Some review from amazon:

I went to the dermatologist for help with my very dry and very sensitive skin. My dermatologist recommended that I no longer exfoliate due to the sensitivity and try Cetaphil. I'd heard of it before but never wanted to try it.

So I've been using Cetaphil for only a week, and my skin is radiant! My pores are tiny, my t-zone is no longer flaking, I have no more random annoying whiteheads, and my face is absolutely glowing. Even my boyfriend has commented on my newly supple complexion!

The product also doesn't leave my skin looking/feeling oily later on, even in the morning after I wake up. Cetaphil feels very balanced and light while managing to be quite effective. I also like that it is fragrance free -- I do not need the added ingredient on my sensitive face.

I ~highly~ recommend this product if you're still looking for one that works. Wow, what a difference! :)

(For posterity's sake: I wash with just water in the morning, pat dry, and apply a pump to a pump and a half of the moisturizer to my face and neck. Skin does not feel tight with an adequate amount of moisturizer! In the evening, I use the facial cleanser, my Alba Hibiscus toner, and finish with the moisturizer.)

>>6393250
Another review from amazon: I was looking for a daily moisturizer, something with a low sheen or matte-like tone. I was dead wrong with this. This leaves your face greasy, shiny, and worse, sticky.

I'm scared to try this now, I bought two bottles, I might return it tomorrow...

>>6393265
>I'm scared to try this now, I bought two bottles, I might return it tomorrow...

Cetaphil isn't actually any good for your skin. If anything, it's bad for you.

To look young and beautiful, you don't need to be putting chemicals on your skin. You need to make your skin healthy, so you look better and, yes, younger and more radiant and junk. Here is your new skincare routine:

Daily: Cleanse, then tone, then moisturize. Exfoliate 1x weekly after this routine.

Cleanser: Oatmeal cleanser

They probably already had a greasy face, though.
Just try one and if you don't like it you can return the other and idk, sell that one.

>>6393298
I already made that thread, but it's over 300 posts, so it's at it's bump limit.

>>6393298
Thank you. Tomorrow I'm going to return the two bottles, I really don't like putting chemicals on my face. I want a more natty (natural) facial cleanser.

I don't believe in beauty in a bottle anymore.

Well, time to return this shit tomorrow.

>>6393318

I see. I'm gonna give a go at gathering some of the info in it and organizing it into a guide, then.

Skin care general thread?

I do what I can to take of my skin, but as of late, it's been nothing but irrtated, dry, blotchy, and my forehead is breaking out like crazy. This didn't start until about 2 weeks ago, either...

I've been using Aveeno line of products for the last couple years, to help with uneven/blotchy and oily skin. It only seems to be helping with the blackheads on my nose at this point. Is it time to switch product brands or...?

>>6393317
>I don't believe in beauty in a bottle anymore.

Awesome, good for you! Have you heard of the no shampoo (no 'poo) method?

>>6393298
>>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e5_RVBwNjE

The more I watch this video, the more I'm mad about using harsh chemicals on my face. So I'm going to go all natural.

Try oatmeals oatmeal cleanser, followed by apple cider vinegar for toner, followed by olive oil for moisturizer.

>>6393329
>Awesome, good for you! Have you heard of the no shampoo (no 'poo) method?

No I haven't, please tell me about it.

>>6393336

Anything with ingredients you can't readily identify doesn't need to go on your skin or hair. Especially not anything 3 words long where the first letters are S/L/S.

But with all the research I'm doing on natural skin and hair care, I wonder, is there a natural alternative to makeup? Something basic like foundation?

I recommend coconut oil as a face moisturizer (organic, extra virgin).

>>6393358
>I recommend coconut oil as a face moisturizer (organic, extra virgin).

Am I suppose to wash it off when I apply it?

>>6393354
Right now I'm shampooing once a week, using baking soda to shampoo, apple cider vinegar to condition. Works out good!

>>6393336
I use Tea Tree water as my toner and jojoba oil as my facial moisturizer, and have never been happier with how my face feels. I'd recommend those as well.

>>6393349

Basically shampoo is a detergent, it strips the dirt AND oils from your hair, which is bad because your hair produces more oil to overcompensate. That's why some people have to rotate different brands of shampoo often or their hair gets greasy, sometimes right out of the shower.

Here's a good guide, it even tells you what to do if you have hard water: http://www.how-to-boost-your-immune-system.com/baking-soda-shampoo.html

Personally I prefer to just use bottled water to having to boil all the water I mix up (I make a half gallon at a time of both), it's just easier. And yes, with hard water you have to boil the water for the vinegar mix, too.

Vinegar rinse: http://www.how-to-boost-your-immune-system.com/vinegar-hair-rinse.html

If your hair is still oily and has a rubbery weird texture, you're using too much vinegar. You can use apple cider vinegar OR regular white vinegar, I use the latter and it works just fine.

Keep in mind there is an "adjustment period", you can read more about this with a simple google search (don't want my post too be too long).

Other haircare tricks:
>tea tree oil
great for your scalp, as well as keeping you hair healthy, its anti bacterial and anti fungal. its not great for air loss though

>rosemary
it stimulates circulation as well as destroys bacteria that could be clogging your follicles, considered the "best natural method" for dealing with hair loss

>lavender
also anti fungal and stimulates hair growth

> coriander
anti fungal, treats hair loss, smells really really good.

>Personally I prefer to just use bottled water to having to boil all the water I mix up (I make a half gallon at a time of both), it's just easier. And yes, with hard water you have to boil the water for the vinegar mix, too.

Interesting! But why do I need to boil the water?

>>6393298

>Step 1:
Mix 2 teaspoons of baking soda and 1 teaspoon of warm water in a small bowl. Use a clean finger to stir the ingredients until a soft paste forms.

>Step 2:
Splash your face thoroughly with warm water. Dip your fingers into the baking soda paste. Apply the paste to your wet face using a gentle circular motion. Cover your entire face with the paste.

>Step 3:
Rinse your face thoroughly with warm water, splashing the water over the skin repeatedly until your face rinses clean. Pat your face dry with a clean towel.

>>6393380

1tbsp. lemon juice
1cup cold water

>Step 1: Mix together the lemon juice and water.
>Step 2: Saturate a cotton ball with the solution and apply to your face.

You can use straight lemon juice if you have very oily skin, as long as you moisturize after. If the acidity of just lemon juice irritates your skin, water it down.

I always break out right before con. My skin is generally clear and even toned, but inevitably a day or two before con a couple pimples will just emerge on my face. I've been told its from stress, but does anyone know any way to avoid this or a quick fix?

>>6393381
>Interesting! But why do I need to boil the water?

Because hard water has more minerals and impurities in it than "pure" soft water. These minerals and such make very difficult for the baking soda to dissolve which would make the mixture ineffective and leave your hair very greasy.

>>6393384

Uncoated aspirin crushed into a powder and mixed with water into a paste. Apply to pimple and let dry. It'll make quick work of it.
Don't do it much more than once a week, though, it can dry out your skin and even irritate sensitive skin.

>>6393384
I always break out before cons as well, stress is a killer for me. I've taken to making huge batches of green and black tea with loads of antioxidants and sticking to a vegan diet the week before. It worked for the last con, but I don't know how effective it really is, or if I was just lucky.

Just a tip :

Tea bags are known to be good for puffy eyes/dark circles but I also tend to use it all over my face or more precisely on problem areas like pimples or redness and unless I'm going crazy, I find it really helpful to reduce the size of a pimple and the redness that comes with it (or just redness in general).

I have oily/mixed skin and it also takes the oil away and leaves a matte finish to my skin without drying it out...which might just be the result of the tea bag being soaked in water, but anyway...it works.

:)

>>6393387

Bubz said it better than I, so havea link an some copy/paste: http://www.bubzbeauty.com/bubbi-likes/126-oatmeal-cleanser.html

>All you need is oatmeal. That's it! It doesn't matter what brand it is, as long as it is oatmeal. Plain, instant or quick cooking oatmeal? Doesn't matter because either works great. Simplicity is awesome isn't it?

How to cleanse your face with oatmeal
>I take a palm full of oatmeal and I clench my fingers together into a fist. I then run my fist in lukewarm water for about 10 seconds and the water should seep through the gaps in my fingers and soak up the oatmeal. I then open up my fist and drip several drops of water into the oatmeal so it comes saturated and soft. I would then spend about 1 minute massaging the oatmeal on my face. Just a little note, it can be messy so make sure you lean over the sink so the excess oatmeal will fall into the sink and not into your clothes. I rinse the oatmeal off using lukewarm water and pat my face dry.

>>6393391
Oil Cleansing Method gets a bad rep for causing cynstic acne - what do you think about that?

People using extra olive oil + castor oil, I'm thinking of removing castor oil because that maybe the main cause of cynstic acne.

>>6393364
No, as a moisturizer, you just leave it on. Apply it in thin layers and wait for each to 'soak in' to your skin. I hear putting a lot on at once makes it harder for your skin to absorb.

You'll look shiny as fuck, so only put on a little if you're going out, and more if you're just going to be lying around the house.

You can also just google 'coconut oil moisturizer' and get a ton of results and instructions for use.

>>6393409

Don't use castor oil on your skin. A small amount of EVOO is okay, put some on your fingertips and massage your dry spots with it gently. You can use it every day, it's very gentle.

>>6393417
>massage your dry spots with it gently

That should be "massage your faec and dry spots", not just dry spots. My bad.

>>6393411
>Plain, instant or quick cooking oatmeal?
Actually, you don't want an oatmeal that has sugar all up in it like the instant stuff that is flavored.
Sugar is food for bacteria. You don't want to rub that all over your face.

Otherwise, that advice is solid.

>>6393411
On the oatmeal beauty note, I find that pulverizing the dried oatmeal in a coffee grinder to a powder makes it so much easier to work with.

Thanks for sharing the tips. I really hate spending money on all these beauty supplies, and then finding out later that there are BETTER and CHEAPER solutions using home remedies.

I don't like wasting money. And I HATE slathering harmful chemicals on my skin. I also not a fan of shoppings, so here is what I'm going to stock up on for natural home beauty:

- baking soda
- apple vinegar cider
- extra virgin olive oil
- oat meals

THANKS SO MUCH! Now I just saved thousands of dollars over the years.

>>6393428

There are also significant benefits from raw organic honey masks.

Honey is a natural antibacterial and anti-infammatory. It absorbs impurities from the pores and the skin. Ancient beauties used honey and milk on their skin regularly to keep their complexion looking young, radiant and smooth. You can use honey as a wash, toner or mask. And you can mix it with so many other ingredients depending on your needs (apples, pumpkin, papaya. yogurt). It’s quite versatile.

Lemon brightens and exfoliates. It’s great for acne prone skin, age and sun spots or uneven skin tone. It is also a natural source of vitamin C and rich in alpha hydroxy acids.

Lime juice adds some collagen boosting vitamin C, some exfoliating alpha hydroxy acids, and some great natural astringent action. Being very acidic, fresh lime juice is great for tightening and toning the skin.

Lavender calms and normalizes, and like all essential oils it is anti-bacterial.

>Here’s how to make the DIY Honey/ Lemon Mask:
Squeeze 1/2 a lemon (organic is always better) into a bowl, add 2 tbsp of honey (0rganic, raw, natural ). Mix it with a spoon until it’s a liquid consistency.
Apply it all over a clean face avoiding eye area.
Leave on for 15-20 min and rinse off.

>>6393428

If you wanna have a little more fun with it. you can get some cool looking glass bottles from Michael's or off Etsy to put your ingredients in. I dunno, I think it would make your daily routine more fun and interesting.

Before I start, I realize my skin type is different from anyone else's so I am not saying to do this. But I am saying it worked for me. It may or may not work for you.

The type of acne washes I'e used has changed over the years, but the one thing I've been using since 2008 is Oxy Spot Treatment.

It's like gold in a bottle for me.
>What type of skin tone do you have?
Typically my nose is the most oily spot, and my cheeks and chin are dry. I do have a slight eczema rash on my right cheek though.
>Whats your average skin care routine?

Take a shower
Use either Cetaphil or Clean and Clear sensitive acne wash
Pat dry
Use oxy spot treatment all over nose, around mouse and chin.
Use eczema cream on rash
Done
Thats all I do, and have been doing for a couple of years.

I am not saying this will work for everyone.. If anything I'm typical lucky for having the type of skin I have.
Every now and then I will get an annoying pimple/white head that will take awhile to get rid of though.

But I absolutely love Oxy spot treatment~
If you plan on using it, READ THIS.
I have super sensitive skin, and when I first started using this product it made me break out in rashes. So I'd always put some type of moisturize over top of it afterwards. But over the years my skin has grown used to it, so I no longer do that process.
I also realize this probably has a lot of chemicals in it though..

I do enjoy reading homemade remedies on skin care though. I went through my phase of oatmeal and honey.

Wait so how do I find a natural sunscreen?
I hate the sun. I don't want any of it
But I am afraid of chemicals on my face.

>>6393466
Good natural sunscreens:

UV natural
Mexitan Tropical Sands

>>6393466

Parasols and sunhats are always an option, but as far as what sunscreen to use, I dunno. I was using Neutrogena Ultra Sheer and before that, Neutrogena Oil-free moisture with SPF 15.

BUT I stand by my "If it has ingredients you can't readily identify, it doesn't need to be on your face" thing though.

I haven't done that much research on making your own sunscreen or if that's a good idea or not, but I'm definitely gonna look into it more now that it's been brought up.

But the good news is you're not gonna get cancer from regular sun exposure, it's actually good for you All this "sunscreen to prevent skin cancer" is mostly preventative hype. And actually, sunscreen itself presents a risk of cancer depending on it's ingredients, which can sometimes be carcinogens. Vitamin D (which you get from the sun) deficiencies are also linked to cancer.

If you're really worried about it, then avoid the hottest, brightest time of the day and hang out in the shade as much as possible.

I have a question - I've lived in Florida my whole life and I'm about to move to Maryland. I've never been in a place that had below-freezing temperatures for longer than a 2 week vacation and I'm expecting the cold weather to do all kinds of nasty shit to my skin and hair. Does anyone have any basic tips for keeping your skin nice and your hair from being a flat mess full of static electricity? Any products I should buy? I'm really clueless about this...

>>6393549

I live in Florida and I've never seen snow, so I can't really help much, but rubbing dryer sheets on your hair absorbs static electricity.

>>6393549
>>6393573
I lived in Pennsylvania, and we get all 4 seasons.
Usually for the Winter I would use Malibu Tan Hemp Lotion..
Yeah I know, odd but it makes me skin feel really good.

As well for the hair problem, I use Sebastian's Drench line. It can be a tad expensive, but definitely worth every dollar.

>>6393466
Do what the koreans do: wear a big hat and big sunglasses.

>>6393668
So I just had a bath, washed my face, then used oatmeal (not instant) and it felt great on my face! I down it down dry, then used apple cider vinegar to tone. Followed by extra virgin oil olive to moisturize.

Feels good man.

>>6393679
Only do the oil thing once per few weeks/month
Otherwise you're going to see great results for a little while, then it's going to clog your pores up with gunk inside and give you horrible acne.

>>6393695
I heard that only castor oil cause acne, while olive oil is fine?

>>6393695
But I'm not using castor oil!

I need foot help. I try to take care of my feet but I hate them, they're terrible!

I have really dry, cracked heels and I moisturize and use a pumice whenever possible but I always have dead skin and like an imprint of where I walk, the skin is just so dry, I guess. I would kill for soft soles. What do?

>>6393732
The cold cement sidewalk is causing your feet to crack. Try wearing insoles.

>>6393732

What kind of shoes/socks do you usually wear? Do you go barefoot a lot?

>>6393751
>>6393755
I've been wearing my old chuck taylor's and ballet flats almost exclusively. Would good shoes really help?

>>6393810
Yes

>>6393810

Exponentially. You need good soles, that cracking on your feet comes from wearing flat things that don't help you at all. Hell, you could even put some nice insoles in your chucks and that would help. But seriously, get better shoes with better soles. Nothing flat.

>>6393732
Coat with a thick layer of Felxitol Heel Balm (or any really good moisturizer specifically made for cracked feet) and cover with a pair of socks before sleeping at night. Do so until soft heels are achieved.

>>6393816
>>6393827
I'll do both these things. I need good new winter shoes anyway.

>>6393838
I'll get some, thanks!

>>6393336
I went all natural a couple of months ago. Shit's fucking awesome, I save so much money. My only moisturizer for everything is coconut oil. I use tea tree, rosemary, and other essential oils when needed. Skin and hair is softer than ever before. Now transitioning to an all natural diet aswell.

Remember: if you wouldn't eat it, dont put it on your face.

>>6393465
You have beautiful skin. Jelly.

>>6393890
When you use coconut oil on your face does it cause acne or cystic acne? Also do you leave it on or wash it off.

I know you guys are talking about natural beauty cleansers and are actually against harsh chemicals, but I've been using Murad's Exfoliating Cleanser with AHA/BHA. Before I used it, I had really terrible redness. But after using it for a while, it's seriously all cleared up. The bottle is pricey, but if you use it sparingly and not every day, it really lasts. I've had mine since April and I'm only about halfway through it.

Also, Philosophy's Purity is really nice, too. I picked it up at Costco for dirt cheap a while ago, works nicely.

What moisturizers do you guys use? I'm currently using a MAC moisturizer, but I feel like it kinda just... sits on my skin. And it doesn't have a pump so I have to use my fingers, which makes it all full of bacteria. Don't think I'm going to repurchase...

My routine is I wake up and wash down a Dianette pill with water.

Dianette is an adrogen blocking birth control, so long story short it reduces grease production and causes you to stop producing as much body hair. I've noticed my hair has been looking better as of late and my nail grow extremely fast which is kind of weird and annoying because I have to keep cutting them so I can sculpt.

But yeah, my skin is like.... glowing since I started taking this shit. Without it I'm covered in sores and acne.

>>6394406

do you have like any before and after pictures? I've heard you mention this before and I might consider switching BC if it's that good, though I think it has a different name in the US. do you have a picture of your skin now?

>>6393298
I used to do this. It was nice, and worked well....until it clogged my drain.

>>6394418

I actually don't have many pictures of my skin when it was really bad for obvious reasons. I didn't like getting photographed so all the really bad ones I had taken down because I was so embarrassed about the sores.

Here's my skin of right now. The picture is kind of overblown even though I closed the curtains, but it really has improved a great deal. My skin before was... imagine cracking dry patches, weeping sores greasy nose and forehead, just really bad. Spots and blackheads everywhere.

Obviously if you decide to switch to Dianette consult your doctor first and be sure you don't have a family history of heart problems or clotting. Funnily enough if you have a family history of cervical and womb cancer it heavily reduces the risk so that's another plus.

>>6393423
This this this.
I have some oatmeal "flour" (it's probably just what you said, grinded oatmeal) and when it mixes up with water it makes a paste that is a thousand times easier to use.

>>6394406
Will this reduce pubic sideburns? You know that inner thigh hair? I'm so ashamed of it and I'm sick of waxing it so much.

>>6394431

Do you pencil in your eyebrows?

>>6394435

I can't say for sure whether it targets specific ares or all over body hair.

>Dianette pill is used for the treatment of:

>Acne
>Scalp Hair Loss (androgenetic alopecia)
>Excessive Body and Facial Hair (hirsutism)

>Dianette contains two active ingredients, cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol. It also works as a contraceptive.

So I guess it's all over. There's a handy little website here with 674 personal reviews from women taking it so you should have a read through.

http://www.acne.org/dianette-reviews/130/page1.html

I've never had issues with excessive hair before but I have actually noticed that the hair on my legs and arms have become more sparse, although on the flip side I have developed like, 3 random black boob hairs on each breast but I think everybody gets them so I'm not worried.

>>6394437

Nope, they're just dyed black.

>>6394435

How do I go about obtaining this miracle pill?

>>6393376
>>6393376
I think it's super weird that you're using bottled water to wash your hair but advocating for natural health and beauty remedies. Fuck, the irony

>>6394454
Well it looks like it is banned in the US. Are there any other similar birth control pills that do the same thing?

>start new birth control pill
>acne so bad my face hurts and I can't leave the house within first 10 days

Well fuck

>>6394933
have you talked to your doctor about it? i had perfectly clear skin before BC, but for the first 2 months, i had 1-3 zits at any given time. it cleared up after, and now my skin is fine. but if your face hurts because of horrible acne, the brand might now be for you?

>>6394940
This isn't a couple of zits. I mean I actually won't leave the house because of how bad it is. And they're so big they hurt. My chin and cheeks are totally covered. I called the doctor and I stopped taking the pills. I've only been off the pills for 2 days, though.

>tfw 18 and I have smile lines, lines under eyes (no bags) and lines between eyebrows

Would the oatmeal help?

>>6394943
wow, that's horrible. good luck recovering. i hope you find a pill with lower amounts of hormones if that is the problem.

>>6394944
No. I mean, you could try, but I have a feeling it won't do much. You need to go get some serums and shit.

>>6394951
...which probably won't work.
I'll just have to save up to go under the knife won't I? Just because of PMLE/my skin can't deal with sunlight =_='

>>6394957
for the laugh lines and lines between the eyebrows, you'll most likely have to get filler injections. they only last like 6 months or so, though. i've had really bad laugh lines since i was in middle school -- it's just the shape of my face, really. feelsbadman.

>>6393549
I moved to Ohio from Florida and I never needed to change anything. Then again, I avoid being outside as much as possible when it's cold.

I've never had dry skin issues, though, because after I shower I apply baby oil lightly all over my body and pat dry. Perfectly smooth skin ever since I started this 5 years ago.

>>6394209
Compared to olive oil, I found that coconut oil was less acne inducing. I don't cleanse with it, just mix it with a drop of tea tree oil and use it as a moisturizer. The tea tree has a strong odor so I skip it sometimes, but always use it before bedtime. So, overall I think it is alright and wont give you cystic acne if you simply use it as a moisturizer and cleanse thoroughly.

I tried the OCM before, yes it does give you soft skin, but like others mentioned, I inevitably reached the stage where I started breaking out terribly.

>>6393407
This. I have a cup of green tea every morning, and before I toss the bag I pat it on my eyes and all over my face. It reduces puffiness in my eyes, but it also just feels great.

>>6394960
That sucks man. It's like in the past year my face has lost a lot of fat (not that the rest of my body has), and my cheeks are kinda saggy which doesn't help with lines.
>tfw growing nasolabial fold and jowls

This thread is one of the reasons that I just love this board.

I've switched to almost completely using Lush products and my skin/hairs looks amazingggggg. My skin is super pale and any little thing used to make it red and blotchy. "Angels on Bare Skin" and "Honey I Washed the Kids" are lifesavers. I also live their Trichtomania shampoo bar. I don't even need to condition my hair anymore!

Mine don't look too bad yet, but whenever I try to wash/do anything my face they squish up into my eyes (helping with the under-eye lines, not!) and around my nose (also not helping with smile lines).
We should just delude ourselves into thinking this is some evolutionary advantage.

>>6393890
>I went all natural a couple of months ago. Shit's fucking awesome, Now transitioning to an all natural diet aswell.

Pretty amazing how positive habit changes your life, and then it effects other area of your life

>>6393244
What the hell OP

>>6395004
MY NIGGA.

I've started using Lush stuff very recently too. I've been pretty spotty all year (not just spotty - the skin underneath would be pink too) but after buying their 9-5 cleanser and rose water toner I've noticed a massive improvement! Not only have the spots decreased massively, but the pink areas are also gone! I've just a few spots now, but I'll give it another month and I imagine they'll be gone!

Thinking of getting one of their moisturisers now. Has anyone tried their Skin Drink?

>>6395524
you use that... without a cleanser? like with just water? how is that working out for you? how do you take off makeup?

>>6395543
Don't recommend it taking off the makeup because it dirties the brush. I just use water. Check out the reviews on amazon and see for yourself.

>>6395548
haha, that's alright. i will stick with my clarisonic. i have seen this thing IRL and they don't even compare.

i just find it very odd you use it without a cleanser. you're supposed to use them together. like- they even make a cleaner that goes with it.
>http://www.olay.com/skin-care-products/OlayPro-X/exfoliating-facial-cleanser?pid=075609031939

speaking of dirty brushes though, i should get a new one for mine. or at least like put it through the dish washer. it's starting to be yellow tinged from getting the rest of my makeup off. it's crazy how much makeup is left on your face even after you use a makeup remover wipe and a makeup removing wash. like- it's actually quite gross.

>>6395558
>i just find it very odd you use it without a cleanser. you're supposed to use them together. like- they even make a cleaner that goes with it.

Yeah but I think that's just a marketing hype for Olay to make more money. I use water, it's perfectly fine, followed by coconut oil to moist my face.

>>6395526
No, I don't go that far for beauty. Also I was was just finished cleaning out the bath tub, doing black head cleaning so I put the honey lemon and milk thing on my face.
Well, I guess it dried and when my boyfriend came back we were goofing off on the couch just now so, he licked my face and omg the fucking face he made!

>>6395570
>Yeah but I think that's just a marketing hype for Olay to make more money
no.
do you know how soaps work? like, you'll never clean as much just rubbing something than using a soap. in fact, you're not hardly cleaning at all. water and oil do not mix, water alone cannot remove oil.

what soaps do are they have a hydrophilic and lypophilic (not even going to pretend like those are spelled correctly) head, basically it means one attracts water, one oil. when you wash it creates a "push-pull" motion of the water and oil. and this removes them, while also rolling up dirt stuff into little balls so when you rinse it goes away.
this doesn't happen without soap. you're not removing excess oils from your skin with just water alone. if you don't have excess oils, AKA normal to dry skin this is fine. but if you have combination or normal to oily or oily skin this will not work.

if it works for you that's great, a few people i've dated are like this. where they are fine with just water and a basic moisturizer and have perfect skin- but it's not good to advertise this as a proper cleaning regimen. because for most people it wont be.

>>6395584
Did you guys have sex yet

>>6393265

as a person with atopic dermatitis, i use cetaphil restoraderm body lotion as part of a medical treatment. i wouldn't use it if you have normal to dry skin. cetaphil is designed for skins which have lost its natural grease barrier. also, blah blah dangerous chemicals and shit.

So fiesty.

Anyone have any natural tips for really really dry, flaky lips?

I hate what winter does to me ;A;

>>6396031
to exfoliate/remove dead skin
brush your lips with a soft tooth brush and warm water
mix honey and sugar and rub it all over your lips

and to keep them from getting dry again while not obviously wearing ointment on your lips you can make your own lip tint by melting A&D ointment + any lipstick of your choice and pouring that mixture into any old little container.
i hear most people do this with Vaseline but i prefer A&D ointment. it's more... soft, and healing. so if you do have a chapped lip already it will actually help heal it.
i also wear plain A&D ointment almost every night, and put it on while i'm doing my face makeup. so basically it's like
>wash face
>brush lips with tooth brush
>put foundation primer on
>put A&D ointment on face
>do face and eye makeup
>pat off excess ointment and do lip makeup

hope this helps!

>>6396031
>>6396069
oh and melt it on a spoon. drug addict style.

here's a video that shows a way to do it
plus Tried and Tested is something everyone should watch
http://www.clicknetwork.tv/watch.aspx?c=3&p=31&v=845

>>6396069

Dummy here, what's A&D?

>>6396108
A&D ointment is one of the most highly recommended ointments for post-tattoo care. but it's basically just a... rash and dry skin ointment.
it's just really-really-really moisturizing but not in a lotiony rub in and then it's gone way. it's more a a this isn't going to dry out or sink in fully but instead lock in moisture over whatever you put it on way.

i know a lot of people buy it specifically to make lip balms, or to use it on it's own only on the lips. it does basically look like a lip gloss when you put it on.

>>6396108
It's a brand name. You can usually find it by the diapers.

>>6396137

OP here, I just went to the store today to refund >>6393250 because I heard on Amazon it's dangerous chemicals that burns the skin, instead I bought this (picture)

I asked the clerk stocking girl what she uses and she recommends this, at $20. I thought it's over price as fuck (I'm a guy okay) for a tiny bottle, and was about to put it back on the shelve.

But I thought what the heck, and bought it. I am nothing but amazed by it.

>>6396276
Some reviews of this product:

I don't know how it took me so long before discovering this gem. I guess my first experience with vitamin E oil wasn't so great as as a teenager with an oily complexion it just felt at the time too thick and sticky. Now i'm my mid-thirties, I can appreciate the thickness and hydration level as my skin is now dry. It gives me a smooth and well hydrated face skin and I also apply it on my hands at bedtime and put on surgical gloves (I know it sounds crazy but it works and I'm not smearing vitamin e oil all over my sheets and pillow) and I wake up with baby soft hands. My dry peeling cuticle problem is long gone.

And:

I just bought this oil a couple of days back and I am loving it already. I have oily skin, moderate acne, and acne scarring. I think it is making my scars lighter, just been 3 days though, can't wait to see the progress. I have white pimples and when I put vitamin e on my acne it subsides by the next morning. I usually wear it after a shower before going to bed. My skin hasn't broken out and my skin feels soft and radiant. Yes, the product is sticky and worth it if it does the trick. So far LOVING IT! Will update on progress.

>>6396276
I'm going to get soft, average korean skin with this product soon.

With that said, I'm going to buy coconut oil sometimes in the future and see how that goes.

I'm not sure if you replied to me out not, but off topic question.

How did you make your extensions wavy in this video?
http://youtu.be/jG3zxTlqwyI

;A; thank you!

>>6396433
it's fine to use rags, wash clothes, those rubber pads with little like thingys on them. just don't "scrub" your face with them.

all of those things can promote blood flow, which promotes skin cell turn over, which promotes new skin growth, which promotes healthy skin.

but when you scrub you are damaging the skin on a microscopic level, creating micro-tears that allow bacteria to get inside your skin. this can lead to acne, clogged pores, aging, wrinkles, redness, irritation, it's just bad for your skin.

when using anything, any sort of cloth, pad, rubber face brush, bristle face brush, electric face brush (like the ProX or Clairisonic) or whatever, you should have a "limp wrist". basically meaning if your face wasn't in the way of the whatever is in your hand your hand would just fall down because your wrist is limp. don't apply any pressure with your hand, don't push the brush (or whatever) into your face. let the texture of the whatever do the work, you don't do any more work than gentle massaging the cleanser on your face.

>>6396437
>the one where you follow a strict skin care regime and don't eat any shitty fast food.

the way i get my hair wavy like that is i curl it, like just normal curl it with a flat iron (i am not good at curling with a curling iron)
and then brush the curls while they're still warm. and then if they still need to be more wavy i will use Smoothing Stuff by Bed Head which is like a lotion for your hair which makes it heavier so it gets even looser.

>>6396455

>>6396490
This isn't a court of law.

This might sound counter-intuitive, but try not washing your face more than once a day if you are having unsolvable skin problems. Often we dry out skin out and remove the essential oils.

Wash at night with cleanser, apply cream, put your hair back, and put a new towel or tshirt over your pillow to keep your skin clean. Then, in the morning, either wash with water only, or just apply cream again without any washing.

Also keep makeup use minimal.

>>6396496

>>6396536
For anyone interested, that is Eunjung from T-Ara, not Anon's image.

>>6396521
this is a good thing to try if like- NOTHING YOU'RE DOING IS WORKING
even i do it from time to time, and i am religious about moisturizing after i wash. but sometimes like- you need to just not for a few days. especially like if you have bad acne and it gets to a point where your skin is dried out but still acne but no amount of exfoliating is getting the dry patches gone.
you've got a ~chemical burn~

if this happens use a very gentle cleanser once a day, made for normal skin- not oily skin, and use a toner for normal skin and a moisturizer for dry skin over the dry patch and your normal moisturizer everywhere else.
and at night put A&D ointment on the dry patch.

and try to not wear makeup if you can until it goes away.

My skin would do really well on breaks from school, because I would just sit at home with no makeup, washing my face like once every 1.5 days, lol.

My pimples would clear up! Then, back to school, back to makeup, back to washing regularly, and bam, bad skin.

I think we put our skin through too much. It really needs a break every now and then!

>>6396536
Really? Because that looks Eunjung to me.

this is a treatment that did wonders for my dry, flaky winter skin:

Mayonnaise-Baby Oil Dry Skin Treatment
Makes 1 application

2 tablespoons real mayonnaise
1 teaspoon baby oil

> Combine both ingredients.
> Smooth onto face, neck, rough elbows and knees or anywhere else you feel might benefit from it.
> Leave for 20 minutes.
> Rinse off thoroughly with tepid water.

It's the best foundation prep I've ever done. (If you don't mind your face smelling like mayo for a while)

I have a question though: I have a lot of scarring on my face. I've tried a chemical peel on my hand once, and while dead skin did come off easily, it stung and my skin was raw afterwards. I'd rather not do that to my face so what would be an alternative that delivers similar results?

I've heard jojoba oil is a good facial scrub, would that help with scarring?

>>6396578
T-that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

I swear it's not. Since you wash it off, there is little chance of it clogging your pores. the mineral oil is added to make the application easier.

From the wikipedia page of "Egg oil" (derived from egg yolks)

>It can be used as an excipient/carrier in a variety of cosmetic preparations such as creams, ointments, sun-screen products or lotions where it acts as an emollient, moisturizer, anti-oxidant, penetration enhancer, occlusive skin conditioner and anti-bacterial agent

>>6396628
Hmmm interesting! Well, thanks. I'll have to try it.

It's just so... greasy. I would be worried.

ALSO, along those lines, OLIVE OIL. I use it as a makeup remover. It's organic, softens your skin, does wonders for it, and removes all makeup EVER.

I have good skin but I don't use any makeup and I use the same lotion on my face that I use on my hands. What should I be doing to maintain myself? I'm worried I'll fuck my face up if I start using stuff because my skin is already okay but I don't want to just put off upkeep until I'm really showing age and shit.

It always amazes me how much Koreans care about those rocks in the ocean, while the average Japanese person wouldn't even know what they're talking about let alone have an opinion on it.

Every month when I get PMS, I get horrible flare-ups of acne, especially these huge painful ones on my neck. For the rest of the month, my skin is relatively normal, albeit a bit sensitive, and I don't need to do much to maintain it.

I've tried going on hormonal birth control, but it gave me nasty migraines and made me loopy. Medicated topical products aren't the best because once the hormonal insanity stops, they lead to insanely dry and irritated skin.

I'm the one who suggested the Salux beauty cloth a few threads back and am glad to see others have used it!

Mine last longer than 3-4 months, but I decide to get a new one just for the sake of having a new one. You don't need to wash them, which is nice. You just rinse it with water and hang it up.
I have KP myself and have found it does help. I even had it on my breasts and those have finally gone away. My KP is horrendous on my forearms, so those haven't gone away, but they have faded a bit.

I really do NOT recommend using it on your face though. It is far too rough, but it's good for foaming up some facial cleansers!

I highly recommend getting one though. They're cheap, but are so nice. They're long enough to use as a back scrubber and replace exfoliating body soaps. They feel so hnnggh

Not the anon you're answering to, but you get on my nerves already.
The average Korean doesn't get surgery.
Yes, there are a lot of them who get it, but it is still not the majority of them, just a minority, so not 'average'.
According to the most recent studies in which SK came out on top of the world regarding numbers of plastic surgery for country, there were 15 plastic surgeries for every 1000 inhabitants of South Korea.
So that's roughly about 0.015% of the population that look like the pictures that you post as 'average'. 0.015% is a very small minority, definitely not a majority. A majority would constitute as average.
For example, the average inhabitant of New Castle is British, because over 80% of the population of New Castle is British.
Now, included in that population, there may be around 0.03% jamaicans in New Castle. Does that mean that just because it is nothing out of the ordinary to see a jamaican in the streets of New Castle, then we can just go out of our way and say that the average person in New Castle is jamaican? Of course not. But according to your way of thinking, it is.
LRN2demographics and go to /fit/ with these annoying threads, where this junk is worshiped.
And yes, I mad.

>>6398129
she has that unique, exotic and cute asian look going on about her, unlike your fake tryhard wannnabe caucasian trash
oh, and koreans and chinese look the same because they have the same ancestors

>>6398157
You sound like a booty blasted Korean who can't afford plastic surgery.

>>6398157
tl;dr

>>6398157
That is 1.5% of the population and it is kind of a big number.

>>6398194
>>6398194
Forgot to add: LRN2percentage

>6398185
Nice ad hominem going there.
>>6398194
Ugh, you're right.
Still, the percentage is still not large enought to be considered average.
Average usually means 50% or more.

>>6398157
That is 1.5% of the population that had plastic surgery, not 0.015%.
LRN2percentage

>>6398212
I'm the one that said that it is 1.5% of the population. Btw, sorry, I sent the post 3 times and deleted them all because they were kinda rude. Sorry 'bout that. But 1.5% is still high-ish.

>>6398163
>oh, and koreans and chinese look the same because they have the same ancestors

True but because of thousands of years inbreeding, Koreans look slightly different then Chinese. They tend to have a wider face.

>>6398381
Which they literally shave off through surgery because they want to remove every single ounce of national identity from themselves and try to look have beautiful jaws/eyes like the Caucasians do.

>>6398437
You don't say! Shaved jaw and chin implant is very common in Korea.

>>6396276
You are quite faggoty for being a guy.

I think I bought mine based on your recommendation. Seconding this, I love mine.

So beautiful but so artificial. Wonder what happens when you have kids with such a girl.

>tfw too poor to go to korean to get surgery

I"m watching my youth fade away

>>6401028
That's what Dakota wishes she looked like.

>>6401028
>dem eyebags

>>6401028
...
do her eyebags look really unnatural to anyone else? like, drawn on. they don't look like normal shadows.

>>6401059
It's actually really popular in Korea. It's called aegyo sal and supposedly makes you look more youthful. I think you can get surgery to have them put in.

>>6401062
she's definitely got make up on to emphasize them so maybe that's what's making them look more cartoon-ish?

>>6401059
>>6401062
It's probably surgery enchanced with makeup. It's called a "love band" or "youthlites" procedure.

>>6401066

And I wasted tons of money trying to get rid of mine...

>>6401082
To be honest it really only looks good on asians. On others, it usually just looks like you're very tired.

>I want this done so bad.

>>6401077
but hers look totally 2D. like just dawn on with makeup, no actual eyebag.
maybe it's all the photoshop.

>>6401082
It's really not eye bags but "eye fat", like a little puffy under the eye but it seems to be much less droopy and a lot... shorter than what we actually consider "eyebags".

>>6401037
...That's what that girl wishes she looked like, too.

>>6401136
Also not as dark as eyebags.

>>6401115
It's possible, I've achieved similar with makeup. I'd need a sideshot to be sure.

>>6401147
Haha it's funny when you can't tell whether it's make up, photoshop, or plastic surgery.

What is this world coming to.
--Oops, I mean what is South Korea coming to

>>6396308
Is she real? Forever jelly.

>>6401173
Plastic surgery / photoshop.

You guys are retarded. How many times does that need to be said?

>>6401182
I still want her body/hair/face lol~

>>6401153
A beautiful, glamours world where our children will be ugly until their 18th year when they can have surgery as well.

>>6401188
The point is that you can get it.
Are you asian? Go to South Korea. They have plastic surgery offices and advertisements all over the place. Just research the amount of money, head over there, and get it all done.

Then photoshop every single one of your pictures.

Instant transformation.

>>6401199
I'm not asian and I don't have the kind of money to go to South Korea and have surgery ;_;
>mfw

look what just popped up on my dash
confirmed for drawn on/photoshop and not actual eyebags. wtf

>>6401244
She's attractive in the way a 12 year old girl would be attractive.

Which, to me, is not a good thing. She has no sex appeal. No 'oomph.' No real substance to her. Delicate prettiness, yes, but not someone I would call stunning or gorgeous. Not someone most men would find attractive, unless they were into pre-teen girls.

>>6401244
aegyo sal

>>6401244
>>6401077
>>6401062
Yeah, people definitely draw them on. My friend did them on me the other day with some makeup, although quite less extreme...

>>6401255
with how in depth you went with that you sound like you're trying to convince yourself you don't find her attractive. not explain why she's unattractive to you.

there is more to being attractive than sex appeal, a lot more.

>>6401271
it really doesn't work on non-asian eyes...

>>6401271
>>6401244

I have those eye things naturally and think it looks bad, if anything. I didn't think people would find them "desirable..."

>>6401287
Actually, looking at mine, I think a lot of Caucasians naturally have them.

>>6401280
yeah, for shame. Wish I could pull them off.
>>6401287
I bet they're pretty cute, it's just a matter of perspective!

>>6394379
Not sure what skin type you have, but I'll tell you what I use. My skin type: very dry but recently developed excess oil that sits on top of skin mostly on forehead and around nose. I have used Clinique moisture surge intense for a little less than a year and it's worked pretty well for me. A couple other moisturizers I sampled were very nice too: Korres wild rose and Shiseido night moisture recharge. Now that my skin has started changing over from severely dry to combination, I'm finding the Clinique to be a little too oily for me, though it is a gel type base and goes on quite light.

>>6395466
Not person who posted that pic, but they're essential oils. One is lavender, another is rosemary, and I can't quite make out the third but I think it says coriander?

>>6395739
She was replying to you saying, "I can see that." But don't worry, what she said made no sense anyway.
Recap:
"I don't care about the environment, I'm going to die young and kawaii so it won't affect me when the world is a pile of garbage ~"
"I can plainly see you don't care, ma'am."
"EXCUSE ME? I DON'T CARE? I RECYCLLLLEEE ~"
"But I thought you just said you didn't- ...nevermind."

It does make the person more youthful! It makes them look more babby.

Ew. Do they actually look like this IRL? I find some Asians attractive, but they look like monsters.

>>6401719
well, you learn something new every day.
it doesn't say anything about diaper rash usage on the tube, i'm looking at mine right now. it says it helps chapped, split, or cracked skin and lips. and protects against cold and dry weather.
that's odd.

>>6402529
>Ew. Do they actually look like this IRL? I find some Asians attractive, but they look like monsters.

Ewww, skinny girls are digusting! They got no curves! I hate Koreans, they look so plastic!

>>6402529
Higher res. That middle girl is freakishly cartoonish.

I love their legs.

Perfect natural beauty.

Does anyone know where I can find lipstick in a colour like this?

>>6402584
it looks like
Saint Germain or Snob
one of those two would be good.
both from MAC

Hey, anyone knows if night creams are worth their money? I am considering buying a night moisturizer, but I'm not sure if there is any actually difference/benefits between that and normal day moisturizer.

>>6402593
OMG. Thank you. I have been looking for something like this forever.

>>6402593
Pretty sure it's Saint Germain, I have Snob and it's a bit lighter than that.

>>6402597
no problem.
sorry i don't know any cheaper options, i just have really sensitive lips (dry out easily) so i stick to pretty much MAC only since i know they are moisturizing enough.

>>6402599
they're basically just heavier moisturizers that would look oily for day wear. if you have dry skin it's worth it, if you have normal skin right now, but older women in your family have dry skin than yeah, it's still good to look into.
just normal skin then it's up to you, you don't /need/ it but it wont hurt.

but if you have combination skin, or oily skin, no not really. your natural oils are more than enough.

>>6402603
Cool, thanks! :)

>>6402601
That's okay - I'm willing to spend lots if it's the right colour. I'm sick of buying shitty lipsticks.

>>6402612
I see, thank you.
I have very oily skin so I guess I'll just skip it then.

>>6402603
snob looks dark on me. i have really pigmented lips naturally though, so maybe that's just me.

>>6402610
that's why i started buying just MAC lip products, i was sick of my lipsticks always making my lips look so dry.
the one line from Revlon is actually quite nice, the lip butters.

>>6402620
well don't skip it, you should still moisturize. just a normal moisturizer.

also, if you have oily skin you should try and find a gel moisturizer if you don't have one already. you don't need the heaviness of a cream if you're already oily.

Spooky confirmed for most knowledgable skincare tripfag <3

>>6402683

How would using honey as a moisturizer work considering how sticky it is?

>>6402700

Oops, didn't meant to quote you, I was just using quick reply. Muh bad.

Koreans are god-tier transhumans. They have defy genetic limitations

and have ascend to the throne of the god. This is the average Korean.

What do you guys think about african black soap?
Is it ok or would oatmeal be better?

>What do you guys think about african black soap?

Oatmeal. Cheaper. More effective.

I just tried the grounded oatmeal (I used a coffee grinder) put my face. It feels amazing! Then I use my apple cider vinegar to tone my face, follow by a $20 moisturizer. feels good
