This shit is a godsend you guys weren't kidding
if anyone has any treatment tips or remedies for seborrheic dermatitis i'd appreciate
i've used topical shampoos and medication, only minor improvements, keeps coming back
>>11464850
this looks sus as fuck
Pls help me /fa/, met with a derm and was prescribed accutane, however it will take a month for me to start my course, however i'm going on holiday and will still have a fuckton of spots by then.
Is there any sunscreen that could double as a concealer to try and hide the spots? Any help at all would be appreciated.

where can i buy this. fuckin outta stock everywhere i look
>>11465035
Got mine from amazon
just been using a charcoal soap from lush and a vitamin c serum from 100% pure
pimples are smaller and my skin is beginning to get clearer in some areas, still have redness under my skin
hope the vitamin c helps out with that like some say
>>11465178
aight i cant use amazon since the shipping for me is crazy, found some on a local site, chur
I've just been using the Neutrogena Naturals cleanser (not the cream one) and moisturizer. Recently had a bit of a breakout but I'm on minocycline and benzoyl peroxide for that.
Trying this one out. It's not enough to touch the worse parts of my acne, but it makes my skin heal faster and makes bumps/redness go away pretty quickly. It'd probably flush out most everything but cystic acne but, well, that's what I've got. Trying some simple masks and spot cleansers for the big ones though.
>>11466947
Should add, I never gained a damned thing from salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, so this stuff doing anything at all is really huge. It does make your skin start peeling off in layers but they do it easily and what's underneath is just healthier.
>>11466947
>Reply
I bought a cleanser from then and it's made my skin literally glow/wrinkles shrink/sabateous filaments become less noticeable
>>11466974
Hasn't quite been that magical so far for me, but I started off with disaster-area skin so in relative terms, it's probably the same kind of improvement. I dunno, it's quality shit. But it's also the first thing I've really used that's a step above beauty-aisle supermarket stuff.
My acne has disappeared ever since I started taking cold showers daily. Otherwise I wash with a Cetaphil soap bar and then moisturize with Neutrogena lotion every morning and night. I still don't know how to take care of those red/brown spots under the skin though.
this stuff is noice as fuck, along with the toner. makes me feel fresh
New to this board, I had pretty severe acne, but I reduced it to moderate with the acne.org regimen. What's the general consensus on the regimen, is there anything better to get me clear?
how do i get rid of random breakouts and cold sores on lips?
>>11467298
I would try a high percentage staylic acid treatment for that
>>11467285
accutane, go to a fucking derm and get it. you will not regret it. dont let them take forever to give it to you either, let them know you want to go on it. it is gods gift to anyone with acne.
>>11467298
protip: dont have herpes
>>11467285
As a counter argument to the guy who said accurate; I personally suffered from what I would (and my dermatologist) describe as regular acne. I did not have deep scarring or severe acne, just what would be considered unattractive, but normal.
I used just the acne.org regimen and after about 2 months of twice to day I noticed a huge improvement and now only have the occasional blemish usually around my jawline from a hair getting slightly ingrown from shaving. If I don't shave I don't notice any blemishes.
Also I cut out dairy but for unrelated reasons, but it could have contributed to my clear skin as well.
Just my experience, but overall it will do the job well
>>11467331
Thanks for the input, did you use the other products like the AHA and Jojoba oil?
>>11467331
I've already taken a round of accutane, but the results were temporary and it came back after a year.
>>11467301
like pic related?
>>11467316
protip: over 85% of adults have herpes simplex type 1 (common cold sore)
>>11467356
85%? source?
>>11467356
You should definetly be using a wash, but I would also use something like this to treat it. I would also reccomend the acne.org regimen for overall treatment, I used to have horrible acne all around my lips, but that cleared most of it up.
I have pale skin around my chin and mouth, so when I get pimples, they'll leave this faint mark behind.
Will exfoliating help to get rid of these?
>>11467356
No, like a spot treatment. Clean and Clear has a decent option that you can find in a drugstore. Just put it on before you go to sleep on the first day you feel a pimple coming on and it should be cleared up within 12-24 hours.
In general you should be washing your face with a cleanser everyday twice a day. A toner and properly removing your makeup will do wonders for your acne over time.
>>11467298
If you're getting "random" breakouts and cold sores at the same time something could be up with your immune system. If you don't take birth control could be a hormonal thing too. Try tracking your breakouts in relation to your cycle. It's worth having your bloodwork looked at for a thyroid disorder or similar virus. Moderate your sleeping, eat well and exercise regularly in the meantime.
Also for cold sores, treat them with Abreve or Coldsore FX THE FIRST DAY you feel that you're getting a cold sore (the dry insatiable tingling lips). And put it on frequently. If you're just puttering around at home, keep your lips saturated with it. if you're out in public, apply a thick layer before you leave and carry the tube with you.
And throw away/disinfect (like cutoff the tip from) any lip makeup you've used with a cold sore. Unless you use disposable brushes It spreads it over and over again.
daily reminder to WEAR SUNSCREEN
30 SPF or higher and broad spectrum. Even if you only walk to class for 30 minutes a day...wear sunscreen! All the little bits of time add up.
>>11467750
daily reminder: Only wear sunscreen if you wash your face properly. the buildup isn't worth it if you don't care.
>>11467753
People who don't bother to wash their faces don't have the discipline to stick to a sunscreen regime either
I have some constant redness in the moustache area. Doesn't make any difference if I don't shave or do shave or how I shave. Have tried a few different after shaves, blades and foams, no difference.
Is there anything I could try?
>>11467298
can i lick your face please ?
I have very oily skin, and really big pores. What do I use for that?

Astringent, toner.
I struggled with acne for years and I'm finally starting to solve the issue, but I have dozens and dozens of blackheads on my nose, anything to propose?
I'd like to use Glossier Milky Jelly because I wanna be one of the cool kids, but I'm wondering if it's suitable for my skin or if I should stick with what I have.
My main problem is large pores after a long time of just not doing skin care. Not having a large budget right now to just go into Sephora and ask to throw money at them, I started using Accure Facial Cleansing Creme because it was one of the cheapest cleansers in Whole Body and said "pore minimizing" on it.
It's working to bring them back down, but I don't know if other stuff in the <$20 price range would work better, and like I said, I just want to hop on the Glossier bandwagon.
Is it suitable? Can /fa/ recommend me something better than either.
>>11464850
what does this thing actually do?
>>11464855
Your scalp might be dry, I got a shampoo from my dermatologist but it didn't help. Saw a huge improvement after conditioning with coconut oil
>>11469034
It's basically an industrial strength clay mask. On the plus side, it cleans the absolute shit out of your pores. On the negative side, it's ultra-strong, and - while I don't mind using it - a lot of the girls I've dated with fairer skin couldn't use it because it literally begins to hurt them or something.
>>11467298
Put vanilla extract on the cold sore when you start to feel it tingling
works for me
>>11469045
it certainly is dry but i don't think that's the main problem, my scalp has these gross scaly patches of skin that itches when it's too hot or when i sweat after exercise
also gets red and blotchy
>>11469049
>industrial strength
Sounds painful
>>11469049
is it good for clogged pores?
i literally have no acne but clogged pores up the ass
>>11469074
[spoiler]you're a big guy[/spoiler]
>>11469005
I own more than five different cleansers and the glossier one is one of my favorites 2bh. it's very gentle and my skin feels clean and soft after using it, so I imagine you will like it if your skin is oily. I think it's suitable for any skin type. I would also check out their clay mask, because they are generally good for enlarged pores/oily skin and I like theirs better than the Aztec healing clay mask.
Anyone have any opinions on Paulas choice?
>>11464836
How often should this be used, and how much?
>>11469227
I was asking about the aztec Indian healing clay
>>11469227
>>11469231
I wouldn't use it too often, it does make your skin pretty sensitive. Personally, I use it every other week.
What are your guys recommendations for cystic acne, I'm currently using Lymecycline for meds, and a gentle face wash.
Idk it seems to not stop, leaving scars badly

I have oily skin and large pores. What cleanser, toner, moisturizer and clay mask brands should I use? I'm also unsure how to incorporate the a clay mask into my routine. When should I use it, and how often?
>>11469802
Assuming money is no object
>>11469644
Vitamin C Serum is literally jesus for acne scars
>>11469802
I've been using Thayer's Witch Hazel Toner (Rose Scented) and I'm in love with it. I've got large pores around my nose and I swear by it.
If you have oily skin, I'd recommend doing a double cleanse with an oil cleanser (look it up, it's surprisingly effective) and then a foaming cleanser. Pretty much anything from Korea is safe to use because they know how to into skincare (I use Klairs for an Oil and Neogen's Green Tea foaming cleanser -- both of which you can find pretty easily on Sokoglam/Amazon)
Best of luck to you!
>>11469917
Thanks for the advice mate. Really appreciated. What do you think about clay masks and moisturizer?
>>11469946
Moisturizer is essential. I've never used a Clay mask myself, but some people in /skin/ swear by the Aztec Secret clay.
You can find anything, patch test it, and if it doesn't cause breakouts you'll be good to go.
>>11469946
You don't need a clay mask. Just buy a decent exfoliant (aka a chemical exfoliant, not physical scarring shit), use toner properly and get a moisturizer that works for your skin type. Clay masks are unnecessary and dry your skin the fuck out.
>>11469966
>Moisturizer is essential
Of course. I was wondering what brands are best. I figure something light would be ideal.
>some people in /skin/ swear by the Aztec Secret clay
Okay, I'll test that. I read earlier in the thread to use on a fortnightly basis.
Also, I don't know if this really applies in /skin/, since it's mainly about the face, but can I use coconut oil on the rest of my body? Is there some, better, alternative to coconut oil?
Again, thanks for the advice
>>11469977
>Just buy a decent exfoliant (aka a chemical exfoliant
Any recommendations? How often do they need to be used? Before or after cleanser/toner?
>>11467285
>acne.org regimen
Ive never heard of this before so i just looked at it. I thought benzoyl peroxide was bad if you actually wanted to treat acne. I could be wrong but i thought i read one time that its used in proactiv because it temporarily treats acne, but as soon as you stop using it all your acne comes back, and eventually your skin need more than the usual amount of benzoyl peroxide in order for the acne to go away
>>11470070
I've used proactive before, the difference between the two is that the acne.org regimen uses alot more bp. Proactive is built around a small amount so you continue to get breakouts and buy the product. It's true if you go off of bp your acne will come back, but you won't ever need more because bp creates oxygen that kills p. acne, so it will always work.
>>11470070
shit just never actually worked for me lelll
>>11469061
I don't think coconut oil will hurt
>>11470070
BP royally fucked me up. It left marks that took several months to begin to fade, and they're still visible. Granted I used one that was probably way too strong for me but it swore me off of it entirely.
I started using Tea Tree Oil with a carrier oil and it works just as well and doesn't open you up to the risk of red marks.

Paulas Choice 2% Salicyclic Acid is GOAT
Used after cleansing and toning, be generous with amount used, apply to a cotton makeup pad (not a cotton ball) and apply all over face. Don't lightly swipe your face with it, use a bit of pressure and apply it all over. Salicyclic acid is also amazing for stopping pimples from surfacing.
I've determined that my skin is obnoxiously sensitive. I'm still trying to find a toner that works; so far I've tried the pink booskin toner by Enprani and the Thayers rose water toner, but I have similar results with them; my face erupts into tons of pinpoint sized pustules after a few days. Should I even bother trying to use a toner? My skin seems to do well with what I've got so far...
>Cleanser: Glamglow supercleanse
>Moisturizer: Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Moisturizer
>Toner: N/A
>Sunscreen: N/A (Haven't found anything that doesn't break me out yet, could use recommendations on that too)
I have a peeling serum on the way which I'm hoping will help with my hyperpigmentation. On the weekends I use Cosrx BHA power liquid, innisfree jeju volcanic mask, and clean it zero oil cleanser to help with SFs and Blackheads.
Does anyone know of any concealer or a cream that helps with baggy eyes
Ive been catching up on sleep but idk theyre still there

>>11477336
I've been told Vitamin C is pretty good for it
Anyone try Paula's Choice toners?
Trying out refined coconut oil as a moisturizer. Patch tests have been good so far. It's also the GOAT moisturizer for muh dick
alright guys I've got pretty oily skin. To the point that most people think my face sweats a lot.
I break out pretty often (3-5 new pimples a week)
Constant blackheads and bumps other than that
I've been using Retin-A and a Salicylic acid wash once before I go to bed.
It hadn't really been changing much.
However, the last few days I haven't been showering as much, and decided not to wash my face either, and my acne is starting to fade, however I still can feel one or two new zits coming in on the most oily spots on my face
I'm confused on what my skin is actually doing and I'm not sure my dermatologist understands either
Anyone have this problem?
I assume I should continue not using the salicylic wash, but what else should I try?
im not sure what to do guys. never miss my routine, only drink water with the exception of one sugar free coffee. never eat bad, make sure to always eat 4 servings of vegetables a day. still suffer mild breakouts daily.
morning routine:
panoxyl (10% benzoyl peroxide)
moisturizing lotion
night routine:
.05% tretinoin cream
cerave renewing cleaner applied with exfoliating brush (every other day)
really don't want Accutane (for financial and personal reasons), what do?
>>11478703
maybe try
>>11478523
>>11478782
I've tried abandoning my routine a few times, it usually clears out for 2-3 days and then becomes substantially worse, even when i keep my diet in check.
Ok, I'm going to a concert on the 29th. Which is a little more than three weeks from now. What can I do in the mean time skin care wise? I don't have any money right now, so buying stuff is out of the question. I have a cleanser and a moisturizer that you guys recommend. They're not really good imo, but it's fine I guess.
My skin has a little acne right now and my face has some dark spots. I was wondering what can I do to improve my skin in less than three weeks. Even if it's the little things. Please help.
>>11478703
Just like you I was really against accutane but nothing I was doing was working. I went on the acne.org regimen and it cleared me up alot, I even got compliments from people on how it was clearing, I still have some marks but they are fading.
>>11478877
Wash in the shower for 10 secs, moisturize gently after. Don't touch your face. Make sure you get proper nutrition. If you can borrow it from someone, dab some concealer on the acne before you go out. There's not much you can do without buying some products.
>>11478886
im gonna check this out, thanks a lot man.
>>11469980
>but can I use coconut oil on the rest of my body?
Sesame seed oil.
>>11478936
Np just make sure you start on a slow dosage and slowly ramp up, I would also pick up the AHA and joboba oil. Make sure you follow the instructions and are really gental on your skin. Good luck
Hey guys my skin has cleared up a lot but I still have bumps from shaving. Could someone recommend something to help with this? I have added pic related in hopes of showing progress and also entertaining you guys.
>>11479015
>Sesame seed oil.
Why is sesame seed oil any better than coconut oil?
I have a nasolobial fold on only one side of my face. Not sure why, I'm only turning 19 soon. I drink a lot of water and such. I don't sleep on that side either. Is there a way to non-surgically lessen how deep it is?
>>11464896
I knew a girl who got put on accutane, and her skin is like anime-perfect, so don't trip once it gets crazy bad for a while. Sorry I don't have an answer to your question, I just thought it was worth mentioning since there might be a time when you don't think it's worth it, and it totally will be.
>>11479132
Use good quality new razors, and use a sensitive shaving foam, and moisturise afterwards. Simple
Doesn't look too bad in any case tho
>>11480208
>her skin is like anime-perfect
I don't have acne, but my skin is far from good. I wish I could go on accutane for a few months.
>>11480188
so much grease on ur face
>>11480287
It's not grease, this was after my nightly routine w/ AHA and vitamin E oil which makes my face shiny
>>11480208
>>11470578
cheers, appreciate it
>>11473089
makes little expression lines not very noticeable, good for clearing up blackheads apparently but what it does for me rather than clearing up is bring them to the surface so I can scrub them away. still good imo. also my pores appear tinier. it's a bit messy though and if you get it in your hairline it'll feel like chalk until you wash it out but i recommend.
>>11480188
what is your diet like? i had the same problem, i'm 25 and just recently i noticed that i had a fold on just my right side ( in certain lighting but still noticeable to me). i think it's a slow decline in collagen production and consuming a lot of sugar causes glycation which destroys collagen. i've tried everything topical though, but what worked most is honestly just cutting out bread and sugar, even super sugary fruit like watermelon and bananas. maybe for some people they can handle it but i notice my fold looks 10x worse when I have a lot of sugar. recently i noticed my skin looks tighter and i can barely see the fold even in atrocious lighting. i think it's worth a try. good skin comes from inside out as they always say. keep drinking water and up your vitamin A intake too. good luck
>>11480507
Fuck, not him but I've been blasting sugar like a madman, that probably explains it, thanks anon
>>11480507
Hmm that makes sense if it is correlated to sugar, I eat a lot of fruit :s I think the actual cause of it is I sometimes make a face like pic related with that side of my face. I'll try lowering my sugar intake and see if it helps at all, thanks man
>>11480514
but keep in mind there isn't cold hard evidence out there that sugar really ruins your skin but if you do a google search you'll read stories about people quitting and their skin looking like 10 years younger. plus tried it myself and its worth it.
http://articles.mercola.com/sugar-side-effects.aspx worth a read, though they don't say much about having better skin but when your organs are functioning normally i'm pretty sure your skin will just fix itself
>>11480541
it could also be expression lines, which the best diet in the world couldn't fix completely but they can reduce the appearance drastically at least. i do know it's normal for everyone to have a deeper fold on one side though so you shouldn't obsess over it too much. i've seen 6 year olds with crazy folds..it seems to depend on your nose/skull shape. still worth a try, i notice things change within a few weeks. it really fucking sucks though when you realize the things you once loved to eat you really can't anymore..and once you have it in what you think is moderation you just fall off track (at least for me). also..flatter stomach senpai. feels good.
>>11464896
accutane saved my life, lots of negative reviews but that shit cleared up my acne 10/10 would recommend.
Make sure you're using plenty of sunscreen though
Where do you guys buy your products ?

joyal vitamin c eye serum works wonders. are they dark circles or just bags? it's hard to tell from the picture.
But this shit tightens them up and it's pretty painful but works and I don't even need concealer anymore after years of having meth head eye circles. You should check out their other serums too

Dermatologypro's help needed:
I have sebaceous cyst things on my balls 1-2mm in diameter. I can remove the whole thing one by one with a razor blade with a little patience. My question is: will they grow back? I know for sure that if I only empty them with a needle they will grow back, and fast. What I am talking about is removing the little sac from under the skin, the cyst per se.
is this any good ?
How good are these for removing blackheads? I've been thinking about getting one but I keep hearing mixed opinions about them. Some people say that they're a godsend while other people say that they're terrible for your skin. I only have a few blackheads around my mouth that prevent me from shaving effectively. So I thought this tool would be best for me.
>>11480638
why not go to a doctor? I wouldn't risk any infection or accidentally cutting too deep, especially on your balls
Anyone know how to treat dark marks left over from acne? I have a pretty big dark spot on my face and it has been there for awhile.

They're tiny shallow cuts, not much worse than a shaving cut, just enough to push the fuckers through and pluck them. Alcohol everywhere before during and afterwards of course.
I know what a doctor will tell me: get laser for 50€ a pop (IIRC) with no guarantee they won't come back. For a couple dozen that's some money and effort just to make my balls look better.
I THINK I may have had the exact same shit on my forehead just above the hairline a few years back. Wasn't visible thanks to the hair but still made me anxious and obsessed as fuck. Scratched it to death for months until I went nuts and decided to scratch a hole in my head if necessary. There was a lot of blood until some sort of peel came out (similar to these cysts when they're empty, only bigger). Miraculously it didn't leave a mark or come back.
>>11481647
There's not much you can do. There are procedures that dermatologists do but it may cost a good amount of money. Besides that you can exfoliate it at home, but that's really it.
>>11481647
salicylic acid (stridex) or a retinol might help lighten your marks
Does anyone have any opinions on accurate? Is there anyone here who's used it or knows about it?
>>11482113
Cured my back acne forever, didn't kept my face clean after I stopped taking the pills. For side effects I got a bloody nose, dry lips and a deeper voice. I'm now taking a smaller dosage of Vitamin A and E, since my acne is pretty much mild now I hope that this will do the trick.
I use benzyl perozide(5 %) a gentle cleanser and a oil-free moisturizer. I dont got a lot of problem with acne anymore but i got some whiteheads and blackheads. What could i add to my routine to help with that? My skin is pretty sensitive btw.
>>11482487
5 percent does the same as 2.5 percent, but is more irritating. Switch to 2.5 and use more of it. Use a cleanser before benzoyl and moisturize after the benzoyl dries.

Too bad the last manufacture date is May 5. That shit's probably rotten by now.
What skincare routine should I be using if I have no major skin problems? I very rarely get spots (maybe one or two a month at most), my face isn't overly oily or overly dry and the only real problem I get is that my skin sometimes appears quite pasty.
Would a light cleanser, exfoliant, moisturiser and sunscreen be all I need, or should I still bother with face-masks, toner etc?
>>11483555
In my experience, if you have the gift of a good face, don't fuck around with it. You'll be spending money testing different shit with a good possibility of making things worse.
If you must, stick with one product and take your time if you want more. A sunscreen with added benefits would be best.

Best thing to clear up blackheads
What do I do to get rid of these?
>>11483542
If you keep your Vitamin C in the fridge and away from light, it can last 6+ months easily
>>11484795
You forgot bonerific
>>11485278
You cant remove your nose sorry bud
>>11484775
rosehip oil is a godsend. seriously. it worked for me for my hyperpigmentation. it takes a few weeks but i've definitely noticed fading more than anything else, even vit c serum.
when you buy it though make sure it's orange. it'll give you a yellowy cast on your skin but it fades away.
>>11483593
Explain more. Are they a grit like texture?
I REALLY don't want to go on Accutane again. It cleared up my acne for like a year and a half but it's back, but only on one side of my face. I use benzoyl peroxide daily. salicylic acid products make me break out even worse, adapalene works for a month then makes me break out even worse. How can I control my acne?
>>11485925
Diet? What do you eat?
>>11485938
Vegetarian, not the healthiest diet though. I generally avoid greasy or oily foods when possible. I do notice my acne gets worse when I eat shitty greasy food, but even when I avoid oil in food, the acne remains.
>>11485964
Do you Stress much and do you get any vital vitamins in you
>>11485972
I take a multivitamin, I have no doubt stress is a contributing factor but unless I quit life to live at a Buddhist monastery there isn't much to be done
This shit is a godsend it cleared up the blackheads on my nose like nothing else and improves my skin in general 100/10
>>11485278
Are you talking about pores?
Anyone have success with aloe gel?
>>11485925
If it's only on one side of your face, do you change your pillowcase/sheets regularly and avoid touching your face?

Haha funny and original have a meme friend
I have clogged nose pores and they're really noticeable.
Just now I noticed one of them looked loose and decided fuck it, im gonna take a pin and get this son of a bitch out of me
So I did. It was like 3 cm long and it felt disgusting knowing that shit was in me
I want to try again and get all of these fuckers out of my nose but am scared of doing some permanent scarring or something
Is this why cleansers and acids are doing shit for me?
How do I get rid/lessen visibility of sebaceous filaments? I used to use a blackhead remover tool but I heard it isn't too good for your skin.

Where is is best place to order C20? Wishtrend?
It seems shifty. When I clicked on free shipping it turned into $10 shipping, trying to Jew me. Also when I clicked oay with paypal it said that any information typed or sent could be viewed by a third party. Is this shit normal or is C20 just a bunch of shilling?
>>11486916
accutane is legit
ask ur doctor
>>11483401
Why not?
>>11483593
Look up closed comedone removal techniques.
>>11485278
Those are sebaceous filaments. You can look up techniques to reduce the size of your pores, but they aren't anything to be concerned about, it's largely genetic. Without surgery I don't think there's anything you can do to actually remove them.
Where is STHLM? the only good 4chan trip. :(
I've got a shit ton of acne scars on the back. Some of them are purple af. What is the most effective way to remove them? Laser therapy?

AM: Cetaphil mild skin cleanser & Nivea sensitive aftershave balm if I shave, otherwise usually cetaphil moisturizer
PM: regular water wash with cetaphil moisturizer
I exfoliate once every other day with regular niveau face exfoliation in those small little overprices tubes
I still get a lot of acne skin pimples on my chin and between my eyebrows and blackheads on my nose. How can I prevent this? What are some good basic products I can use to bring my face skincare routine to a higher level?

I change my sheets/pillow case very regularly, and don't wear make up. My skin has always been quite good (no acne, maybe 5 spots in the past 5 years), just trying to get rid of some closed comedones on my forehead and improve the softness and glow of my skin.
Will be working in an aha to use weekly, and am researching various masks and vitamin creams. My skin is really good now, but wondering if anyone has any other advice to speed up closed comedone removal?
Yo. Dunno if this thread is dead but I've been going without eating dairy or sugar for the past month and it's really cleared up my acne/skin. Just a suggestion if you're looking to clear up acne and you're out of options.
Anyone have experience with oil cleansing and if so how did it go?
>>11480798
Somebody respond to this. I absolutely have to know.
I don't need shit-tier answers like >>11483401
>put on break out free sunscreen
>work 8hrs
>go home tired and sleep
>skin feels like a babies bottom when I wake up
Wew lad, I'm a happy camper
As you can see I don't have any real issues with my skin other than the disaster that's my forehead. I wash with ceraphil, use thayers toner, and moisturize daily. My forehead can never seem to clear and smooth out.
I also have fucking warts on my forehead and theyve been multiplying lately, advice on that would be much appreciated
>>11467285
Im going to share my golden rules
>NEVER touch your face with anything
>avoid kissing caked hoes cheek in cheek
>clean your face with cold water every now and then to close your pores, dont use soap unless youre taking a shower
>drink a lot of water and stop eating freasy food
Havent had a single pimple in a whole year, except for that time i broke rule 2
Can someone tell me how the FUCK this shit can come out of my skin??
I wash my face twice a day, shower at least once a day, twice on gym days, lift three times a week, haven't had soda in a year, eat clean (literally all I've eaten this past month was chicken, rice, milk, and Broccoli), and drink at least a gallon of water a day. Why the FUCK won't it clear up?
I've already tried almost all of the meme routines: Cetaphil and water just makes my skin oily, stridex doesn't do shit but I keep using it because it's the only product that feels like it's doing something but dries the shit out of it , cerave moisturizer leaves my skin oily as fuck. I even tried the OCM meme which seems to manage my oil level, but only for a few days. And on top of that, every time I do seem to find a combination that works for me, my face loses its shit on me and starts breaking out again in a matter of days.
I turn 21 next week so I don't think it's hormones, the towel trick doesn't seem to work either. And when it isn't breaking out horribly, I have God awful PIH that makes me look like I'm diseased. What the fuck is going on?
I recently tried cutting out milk last week to see if that's what's aggravating it, but this morning I woke up and my face had started to break out again. When I got home after work, I started to work on some of my blackheads, when pic related came out of the most unassuming places on my face! I getting fucking sick of this!
Only thing I haven't tried is cutting out salicylic acid. I'm going to try that with a gentle cleanser and some witch hazel and sunscreen for the morning. Any suggestions would be more than appreciated. I just want my skin to look like Twigs'.
Best tip: go paleo
Just eat nothing but like fucking salad, celery, carrots, eggs, chicken, fruit, etc. No dairy, grains, beans, added sugars/gross shit (dextrose, corn syrup, etc), or nuts.
I've been doing this for 6 months now and haven't gotten a single pimple and haven't had to use concealer since I've started. I only wash my face/moisturize once at night before I go to sleep and that's it.
>>11491474
Here it is again at another angle
>>11491476
I'm only eating rice and fucking chicken man.
It doesn't help that my brother eats like shit, doesn't drink water, and his face is fucking clear as day.
>>11491480
Here's another money shot for you sickos who like this shit
>>11491474
Not sure about you're routine. Sounds like you need to pick one that has worked the most and stick with it. It takes time for your skin to adapt to new washes and stuff, and whike it does it will purge, bringing up more unsightly pimples and blackheads.
Also sounds like you need to change your diet. Try adding in more veggies, ESPECIALLY greens, as these will help to alkalinze your body better, and are packed with Vitamin A, which is a very important nutrient for your skin to heal and maintain itself. Also try adding in some eggs or fish, as these contain Omega-3s, which help halt and take away inflammation. You might wanna try not eating wheat, as this can be a key factor in outbreaks for some people (such as myself)
Good luck man. I hope my advice was of some help to you :^)
>>11491488
Yeah some people are just lucky. Each person is different when it comes to their skin, unfortunately.
>>11491496
More fucking memes man
I take fish oil and some of those hair skin and nail tablets (~3000 IU of vitamin A)
Aside from that, the cup of broccoli I have with every meal basically already covers most of my vitamin requirements
>>11491488
My diet is literally this:
Eggs Sunny Side Up w/ Turmeric Seasoning & Garlic Salt
Salad w/ Catalina Dressing
Sugar Free Applesauce
Lettuce Wrap w/ Turkey & Mayo
Veggie Chips and/or Tostitos w/ Hummus
V8 Green Juice
Carrots
Celery
Maybe Chicken/Steak/Hamburger (No Bun)
A Fuckload of Water
This is all I ever eat/drink. Nothing more, nothing less.
>>11491502
Have you seen any improvement after taking those tablets? Also how long have you been taking them?
>>11491512
I'm not trying to out hipster you man, I'm just saying that's all I eat all day every day, so I'm almost certain it's not my diet.
Like literally every day it's chicken breast and rice. Also it looks like you're not eating enough.
>>11491515
Surprisingly I have. Aside from my hair growing considerably faster (and curlier for some reason), my "full breakout mode" is much better than what it used to be. Overall skin quality has gone up as well. I most I'll get is a white head or two rather than the 20+ I'm used to getting.
>>11464850
do recommend
use 50/50 apple cider vin (the good stuff, like braggs) and water and your set.
only about a table spoon of each
and really cake it on, wash it off with a shower and a shave and you are set.
JUST DON'T ANSWER THE DOOR OR SURPRISE ANYONE BECAUSE YOU'LL SCARE THE SHIT OUTTA EM
Do it no more than once a week, ideally, twice a month. I find that it's a little powerful, so I use a lot of LUSH's facemask, but dollar for dollar the mayan stuff is best.
Full regiment is like;
>Wash face with morning shower, use clearasil Hydra-Blast
>if I shave, I gotta exfoliate, even just washing lower face first, but ideally scrubbing it with something, from facial scrub mask or even a rag
>end shower with cold water to head and face
>use l'oreal hydrablast toner
>then use a good lotion, one for the face and with sunscreen in it.
bonus use carmax for lipbalm, its cheap, and nobody will ever want to borrow it. its also very bright, so easy to find.
tips and tricks:
Stop touching your face. stop.
This is the best thing you can do for it. This will save you so much pain, and its easy to fix.
Like right now, half of the people browsing this have their left hand on their face, just rubbing it for hours.
That's gonna cause a lot of damage.
Rest your hand on the underside of your jaw so as to prevent the oily face your grace.
Ummm, i've heard pillow slips should be washed often, but I don't because I'm lazy and gross.
And finally, if you do pop a zit, which you shouldn't you should just blast it with salic acid medication
but if you HAVE to pop it, get it all out in as short of time as possible, all the pus and shit you can, its fair to say there will be blood. then, clean it with hydro peroxide till its white, then apply neosporin and band-aid.
its best to do this at night when you are going to stay home, as you won't want to be out in public with a band-aid on your face. its embarrassing but I've done it before.
good luck, hope i helped.
>>11467298
drink more water
get more sleep.
cold sores attack dry dehydrated lips when you are physically exhausted. thats always how it happens to me anyway.
>>11491516
Nah man my intent was hostile or anything. Was just trying to give you some insight or something.
And yeah I don't eat much. I just binge eat when I wake up then take Concerta 54mg for my memey ADHD, so I'm never hungry after anyway.
>>11480789
don't like it, only like their 10% acid spot treatment a couple times a day on bad zit.
>>11491519
I'd keep on with the tabs then.
What's your current washing routine like?
>>11491527
Actually, it's recommended to pop pimples. But ONLY if it's a full on white. Getting all the bacteria (white/yellow stuff) out means that the pimple can just start healing immediately, instead of having to deal with the pustule, THEN start healing.
What you're supposed to do is take a push pin or a needle or something and push it in through one end of the whitehead and out the other end. It's not painful at all, as it's basically dead skin. Then, do your normal washing routine and BOOM that shit'll be half the size and half the redness when you wake up.
>>11491548

don't see any real reason to post since it's not rewarding to provide people with help on a one-on-one basis, when I actually can get paid to do the same shit irl, while on here it's rare to even get a 'thanks'.
when the more time-effective sticky, meant to help many people at a time, isn't being reposted - it's hard to bother.

What do you use it for?
Is it normal for skin to be dry when you're starting to use a vitamin c serum? I have combination-oily skin but after ~a week of using vit c my face has been dry all over. Not flaky, just rough. My PIH has been lightening though so will I just have to double up on moisturizing or will my skin get less dry eventually?
I get like eyebrow dandruff, does anyone have any suggestion on how to deal with it? Plain old moisturising or coconut oil doesn't seem to be a solution.
howdy
I have a metric tonne of this shit lying around.
Is it an effective face cleanser?
got a breakout a year after i stopped taking accutane when i went to a construction site job for a week, how the fuck do i stop breakouts?
I already stopped eating sugars and diary, should i also stop drinking beer from time to time?
>>11495784
dandruff shampoo? I use Selsun blue as a cleanser for folliculitis and for dandruff in my hair. Try gentler head and shoudlers.
Shampoo is safe to use on your face (but normally there would be no point). it is drying.
>>11495784
Moisturise with coconut oil should work

Use sesame, sunflower, olive or coconut oil
personally love coconut oil for pretty much everything. It's pretty cheap, neutral taste and the healthiest options.

less salt, more water, cold showers
