what do you need to know?

God fucking dammit it's so unfair. All my friends have perfect skin and they do NO skin routine. I slave away and still have shit skin. Fuck my genetics.

Does anyone know if Cosrx fixed the pH in their BHAs

I get acne in the winter. I have clean skin when I'm on a holiday with lots of swimming and sun. Yet, I like in England.

Is there any way I can use this knowledge to my advantage during the winter?

currently day 6 on the caveman regimen. i think its working... oilyness kinda reduced.

>>12378648
Same. I got fucked over completely, my GP won't get me a dermatologist appointment (as apparently """""""""it's not that bad""""""")and my skin got even worse when I changed diet to escape the Auschwitz prisoner mode. Fuck my skin and fuck nhs.

if you're interested in losing weight, then see /fit/

how much you need to exercise depends on your daily energy intake.

you cannot target any specific area for fat loss.

whats the best way to fade acne scars?
I don't breakout anymore, and there's no physical blemishes left. Just looking for a way to fade the red pigmentation.

>>12379998
Seems the consensus is to use laser for red PIE.

What's a good moisturizing sunscreen that doesn't have a high spf?
(I live in a colder country, so anything less than 50 spf)

>>12380530
Literally just buy a moisturizer and sunscreen separately.

>>12379810
go to /fit/ you sawed off hobbit

>>12379633
Go to a different doctor. Your doctor should be able to prescribe even a retinoid for you to apply to your skin. Can't you see a dermatologist without a referral?

>>12379924
I am going to get Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Eye Cream and see if it helps me out - my eyes are starting to show age with some slight bags and wrinkles forming which I'd like to reverse.

It's very expensive but I've heard so many good things about it that it's worth a shot - I just got a bunch of samples off ebay to see if it works first (find genuine sellers).

I don't have bad eye bags though, but it might work for you?

>>12379998
Retinoids, vitamin C serum, or azelaic acid.

can't afford real skincare products, so i've been applying aloe to my face

is this going to help with clearing up acne scars or am i just making my face worse?

>>12381573
Even cheaper ones like Cetaphil, Cerave, or Hada Labo?

I got the PCS(acne controlling) solution during the sessions.

Does anyone know will rinsing hair with water only regulate the sebum production of the scalp? I on currently experimenting with it and try not too shampoo at all.

I have very pale skin. I don't have pimples/acne anymore, not really, but my skin is pretty red around my cheeks. Suggestions?

I'm on accutane will my skin clear up in the next couple months enough for the girl I'm in love with to want to make out with me

It's the beginning of month 4 and its finally showing signs of remission

going to work at a fried chicken place for some extra money before I go off to college out of country
how do I maintain my skin while working there

>>12383465
Accutane is like a 2 year long treatment. Girls don't really care thaaaat much about acne as long as you are clean everywhere else, smell nice, and have a good attitude.

Good luck. Don't fall in love too much if you're not a couple yet.

i'm a luchador and recently, I have been getting acne, so I think it's due to my mask; I wash it every day, and I use cera ve moisturizer once every two days but all it's doing is slowing growth, not improving my face

at the end of my routine at night I use skinorem (recently started putting moisturizer on after cos my skin gets dry and itchy)

after my morning routine I use stridex.

would it be a bad Idea to trynuse these consecutively at night ? so stridex , wait 30 mins then skinorem then my moisturizer?

>>12383626
Wait I thought it was like 8 months

Also its not about how much they care its about the confidence to ask them to do something.

Like for some reason I had a miracle clear skin week for the few days I hooked up with her like a month ago but then it went back to being bad so I haven't talked to her much since

>tfw freshly shaven after a shower and applied moisturizer

Ahhh such a good feeling

>>12379998
Vitamin C serum (girls use it on their bikini lines to fade out scars from ingrown hairs)

>>12382420
Mah choices: Pauaschoice BHA liquid (chemical) or Kate Somerville's ExfoliKate for (physical, but $$$)

>>12382846
I would offer to go easy on the scrub exfoliation (limit it to once a week if you're super desperate) Do NOT use anything with retinol/retinoids (skin flake city) and double up on the hyaluronic acid (use something like Hydraluron to prep your skin before using an ultra-bland moisturizer, I don't care which one, nothing in a jar ideally. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser like Cetaphil before you do any of these things (and before/after workouts but you're probably already doing that)

>>12383370
I hate moisturizers because 99% of them make me break out in CCs or whiteheads or red spots or some bullshit. I feel your pain. The only ones that seem to work for me are (in price ascending) Nivea Soft, Clinique moisture surge txtended thirst relief, and FAB ultra repair. But I long for the day of a HG brand that I'll use until I die.

>>12384118
it's different for everyone, i was on it for 3 years, some people 6 months, some 8. firstly, try cutting out EVERYTHING that may be affecting your skin from your diet (try sticking only with vegetables, rice, chicken, oats, some fruit) for a while and see how you react.

mine actually came back after i went of accutane, i was kinda done with life at that point thinking there was no cure, it was actually here that i learned the only thing to fix it was diet and it was the only thing that properly worked. as a bonus you'll be a lot healthier in general.

also, if you go on accutane make sure you dont pick at/pop any spots at all, your skin won't be healing as well as normal and it can cause scarring. i'm about to get several radio frequency needle treatments done for that reason.

any recommendations for a daily face moisturizer with spf?

>>12384243
Why not, you know, just buy separate moisturizer and sunscreen?

>>12384221
I kept telling people, eat more vegetables. Shit skin comes from skit diet.

WHY IS MY FACE GO FUCKING GREASY I WASH IT LIKE EVERY 4 HOURS

>>12384451
murad mattifier is the answer. stop washing it so much, that will be making it worse. wash it once in the morning, put on mattifier and wash once at night.

>>12378662
Don't think so. They pretty much just said "it should still work" which is a bit sketch to me

>>12383370
Go for a chemical exfoliant (AHA) as opposed to a scrub
>>12384451
You're possible drying it out and causing overproduction. Try using a thicker moisturizer at night and a lighter one during the day, and blot oil with sheets or brown paper towels if you need to

Dermatologists gave me a routine:

Vitamin a 10mg
Cefuroxime 250
Clindamycin gel
Cetaphil
Galderma whitening Cream for dark spots.
Moisturiser + spf 30


Rate the routine. Also what are some good moisturiser sun blocks, for sensitive skin. Also should i discontinue using bha exfoliation?

I've had some really stubborn acne on my chest for a while now and I shaved it recently to see if that would help out and it did to some degree.

Now I have these red marks on my skin that won't seem to dissipate. They are completely flat and there's no puss/bleeding and they don't seem to be forming scabs.

Any ideas what these are exactly and what I should do about them? Thanks guys

Hey hey guys.

Could those who have/had oily skin post their routine and products they've had success with? I would greatly appreciate it.

I've been struggling to find products and a routine that I will stick with and sometimes I feel I fall victim to the mistake of applying too many products at once that then irritate my skin more.

Also to clarify, the correct product type order is:

1. Cleanser (usually done in shower with Cetaphil gentle cleanser))
2. Toner (I use Witch Hazel)
3. Exfoliate (I use the red Stridex SA pads)
4. Moisturizer (I use Cerve sensitive skin lotion)

Thanks for any feedback guys

>>12386290
Skincare is crapshoot. Just try it.

>>12386900
Time heal all.

>>12386915
You can try Stridex on clean skin before toner.

>>12386983
Alright thanks, I'll try:

shower cleanser>stridex (wait for it to dry) > Witch hazel (wait for it to dry) > moisturizer

At night I usually but benzoyl peroxide (5%) spot treatment after everything if there's especially bad spots

Anyone have experience with Vitamin E Oil for skin care? I've seen a lot of talk about its benefit but couldn't find any real results. I don't have acne at all, or even many scars. Only small scars I want to remove and thought it would help.

Anyway, I'm going to be doing a regime with it to see if it works and will take pictures for results. Just wanted to ask first in case someone had already tried it

Is taking two showers a day too much? If I go to the gym I definitely shower right after, but even on the days I don't I tend to take a shower about 1-2 hours before sleep and then another one when I wake up.

Is this alright? Thanks guys

>>12387119
It's BS. The reason why people resort to home-dermarolling is because there is no affordable and reliable solution for acne scars.

>>12386915
stop using soap when you shower. shower less frequently/shorter times. Went from acne freak to clear magically. Also don't use shampoo just conditioner unless you get dandruff use some head and shoulders. inb4 puberty 24 and only been about 2 years of clear skin trying everything before accutane. Inb4 smelly, use elbow grease, pun intended

>>12388428
Awesome. Were you using it with anything, such as benzoyl peroxide?

>>12388333
Just be conservative. Skinoren should be milder and pretty much providing similar results to Stridex. Also cheaper.

How do I dry out a pimple?
I have goddamn mt. fuji on my nose and it keeps refilling i have to squeeze -gently and sterilized of course- every 12 hours or so.

>>12388449

Nah. My regimen included it along with a zync oxide mask and an exfiliator called Betagranulos which is unavailable in the US, as far as I know only in Latin America. All else were the staples of a skincare regimen: cleanser (murad for acne), and SPF50 shit.

Doc also suggested not consuming dairy, spicy foods, and junk, processed foods. This advice I adhere to, save for the spicy food because I fucking love salsa. Self made of course.

How do i stop ingrowth on my beard? Whenever I shave i get ingrowth and then hair follicles become pimples

>>12388727
Don't shave completely against the grain. I do a pass through with the grain, and then sort of sideways and I do just fine. Who knows though, ask your derm

>>12388727
is your facial hair really curly like a black person?
get a safety razor and dont pull the skin tight.
you have to sacrifice closeness of shave, so the hair cant get under the skin.

alternatively buy a good beard trimmer with a really close setting
and just keep your shit in +12 hours after shave mode.

>>12388735
>>12388746
I don't shave against at all. My hair is straight

>>12388766
you might be accidentally shaving against if you're getting them on your jawline or neck. for instance the hair under my jaw bone actually grows toward my ear. so when I pull my cheek skin up to swipe that area I go towards my ear with the grain.
I got ingrowns a lot in my teens before I started doing that.

either way ingrowns come from shaving too close for one reason or another. try an astringent too to get rid of any inflammation post shave to attempt to keep the hair away from the pore.

>>12388572
benzoyl peroxide and then a small bandaid on

>>12388670
>spicy foods

strange. there's no evidence for it that I've seen.

just use sunscreen bro, red pigmentation goes away on its own given that you've protected it from the sun

>>12389978
Don't wear tight clothes, use anti-bacterial soap and scrub with a loofah then use a moisturizing body wash so your skin doesn't dry the fuck out.
Also moisturize your back with lotion, if you find your back oily even after with lotion then stop applying lotions, don't forget to switch out your sheets and pillows more often.

(sorry for the gross pic, i shaved my leg a few weeks ago to try exfoliating/scrubbing, obviously it didn't really help)

How is Tiege Hanley?

>>12392468
You should be exfoliating with a BHA then an AHA!

>>12391464
this this this

>>12391461
get a different moisturizer. it should be absorbing into your skin

>>12383809
you have absolutely no reason to be using an exfoliator in the morning, what the fuck?

>>12392959
Idk man, it kinda works. But in terms of combating spots it's pretty much all I've got so idk what else I'd use

>>12392801
You may have Keratosis Pillaris though I'm not so sure about that. KP is like tiny white bumps similar to chicken skin commonly found on arms all the way to the shoulders and back.
Basically what happens is keratin blocks your hair follicles. Accidentally scratching them or outright removing them instantly leaves a dark mark for me that looks just like yours. Consider going to a dermatologist to have yourself looked at because KP does not go away ever, and you have to have a very strict routine if you want your skin to look normal.

>>12391461
Have you tried applying moisturizer with a damp face? Like having a few water droplets still? The skin absorbs the water alongside the moisturizer if you do this so the moisturizer doesn't just sit on top of your skin.

Source: I went to a derma and told me to do this when applying moisturizers and lotions, it really does work.

>>12392976
thanks. i guess it's about time i visit a dermo. my usual solution to everything skin/hair related is to swim in the ocean and get some sun. maybe it's time for me to try science.

Oh yeah probably. But not by much. It's still filled with broscience and markerters.

>>12392972
Don't worry. Just do what works for you.
A lot of pseudoscience in skincare.

>>12377401
is there much that can be done about acne scars that look like dents in your face? Do they improve over time?

I tried CeraVe moisturizer and i got a lot of whiteheads so i stopped using it and picked up Nivea creme in the blue tin. Still getting whiteheads, just less of them. Could it be breaking me out?

>>12393488
sure.
all people react to products differently (YMMV).
Cerave was great for me as it helped my skin heal more without me getting more zits from it. Just try another moisturizer. you can probably just use this one on the body if you need to.

>>12393488
Skincare is probably about 50% finding the right products. just keep on trying things until you've found the right one.

As a novice I've only got the basic moisturizer + cleanser so far (Cerave/Cetaphil) and I'm looking to acquire more products, starting with sunscreen and exfoliant.

>>12379633
I can visit a dermatologist or any other specialist for just a $40 co-pay even if I can't get a referral. Does bongland insurance not work like that or you you just too cheap for co-pays?

Just finished first month on Accutane, 5 to go. Ask me anything (for anyone considering it)

>>12393654
do it
it just werks

also cleanse, exfoliate, moisurise and sunscreen is a MUST if you want good skin

>>12393919
I did it too a few years ago, good luck

>>12393508
>>12393570
Thanks. Do you have any suggestions for moisturizer?

>>12393919
Educate me on Accutane, what about it and why should people use it?

>>12394378
I use Olay on my face and Vaseline on my body.

>>12394384
Why? Because it's literally the cure for acne and the people that don't take it because of the side effects are seriously just pussies because yeah they suck but literally all can be managed (and practically avoided) with EXTRA CARE. You can go into it thinking you can keep up your normal routine and be fine. No tane is literally chemo. I found that sex sucked and I would get really dry down there so I used vitamin e suppositories. SOLVED. My lips were dry. AQUAPHOR. Water water water. Joints do hurt and I have no motivation to work out which is probably the worst part. I haven't gone to uni gym since I started taking it and I used to be an avid lifter and go every day. But that's ON ME. And no one else. Yes and does make me feel tired and lazy but half the time it's because I convince myself it's the tane causing it when really it's just me. Supplements are a necessity, I take around 15 pills a day. But I have literally not had clearer skin since I was 9 and this is only the first month, looking forward to being crystal clear out the end of it so I'll stick it out, it's worth it. THe people that say it makes you suicidal and depressed have never actually had severe/moderately severe acne because nothing makes you more depressed that not wanted to leave the house and canceling dates with a guy you like because of a huge zit. I literally moved and didn't say goodbye to one of my friends because I was so embarrassed of my skin. Take control of your life and your skin, there's literally no reason not to. Rant over

Should I shower at night or in the morning? Any benefits of either?

Since starting Keto and stuffing my face with various fats, my skin has never looked better.
I frequently get compliments on it.

I also moisturise semi-regularly.

>>12394531
>12394531
either.
But go cold.

>>12394555
What advantage does cold have over warm? I'm googling it too, but I'm curious what your answer is.

I got a differin (Adapalene) prescription. I know to use sunscreen and a hat daily. Anybody have other advice for using this medication? I am having some bad acne and I know it's hormonal because I started testosterone replacement recently.

Trying to do my research and get my act together. I've had dry and oily skin since my teens, wide pores on my cheeks and nose, and generally struggled with mild-to-moderate acne. It probably hasn't helped that I've often swung from not taking almost any care of my skin, to over-scrubbing and over-treating, which I suspect causes flare-ups.

It's occurred to me that my skin and hair is probably desperately in need of moisture. My skin is also super-sensitive, which might explain some of the minor irritation on my body. Any experience or recommendations for people with skin like mine? I'm basically trying to put together a workable kit, and figure out the habits I need. Preferably no-frills, no-fragrance, hypoallergenic where I can get away with it, like lotions and moisturizers and exfoliators.

Any tips for whitening skin or removing tans? I hate how I look with a tan.

Made a dermo appointment because I have some kind of weird genetic skin condition that my grandfather apparently did that requires treatment. No insurance. $125 to walk in the door. Universal healthcare when. Sorry for blogging.

>>12394935
Go to a fern and get tetrinoin cream prescribed. It rebuilds your collagen and works like a dream. Only thing that really works besides laser really

>>12394407
Just trying to help people :'( I'll leave now. Enjoy your acne pleb

>>12395010
is there any particular reason not to opt for laser?

>>12394815
I wouldn't suggest doing extractions on your own because it can cause dark marks if you aren't careful, even with a steamed face.

I plan on using procto-glyvenol (hemorrhoid cream) to treat my dark circles.

I'm out of options, really.

Are there any risks to this?

>>12395594
Olay makes great face and eye creams, have you tried any of those yet?

>>12395877
Why ?

>>12395877
topical application of diluted acetylsalicylic acid is fine.
it's just an acidic NSAID. it's not what the writer thought it was though, namely salicylic acid.

also, this is 4chan. we're anonymous here. you don't need to make up claims that you're a doctor just because you feel like your opinion is more important than everyone else's.

>>12395889
it's a makeshift exfoliant solution. it doesn't really work, though, but it doesn't really harm the skin either.

>>12395894

acetylsalicylic acid has said properties but when applied to mucosa, not to skin retardo

>>12395898
That's incorrect.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9681665

>The analgesic effect [of ASA] can be obtained only after topical administration, because by this route the skin levels of ASA are much higher than after oral administration.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12013195

>In inflamed skin, flare areas were smaller after pretreatment with aspirin 10% (p<0.01) and mepyramine (p<0.001), as were wheal areas after aspirin 10% (p<0.01), aspirin 1% (p<0.05) and mepyramine (p<0.001).

btw why do you need an antiinflammatory component when clearily its about drying up the skin and unlocking pores

unless you have acinetobacter israeli, psiorarisis or allergic skin reactions you don't need anti-inflammatory compotent, what are you doing nigger

ditching this hoe thread

if you have a chronic acne problem consult a dermatologist, it's not always about your hygiene you retards stop having low self-esteem

Got the toner a few weeks ago, still don't know how to use or incorporate it in my routine.

>>12393288
Laser, chemical peels, small surgery, dermaroller.

>>12395921
The information was posted to inform people of what was actually scientifically correct. It wasn't meant for him (you) as much as it was for everyone else.

>why do you need an antiinflammatory component

You don't /need/ it. But acne is an inflammatory condition. Applying different kinds of anti-inflammatory substances topically can help reduce swelling, pain, and redness. The low pH of the ASA/SA prevents further growth of acne-causing bacteria.

>its about drying up the skin and unlocking pores

Exfoliants help with unclogging pores.

>unless you have acinetobacter israeli

An A. israelii infection in the skin is treated with ordinary antibiotics, not anti-inflammatory substances specifically.

>psiorarisis

*Psoriasis is actually commonly combated by trying to reduce inflammation, among other things.

>what about it
The gist is that when you start taking it the first couple of weeks will be the worst outbreak you have ever had. After that it's relatively(compared to your normal pimples, zits, acne etc.) smooth sailing. You get your blood taken once a month if I remember correctly. You're not allowed to take any alcohol, the drug takes its toll on your liver or something like that. Your face is probably quite oily normally before you start taking the drug, but once you're finished with the treatment it will be quite dry normally. This is because your pores are effectively all dried up, what allowed the pimples and acne to spout has been shut off damn near permanently. There's a whole list of possible side-effects, some quite awful, and obviously if you experience any of them you have to immediately stop. I didn't have any. The worst thing that came about from the treatment was simply the minor scars left over from the pimples, some premature wrinkles especially on the forehead, but as a guy it really doesn't matter that much. And I guess, if I hadn't gone on the treatment, I'd have had pimple scars regardless, but at least this way I was free of the pain much quicker, and I'm guaranteed I won't get any for the rest of my life, like some people who get them all through their 20s. I can't explain how nice it felt to actually be able to easily wash and rub my face freely once all was said and done.

>and why should people use it?
Use it if you either have very serious acne problems or, my own case, nothing else worked against the incessant stream of pimples. I was on another pill for a few months, and while I was taking these pills the pimples stopped, but shortly after ending with the pills I started getting pimples again. After this I was told I could go on Accutane. If I could go back and choose to do it again or not I'd do it all over again.

>>12394400

R8 my skin

quick tip i learned after trying literally everything under the sun with no results.

getting new pillow might help. I used to have the same pillows for like 15 years. i would wash the pillow case but my pillows were fucking disgusting. got some new ones and no more acne.

>>12377401
i've been neurotically washing my face (hot first then cold) and afterwards using Aloe Vera gel and it cleared up my face basically entirely

that's if i don't shower. if i do shower i literally put fucking ((aloe vera)) handsoap on my face which normally would dry it out, but afterwards i mitigate this with aloe vera gel

so basically just a ton of aloe vera. nothing else works. i think i get my acne from dry skin + oily pillow cases + my glasses maybe

Are derma rollers effective? I was thinking of buying one for wrinkles/scarring

>>12397599
Not too bad. Why are you soaked with sweat, why arent your eyes fully open and why are you twelve?

>>12397468
Not gonna work. Consult a derm if you have the money. Dermaroll if you're poor.

Can anyone suggest a sunscreen that doesn't leave me looking like I'm wearing whiteface?

>>12401106
There are tinted sunscreens.

So I recently made the change from basic bitch "Clean & Clear" and Neutrogena brands found in the grocery store to actual clinical skincare and I really urge those of you with oily problem skin to do the same. The health/quality/clarity of my skin is actually really satisfying after only a couple of weeks but I did this routine morning and night like clockwork which is probably why I saw the results so quickly.


My morning routine:

>Cleanser

The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Cleansing Foam

>Serum

Perricone MD PRE:EMPT SERIES Skin Perfecting Serum

OR

Origins Original Skin Willow Bark Serum

>Moisturizer

Origins Ginzing Energy-Boosting Moisturizer

OR

Perricone MD PRE:EMPT SERIES Oil-Free Hydrating Cream


>Spot treatment if I have any spots

boscia Clear Complexion Willow Bark Spot Treatment


My night routine is almost identical, except at night I use Origins Zero Oil cleanser, because after a day of work and play, my skin is greasy af. Then I use Origins night-a-mins as an eye cream because my eyelids get so dry overnight they get literal flakes in the morning.

>>12401234
But then I'd have to spend a ton of time matching my skin tone right?

Do chemical sunscreens leave a white residue? Also if they're not FDA approved are they easy to get in the US?

>>12401442

I would just go with moisturizer equipped with SPF protection, rather than specific sunscreen products.

I want to add a snail product but fatty alcohols break me out and I can't find any without them.

>>12401505
How is that dry touch sunscreen?
Does it leave a whitecast or make your face feel greasy?

>>12401519
I didn't notice a white cast, but I'm very pale. It's less greasy then other sunscreens that I've tried.

>>12401442
>But then I'd have to spend a ton of time matching my skin tone right?
If you really care that much, use make up.

>>12379805
You have average skins, it's okay. And you are not ugly either for a non white, but smile more.

is it normal that my skin looks shiny and polished but not greasy after a skin care routine?

cerave foaming cleanser
stidex
vitamin c serum
men's lab moisturizer
biore sun screen

>>12401996
>men's lab moisturizer
>biore sun screen
Literally just replace these.

>>12402067

why replace biore sunscreen or the men's lab gel moisturizer?

they haven't broken out my face.

yeah i know the biore suncreen has alcohol but my skin isn't sensitive to it.

and i asked because all the people i know who take care of their skin have a polished look to it.

>>12402067

>replace the best sunscreen on the market

NO.

>>12402108
If you think you look normal then just keep doing what you do.

>>12402119
>best sunscreen on the market
It's really not. I get it's affordable. But some people can afford better sunscreen.
Dude got shine problem, I told him to replace the products that give him shine. Common sense, really.

>>12402121

you actually didn't tell him any products. what do you recommend?

>>12402122
How should I answer that?
He got access to local pharmacy/chemist. And ebay. And amazon. He should shop around. Skincare is personal thing. Some people respond negatively to popular products.
People who recommend particular products online are just shills.

>tfw girl and always had acne when shaving facial hair until now
Girls (or guys) can ask my regime, I get 0 pimples now. I even faded a bit of my scars and its been only 2 days since I've been doing this.
Ah, I luv smooth skin

Ross and TJ Maxx have a bunch of different vitamin c serums in their skincare sections. How do I choose a good one that will actually work?

>>12394550
Can you go into detail on your diet and skin care regime? I'm also on keto but I haven't seen any considerable improvement.

>>12394952
Bumping with a comment. I've noticed that my skin is prone to build up without semi-regular exfoliation (once every two-three days), and I see on one guide here that it's actually recommended to exfoliate first, before washing. So I guess to start with, does anyone actually do this, and what exfoliators do you recommend?

>>12404847
>that it's actually recommended to exfoliate first, before washing
Where? Common sense says, exfoliate on clean skin after washing.

>>12404993
http://tuxbell.com/index.php?title=Grooming#Notes

I'm a bit skeptical of this myself, but the common explanation is that by exfoliating first, you will be able to wash your skin more effectively, as opposed to the other way around.

How many of these ingredients are super bad? mainly the alcohol ones. I don't recall just seeing "alcohol" listed alone so that's a bit confusing, but then again I don't tend to intensively read ingredients cause my skin isn't fussy

>>12379805
maybe that photo is not the best but if you are that arsed you could use moisturising skin bleach. The goal is not to turn white but just reduce the brassy tones from your skin. You are quiet good looking, maybe get a better haircut. /effay/ is a great place to look for fashion because everyone uploads asians.

how do I get rid of hyperpigmentation from scars? Over 8 years of suffering with acne i have a few brown spots, one has got really thick hairs coming out of it.

>>12408808
Tretinoin. Kojic Acid. Vitamin C serums.

when will the "just eat healthy and you'll be fine"-meme die?

>>12408858
I know it's not necessary but I think the underlying meaning here that eating healthy would also mean balancing out your body's nutrition which would make you more energetic and lively and ultimately feel more confident about yourself.

>>12408727
Vaseline, aquaphor, lanolin.

Google the rest, also google wim hof if you're interested in the more extreme cold things.

>>12394645
Not him but cold water is better for your hair, though hot water is good for the skin since it opens up and you can cleanse and exfoliate them thoroughly, finish it up again with cold to tighten the pores.

Your face is a myth.

Cleanser (a 'proper' one, e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction/wiki/cleanser_recs -- I usually buy whatever one's on offer...) + Niacinamide (The Ordinary) + Moisturiser w/ spf 15

Does this sound like a good/simple routine? Main aim is to reduce acne scars and general redness/blotches. I'm also a student so trying to be cheap where possible, a lot these recommended products can get quite expensive, and ofc they're not guaranteed to work for everyone.

So I'm on holidays and I'm at a campsite. I go to the beach like twice a day and I'm starting to get pimples. I can't use a toner, face wash, and moisturiser because I forgot to bring it.

I'm using these like every time my face feels greasy but it seems to dry my face should I use something else (that does not require any water)? Or should I buy some moisturiser.
My face also seems to feel really sticky after wiping it with the tea tree stuff. Also note, I haven't been using the tea tree stuff long enough to see if its doing good or bad on my face. Other than, I tried it yesterday and now I have a big yellow pimple on my my left side of my face.

you're on holiday, stop obsessing about your skin and have fun.

Look up what retinoids do and how C.I.T. from microneedling works. They are arguably the best things to do against acne scars, although the average person may not have the same level of success as that picture.

But it hurts

Thanks.

lmao you look like you in the back of a police car just stole some pokemon cards

can some other Acnefags tell me how long it took them from the point of starting a skincare routine to having a clear face?

How do i get cheap prescription sunglasses? I want to avoid crows feet but I am very nearsighted.

I looked on zenni optical but the sunglasses from them just look like they're tinted. Not actually UV protecting.

Fucking this. The struggle. Had a breakout last week and it will take weeks for it to completely clear up. The worst part is I need sunscreen but I haven't found the right product yet. Might get another breakout while testing a suitable sunscreen.

Never because for a majority of people this holds true. But people with sensitive skin are simply fugged

reminder to make sure your shampoo works for you too

I want to lighten my skin tone with vitamin c serum.

Anyone know a good product suitable for oily and acne prone skin?

I used to have fuckhuge pimples that refill and would last for weeks if left untreated and also really dark spots. I used to think it was still puberty but I'm already in my early 20s so I thought i should start fucking take care of my skin. I heard about benzoyl peroxide and tretinoin and immediately both those. My face fucking cleared after two weeks, dark spots probably cleared after a month. It was also the start of my skincare routine and I only ever get pimple when my face gets really dirty and I don't cleanse myself very well.

how do u know your sterile

Just go to a dermatologist and get accutane dude. I wish I would have done that earlier instead of wasting like a whole year being EXTREMELY disciplined with my diet and hygiene, just to be rewarded with mild acne. Had completely clear skin after two months of accutane. Had a low dose, but that's good. Didn't want to have any more (temporary) hair loss from that gay shit.

yeah yeah but what is the best one? I just want to use it on one blackhead infested area

got a massive boil coming through right on my face, not sure what to do about it. Really don't want a scar!

>>12414314
i have balls but they don't produce testosterone (need shots) or sperm. realized when i didn't hit puberty even in high school.

Bump

Any tips for grease on the nostrils? This shit is fucking solidifying there and turning that area red.

I very rarely get spots (maybe once on my face every two weeks) but I have pretty bad blackheads on my nose/cheek area. Face isn't greasy, wash every day with basic products (usually cheap shit like clean and clear or Bulldog, idk if bulldog is a meme).

Any ideas on why i'm getting mad blackheads and if there's way to stop getting them rather than just buying one of those hook things and scraping my face?

Try using toner.

Has anyone had any experiences with their diet triggering their acne? My acne is kinda mid level, and I found that coffee tends to really kick it into overdrive. I started a new job a few months ago, and the coffee machine in the office meant I was drinking like 2 or 3 a day, easy. A few weeks later, my face looked like a fucking pepperoni pizza

I went cold turkey and it's shaping up a lot better now. Not sure if it's coincidental, but I'd be really cut if i have to cut out coffee to help my skin stay nice

How do I treat this stuff? It looks like reddish/darker spots on my skin. It's not acne, it's flat. It look like a pigmentation change. I have it all over my face.

Anyone here manage to get rid of their keratosis pilaris?

>tfw i have to go out 2day but have a huge shiny zit right on my nose

Salux washcloth and gold bond rough and bumpy cream helped me. Cerave Renewing and Amlactin are similar products that also work well for KP.

All kp creams are photosensitizing so you must use a sunscreen if you use them. Pic related, i think it was like $12.

Shitty pic, but you could try toner, exfoliation, and make sure you wear some sort of SPF moisturizer when you go out. The skin looks like it might be getting irritated by the sun... If all else fails, you can get a tinted moisturizer to help remove unevenness.

I tried but my iphone couldn't focus. Thank you

I think I need a new soap. This soap I have is leaving a really weird smell on my armpits I think, so I need to try something else.

Any suggestions?
