How do I Improve my skin?
I have pale translucent irish skin, purple bags under my eyes, and razor acne on my jaw/chin
>>36890313
bump lifting won't help
>>36890313
Tan, get more sleep and use preparation-H on the bags under your eyes and let your beard grow out a bit look at the direction of the grain and never go against it. Let me guess raised by a single mother?
>>36890506
>direction of the grain and never go against it.
what does that even mean? Yes I was raised by a single mom.
/cgl/ regularly has excellent hair and skincare threads
Check those out instead of /fit/
>>36890518
Shave in the direction your beard is growing
>>36890606
Agreed /cgl/ is where you need to go. Facial hair tends to lay down in a certain direction ie: grain like wood. For example mine above the jawline grows in a generally downward direction therefore I shave with the grain going from cheek bones to jaw in slow smooth motions. My neck on the other hand grows upward toward my jaw so to prevent razor burn I shave upwards from Adam's apple to jawline in short smooth motions.

no i was raised by a father who taught me nothing
>>36890313
buy an electric shaver, don't shave all the way to your skin, leave some stubble
moisturize at night, before going to bed, wash it off in the morning
pale skin is fine, don't tan, you'll look like a peasant. Pale skin = royalty
Tan skin = farmers, construction workers and niggers
bags under eyes = get more vitamins and sleep
also put vaseline/moisturizer on your eyebags before going to bed, i dunno why but it helps. Tyra Banks recoomends this.

>this meme
Tanned skin is universally more attractive nowadays, you serf.
>>36890716
>Tanned skin isn't disgusting
it's not the 90s anymore
we aren't falling for that shit again
>>36890716
shoo, shoo, skin cancer goblin
>>36890758
he'd look even worse with pale skin
>>36890758
this looks like it was applied out of a bottle
>>36890506
Sun damages the skin. Tanning would only make his problem worse
>>36890779
Actually he looks like he'd make a bitchin vampire dracula style
>>36890758
if you're pale, and want to stop being pale, your options are to tan or use tanning lotion
>>36890791
This. Never use tanning lotion. That shit made me look like I had jaundice.
>>36890313
>wash with lukewarm, not hot, water
>avoid dairy products, cheese, yoghurt, etc.
>avoid sugar and fatty snack foods or any processed meats
>avoid white potatoes, breads and starches and eat root vegetables and greens and fruits instead
>use non-comedogenic soap, shave cream, etc.
>do not shave against the grain of your beard and don't press down too hard
>i basically have your same ginger skin and ancestry
>>36890742
i miss all the orange people with their funny new jersey accents
getting a bit of sun is okay, but actually looking "tanned" like some sort of shade of light-brown is nasty and unhealthy, just looks dirty
>>36890873
>>i basically have your same ginger skin and ancestry
Shit sucks when you're not a ginger but have pale skin. I also have dark blonde hair. I literally look gothic whenever I wear dark clothes.
>>36890313
put tea bags in your bath water
>>36891010
>getting a bit of sun is okay
if you want to age faster, sure.
>>36891016
Can confirm, blond haired but was called red head once. Mostly Irish
>>36890873
need citation on this
>>36891041
ginger here. it sucks. be responsible. dont have ginger kids.
>tfw live in vancouver
>50% asians here
>chinese girls use "sun-brellas" to avoid the sun and get whiter
i always get compliments on my pale euro skin, feels good
>be black
>will age better than you cave beasts due to natural sun resistance
>never have to worry about getting sunburned
It must suck to be allergic to the sun, the one thing that literally supports all life on Earth. I wonder how many (you)s i'll get from all the booty blasted cumskins itt.
>>36891062
Not having kids but no one in immediate family is ginger
>>36891092
> black
>skin is worse at absorbing Vitamin D from sunshine
can niggers do anything right?
Not OP, but also someone with shitty skin. Do chemical peels work or are they silly memes?
>>36891112
no don't do chemical peels.
how is your skin shitty? is it acne? wrinkles? scars? hyper-pigmentation what
>>36891092
>implying you're even black
>>36891124
I don't have acne thankfully.
More like blemishes that won't go away, lots of big pores on the nose, redness of the skin, sun damaged uneven skin, etc. It's very visible in sunlight.
Skin products literally do nothing for my skin.
>>36891063
girl I knew went to china, she's 9/10 gorgeous.
but people made fun of her tan, like right to her face, telling her it's ugly. old ladies and strangers would give her tips on the street, like "oh u stay out of sun, make u too dark!!" lol
drink lots of water, take fish oil and use the sauna on the regular
>>36891136
>implying i'm not
>>36891142
you should moisturize every night with a good moisturizer, even if you had perfect skin you should do this, and leave it on while you sleep.
you can use Vitamin E gel/moisturizer to help regrow damaged skin and even it out.
for big pores and blemishes you can try taking high-dose vitamin A, it basically dries out your skin and shrinks your pores kind of like the drug Accutane. Take Vit A like 40,000 IU per day for a few months. see how it goes, take a month off and cycle it on again.
>>36891173
>what are unflattering angles/lighting
>what is makeup
Most black women are ugly anyway
>>36891188
>vitamin memes.
I've done all of that in the past and it did absolutely nothing.
I also clean my face every day and moisturize even though no results are showing.
Trust me when I say this, my skin is beyond repair. The only thing that would help it would some sort of a cosmetic reset.
>>36891189
Look at this begger being a chooser. You seem like a frogposter.
>>36891173
>black women are beautiful meme.
>>36891188
except pores dont change size, you fucking idiot
>>36891226
Aw did I trigger you?
Most black women look like men.
>>36891173
black girls are ugly to begin with, old age isn't as noticeable for them.
Like a retard losing a few extra IQ points, it's hard to notice
>>36891243
>except pores dont change size
you're not supposed to take that saying literally, it's about "appearances" you autist.
the point is there's a certain look people want to avoid, and that look is called "big pores", whatever the cause may be
Wow you guys are really sensitive when it comes to this race bait stuff. 4chan is definitely a place of insecurity and sensitivity.
>>36891293
Some guy basically said be black in a thread for skin advice for whites
>>36891213
have u taken a food allergy test?
when i got rid of Dairy & Gluten my skin became 10x better
>>36890313
Drink a lot of water, exercise, eat well, wash face with water
This is what I do and my skin is decent, could be better though so I would like to hear some others opinions
>>36890313
>Was a low-confidence, acne ridden 12-18 year old
>Discovered zinc and started using it
>Acne-free from 18-25 (current age)
>Suddenly, acne!
>It started in onesies, and two-sies
>Now I have like 5 active ones that I just popped
WTF! I already increased the Zinc dosage, and bought "acnetame" WTF else can I do?
>>36891350
>"acnetame"
lmfao, that's the equivalent of buying "weight loss pills" from a late-night infomercial.
get Vit D, 10,000 IU / day
Vit A 40,000-60,000 IU / day
keep ur zinc around 20-50mg/day
if that doesn't work and ur acne persists just get accutane.
what have u changed recently, eating anything new and different? fapping too much? taking roids?
>>36891350
just go see a doctor god damnit.
Or do you live in the "land of freedom" where people can't afford to just go see a doctor
>>36891062
I wouldn't mind being ginger if it wasn't for the freckles. Being pale is fine with me, I just want even skin tone
I used to be like anons ITT I used to have an elaborate routine of taking care of my skin, and stuff. Wash 2x a day, exfoliate, etc.
Then I was walking home one day and saw this homeless dude asking me if he could spare a dollar. This dude dont watch his diet, lives out in the dirt in the streets, at the sun all day, and probably took a shower a few weeks before, probably dont take care of himself like i did
But the homeless dude's skin is acne free and even toned as fuck. So I sort of just ignored and abandoned all those routines and products. A few weeks later, I was acne free and have better skin.
I am willing to bet a lot of you ITT are just vain, spazzy, stressed out fucks and those qualities manifest on your skin due to cortisol.
tl;dr just chill out
but I am also drunk so dont listen to me
>>36891519
Live in a dry climate up here in the mountains so the only thing that is really necessary to keep from flaky skin is moisturizer. Hate the dryness
>>36891519
>i saw one homeless dude and he had good skin
it's called genetics
>>36891519
Im no doctor but there is something to this "spazzy stress cortisol" thing he's talking about
Exfoiliate twice a week, cleanse every day, moisturise afterwards
Get more sleep, drink less coffee
>>36891519
acne is related to genetics you dipshit
>>36891111
>sun is god's GNC
>>36891321
I'm not allergic to those things. I've done a keto diet before and my skin remained the same.
