How important is it for my daily moisturizer to not have alcohol in it? I'm trying to find a daily body moisturizer that's at least SPF50 and fit for sensitive, very dry skin. I have no idea where to look and desperately want to prevent my skin from turning into Arizona leather. I'm pretty high test, and I work outside, so my skin has been degrading considerably with each passing summer.

>> No.13341116

>>13340811
Don't worry about finding a body moisturizer that includes spf. Imo, your best bet is to use body lotion and then layer a sunscreen of your choice on top. As far as alcohol goes, it's not an ideal ingredient. Eucerin has good body lotions that don't include it.

Get SPF30, the numbers are misleading. 50 is only 1% better at blocking UV rays than 30.

Last thread I talked about 1 and a half month of not washing my face with anything but cold water and how it helped immensly, was practically acne free for the last 2 weeks.

I also mentioned trying to throw in an exfoliator or peeling around once a month. BIG MISTAKE.

Shampoo contains chemicals that help emulsify lipids and remove dirt, as well as dead skin cells.
If you use it every day your hair and skin will dry, cause irritation and it will shed (scratching, blowdrying and combing will make it worse)
You don’t need to do that no shampoo stuff for long periods either, accumulation of waste and oil will clog pores and irritate too. Just use it 2 to 4 times a week, if possible the days you decide to exercise.

stop using the sponge. nearly all kinds of reusable washing/scrubbing products like that are breeding grounds for good & bad bacteria and fungi, since they're always wet and get fed skin residues every other day. those kinds of products are great at spreading, and forcing, shit into your skin. if you have active infections (i e ordinary body acne) the sponge is great at spreading it everywhere. even if it didn't do this, it wouldn't be of much use at all.

key is avoiding insulin spikes (high GI foods) and dairy, due to its endocrinological consequences. eating like a milk-intolerant diabetic seems to be golden, given the research. less animal fats and and more vegetable oils (high linoleic acid, PUFA) helps. diet has repeatedly been demonstrated to affect sebum composition (and acne). the "drink water" part is just about not drinking sugary stuff.

even though AHA is great for pH control, something like benzoyl peroxide 5% is good for body acne. I would just apply it in the evenings, and possibly sleep in a t-shirt, since it can bleach all kinds of clothes (incl. non-white bed textiles). you can buy these creams OTC. expect initial irritation and scaling. rtfm.

once that has been tried, an antibiotic/benzoyl peroxide combination cream would be the next thing to try. those generally need to be prescribed. if that doesn't help, then accutane is definitely an option given that it can be extremely effective even at low dosages.

I can attest to this.

I always had overly gassy and stinky bowel movements and thought it came from dairy.
Did some experiments myself, and cutting dairy barely changed anything.
But when I cut out all meat during lent and continued eating dairy there was no problem at all.

I think cutting sugar is a lot more important since it causes inflammation.
It's worth a try though, especially if you're not a white european.

>> No.13345695

>>13345689
Cutting out sugar is a big one, especially because it changes the bacteria balance in your gut. A lot of bad bacteria thrive on sugar instead of fiber, so if you have high sugar intake you can run into issues. Being gassy, having a bloated feeling in your stomach after eating, having diarrhea frequently, etc.

Refined sugar is especially hell on your skin and stomach both because of how your body responds to processing it. Having huge hormonal crashes from insulin dumping into your system isn't good in any way.

>>13346097
Everything I've ever read on the matter has stated that the fructose in fruit is metabolized differently along with its fiber compared to refined sugars. I've never had any issues eating a lot of fruit, and refined sugar will fuck my shit up noticeably in a week. Though I can eat a couple apples a day or a half pound of strawberries and it never has any negative effect on my skin.

What does help me is lifting consistently and keeping my sleep schedule super consistent. If you get acne from hormonal fluctuations those two things are two of the best solutions for keeping it under control. A consistent sleep cycle regulates your endocrine system.

Sulfate strips your scalp of all natural oils so your scalp compensates by producing more of them. When you switch to a sulfate free shampoo your scalp is still producing more oils from when you were using a regular shampoo with sulfate in it. Now since the sulfate free shampoo doesn't do as good of a job at cleaning your scalp the excess oils still remains in your hair making it super greasy.
That being said however I still think it's a fucking meme. Sulfate free shit always makes my hair look lifeless and weird to the touch. Just get a good conditioner to go along with your shampoo and you're good.
