>>11134756

>>11134971

>>11134756
>dont shower with really hot water
I wish I had the drive to kick this habit, but it feels too good.
>>11134971
man moisturizer is no fucking meme, take this shit seriously. It'll give your skin a protective barrier and essentially keep it nice and healthy. You really should use it in conjunction with a cleanser which gets rid of all the shit on your face on the micro lvl. So it would be cleanser then moisturize. Doing this for a few days could improve your faces complexion dramatically. Water is good for you in so many ways i cant even begin, drink that shit. Having a really hot shower though it feels amazing can to some have ill affects on the quality of skin, such as dry red etc
>>11134988
its alright if you don't have sensitive skin
What do you guys do against dark circles?
I have purple, veiny ones that won't get away. I've had them forever.
I'm wondering if it's caused by me being skinny or because I stare too much at PC screens.
>>11135044
well how do you pick out a good moisturizer then? i live in an area when shit products are the majority. Once I brought a hands moisturizer that gave me a rash.
Also could hot showers be the cause of back acne?
>>11135051
sleep/genes/ lack of food
those are usually the causes, if you clean up your sleeping pattern and start eating healthy they should lessen up.
>>11135065
You're right the vast majority are fucking horrendous, it sounds like you have sensitive skin so experimenting till you find one might be option. I have the same problem and i use a product called dermalogica which is by far the best stuff i have used. Top of the line shit. I'm not very familiar with acne. A hot shower could possibly aggravate it, i'm not sure if that would be the sole cause for it. Try washing your back more often and wear shirts that let you breathe
how can i get rid of acne scars on my back and shoulders?
also are these hard pointy-like spots on my skin, which kinda feel like healed-up pimples ( i really don't know how to describe them) a type of scar?

Hey bae
I have had the same problem with body acne for a while and tried numerous solutions. I've been having some success lately with cold showers as an anon suggested earlier. Google cold showers acne results and investigate the theory yourself. You may also want to start taking some supplements, notably zinc and vitamin d3. Alot of people are vitamin d deficient apparantly and i've only been taking it for a short while and seen some improvement. Note I have also recently stopped masturbating in attempt to balance my hormones and glands, so it's hard to isolate what is working and what isn't.
I'd also recommend sleeping on a clean towel every night and buying some standard creams or lotions that may work for scars - bio-oil may be worth a look (it's normally used for pregant women to reduce strecth marks).
I also have a similar problem with scars on my face as you describe and I'm trying to micro-needle them away and applying vit-c serum afterwards, though this is a long term venture.
anyone got any experience with having both dry and oily areas on the face??? really don't know to best handle both areas while not knocking one for the other
>>11135175
Thanks senpai, I'm going to try find some zinc and vit-d supplements to see if I can eliminate the last of my acne. I also tried the other solutions you mentioned throughout the years but I saw the biggest improvements after I started showering with cold water, made some changes to my died (less meat, more veggies & fruits, avoided gluten too) and most of all threw out all my regular washing powder and started using a bio-sensitive skin powder without any enzimes or fragrances.
Also, do you think that treating acne and scars at the same time could work?
>>11135175
About vitamin c
Do I HAVE to refrigerate it? or can I just put it in a dark place, Autumn is just about to come around here so it won't be incredibly hot, will it be okay or will it turn to crap?

Expensive moisturiser is a meme, yes, if that's what you meant.
>>11133989
Change your pillow cover often, or put a clean fresh towel over it EVERY NIGHT.
Helped me alot
I don't have acne anymore but I noticed something odd. When I had bad acne I tried all kinds of creams and the like and it got even worse, but I had the best results with splashing hot then cold water on my face three times a day. Could there have been a chemical or ingredient that exists in a lot of treatments that made it flare up so badly?
Can anyone recommend an Exfoliator for a dude who has never used it and has dry to normal skin?
