been using bp for like 3 weeks and haven't noticed much difference

should i keep going with it or what?

Good eating habits, good hydration, good amount of sleep, wash with wather only and moisturize. That's it. Oh an exfoliate once a week with a high quality peeling.

>What BP %, how much, morning and night? moisturizer?

2.5%, morning and night (sometimes midday aswell) and yes i always moisturize after (oil free of course)

the lel, the kek, lmao´ing at you bateman-tryhards

just put some high quality oils on your face for 30 min or so, three days or less a week.

eat more carrots, pineapple, cook your cacao, raspberries....

>yes i always moisturize after (o
so does moisturising after bp really saves the skin of bp damage? :/

>>10651456
i just do it to prevent dry skin

no real damage is done if you don't moisturize tho

>>10651037

my skin is very red and quite a lot of people have pointed it out to me, is there a way i can get more normal coloured skin?

bump 4 all

i want more face products to play with, what should i give a try?

My back and arms are shades darker than my face and body, what can I do to make it a lighter shade so I look less retarded?

>>10652560
get checked for rosacea

also eat veggies (see the faq), tan, and use a concealer/foundation

>> 3 times a day

How the fuck does that not irritate you? Once a day is enough...

I have red spots/irritation on the neck (pic related) that come obv from shaving. Any tips to make them disappear ?

>>10654732
switch blade. use more whip cream. avoid too much pressure from the razor -> on skin

I was recently prescribed some products to help fight acne. First there's a cetaphil foam wash cleanser. Then some clindamycin phosphate pads, and epiduo gel (adapalene and benzoyl peroxide. My current routine with these is. In the mornings I apply the cleanser, then wait and wipe with the pads. Same in the evening, except after I apply the epiduo gel and let it sit overnight.

I was wondering if there's anything I could add to this. I know the basic structure is cleanser, exfoliator, moisturiser, but I'm not sure if any of those could be considered exfoliators, or if adding anything would be too stresful on the skin.

i got a shit back with moderate-acne. how can i start fixing this?

>>10654732
I still get them on my neck when I rush too fast, here's what helped me:

1 - don't shave against the grain there, my neck's too sensitive so i usually just go with and call it quits, i'll go across the grain too if i'm feeling adventurous
2 - push less, use more cream like >>10654739 said. if you're not using a can make sure you're getting a thick enough lather
3 - i shave in the morning, and then make sure to scrub exfoliate a little on my neck when i do my routine at night. this step might be a bit controversial since we're not the biggest fans of scrubby scrub exfoliators around here, but i do it every once in a while to try and keep from getting ingrowns
4 - also like >>10654739 said, make sure your blade is sharp enough, gotta know how many shaves you can get outta each blade

>>10655130
see if that works first, you don't always need a 10000 step process every night to start seeing results, and skincare improvement is hardly ever an overnight difference

>>10655141
basic barebones routine can be as simple as a cleanser and a moisturizer, check dat OP poast

question.

I read you shouldn't expect any changes in your skin within the first 4 weeks. Is this true? Sorry, new to this and kinda discouraged after seeing no changes after a week

>>10657982
Yeah. Basically for any routine or skin treatment expect it to take a while. Thats why some treatments its nice to do a before and after picture. After one week the chance youll notice anything is extremely unlikely. Its like weight loss/gain. You see yourself everyday. So seeing the small changes that are happening, is nearly impossible.

An interesting thing ive been dealing with, I usually wore a shirt to bed (Like an undershirt or something) It just became a habit while I was in the military, since we never went to bed without a shirt, since we were mostly outside.

Anyway, I started to recently take my shirt off while I sleep, and it makes a huge difference. Like within days I noticed a difference which was surprising.

I know its kind of obvious that wearing a shirt would create acne but I always wore a clean shirt.. So I wasnt being too far retarded. Anyway small things like that might help anon.

Has anyone here tried liver cleanses for their skin? Saw a doctor about my skin and he said it was due to my liver having to purge toxins.
