switched my routine from simple lush products with neutrogena/spf moisturizer to paulas choice cleanser & exfoliant and i've been breaking out bad.

recently bought some snail mucin to fade the scaring. this is really sad i wanted this to work for me so bad but i might just go back to using angels and bare skin.

i don't think it's my skin purging either it's been 3 weeks...

So I bought Neutrogena Hydro Boost Moisturiser, I like it.

I then bought 'Kiehl's Ultra Light Daily UV Defense Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 50ml'. Wtf i is brown and runny/thin.

What do anons reccomend? I am a guy btw.

>>13241312
You are supposed to apply that sunscreen with a cotton pad.
Were you just trying to rub it into your skin using your hands or some shit?

>>13241318

Yeah I put some on my fingers. But still I don't like how it is all brown and runny, will it not colour my skin? I really like the texture of hydro boost in comparison.

>>13241318
>You are supposed to apply that sunscreen with a cotton pad.

It just seems like such a womans product..
What do you lads use for sunscreen?

has anyone here ever tried korean skincare or even the korean 10 steps skincare program?

do you mean swallowing raw garlic
because if so...I've done it and it works great

>>13241354
There is literally zero difference between skincare for men and women, what the fuck are you on about?
Do you think that using a cotton pad to gently distribute a lotion across your skin instead of blindly smearing it everywhere with your dirty fucking fingers is somehow going to make you lose your masculinity?

>>13241649
>There is literally zero difference between skincare for men and women, what the fuck are you on about?

You should try reading. Try looking up how testosterone affects skin thickness, or sebum composition. Or the sex differences in acne, dry skin, dermatitis, and rosacea. And learning what skin disorders are caused by pregnancy, and what issues women can get during periods and menopause. And how differences in body hair and its composition affects grooming and skincare.

you may also even learn why it's more important for women to use sunscreen

>>13241649

I guess I might as well start wearing makeup too.

your welcome

My face is dry as fuck and dont really like cleansers as they seem to dry it even more. Is there a reason you should always use one though?

>>13243255
A facial cleanser... get this.... "cleanses" your facial skin!
This means it gets rid off all the dirt and garbage that collects inside your pores that you won't normally get to with just some water and a washcloth which keeps your skin young and healthy!

Also use a fucking moisturizer afterwards, of course your face will feel dry immediately after you cleansed it, that's perfectly normal no matter what your skin type is like.

>>13243234
jesus fucking christ

ive tried tons of different products (cleanser, toner, spot treatment, and moisturizer) with differing ingredients but acne wont stop coming. sometimes its improved with those products, but as of right now its the worst its been in my life. im just gonna try cetaphil cleanser and nothing else to see if a gentle approach will work rather than a ton of those chemicals. if that doesnt solve anything after about a month ill just go see a fucking derm. my twin brother uses literally nothing and has
way better skin than me. life is unfair lol.

they can be drying. i use a sunscreen with alcohol (Biore UV perfect milk) but it's worth it for me because the texture of it is amazing. i just use extra moisturizer at night.

Can I get some advice on dealing with cold sores? I woke up this morning with 3 blisters on my lower lip :(

what do i do about the lines inside my forearms? is it just genetic?

I started treating my self-diagnosed rosacea+seborrea with a face wash and a face cream. I chose them carefully, avoiding all the ingredients that were listed as bad. The wash burned like hell, and the cream's box subtly warned not to apply around my eyes. I ignored that advice. Two days later, all the redness and flakiness was gone, but I had some sort of criss-cross wrinkles under my eyes I had not had before, it's still there. What did I do boys? Google yielded nothing. Will this be permanent? I'm only 24.

>>13243255
Try an oil cleanser anon you might be drying your skin out with your current one

>>13243906
don't be mad at the truth

>>13241285
After I apply an ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

I have forehead wrinkles. How do I get rid of them?

I bought Stridex in the red box and just used it tonight and it kinda hurts my face. Is this normal?

Also do I put on Kikumasamune high moist lotion before or after the stridex?

>tfw bought more Biore Mild Care Milk sunscreen
It's simply the best chemical sunscreen ever. SPF not too high at 30 PA++, and the thing feels great on your face.

However my latest order isn't in my mailbox despite being over 7 weeks since it shipped from Japan.

Is Canadian customs keking me up along with fellow Asian mail shipments? Or did the customs seize my item because it's a sunscreen with unapproved sunscreen ingredients in Canada? I hope the dumbass seller didn't declare it as sunscreen.

I ordered another one from Amazon.com shipping from the US, but at twice the price you'd pay from eBay. Hope that one arrives quick enough

>>13245456

i see balls wat r u talkin about
am i wrong?

>>13246564
There's a reason that warning was there. The skin around your eyes is far too thin and sensitive for aggressive shit like that.
You probably scared it, it's not necessarily permanent, really almost nothing is, but it can take quite a while to get rid off naturally.

>>13241285
recently got sick and broke out around my eyes and forehead for some fucking reason

is putting cum on your face overnight a meme?
not gay btw

I’m 23 now and still get acne on my cheeks sometimes. When I was going through puberty I’d get it all over my face: cheeks, nose, chin, forehead. So I’m pretty sure this is just because of contact with my pillow now. Other than changing pillow case often and trying to sleep on my back, any recs on how to avoid face contact with pillow?

>>13247348
try it and let us know

>>13247350
wrap your face in a plastic bag before bed as a barrier

>>13247360
well...
i do it maybe twice a week so results may vary.
I have very oily skin, it gets specially oily now that it's warmer; i use semen as an overnight mask and i found out that in the morning, it's drier and some pimples seem smaller and not as red. Then i rinse it off with water obviously.

may be due to the estrogen and zinc in the cum tho...

>>13246901
Might be too harsh for your skin. Your skin is probably more delicate.
Put the Kiku after stridex.

>>13244751
Yes, low sugar diet (carbs too, they get converted into glucose). Best diet for your skin, tried it for a month, skin cleared up so much, but found the diet too restrictive, missed eating fruit.

>>13246617
Can attest to an oil cleanser, a lot less drying than other cleansers. Make sure to use it on a DRY face, took me a while to learn that...

>>13247417
should I try the stridex sensitive in the green box? it's .5% salicylic acid instead of 2% in the red box one and it has no menthol.

I've heard that you can get amazing results by applying a silver solution and then aloe to moisturize. Any experiences?

so in order, do you apply exfoliator (not every day), cleanser, then astringent/toner, then moisturise (on damp skin)? and its just trial and error finding the right combination of products?

any dudes out there with freckles?

what's your routine?

what's just a good routine in general?

>>13248654
Own them

>>13248656
i mean yeah, but like, i'm 22 and forehead wrinkles are starting to build.

Anyone know how to reduce noticeable pores?

rate my routine. (my skin issue is acne, still not 100% clear but its looking better than before I started)

AM
>Cerave hydrating cleanser
>Thayer's witch hazel unscented toner
>mad hippie vitamin c serum
>avene eau thermale emulsion
>missha sun essence

PM
>badger argan face cleansing oil
>cerave cleanser
>thayers toner
>wait 20 min then apply tretinoin .05% cream

The moisturizer emulsion and the spf are the only items that have comedogenic ingredients but I was not able to find spf or moisturizer that was completely noncomedogenic

People on here say you should always apply sunscreen on your face. Would pic related be good for the face? If not what sort of sunscreen am I looking for?

How do you anons deal with spots on the daily? I've heard about those patches that you can apply, but never really tried them.

>>13248969

Soy milk is what I usually get (get the unsweetened variety or it will be loaded with sugar), but I've seen pea, cashew, almond, and coconut milk (and more). Some kinds are better for different things, almond milk is better in coffee that soymilk, for example

Someone give me a quick rundown on charcoal meme

>>13249622
do you eat vegan yogurt? i love Greek yogurt so much and i can't find anything that has the texture of it, most vegan yogurts I've tried are very thin. and loaded with sugar. :/

Can someone redpill me on Japanese skincare products?

inb4 soyboy but

how do i get around to slowing down beard growth? I would totally be down to growing a beard but it grows out in neckbeard mode. I'm out here having to shave every 3 days and it blows. Should I get my face waxed or something?

>>13251014
If shaving every 3 days is enough you already have very slow beard growth. Most people shave daily, or at least every other day.
Either suck it up, it's a perfectly normal thing almost all adult men deal with, or get your face lasered and say goodbye to beard hair forever. Just keep in mind that it's permanent and should you want longer sideburns or the like in the future you'd be fucked.

once daily in the shower i've been rinsing my face with water, then using cleanser with a cotton pad, washing that off and using a facial wash, and then drying and using a moisturiser. however i've been getting even more spots than before when i was simply using a face wash in the shower every day.

could this be because i'm touching my face a lot more when spreading the moisturiser? or the moisturiser is just too greasy and clogs my skin up? cause it does feel too greasy

>>13251031
Laser isn't permanent at all

>>13251080
Tattoos aren't either.

>>13250685
fortunately legit yogurt like greek and balkan, is high in protein and the beneficial bacteria make it easy to digest so less imflammation. also heard that better gut flora helps weight loss/maintenance

>>13251056
why are you using 2 cleansers? it's unnecessary and will dry your skin out unless you wear a lot of makeup. also washing in the shower might be making your skin irritated if the water is hot or shampoo is getting on your face. i would say wash only at the sink with one gentle cleanser. ditch the cotton pad.

>>13251190
any specific moisturiser types i should look out for if i have sensitive/dry skin? the nivea for men one i use now normally makes me feel greasy as though it doesn't do my skin any good and just clogs it up.

should i bother with a toner or exfoliation at all?

Is there any way to remove all my facial hair at home? Right now I use a safety razor but my hair especially on my jaw just will not come off and there are these short stubbly hairs that will not go away. I want a perfectly smooth face.

>>13251627
I use a normal cartridge razor and shave every second day. I start by going with the grain and then against and it gives me a very smooth finish. Some people claim that shaving against the grain causes in-grown hairs but I've not had any yet

What do you skin care experts do?

I want a tan but I don't want cancer,wrinkles,aging.

will using sunscreen daily keep my skin pastey? I figure the small amount of direct sun I get a day (1hr max) isn't too damaging.

What sunscreen would you recommend that doesn't leave a white cast nor makes my face look super greasy? I have tried Biore and for whatever reason it makes my face look so oily, it's not usually nearly that oily. I have also tried La Roche Posay Anthelios and while I really like how it feels on my face it usually leaves a white cast.

how long will it take for these spot scars to go away or are they permo?
how can I get rid of them?

Guys I've been getting flaky white skin under my lower lip so I stopped cleansing it and just apply it to the other parts of my face. I still apply moisturizer to it though, specifically MUJI Moisturizing Milk. But then that shit started turning red and seemed to be irritated all the time so I stopped everything on that area. It's like I'm missing layers of skin there. What the hell do I do?

I use MUJI Face Soap if that matters.

I'm getting bacne and it sucks. I'm controlling it by changing shirts after gym after washing off a bit, then showering as soon as I'm home. However, around my shoulders and upper back is all I can reach. I can't cleanse my lower back or most of it at all actually. What do you guys do for this?

Is there any value in using Benzoyl Peroxide just once per day? Or does it really need to be morning and night?

Depends on your location
Is it sunny where you live?

Is this irritation or a fungal infection?
It burns
>inb4 herpes and aids, I just wanna get rid of it

Definitely doesn't look like plain normal irritated skin.

Dunno man, personally I'd probably go visit my derm but since that's covered completely by my healthcare there's really not much reason for me not to.

do any anons get mild flushing and redness in their cheeks as soon as any product goes on them? idk what it is but it's always happened to me, as soon as my face gets too oily or I put moisturiser on it, my cheeks seem to flare up, it's not super noticeable or anything but still annoying.

I’ve been using Tiege Hanley for my beautiful face.
And let me tell you gentlemen I’ve never looked so /fa/.

>>13257761
yes. i can only wash my face with water a couple times a week, and moisturise once daily. otherwise i have permanent irritated skin. still searching for the perfect routine for my skin. sunlight seems to help. i've had seb derm for years and nothing has totally cured it.

I've tried so many products and nothing makes a difference. my skin is still covered in spots and blemishes

>>13259044
See a dermatologist
This is the only thing that really helps

>>13244097

Check this, hope you find a cure.

My face is dry and flaky after my shower, no matter what soap or cleanser I use it. No matter how gentle it is, like Dove, Cetaphil, and CeraVe, they all strip my face completely and leave my face looking a mess when I get out.

I know I can just put on a moisturizer afterward, but pretty much every moisturizer I've ever tried has broken me out, and it seems like I should be fixing the underlying dryness anyway.

Should I just be washing with water at this point?

halp

>>13251403
cerave moisturizing cream. make sure it's the cream not the lotion. the cream is much thicker and locks in moisture, which is ideal for dry skin.

>>13253306
unironically banana boat.

>>13252749
an hour a day is fine with good sunscreen, although not ideal.

just randomly broke out bad all along my lower forehead/temple area. what's the quickest way to minimize the redness so i don't look so much like a greasy troglodyte?

>>13249581
>alternate to milk

water. if you bake stop baking lol

>>13252749
don't tan. ingest beta carotene and astaxathine

it will give you the red-orange glow without ruining your skin, if anything it will improve it

>>13243255
you need to cleanse then moisturise even if its just with sunscreen
there are gentle gel cleansers too that are ph balances


>>13241287
>>13253502
dont think there is anything that says snail mucin fades scar but
i would say give it time and MUST use sunscreen like now!!
niacinamide is also great, vitamin c, retinol, lactic acid (all on the ordinary for like 5$) really recommend. they work wonders on scars like hyperpigmentation

>>13244097
have you taken a look at what type of foods you have been eating?
also, if it really isnt working you should consider going to doctor

>>13246807
i dont think you can get rid of them, only slighty fade and prevent them
perhaps your skin is dry too.
retinols and anti aging creams are great.
spf is must, sun causes wrinkles

>>13246985

There should be a whole thread for this. Daily threads.

tried cutting out sugar and dairy but it's fucking impossible, how do you do it?

the only way to truely cure acne is from its source -- internally

>>13261575
cutting out sugar is really hard but if you don't eat it for weeks the cravings go away. after months of no sugar, stuff like 99% cocoa chocolate bars and even broccoli started to taste sweet to me. im back eating sugar now unfortunately.

for dairy, switch to an unsweetened plant milk. cashew is my personal favorite. soy has the most protein and it doesn't affect your hormones, that's a meme. vegan coffee creamer, yogurt, cheese, etc is more available than it used to be and not that much more expensive than the real stuff.

>>13261734
I don't think there's anything you can really do for male hormonal acne other than use topical treatments.

And yes I shave slowly to avoid cutting my skin with the razor.

Is there treatment options for acne scarring? I took accutane when I was younger and it mostly stopped my acne, but it left a lot of scarring and blemishy skin

>>13264573
topical niacinamide, topical vitamin c, retinoids, and chemical exfoliants all help. those can all be done at home. dermatologists have treatments you can go in for (microneedling, laser therapy, etc) but they'll cost a lot of money. remember to be religious about sun protection.
