best moisturizers are the ones without a lot of fragrance and random filler shit. clinique makes good hypoallergenic ones for diff skin types, but expensive. good cheap drugstore ones are cetaphil, cerave, or nivea stuff

for a daily moisturizer i use the clinque for men face moisturizer. unscented, no bullshit. afterwards i put on a high spf sunblock made by shiseido

every other day i'll use a japanese brand hyaluronic acid serum before the moisturizer and sunblock.

once a week before bed i use a prescription retenoid cream as a chemical exfoliant, followed by at least two layers of cere ve cream, with a final light coat of aquaphor.

How to fight excessively oily skin? Been using Cerave cleanser + moisturizer in the mornings and hyaluronic acid serum (with no additional lotion) before bed. Been doing this for months without any improvement.

I keep my hands and feet soft by smearing on Aquaphor (which alongside Vaseline is the strongest general purpose moisturizer) then wearing cotton gloves and socks over them at night.

Areas with large pores like on the nose and cheeks are dabbed with Walmart brand salicylic acid, entire face gets a thin application of Differin. I moisturize over all of my face with Lubriderm Daily Moisture.

I bathe with unscented bar soap which is quantitatively better at washing away muck than fancy body washes and other gimmicks, but is also the most drying. I use Lubriderm over all the trouble areas soon after showering.

I avoid shampooing if I can help it so usually I will shampoo three times a week at the most, usually after a workout. Just ordinary Head and Shoulders classic. After the shower I apply - guess what - Lubriderm right into the hair. Anyways, I have tried progressively more expensive products only to discover the cheap stuff works better. I don't have a particular thing for Lubriderm but it works for me, and I don't doubt Aveeno or Cerave or whatnot work just as well. Basically my entire skin care life is an unending war against dryness and fragrances.

Does dermarolling really make fade some scars?

[Anonymous No.13117875]

I run outside in the mornings to get sunlight and open pores.
If I go to the gym that day I do 10-15 mins in the steam room followed by gym soap for my face.
I just use body soap for my face and have minimal to no pimples (age 21).
When I was a little younger I would use 5 step cleaning washes, anti acne medicated creams.
The best thing for me is regular sunlight, steam, and LOW STRESS. Emphasis on the last bit.

I just cleanse daily with a bioderma sensibio cleaner (it's great). I also used the Neutrogena Naturals one when I was in Canada which was great too but I can't get it in EU.

Exfoliate every 3 days in the shower after a shave with the louis widmer (no perfume or other bullshit)

Moisturise with a cheapo random moisturizer that farmers also use to keep the udders of cows nice and healthy.

That's about it, I may alternate from moisturizers from time to time but I mostly use the above and sometimes just a homemade blend of oils (castor/jojoba oil with 5% peppermint essential oil)

Not really. it's gentle on my skin and it serves its purpose, but there's nothing special about it. If I'm not wearing makeup it leaves a weird bluish white cast over my skin. I'm going to try the glossier sunscreen and maybe switch to that since it's a clear gel formula instead of a cream

Should I have a skin care routine? The only thing I do is wash my face twice a day and I never wear makeup (rarely I apply homemade clay mask like once in two months or so). My skin is very smooth and soft, everyone always asks me to touch my cheeks because they're baby soft, never had any problems with acne and I usually get one pimple during that time of the month but I leave it there and wait till it's gone, never popped a pimple in my life and the idea of doing it grosses me out desu. Now I was wondering maybe I should use sunscreen since I live in a relatively warm place and don't want to age quickly even though I look way younger for my age for now at least. I wish I had a skin care routine but I have no idea where to start and don't want to buy hundreds of products and never use them or get oily skin or make my situation worse. I'm not even sure about the difference between a moisturizer, exfoliator and cleanser, and which you apply first etc. If it really makes your skin better I'll give it a go and I've read the sticky already, I just want to be sure it doesn't irritate my skin if they have any chemicals or alcohol.

good brands are cetaphil, cerave, the ordinary, paula's choice and clinique. the first two are the cheaper options and work almost exactly as good as the other products. The ordinary is a very cheap but VERY good choice for AHA, BHA, topical retinoids, serums (niacinamide, vitamin c, etc). yes, 15 euros/pounds/dollars may seem expensive for a large pump of cleanser or moisturzer or whatever, but they last for months and months.

>clinique, paulas choice
not really the same, but similar price ranges. both are very effective, but not every clinique products are worth it. i tried some 60 something day cream which was REALLY GOOD, but not that good for the price. package only lasted like forty days too. paulas choice is very "scientific" but expensive

>the ordinary
GOAT GOAT GOAT, use a fuck ton of their stuff. not all of their products are good, so look through the reviews a little bit. other products by DECIEM (main company) are shit imho. their products are really fucking cheap too.
currently use advanced retinoid, lactic acid + HA, salycilic acid 2% and niacinamide + zinc. also argan oil for muh hair

uhhhhhhhhh meh cheap but not too effective. all (i think?) exfoliants still have crunch thingies in them, which is a huge big time meme and literlly fugss ur skin. other shit is scented and their moisturizer isnt even that good.

>aesop
got a few things from them. pretty much everything they have is highly scented. hand cream, lip balm and pocket sanitizer are pretty good, also because i can handle fragrance on those body parts. their facial peels, cleanser, moisturizer, shampoo etc are a big fucking meme, overpriced and dont work good AT ALL

BHAs are good for clearing out pores. Unfortunately, there isn't a way to reduce pore size (I don't think), so the best way is for you to clear out your pores to minimize their appearance. BHAs and salicylic acid can do this, as well as help with blackheads.

If you have blackheads on your nose, they are actually called sebaceous filaments. They are natural and everyone gets them. But BHAs do the same job here and can get rid of all the gunk that's there.

I've used Cosrx blackhead power liquid (salicylic acid) and the Ordinary''s 2% salicylic acid. Both are pretty good for pores/blackheads and oiliness in general. Be careful using these products though, you can over exfoliate your skin and just make things worse. Be sure to keep your skin hydrated and moisturized when you're using them and don't over do it.

I've used the high moist for a long time now and it's one of my favorite toners. Super good at brightening and hydrating the skin.

get a facial once every quarter -- someone good, not a bubble gum popping acid queen. find someone who once suffered with bad skin ... they usually know what really works.

in short, hydration and consistency are key -- along with simple ingredients. Dr. Jart = pricey but good if you're looking for a moisturizer. La roche posey is french drugstore sold at Target -- get the toleraine cleanser from them. toners are kind of bs -- but I use colloidal silver to make sure my skin is extra clean before apply any product. there are so many more steps, but all you need to know is end every other day with a sheet mask --on the off days end with an exfoliator of sorts.

i'm no expert but i feel like you should moisturise when your skin needs it, not based on what you're doing.

I use Stridex on my thighs for ingrown hairs when I shave, so I don't see why it wouldn't work on your neck. just be sure to follow up with a moisturizer since it can be drying.

9/10 oily skin is dehydrated skin. Strip your skin routine back and stop over-cleansing/exfoliating as it makes your oil production worse.

Your skin is so dehydrated that it can’t rehydrate itself with its own oil so it sits on the surface of your skin.

Get a gentle cream cleanser and only use it at night. In the morning just rinse with water and use jojoba oil and a moisturiser to moisturise skin

Thoughts on using a loofah to exfoliate the body so I can avoid razor bumps and achieve that silky smooth cuteboi skin? Would I be better off using an AHA? Also, is r/skincareaddiction a valid source of info/recommendations or are they not allowed because reddit?

TFW your GF works at Aesop corporate office and gets 50% off ALL merchandise.

TFW everything in your house is Aesop: poop drops, handwash, bodywash, hair stuff, a dozen skin products, perfumes etc.

TFW you're still ugly - hair is weak and wirey and skin looks like a pizza

Apologies for the shit pic. How do I get rid of these black spots all over my nose? I've tried pore strips and they did nothing. Its like every single pore is blocked with dirt and I can't get it out. Help me /fa/!

moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. you can do it before bed too
you'll notice the moisturizer sinks in the skin after a few minutes so it won't be an issue with your pillow

>>13124855
my friend had the same, but it got solved after he moisturized his neck too. also make sure you dont put too much pressure on the razor and have a good lather

>>13125266
dumb question. read the OP, read the thread

>>13125492
loofahs are pretty disgusting and dont really contribute to a good skin. by far the best way to exfoliate is dry brushing with (preferably) a boar hair brush, which costs 3-4 euro/dollar/pound if you look around a bit. first time it may feel a little itchy, but after two to three times your skin will feel like a god
also moisturize

/r/ska is a good source of information, but mostly filled with pictures of older women and whatnot. skinacea is a REALLY good site for all information

read thread soyboy
they are called sebaceous filaments. some stips can fuck up your nose and break underlying blood vessels. this can also happen if you try to squeeze them out with your fingers. broken bood vessels can create bumps on your nose and will look brownish. some damage might be permanent, but on average it takes a few years before they fully restore. so >dont< do this

use a cleanser and a AHA exfoliant

I work for a skincare company. Once you get about 40-50 US, you are paying for marketing and small production runs. Read labels. For guys, vitamin C and E, hyaluronic acid are all good ingredients. Don't over exfoliate. Use SPF (at least 15+, 50 better) every day

Motherfucking skin. I swear since I've tried to get serious about skincare my skin has only gotten WORSE. I've tried everything short of getting rid of a moisturizer, and I can't seem to find a good one either. I might be sensitive to niacinamide?

Okay so I have this bumpy skin around my chest area, especially the upper chest on my sternum area. It's not acne and it's not colored or anything just kinda rough. Anyone have this or have any suggestions? Would apprecaite it.

Listen bro. I just solved this exact problem. I was shaving with 2 blade disposables. I bought a cartridge razer with vibrating trimmer, shaving foam. Then you just go slow with a sharp blade and the vibrations help avoid cuts. The foam helps keep the skin flexible during your shave.

After you're done, rinse, and finish by splashing/rubbing isopropyl alcohol (70%) all over the shaved area. It's gonna burn away most of the bacteria that would lead to razer burn (bumps and sores), but its also gonna dry the fuck out of your skin. Try not to touch your face, or dry your face with used hand towels (basically undos washing in the first place; full of bacteria).

So far I relied on stuff I bring back from yurop ever time but I want to shift to local brands if that’s an alternative. Any recommendations?
I have normal skin, no acne at all (I’m beyond that age).

Is there any way I can identify my skintype without checking with a dermatologist? My face feels oily at places and dry at others, pretty weird.
