Started this thread because I need help.
I workout, eat the right amounts of meat, vegetable and dairy, get a good night' sleep + 30 mins nap in the afternoon.
Yet my face and under eyes look tired and dull. I have a picture of myself from a few years ago. I wasn't even that active back then and my skin was glowing. How do I get my face to look healthy, and also how to reduce puffiness and purpleness from the eye area?

Are there any sunblocks that don't moisturize? I've got a naturally smooth/moist face that gets really oily if I add on any moisturizer to it and it makes acne break out as well
i bought a really nice sunblock but unfortunately it moisturizes as well so my face got kinda shiny and the next day i started getting acne for the first time in a year. kind of annoying.
Do dermarollers work?
I've been picking at my skin since I was young and I wanna fix it as much as I can
A good day cream?
Sensitive, dry skin. But we're going towards summer so hopefully I can reserve my bathes in oil and moisturisers for the night.
I was looking at Aesop.
>>12368952
You got older.
>>12369335
Save some money, go to a derm.
>>12370307
seems like you have very sensitive skin, then.
what is your skin like when you're not doing anything with it?
I have some zits on my butt. They've been there for a few months now and I don't know what to do. I use Noxema pads on them every night and for the most part now they're flat but extremely red, and I don't really fuck with them.
>>12368952
Olay eye cream and Neutrogena hydro boost water gel
So, I'm 18, and think I'm past the acne stage. I rarely get spots anymore. I think what's 'left over' (after reading through the OP), is PIE.
I was hoping this would fade over time, but a year later it's still basically the same, hence why I'm here.
The main thing im self conscious about is the fact that I've got these big red patches (blotches?) on either side of my nose. Does this tie into PIE, like is it a common symptom?
Anyway, glad I found this thread. After a bit of googling, does 'Niacinamide' seem like a good start?
>>12370594
Should mention that I've also got more typical red spots/acne marks on my cheeks, too. And that I should be wearing sunscreen?
>>12368948
OP I have really dry skin on my face. I tried everything I've been recommended from friends and families, but still no luck. Any suggestions?
So I'm really lucky and the only problem I really ever face with my skin is a substantial amount of blackheads, however I have really dark baggy eyes. Thing is, I love having them, I'm not self-conscious about them, in fact I got offended when someone told me my eyes didn't look baggy to them. This is fine right? I feel like part of my character is my baggy eyes and it's my aesthetic kinda. This is caused by my excessive lack of sleep and obviously that's a poor lifestyle but I like having dark circles and I'm not affected very much by lack of sleep. Thoughts? Relate in some other way?

How to remove mouth wrinkles?
>>12370612
Moisturize
>>12370597
If its just red dots from past pimples I would suggest kojic soap. It lightens your skin temporary but gets rid of old red spots pretty well
>>12370607
My sister had some discoloration under her eyes and never seemed bothered by them, even when someone asked why it was discolored. She is more on keen on keeping herself natural looking which works well for her.
Are StriDex Maximum Strength pads still recommended?
>>12370607
I personally find the whole "le tired aloof cool guy" attitude really obnoxious but apparently it's endearing to everyone else so you keep doing you

putting anything on my face that isn't benzoyl proxide or tretinon gives me pimples, will these things be safe to use?
>>12370834
Generally yeah, they're safe but every skin is different. According to your problem those are the 2 that'll fix it.
My body is infested by moles.
Is there any hope for me?
Any way to reduce the appearance of pores on my face? Something that wont dry out my skin is preferred.
>>12370845
these?
>>12370873
Olay ultimate eye cream, and the neutrogena one is correct
>>12370878
holy fuck these are expensive
>>12370894

>tfw I shave pretty much everyday because stubble looks like shit on me and my beard makes me look like a bum

>still have good healthy skin
Feels good man
How to get rid of this. Currently using benzoyl and tretinon
>>12370607
I relate but I also have psoriasis lmao
>>12370594
PIE and acne scarring can be treated with a number of ingredients: AHA (glycolic, lactic, mandelic acid, etc), retinoids, or vitamin c serums. Different things work for different people.
Some of these ingredients will help address redness too. Niacinamide is more likely to help with redness, but could work well in conjunction with some of the previously mentioned ingredients.
>>12370307
Sounds like you're not moisturizing enough. Skin will overproduce sebum if it's too dry, causing more breakouts. Also try to use a cleanser with a slightly acidic pH (~5.5).
>have tried every medication in the op
>still have acne
fuck going on a diet, anyone know some other methods?
>>12373503
Kys
>>12373518
but for real, could it be possible to peel off the first layer of your skin using a potato peeler? i've been considering this for a while and i think it would work
>>12373524
Yes
YOU ARE ALL MERE BABYS!
>>12373571
this pic made me take a shower
>>12373571
try accutane if you aren't already
>>12373583
3rd month barly any improvement
I am already numb to the humiliation
>>12373579
Simple scrubbing wont remove these beauties!
>>12373597
Takes time.
>>12373524
That's fucking retarded.
Scrub your face with a washcloth in the shower under warm water, wash your face with a gentle cleanser, then rinse the cleanser off with cold water.
>>12373706
HAHHAHA YOU KNOW NOTHING!
>>12370612
Like on the lips or around the mouth?
>>12370612
Derm intervention.
If you like risky stuff, at-home dermarolling/-stamping/-penning.
>>12370894
they're made from foreskins, so yes
>>12373706
tell me exactly why peeling off just the very top layer of your skin wouldn't work
>>12373524
Isn't that pretty much the same as shaving? Retard
For some reason my cheeks are bright red throughout the day, regardless of weather. They seem to go back to normal around late evening.
WTF is going on with this? the rest of my skin is fine but its pretty impossible to look effay if you constantly look like you're having a heart attack.
I'm 20 and not overweight.
I need help /fa/
>mid 20's

Need help avoiding dry/flaky skin on face
Need help getting softer beard preferably all day long
Need advice on nose hair removal
>>12374431
moisturizer faggot
>>12368948
skincare is not fashion
>>12374440
Is that something I use in the shower, after the shower, I don't know.
I've tried lotions before, but they just feel heavy and untouchable once applied.
>>12374065
No, it's not shaving because shaving just removes hair where as peeling off the actual skin would remove skin.
If snakes can do it, surely people can do it too?
>>12374520
>peeling off the actual skin would remove skin
>If snakes can do it, surely people can do it too?
Anon, I hope you aren't really this retarded.
>>12374450
Can't you just read the instructions? Of the moisturizer, I mean.
>>12374582
I've never shopped for a moisturizer before, I'm clueless as fuck. Do I go to Walmart? Do they all work the same?
>>12374592
At this point, you're just trolling. I mean OP posted some guides. /r/skincareaddiction and /r/asianbeauty also have their wiki. You can also just visit CVS/chemist/pharmacy and ask the people over there.
When i get nervous or warm my skin breaks out in red blotches and i look like i have aids, shit also itches like a fuck
The fucks going on? i didnt have this 1-2 years ago
>>12374696
Stress sometimes induce Rosacea and Eczema on face. Go to a derm.
If you cannot afford it, the only solution is to kill your emotion by meditation.
>>12374030
It works, we call it face shaving.
>>12371558
Keep using benzoyl.
Tretinoin only works on PIH.
I am pale as fuck and always have been. I'm going to Dubai in the summer. Should I try and avoid the sun, or is there really nothing wrong with a tan? I know it's not "good" for you, but is it so bad either?
>>12373571
I'm so sorry dude, I really am.

START A SKIN CARE REGIMEN EARLY, SENPAI
I've finally gotten my routine to the point where I'm getting almost no new acne. However, I've still got red spots all over my face from past acne.
AM
>PanOxyl 10% in shower
>Olay regenerist regenerating serum
PM
>Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser
>Stridex 3 times per week
>Olay serum again
My skin gets pretty oily during the day but the serum seems to be lessening that. Any obvious recommendations to clear up those red spots from old acne?
