. The difference in body and face moisturizers are the vitamins and chemicals in them. This is because you face has much more delicate skin. Especially around the nose, mouth, and the eyes, but nothing will really happen. Just don't expect smoother skin on your face to match your regular body after applying.

Meh, I've had pretty bad KP on my upper arms, thighs, and butt for about as long as I can remember, including when I was a really chubby 12 year old and a very thin, fit high-schooler. I'm a kind of lazy 23 year old now at an average/healthy weight (51kg at 156cm), and it's still the same.
Mine has, however, responded somewhat to:
-Nair/chemical hair removers (it's a lot less pronounced if I use this on my thighs every once in a while)
-Salicylic acid creams
-An extreme exfoliation/moisturizing routine

I also find that it isn't so bad in the summer, whether from the sunlight or from swimming a lot (also seemed to not be as bad when I was taking a lot of baths).

Toner is used to clean up excess makeup after you do a cleanse. Coz sometimes there's some fragments left behind.. putting it on a cotton pad and wiping does that.

Some toner varieties say they can help your pores reduce a little. Others like some witch hazel ones help with acne etc.

I don't put it on before makeup, I personally leave it for after I wear makeup.
So:
>Cleanse (makeup remover or oil, then use a foaming face cleanser to wash off the remover and oil)
>Dry it
>Toner
>Let it dry (do not wash off)
>Moisturizer

Nervous habit for me too, anon. I blame my aunt though since she would always pop big pimples on my sister and my face when we were going through puberty (sort of like a teasing thing but idk). There's just nothing more satisfying than seeing a big pimple and feeling the pressure of the pus breaking through the skin and reaching the surface. I'm gross.

I've tried telling myself that popping will only make it worse but I still do it. One anon recommended putting bandaids over pimples to prevent picking at them but I've never gotten around to it. Luckily my skin has improved tremendously since high school so I only have one or two pimples/scabs at a time but I should really learn to control myself.

Hello all, I'm sure this has been asked before, but I just met with my dermatologist and they've decided that my best route is to go on Accutane. I've been very reluctant to go on it because of all of the side effects and horror storries I've heard, but I'm at a point where I just don't care about that anymore, I want clear skin. All of my problems are under my skin, and some areas are so swollen they are black and blue, and I just want to cry because I was told that I have to wait a month to start to "make sure my birth control kicks in, and to be sure I'm not pregnant." Despite that I opted for abstinance, I find this incredibly unfair that I have to suffer another month like this.

However I do have smile lines, which I had way before I was 15. I explained a popularly supposed cause here >>8165959. I.e. a bone structure thing.
I wish I could have remembered where I read the facts on this shit. Sorry. At least you could cover yours with bangs?

Skincare doesn't check to see what gender you are before it decides to work. The only reason skincare is primarily marketed at women is because the industry banks on our low self esteem and high societal expectations. The real question you should be asking is if he'll bother using it, since most men are simple and can't use ~*girly products*~ for fear of hurting their fragile masculinity.

I got a burn from a fry basket I just pulled up when working at McDonald's and applied lavender oil daily. can hardly see it unless I look hard enough. Not sure if it will work on old ones, but any fresh ones, I recommend!

>>8169183
Yeah that's me too! I lift my brows and still look lineless (except a faint one above my left brow now), but damn those laugh lines.. I have been trying face exercises I googled to help them, apparently it can help minimize them. We'll see huh?

I have smile lines too. How old are you? My doc told me we start losing collagen in our 20's and the face starts to slowly sag. Face fat and structure will show these signs differently.

I get fillers and it helps but it's expensive, you have to keep up with it but some fillers help with collagen production.

I started in October. I've had very few problems with it at all, but my skin was excessively oily before hand. I only realised how oily it was because I've gone from having to wash my hair every day (and I've tried drawing it out before so it wasn't over washing it) to only needing to once a week.

The only side affects I've had are dry lips and hands, but both of those haven't been much worse than normal for this time of year. I'm also starting to get dry skin on my arms as of the last month or so, but now that I'm moisturising it's much better. I had my first ever nose bleed which I suspect is from it, and because I can't cut down on physical activity because all of mine is work I've been left aching from that, but tbh all of these are minor things and don't actually bother me that much day to day.

My skin's still not completely clear though, especially on my body. I've gone from 2-3 white heads a day to 2-3 a week, and they take longer to heal now. Don't expect miracles immediately, and expect to have to take care of yourself and your skin while you're on it.

I've heard that I should expect to have an "initial breakout" which is the medicine pushing everything out of my skin. My skin's actually been in the process of doing that the last two months because of the medicine I'm on right now, so do you think it would be alright for me to assume it will last about a month for me? Also, it's so great to hear about your hair, because I have to wash mine everyday, and I've been envious of people who can do it every two days.

Uhm, I've also decided to stock up on lip balms and moisturizer before I start, would you suggest I get a moisturizer with an spf in it? And, I like doing light work outs everyday, just 15 minutes kettlebell exercises, do you think this will be an issue with the joint paint? I had heart about people having problems falling asleep as well....

I'm so sorry for all of the questions. But I'm glad it seems to be working for you!! You're smart, doing it over the winter. I wish my dermatologist had suggested it in the fall, because now I'm going to be on it over the summer. Guess I should investin a good sunhat....

Have you considered bangs? I got them because my forehead was starting to look wrinkled, and the fact that I don't stress about it any more seems to have actually made the wrinkles smaller, hilariously enough.

Other stuff that could be a factor: dehydration (drink more water!), sun exposure (use sunscreen!), sleeping on your stomach (wrinkles from pressing your face into the pillow, try shifting to sleep on your back) and being really expressive with your face when you communicate.

There's a few options to deal with that last one: botox will freeze the muscles so you can't scrunch up your forehead, which will smooth out the lines; you can try to be aware of your facial movements and consciously stop yourself from doing them so much (cheap but really, really hard) or you can try something like Frownies or Realine to smooth out your skin while you sleep (less expensive than Botox but requires you to be very dedicated, they will work for most people but only if you use them every single night for at least a couple of months).

21, but it's happened since my teens.
I'll look into fillers - should I ask my doctor first or go straight to a beauty clinic?
When I went to the doctors for other personal beauty matters they just told me to get over myself and remember it happens to everybody eventually.

>>8169964
Frownies seem so good but so expensive for what they are - literally pieces of stiff sticky tape?

Its most accessible, since it's sold in practically every country in almost every store with a beauty and personal care department. That's why I feel the reviews are so good, besides the value for money. Anyone from USA to Rio de Janeiro can find a bottle, and these boards reach and international scope.

However I own a bottle (the oily skin one), and it's the cleansing product I always go back to whenever I go try new ones, western or otherwise.
