Can I get a critique of my current routine? I've got weird skin (can be easily dried out, but is typically very oily).

Morning: Micellar water (bioderma), then Cerave moisturizing lotion (PM)

Night: Cerave foaming facial cleanser, bioderma micellar water, Cerave moisturizing lotion (PM)

I get acne that seems to be hormonal/drool related and nne of this stuff seems to help with that unless my sleep quality and hormone balance (limited fapping) is kept in check.

My arms and shoulders are super prone to breakouts, but I moisturize (with goldbond) religiously after showers. When I began doing this about a year ago, it cleared up about half of the problem, but the other half is really stubborn and won't leave.
Anybody know how to solve this issue? If I should use a special body wash, do you have recommendations? My face products haven't helped below the neck at all.

So I've been using Dove soap for years now and I don't think it's caused me much problems, as I have eczema. However, my acnes pretty bad, albiet it's gotten better recently due to using a cleanser again and adapalene. My friend told me that dove isn't technically soap, and that it clogs your pores and causes acne, even citing an article on it (basically a blog post). I'm wondering if Dove soap really is that bad, and what are some alternatives?

Exfoliate (I personally use bha) two to three times a week. Scrubs haven't done anything for me; they probably just scrape off dead skin. The morning after exfoliating though? Smooth nose for the rest of the week.

I'm one oily motherfucker and I'm not sure how to treat it. I'm a male in late adolescence and it's not uncommon for my forehead to look like pic related.

I was using some bullshit skin products for a while that were just dehydrating my skin and causing it to produce an unnecessary amount of oil.
I started to use a new skin care routine where I use a light cleanser and moisturizer daily (not completely sure how often to use either, I've tried once and twice a day for both) and exfoliate a couple of times a week.
However, this really hasn't been a solution. I've only been doing this for a couple of weeks and my skin looks much clearer and healthier but still greasy as shit.

What should I change? Have I just not been doing my new routine for long enough?

[Anonymous No.13133192]

>>13129519
I would recommend it. However, in my experience, it takes a lot of pumps to get enough lotion for your entire face. Considering it comes in a small bottle, it's a hassle to keep guessing at how much lotion is left (and if you need to buy a new bottle).

Also, it doesn't come with SPF. I personally like this aspect because the SPF irritates my eyes and I don't get much--if any--sunlight due to my job.

[Anonymous No.13133247]

>>13133182
Try using a hydrating toner. Only using a moisterizer just adds to the oil, but if you balance it with more water you will see a difference. Dehydrated skin causes excess oil to be produced, so keep your skin hydrated.

I just got done with month two of accutane. First month was 10mg, dermatologist recommended month 2,3, and 4 on 20mg. It hasn’t done absolute shit besides making my pores where I don’t have acne a little smaller and making me thirsty as shit all the time.

I’m washing my face at least twice a day, doing one peel off mask at least once a month, drinking more water than I should, moisturizing every morning and night, and I still can’t get rid of my cystic acne on my jawline and cheek.

for showering i've been using bar soap and a wash cloth since i was born

i literally never wash the wash cloth, i just assume it's clean I guess because of all the soap. i air dry it on a rail inside my shower, same with the soap

Use it with face wash. Also make sure to let it out to dry on its side. I have a clarisonic and used to always put it down face-up, only to clean it one day to find a ton of MOLD underneath the brush part. I didn't know you could take the brush and turny bits beneath it off, so be sure to give it a deep clean like this every few months.


>>13130427
Yes, they exfoliate much better because of the bristles and I think the vibrating helps gunk come out. You're only supposed to use it every few days at most - I personally use a konjac sponge to exfoliate every few days, and then use the clarisonic about once a week when I'm doing a deep clean spa day.
>>13129609
I can't vouche for whatever this is, but seeing a dermatologist will help better than anything else if your acne is severe. I had such bad cystic acne in high school to the point where I would cry about how hideous I looked :~( But then I saw a dermatologist and she gave me cephadroxyl pills with some creams and it cleared up pretty much immediately. If I went to one sooner I wouldn't have any ice pick scars to deal with.


>>13130688
It's probably too drying and is causing your skin to produce more oil which clogs your pores more than just using water. I use alba botantica pineapple enzyme face wash - Works wonders.

one good tip of advice is to stop using a cleanser with benzoyl or salicylic acid if you do because those are chemically melting your face, try doing a korean facial mask regimen for about 2 weeks, also try snail cream before bed and use Thayers Witch Hazel, the red bottle, maybe twice a day just splash it on your face.

The oils of life moisturizer is pretty expensive if bought from The Body Shop btw, I managed to get mine from TJ Maxx for just $5. If you can't find any at a TJ Maxx / Marshalls just find something else. It does last a long time if you do decide to go for it, I think I've been using my little bottle for about 6 months now. I used to use CeraVe moisturizer which worked fine if you're looking for something cheaper.

Also the AHA is from Paula's Choice as well. These are also a bit off-putting because they appear expensive but they last a long time and are an absolute must-have for acne / general skincare.

No one in this thread knows what they're talking about. The only way to get lasting perfect skin is to eat healthy and stop using products on your face, don't even wash it at all except for once every little while with spring water. That will get rid of acne and give you soft skin and a clear complexion. If you want to exfoliate you can use natural substances that don't dry out your skin.

Use jojoba oil. I also had very oily skin and that shit helped me. It is actually a wax and its molecule closely resembles the sebum of your skin, so when you apply it your skin has the impression that it is alraedy lubricated so it doesn't bother creating any more sebum on its own. Use 3 to 4 drops of the oil daily after washing your face (with preferably cold water, because hot water robs it too harshly of its lubrication). Apply it for 6 weeks and your skin will have gotten used to producing little sebum and it will continue to produce little onward. Avoid dry patting your face or washing it often. Constantly forcing your face to be dry is what makes your skin turn on overdrive mode and produce excessive amounts of sebum. That also means leaving the jojoba oil on your face without dry patting it just because you realize your face looks shiny again. It will do its job and you will have dry skin. Did it myself and its week 7 for me.

UV damages your skin, decreasing smoothness, enlarging pores, increasing colour contrast, and of course causing skin cancer. Direct sunlight has the highest UV levels, but even ambient indoor light has a certain amount of UV. Sunscreen every morning at the end of your routine is the best answer.

[Anonymous No.13148479]

>>13147405
Serums are products with a high concentration of ingredients meant to directly penetrate (and deliver those ingredients) into your skin. Antioxidants in skincare refer to products that help reduce/reverse the appearance the damage that occurs to skin daily through environmental factors such as pollution, UV rays/sun exposure, and any other sources of "free radicals". Yes, they do help your skin but depending on your skin issues/needs you'll want to choose a serum with a certain ingredient (for example, Vitamin C for reducing redness). As for order, serums would generally go after your toner but before your regular moisturizer. I strongly recommend looking into the Korean/Asian skincare routine, as well as doing a bit of research into 'common' ingredients in skincare products and what exactly they do for your skin.

Is so fucking wrong and is going to make your Stridex pads (or whatever chemical exfoliator you're using) next to worthless. You ALWAYS cleanse first, then apply products on top no matter what for maximum effectiveness, and under no circumstances should you be cleansing or washing off your exfoliator. It's a leave-on product. Washing it off basically defeats the whole point.

Start reading about fasting. Your body is intelligent and knows what's wrong, but it can only be allowed to treat the causes of ill health, and thus your acne problem, if you stop unnecessarily using bodily resources and energy by eating so often. By ceasing intake of food, you might be surprised how quickly you will find that bodily and mental discomforts, even mild annoyances, disappear. It's wise to remember that nature works in cycles, though, not overnight.

Regular sunscreen does, because it's sold to normal people who only care about not getting burned. Obviously don't put that shit anywhere near your face - unless it's midsummer and you're spending the day at the beach and you left your products at home. Oily skin is infinitely preferable to sunburn.

Ideally you want this routine:

>cleanser
>exfoliant
>moisturiser
>sunscreen

You have three cleansers and one exfoliant. Cleansers work by stripping oil from your face, you will be dry and itchy and your skin will start peeling off, and you will be extremely sensitive to sun damage. Get moisturiser, and sunscreen if you don't want your skin to age 5x as fast (you can get 2-in-1 moisturisers and sunscreens). Also, despite the name, don't scrub your exfoliant, always apply products as gently as possible.

Get:
1. A face scrub (use once every second or 3rd day)
2. A face wash (use every shower or at AM|PM)
3. A moisturizing cream (1-2 per day)

That's it.

What can i do? I'm using a cleanser and a 2% exfoliant at the moment but i don't see any changes. Also as a side question, how do i get my teeth whiter? they're basically stained a bit yellowish/darkish from drinking coke too much all these years.

Get some toothpaste that has a whitening effect. If you're already pretty bad off that's only going to help so much though.
You could get your teeth bleached, it's fairly inexpensive now and is going to get you the pearliest whites.

Do I still need to re-apply sunscreen if I only go out for 20 mins then stay inside for a few hours before going outside again?

[Anonymous No.13171123]

Do I still need to re-apply sunscreen if I only go out for 20 mins then stay inside for a few hours before going outside again? I read re-application for chemical sunscreens should be about every 2 hours but is that for 2 hours of continuous direct sunlight exposure? I am guessing when you are inside a building or during cloudy days the sunscreen starts losing its effectiveness much slower, right?

Have you actually tried just gently cleaning your face with warm, not hot, water and applying a tiny bit of a good moisturizer afterwards two times a day for like a month? If that doesn't help you should definitely visit a dermatologist.
What you are describing, blackheads and being oily as fuck, sounds like your skin is desperately trying to recover from you torturing it by being way too rough and using a lot more product than you really should.

>>13165348
AHAs and BHA have shared benefits. They both

-diminish the look of lines and wrinkles
-make skin look and feel firmer
-hydrate
-improve the look of dull, uneven skin tone
-smooth out rough texture

AHA: works on skin surface, water soluble & generally preferred for normal to dry, sun-damaged skin, due to their ability to enhance natural moisturizing factors within skin and are effective in reducing the visible signs of sun damage.

BHA: works on skin’s surface and inside the pore; it’s oil soluble, so it’s most often preferred for normal to oily skin prone to bumps, clogs, blemishes, and enlarged pores. BHA also has natural skin-calming properties, so it’s gentle enough for sensitive skin prone to redness and/or rosacea even suitable for skin prone to milia.

>>13165366
you should use that on your body, try getting a Cetaphil or Cerave moisturizer

>>13169850
you should exfoliate (blackheads) and use products meant for oily skin
such as cleanser then moisturizing your face, use a good moisturizer meant for your skin type also try sunscreen these products will add the correct amount of oil to your skin. Watch what you're eating too.
