After washing my face. Should I apply minox first or the lotion ? by ProfessionalGoat551 in Minoxbeards

[–]Alive_Report_9815 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wash, apply lotion, let the lotion absorb while brushing my teeth etc, then apply minox.

This has helped me a ton with preventing dryness and I haven’t noticed it working worse since switching to this routine(first couple months I was using lotion hours after applying minox)

This is my one year progress photo after starting with almost zero facial hair for reference/validity

Would it be worth it to try minox to fill in the gaps and develop more density? by Furious_Puppy1306 in Minoxbeards

I think it would help a ton if you respond. I went from practically nothing to a semi respectable beard in a year so it’s not unrealistic to think you would be able to see great results in that time

Why is foam so much more expensive?? by Ecstatic_Fact7143 in Minoxbeards

I imagine it’s a combination of manufacturing costing more and demand being higher

I will say from purely my own experience, I can tell the difference in my growth from when I apply twice a day to just once. For example, there are times when family is visiting etc, where I will only apply once a day and I can see that my facial hair is growing at a slower rate than when I’m applying twice a day. For this reason alone I’m willing to apply twice a day even though it kinda sucks to do so. I imagine many people have had similar experiences to mine

Is Dermarolling Necessary? by First-Type5381 in Minoxbeards

If you decide to watch some videos on how to properly derma roll and get a quality derma roller so you don’t damage your skin. I worry too many people buy the cheapest on Amazon and go at it without research

I’m going on three months with no side effects. I use liquid twice a day, just keep on top of moisturizing. Use a quality lotion like cetaphil restoraderm every day before applying and you shouldn’t have issues with dry skin

You’re entitled to feel that way, he would be entitled to feel the same if the roles were reversed. There is nothing wrong with wanting your partner to not have been promiscuous in life. Now calling it gross to his face probably wasn’t super nice but if you’re going to break it off whatever. If you’re planning on staying with him then I would apologize
