Can we have a general "body care" thread? Basically everything from skin care, hair care to even vaginal (or penis if we have any guys around) care.

I asked this earlier but didn't get a reply.
I have very translucent and pale skin, so any redness, veins or blotchiness shows up really obviously. Would getting a light tan even things out and give me a big of pigment to hide veins and etc? Or would it make no difference?

Also I'm 19 and I already have some spider veins on my lower/mid thighs... is there anything that causes this, or am I just fucked in terms of genetics? My mom has a ton of them but she's 60, so...

Gonna ask.

Stuff I use on my face is alcohol based.

/cgl/ flips the fuck out over that.

Why. I don't break out. I don't have acne. When I DO get a pimple I treat it with alcohol based products and it goes away.

>> No.6397405

>>6397403
Alcohol is a very harsh disinfectant that is a bit excessive for using on the sensitive skin of your face. It can also dry out or prematurely age your skin if used excessively.

If it works for you, good. But make sure to moisturize thoroughly if you use it regularly.

Have you ever tried salicylic acid?

I too have very thin skin. When I tan it helps a little, but not by much. It just makes my veins look greener, which also isn't attractive. My face is especially bad.

Salicylic acid is just another type of acne medication. Like alcohol it kills bacteria and more specifically the bacteria that causes pimples and acne.

Does your skin feel dry or flaky? Dry skin patches? If so, you either need to use less alcohol or buy some moisturizer. You can also buy moisturizer with salicylic acid in it if you have pretty harsh acne.

Excessive washing of your face or using alcohol to dry it out will cause your skin to produce more oil to compensate. Try cutting back (which I know is hard if you're sensitive to the feelings of oil on your face) and you should see a decrease in your natural oils because they won't be working so hard to moisturize your face.
Basically the dryer your face is, the more pure OIL your face will distribute.
Also drink lots of water etc.

>> No.6397421

>>6397416
The skin on your face doesn't look great? This might be because the alcohol is drying your skin, making lots of dead skin and causing your skin to look dull.

I'd suggest this:
Buy a gentle exfoliating cleanser with salicylic acid. Use this 3x a week.
Only use alcohol as spot treatment for your pimples- don't put it on your whole face.
Buy a moisturizer. I recommend Aveno, they also have a moisturizer with salicylic acid.

I'm about 18. My dad keeps saying that I have to go to a gynecologist because every woman needs to go every year. His girlfriend agrees with him.
I didn't think I needed to go until like, mid-20s at the earliest. I'm not even "sexually active" yet. My mom agrees that I really don't need to go yet and that visiting a general practitioner is enough.

Gross vaginal problem.

Recently I've been getting pimples on my vaginal lips, only one at a time. It starts out feeling sore, then a pimple forms and lasts about a week until it can be lanced. When it's lanced it completely goes away.

What the hell is causing it? I'm clean down there, it's not an STD, and I've only started getting them the past year. I don't think it's tied to hormones since I'm on the pill, my periods are all random and light. Maybe my pores are getting clogged up and infected?

Anyone have recommendations for a good lip balm?
My lips dry out pretty quickly during this season and I've already gone through a decent number of brands.

The last one I just ran out of was Neutrogena's Norwegian Formula, it felt good for a while but near the end it seemed like it wasn't working that well. I've also been using a nighttime recovery balm by Neosporin at that's great, but because it's made of white petroleum if I put too much on it'll make my lips look white.

the best way to do it is have them done professionally, and then just remove the hairs as you notice them growing in. after about a week they'll be grown out enough for you to see that they're the hairs that are growing back in.

as for trimming, take a mascara spooly or eyelash comb and comb your brows up- anything that is longer than the shape of your eyebrow you cut off. this should be done every other week.

No.
If she would comb them up, she would end up with a lot of empty spaces once the combs them back to their original form.
What she should do is comb them to a degree of 45* and cut the tips of the longest hairs that stand out too much above the rest.
Here's a decent tutorial, just make sure you don't comb the hairs too high, you may end up cutting too much.

also, she tweezes her eyebrows wrong. watching her drag the tweezers made me flinch. like- ow. no wonder her eyes water.
good job following advice from someone suggests putting /ice/ on the skin before tweezing (closing the pores, irritating the skin, and therefore making it more damaging with longer lasting pain and redness) instead of just tweezing properly.

How do you correctly 'tweeze' the brows? i don't see any dragging or anything, but i only watched a few minutes in.

I've always pulled the hairs out in a 'dragging' motion in the direction of hair growth to get the root and everything out from under the skin. lasts longer than plucking straight out for me.

>> No.6398623

>>6398607
dragging isn't a word used for the direction you pull, it's how quickly. the way she does it is too slow. it causes more pain, irritation, etc.
you shouldn't be able to see the skin move at all, and you should also be holding the skin taught. just helps you get even deeper.

also, putting makeup ontop of freshly tweezed brows without an astringent first.

for at home stuff it doesn't matter, people are going to do what people are going to do- but to give advice like that is really annoying. you can get real rashes from tweezing incorrectly.
like- at school i refuse to let other classmates do my eyebrows or any waxing if they haven't been doing it for awhile. made that mistake once, had a rash for over a week. just from bad tweezing.

I made the mistake of letting a friend tweeze my brows, once. They stayed fucked up for more than half of my life. Took too much off the inside of it. Never let friends tweeze brows, guys.

Cgl I went from a 24 inch waist to a 34 inch waist in two months from being on remeron (and like six other medications) trying to keep me from bottoming out and landing in the psych ward. It literally makes people want to shovel sugar into their mouths at all times you aren't asleep. I've consulted with my doctor and am reducing the amount but it's seriously fucking with me. The sugar has me breaking out in acne and clogged pores all over my face, I have disgusting amounts of fat everywhere.
I need your help, any tips from anyone, from any venue is worth asking advice from. Ways to combat the uncontrollable cravings, ways to exercise despite constant fatigue, etc. I'd be grateful for any advice you can offer me. Also, if I'm binging have eaten like 3000 calories already of junk, but still have a bottomless stomach, should I lock myself out of the kitchen, or still eat the healthy foods?

i feel you anon, binging is my #1 go to when i'm upset. right now i'm sitting with 2 boxes of cookies and i keep eating them, i already feel sick but fuck i can't stop.

>Ways to combat the uncontrollable cravings
don't keep anything in the house you wouldn't be comfortable binging on.
when i lived alone i only kept fruit, veggies, oatmeal, and soup in the house. if i wanted anything else i'd leave and get only bring a specific amount of money with me so i could only get a specific amount of food.

>ways to exercise despite constant fatigue
longer working out, less effort. go on walk, bike rides, for a few hours instead of high cardio.

>Also, if I'm binging have eaten like 3000 calories already of junk, but still have a bottomless stomach

>should I lock myself out of the kitchen
if you have to, yes. set meal times and don't allow yourself in there at any other time.

>or still eat the healthy foods?
obviously eat healthy foods. starving will only make your cravings and binging worse.

Slightly sweetened flavored hot oolong tea. In the largest quantities you can make. Replace all chilled liquids with water or the iced version of oolong or black tea. Oolong in particular helps trick your stomach into thinking it is more full, and slightly sweetened, flavored oolong is a decent substitute (to your brain) for sweet drinks and other sugar. And I know it's hard, but exercise as much as possible. This is where I'll tell you to be a cardio bunny; the chemicals you get in your brain from the elliptical will actually feel better than weight lifting. You can start back with the weights once you're more balanced.

I got rid of about 20 pounds of antipsychotic weight this way.

Oh, Anon, I feel you girl.
I was on steroids for three years, and gained an ungodly mount of weight. I'm only just getting it off now.

A few things I've found helpful:
myfitnesspal. It's really good because it's like journaling calories, but it counts them for you. You can also track exercise there.
Sugarfree gum and drink mix (Crystal Light, etc.). When I want to eat but know I'm not hungry, I'll have one of these. Not the best thing for you, but better than shovelling in the sugar!
Keep pictures of you when you used to be thinner around. I have one as my laptop background, so I see it all the time and remember why I'm putting myself through this.
Couch to 5k. Enough said, it's amazing.

Best of luck, Anon. I have lost 40lbs so far, but I still have a long way to go. You can do it.

Don't buy it. Don't go to the supermarket when you're hungry, if you have an option to do your supermarket shopping online (so you aren't seeing all the unhealthy food in front of you and just grab it) then do that. Go to fruit and vege markets. If it's sugar you crave, then get fruit. When you want to snack, try low fat cottage cheese with a small amount of chilli powder + sweet chilli sauce (a SMALL amount, that shit is full of calories) + carrots and celery for dipping into it.

In terms of exercising, low impact. If you can't get yourself out of the house, do calisthenics in your room. Situps, tricep dips, pressups, jogging on the spot, whatever you can manage.

I guess it's too much to ask for people to use willpower? Then again, if you needed stuff to keep you out of the mental ward, I guess your mental faculties aren't exactly the best to begin with. Those sugary snacks must look like they've got guns pointed at your family and they'll threaten to shoot if you don't eat them.

Thank you guys so much. As you can tell, I'm desperate. Never learned how to take care of myself and obviously didn't grow up in a stable home where this kind of stuff is taught. I'm glad there are others in a similar situation and you guys are caring enough to share.
I love love love tea, but can't actually drink it, too acidic ditto with artificial sweeteners like crystal light. The online shopping is a good idea. Found the site the low carb grocery, it's more expensive but might be worthwhile.
Again, thank you for the tips I'm going to write them out and keep them handy. Going to try to exercise a bit. :-)

If you want a fairly decent guide to what foods are healthier, try the Dukan Diet's 100 recommended foods - it's essentially lean meat, low-fat dairy, and leafy vegetables. It's not a be all and end all guide but it would be a good start for your shopping

It's mainly about avoiding certain foods, and having more protein in your diet as opposed to fats, and less starchy carbohydrates. I don't necessarily recommend doing the Dukan diet itself, but their food list is pretty good.

It took me a very long time of regular sex before I had no pain (like a year). I honestly thought it would never stop hurting, but it finally did. I'm just a very, very petite person, that area included, and it's possible you are too.
In the meantime, make extra extra sure you guys take your time with foreplay. Not only will this help you produce more natural lubricant, but the vaginal cavity actually opens up more when aroused, which will really help. Also use lube every single time, even if you're really wet - ESPECIALLY if your partner is using a condom, because those tend to feel really dry. And finally, relax as much as possible.

If the pain doesn't stop after a couple of months, see a gynecologist - you could have something like vaginismus.

It shouldn't have to be mentioned but I will since I have met so many people who don't know this. Dont fucking pop your zits! God just why? What do you think makes acne scarring so bad? Keep your face clean and when you get a zit just leave it the fuck alone, or maybe gently apply some good zit ointment.

Don't create open wounds on your goddamn face people, christ are we 5. Half of breakouts probably start from one little zit and nasty fingers picking at it all day.

And further more, try not to touch your face at all without washed hands to limit bacteria contamination and don't let dirty shit like your cell phone rest on your face at all, and change your pillow cases and anything else that might be causing them.

I know some people have hormonal/genetics issues that causes bad acne but please try logical solutions before giving up and letting your face become a minefield.

I know some people really don't even think about the whole what gets on your hands gets on your face phenomenon, like it's obvious science that can be overlooked very easily.
But what about people who just instinctively touch their faces? I've never heard of a good solution, it's just a hardwired habit to some. And then they wonder why they keep breaking out on their chins (where I personally like to rest my hand/fingers in an awkward position.)

Actually if you have an obvious whitehead you can stop a lot of the inflammation and potential scarring by very very carefully opening it with a pin and releasing the.. ugh I feel gross even typing this. It has helped me tremendously in the past. But it's a risky affair and it gets increasingly tempting to do it with every single one.

NEVER FUCKING SQUEEZE THEM, though. It irritates and bursts blood vessels under the skin and that is where you'll have red marks for ten goddamn years afterward. Never, ever, ever squeeze.

I used to compulsively bite my nails in my early teens. I told my mom that I wanted to stop, so she started to slap me really hard on the upper arm whenever my hand went to my mouth. Only took a few weeks before I would automatically stop myself after only raising my hand an inch or two. I guess this would be the "negative reinforcement" method opposed to >>6399229

If using over-the-counter soap (nothing too harsh) doesn't work on your acne, spend the time and money to go to a dermatologist. I struggled with acne for years, and it wasn't until I saw a dermatologist and prescribed something that my acne finally stopped.

It can be expensive, but it's worth it to have clear skin and feel good about how you look.

Use lube. Even if you think you don't need it. I thought I didn't need it, and I often don't, but some days it was just too painful. For reference, I'm 5'3", with 30" hips, and when I was with my last boyfriend we had sex almost every day (often several times) for six months, and I still haven't, uh, loosened up at all.

Also seconding >>6399084. Foreplay is so, so important. Helps with lubrication, stretching, and the more aroused you are, the better sex feels. It might even help if you orgasm before having sex, especially if you orgasm from non-penetrative sex.
