i have very dry skin and it works well for me. occasional tiny pimples near my hairline but nowhere else. i look a bit flushed/red more often than i'd prefer but I'm hoping the retinol will help with that

>I want to start using sunscreen but I’m trying to understand the point of putting sunscreen on your face in the morning if it only lasts a few hours. are you supposed to re-apply every few hours?
yes

>>15637389
when you reapply do you wash your face each time..?

>>15637367
her face is low IQ but very lovely

>>15637453
Chemical sunscreens degrade in the sun, physical ones less so. You'll still need to apply as needed.

>>15637367

cleanser
toner
exfoliate
shave
eye cream
moisturizer

PM
cleanser

>>15637453
i don't think you have to, but i don't reapply because i only go outside once a day.

>>15637483
exfoliate and shave everyday, huh?

>>15637500
yes I shave everyday, exfoliate once or twice a week

>>15637503
Sounds nicer. What kind of toner?

>>15637520
This is my go to and current toner, though usually anything alcohol free works just fine for me

>>15637478
i feel like reapplying without a clean face would clog pores

>>15637483
what do you shave with?

>>15637555
nice digits, just some generic gillette thing, fusion 5 I think

Imagine being autistic and on meth

>>15637389
>>15637453
>>15637478
thx. my takeaway from this is to not go outside

Emulsion
Sunscreen reapplied every two hours

Night -
Cleanse

>>15637561
hm, what about shaving cream and such
I use a gillette mach 3 with Taylor of Old Bond St. sensitive shaving cream and shaving my neck is hell, dunno what to do
tried a DE razor and it was even worse

>>15637570
You’re not safe indoors either
UVA rays still penetrate glass and that’s the kind that causes wrinkles

>>15637572
I wonder if I keep my phone/computer screen at 0K color temperature 24/7, would it have similar effects to red light therapy

>>15637573
Yeah same, I used to have those bumps all over my neck. I just switched from shaving cream to gel and now its completely gone. Pic is the one I currently use, again very generic and cheap

>>15637581

(Forgot text)

But anyways probably not
They’re only like 100$ though. Used consistently should save you a lot on injectables and surgery later down the line

>>15637572
do you wash your face before reapplying?

is there any way to shave against the grain without irritating your skin? whenever i shave against the grain i feel like i have 100 papercuts for 3 days but i want a close shave :(

>>15637865
I do my jawline like sideways, it's always super close, zero irritation. Never had any luck against the grain, only spot I ever feel like doing that is where my jaw and neck is back by my ear, too many angles back there. I only use my razor maybe twice tho.

>>15637865
>>15637905
for my jawline i give myself a double chin while shaving it, seems to help for me
in general i shave in long strokes for flat areas and short strokes for curves along with washing the razor often

whats a good basic routine

>>15637703
I’m not acne prone so I don’t wash my face in the mornings

Can anyone recommend something for greasy skin? I tried nivea cream but that shit made my face look like I dipped it inside a pool with oil

>skip routine 1(ONE) night because im tired
>wake up with a breakout

its all so tiresome

>>15637939
I would liek to see how that looks irl

>>15637367
I love Lisa so much

my routine is so shit compared to some years back


Latetly its just

cleanser
wash
stridex (now and then)
moisturizer (after waiting)
repeat both times of the day.

>>15637936
for very oily skin: cerave moisturizing lotion
for normal skin but doesn't look greasy: cerave moisturizing cream (less breathable than the lotion)

>>15637367
Now post her before plastic surgery

Bros, no matter how frequent I am with the lip-balm, my lips always end up drying out. Large, dry, hollow shells of skin appear over my lips. Hard not to peel them sometimes, even just from putting on lip balm.

Any reccs for keeping my lip skin healthy and plump?

>>15639390
i have big lips that tend to get dry frequently. i think you just need a better/more oily lip balm, i use pic related, it’s basically just petrolatum.

make sure you apply before sleeping as well. i also rub any dead skin off at the end of my shower (the water helps. don’t be too aggressive just rub with your index finger)

>>15639390
Buy bag balm and leave it on overnight

It's was originally used on cows utters to keep them from cracking until people discovered it's great on lips

Also drink more water and don't lick your lips (your saliva literally digests your lips and makes it worse)

>>15639390
drink water!!
have like 2-3 glasses for each meal and drink throughout the day
aquaphor is good too but it's hard to drink while wearing it

>>15637367
where do y’all get your retinol? any reccs?

how do I get rid of these shitty darker or red patches on my face? it's not even acne just like.. discolouration

>>15637387
>>15637389
>>15637483
>>15637572
Would you guys/gals say that you have good skin or any pics? I'm new to this stuff, and looking at these lists, you're all putting in a lot more effort than I'm used to and I'm wondering how much it would pay off for me if I adopted similar routines.

>>15641368
My skin looks 10x better than it used to, however I still get an occational pimple etc. So if you can afford it, go for it

AM
Exfoliate (every other day)
Cleanse
Toner
Moisturiser

PM
Cleanser
Toner
Retinol
Eye Cream

>>15642589
Arent you supposed to cleanse before exfoliating?

>>15642722
I'm not entirely too sure, I've heard different things from equally reputable sources. I try to exfoliate far more infrequently than anything else however

>>15642734
Yeah same, I've always stuck to once or twice a week, no point in exfoliating when theres almost no dead skin. I remember my dermatologist saying clean skin gives you a good surface to exfoliate, so take that as you will

>>15641268
A good moisturizer and some sunscreen.

>>15639390
Do you sleep with your mouth open? I do it and it hella dries my lips.

>>15642589
wtf does eye cream do? seems like a meme

>>15642878
Moisturizes the area around your eye that is normally too sensitive for the shit you put on your face.

How do I incorporate BHA into my routine? Apply it after cleansing or after exfoliating?

>>15637367
My routine plus before and after (2yr difference)

>>15642923
ah ok makes sense. that might be why my eyelids are hurting lol. how do you cleanse your eyes then do you have a special cleanser too? or you just wash with water and put on eye cream

>>15642929
Just water honestly, never experienced the area around my eyes getting greasy or oily. However, it gets dry after I shower, which is why eye cream comes in handy for me. Also yh, my normal moisturizer feels like hellfire if I use it around my eyes

I have eyebags or shadows I don't know what it's called it's like a slightly darker ring under my eyes at 20yo. What do I do? Also, I've had to use corticosteroid cream on my lower eyelashes for a long time now and I heard is can thin the skin over time, could this be the reason why?

>>15643161
embrace it, dark eye bags are peak 21st century man

>>15642878
I have crazy bad eye bags and I've convinced myself that it helps

>>15643202
eye bags are effay tho

>>15641268
vitamin c serum, niacinamide, and sunscreen

>>15642926
you're cute

>>15643386
lol simping to the max level..

>>15643386
Am I cute as well, Anon?

>>15643398
yes ._.

>>15643161
You likely won't get rid of them, especially if they've been around for this long, in spite of all of that. Learn to live with them, embrace them.

i'm pretty new to skincare stuff, i think my skin is pretty normal, if not it's probably on the dry/sensitive side. do i need to cleanse twice a day? or is just in the morning fine

>>15643760
I think you can wash your face twice a day regardless of skin type, just to stay clean. However, you should probably pay extra attention to staying moisturized

>>15643760
if you don't have acne problems it's not necessary. once a day is fine. if you do have acne and sweat overnight, it may be a good idea to cleanse morning and night. regardless, if you want to moisturize, it may be a good idea to wash your face first before applying moisturizer. simply washing with water can work if you aren't acne prone.

I have red marks on my face all the time. My skin is dry despite moisturizing daily. What the fuck am I missing? Do I need to exfoliate?

>>15643960
no exfoliating will make it drier
use a better moisturizer

>>15637367
I believe that skincare apart from maybe sunscreen and Accutane is just jewish bullshit.

>>15644460
go on

>>15642926
nice products, ill look into the skin milk
very nice progress

>>15642924
BHA is an exfoliant. Don't use physical exfoliants (beads, salt, sugar, etc). They create tears in your skin which can allow more bacteria in. Chemical exfoliants like AHA or BHA are much better.

>>15644460
People like you will believe everything is "jewish bullshit" until you realise that good advice is good advice, regardless of the source.

My skin is pretty good besides the one or two red spots I get on my cheekbone/cheek, which ruins the whole thing. I always have around 3 at all times and they change positions? why can't I get these to go away if they did i'd be fine

>>15637367
masculisa machoman

>>15642926
When do you use everything, can you detail the morning/night process?

What's the best way to shave your pubic area?

I used to use an electric trimmer but then cut myself and got a bacterial infection.

What's a safer way to do it?

Recommend me a sunscreen for near daily use. Not greasy and odorless is preferable.

Hey, chronic dry-skin haver who lives in the desert here. I have really dry, sensitive skin that most bodywash doesn't react too well with, does anybody know of a good product for this? I have my whole facial routine down along with bodily moisturizer but i'm having trouble finding good advice regarding bodywash.

thanks in advance!

if you are using a retinol you do not need to exfoliate. simplicity is best. heres my routine:

wash in shower with warm water. vigorously rub your face in there to make sure you are starting with a "clean slate"

witch hazel toner. this is totally optional. i like it, so i use it. if you dont, dont.

a decent, non comedogenic moisturizer with spf 15. you dont need to apply every few hours. thats just autism. you're not outside enough to warrant that.

at night, warm water to wash away the dirt.
toner here is non optional.
retinol. i like differin. use what works for you. DO NOT OVERDO IT. a dab will do you. this is a chemical exfoliator. if you have sensitive skin, a physical exfoliator will irritate your skin too much, even if used infrequently. skip that bullshit.
moisturizer. i use the same one that i do in the morning because it doesn't matter.

this is it. do not overcomplicate this shit.
