Lets discuss some general self-improvement tips, from improving your hair to helping with self-esteem

Here's something that I'm currently doing for thicker/darker eyebrows (Pic related)

1. Wash your your eyebrows and the area around them
2. Using clean fingertips, massage Castor Oil into your eyebrows. If you want your eyebrows thicker or wider, apply some castor oil a bit above/below/to the sides of your eyebrows to thicken them/extend them. Make sure you don't put too much.
3. Allow a few minutes for the oil to absorb into your skin.
4. Using a cotton ball/pad, remove excess oil. Do not rub, just pat them down a bit to remove the oil.

Do this every night and within a week or two you will have very noticeable results. Max results will be around a month or two. At this point, you can stop doing this altogether or maybe once every few days. I personally did it twice a day, once at night and once in the morning but it's probably a bit excessive. Be careful not to get the oil anywhere else on your face, you might break out.

My eyebrows used to be very thin/sparse but since I've been doing this my eyebrows have been nice and thick and much darker and healthier looking (aesthetic as fuck) to the point where I get plenty of compliments from women about my eyebrows (I'm male). This'll work for both men and women.

Forgot to mention that you need to wash the oil out in the morning (pretty obvious if your not an idiot)

OP here. It definitely works. Like I said, my eyebrows used to be very thin and sparse but are now much thicker and darker.

If you do not want your eyebrows bigger, only darker, just ignore the second half of step 2. This way, they'll still get a big thicker, but only where you already have hair growing.

basically

Wipe off the excess. Doing this will leave a thin coating/layer in your eyebrows skin, enough for it to take effect. Be careful not to spread the oil when you remove the excess (that why you pat to remove, not rub).

http://www.acne.org/regimen.html

Follow this exactly as laid out for clear skin.
The important part of this regimen is that it emphasizes the importance of touching your skin as little as possible to minimize any possible irritation.

Also, remember to exfoliate your face 1-2 times a week. Doing this removes old dead skin to make way for new skin to grow. Do not exfoliate to harshly as you want to minimize irritation as much as possible.

Change your pillow case everyday or every other night.

Use a separate towel for your face and change it every day or two.

Avoid touching your face at all times.

Do all of these things persistently, do not get lazy a few times and think "Oh, I'll just do it next time" since those few times you fuck up are probably the main cause of your skin problems.

I've had bad skin all my life and following all these steps has cleared up my skin. Good luck brother.

it would seem the chemical stripping of the astringent is to acne as shampoo is to seebum. by not removing natural oils from the horny layer everyday, my skin began producing less oil.

on a sidenote, the only acne product i have ever found to help clear out skin and not increase oil production is tea-tree cleanser. that shit is gold (and smells good).

Yeah, it's genetic. My Dad still has some Bacne, my Mom had facial acne until she was 25. I'm 20 and I still have both, though moderate since I bought a years worth of Salycilic Acid and Benzoyle.

Though, moisturizers fuck my skin up really bad. I've tried oil free, extra gentle, prescribed, etc... they all just make everything worse. So I just got used to the Benzoyle and shit, and my skin cleared right up and stayed that way with a daily application in the shower each morning. Minimal dryness, too.

I could also attribute my clearer face to changing my pillow case every day, and drinking a lot of water as well. I'm sure it certainly helped.

Do you have curly hair?

Curly hair is a nightmare for shaving because you get unavoidable ingrown hairs constantly. The only real solution I've found - aside from simply trimming my stubble other than shaving, is to simply hold a warm washer over my neck after shaving and before I go to bed that night. It seems to stave off the worst of it.
