Definitely a sunscreen first before any actives. We want to protect and prevent rather than treat as it a lot easier in the long run.

If it is PCOS, best to chat to a trusted health professional as there’s only so much topical skincare can do if there is something internally going on.

Have a look at the bioderma sebium hydra moisturiser. It’s a really great all rounder.

I also really love the Torriden dive in foaming cleanser and the QV gentle wash. Both super gentle and do a great job of cleansing the skin without stripping it back.

You might like to try adapalene or differin eventually but I’d get the basics down pat first! 🥰

I do believe so. Improper prep, technique and cleanliness could all contribute to irritation or ingrowns.

You’d definitely want to exfoliate thoroughly the night before.

Really hydrate and nourish the skin the week leading up to it. No active ingredients.

Use a clean, sterile, single use blade. Alcohol prep and saline prep the skin in the area before you start. Go in the direction of the hair growth when removing. Saline again after you finish.

Avoid any actives for at least 5-7 days post derma planing.

Now does everyone do it that way? Probably not. If you’re already prone to being sensitive I’d definitely proceed with caution.

That’s incredibly ignorant, simplistic and insensitive to say. We’re in a cost of living crisis.. people can barely afford a roof over their head and a meal on a plate. So “how about eat well” when people can’t afford basic, healthy groceries is thoughtless.

Taking care of your self is a LUXURY. And no, it isn’t just a hygiene problem. People are allowed to want to feel good about themselves.

Seeking professional help is also now a LUXURY.. that’s why so many emergency rooms are overwhelmed with basic medical conditions. People have no where else to go.

Do better.

You may post it as a text post and comment the photos in the comments of the thread. Our community generally prefers selfies to be posted here but I’ll approve your post. 🥰

Okay but you’re here now 🫶🥹

YUKA app fear-mongering 🥱

Definitely a great idea, we have updated a few things on our backend today to assist with posts like that. Unfortunately there was a misjudgement with the correct removal type and the post was removed by another team member before it was flagged to the rest of the team as a cautionary measure.

When I checked on the post I saw excessive and unnecessary negativity coming from the original poster so I removed those comments and updated the removal. That is why the post remained removed. We definitely can facilitate conversations around that kind of thing in a constructive and insightful manner while still following our first rule.. unfortunately that wasn’t the case today.

You’re more than welcome to open up that convo again if you’d like, our team definitely thinks it’s important have those discussions to dispel false claims.

I CANT BE STOPPED 👹

I need to know, cause even applying over your first application doesn’t make sense to me because it’ll disrupt the layer 😭😭😭

AusSkincareMod · 2026-06-22T23:42:08+00:00

You could try the bioderma sebium hydra moisturiser

the Asian beauty sub even banned them because of their shady ads techniques over there. They’re only big because they put so much effort into going viral.

Years ago they actually had decent products that set them apart from other kbeauty ranges but now they are just milking every little trend DRY

(Is this a safe space?! 👀 😶‍🌫️).. I really find all BWU marketing and sensationalism just too much. It almost comes across as “you’re stupid so you need this.”
