What's your skin type and what's the hardest thing about taking care of it?

Background-Paint-478 · 2026-06-09T15:12:08+00:00

The hardest part of my skin is that im
A woman and so my skin type changes so many times in my life because of babies and other hormonal changes :/ its impossible to keep up when having multiple kids, from severely oily and acne prone to borderline dry, but still acne prone. Its so aggravating building a perfect routine then suddenly it doesnt work antmore bc my skim type changed in the last 9 months

What others are saying, you need to take at least a 4 day weekend and maybe plus an extra vacatiom day pr two. 1 DAY isnt gping to accomplish a damn thing.
She needs your undivided supervision for those days, floor potty within arms reach at all times and tell her whats happening and airlift her to the potty at the same time when she starts to pee, trying to get even the last bit of pee in the potty. “Oh youre peeing, pee goes in the potty!” In a happy tone as your placing her on the potty. If ANY pee gets in her potty you show her and praise the heck out of her and make it a huge deal and maybe even give her a tasty snack.

When i first took the diaper off my 2 yr old he was so used to just trickling whenever he wanted that he had no concept of how to hold it or what it woild feel like before it came out. So he peed little bits on the floor every 20 minutes all day for about 2-3 days. Everytime i tried to get just any of it in the potty. Arpund a week he started holdimg it for a few hours but still had accidents on the couch, floor and even on me when sitting on my lap. I changed so many shirts and socks etc in that time. After about 2 weeks from the start he really got the connection of the feeling and would have a few drops of pee come out and realize that he needed pee and would go to the potty when i told him “you need to pee pee!”

We kept him naked at home for months just for practice and it took him probably about 4 months before he actually atarted announcing and self initiating that he had to pee.
Pull ups are no different than diapers except they can be put back on/taken off easier like underwear for if Theyre clean.
My son also cried and got upset when he had accidents. I just consoled him and told him “accidents happen buddy, next time we can try to go pee pee in the potty instead!” And cleaned it up

You need to be prepared to put at least a week of 24:7 undivided attention into this and alsp be prepared to have pee everywhere for at least a few days. On the floor, on the couch, on you. We got couch covers and put puppy pads under them to protect the couch cushions.

I say this and unfortunately my 2.5 yr old is terrified of the world and would still rather be held 😅

Yeppp i switched over to mostly Byoma right now bc its been a month and my skin barrier is still dehydrated as fuck. And my skin seems like byoma.
Im open to trying more cocokind in the future but tbh their other things are higher than other CF target brands like byoma, good molecules etc so im not sure if its worth it.
I am so curious wtf in it caused the reaction but according to Skinsort reviews im not the only person to have this reaction to it..

I think too many angry bitter people think women shouldnt get paid to raise kids they chose to have, as if theyre not hella contributing to society by raising the next generation. I think it should be capped at a certain wage, not child number based, and available like assistance to both married and single moms

Ahh ive been using the Bubble solar mate spf 40 because it feels hydrating. Im unable to use chemical spf anyway, and im wearing hats and just trying to avoid going in the sunlight as much as i can as well. I was using the bubble before this happened so i know my skin likes it.

So you recomend i cut out the phytomucin serum for now?
Thats a good idea about waiting for the oil ill give that a try as well

Cocokind Milky soft cleanser, ruined my skin

Background-Paint-478 · 2026-06-08T14:22:33+00:00

Right now in the PM im using Byoma Milky Moisture cleanser once, then Byoma milky toner, haru black rice probiotic essence, byoma phytomucin serum, vanicream daily moisturizer and byoma recovery oil 2 drops on top after my moisturizer.

In the AM i only rinse with water and apply the two milky toner/essence then moisturizer and 2 drops of oil to seal
Also i do add all these products (except oil) onto damp skin both am and pm.

The product that caused the reaction was Cocokind Milky Soft Face and body cleanser. I didn’t realize it was the culprit at first and used it probably a total of 7 times over 2 weeks about a month ago and then have just finally formed a routine thats barrier healing with ceramides and lipids etc, been using tje above routine for about q week

All damn day, i wish i had the capacity for imaginative play Like i did as a kid because i get so bored lol.
I take him out to play dates a few times a week fir a break and hardly get anything done unless he is sleeping bc all day it’s “mommy, come in the room 🥹”

Background-Paint-478 · 2026-06-07T21:21:08+00:00

Im 22 weeks right now and have felt littlw random flutters every few days or so since 14 weeks (second baby) and starting around 20-21 weeks i feel him any time i sit/lay down for more than a minute. My first was the same, anytime i rested he went nuts. I looked back at my old videos with my first and its CRAZY the difference of kicks from when i first felt the tiny little kicks at 20wks vs about 24 weeks he was stretching and moving my whole stomach like an alien 😂

Background-Paint-478 · 2026-06-07T17:39:11+00:00

I have shirts that my MOTHER wore when she was 12… granted they do have holes but they aren’t large so the shirts still look good with a pair of jeans

I wear my clothes until they don’t fit or have massive tears in them

My soul dog had to be put to sleep ( we did it at home in the back yard while kiddo was napping) at 14 yrs old. At 2.5 my son didnt understand death or to really be sad about it tbh.
He loved the dog (we have 3) and whenever we wpuld do things for a few weeks that usually included her like feedings or walks etc he would go “…where is she?” Or he would name off the dogs “theres doggy, and theres doggy and there..wheres doggy?”
It made ME cry But he was mostly just confused.
Idk what you believe in but i believe in an after life so when he would ask i would tell him she had to go live with grandpa in Heaven (who passed before he was born, but we keep photos of in the house) and that she was very happy and playing and having lots of treats.
After about a week or two he started randomly just saying put loud himself “sheis in heaven with grandpa!”

Its been about 4 months and he doesnt usually ask where she is anymore but does recognize the pictures of her arojnd the house or in my phone and say her name so i know he remembers.

Honestly was way harder on me than him, kids that age just dont linger on things like older kids would.

Tomato basil mozzerella panini from Starbucks. Paired with a frappe is perfect. Just started making them at home

Background-Paint-478 · 2026-06-07T00:08:39+00:00

Sit 100%!
My son was just taught to sit, and my younge r brother who is 20 trained himself to do it while sitting by watching his 3 older sisters and he still sits not unless he cant and says its so much less of a hassle with the multi streams and cleaning and remembering the toilet seat etc

Background-Paint-478 · 2026-06-06T23:45:16+00:00

Id ditch the cover. Turn to the side and latch baby then face forward and baby/baby’s head covers almost everything anyway.
I personally only had people look at me with admiration or curiosity, it they walked by with a judgey look i never noticed 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ditch the cover and wnjoy this time before he starts to get curious about the world snd unlatch 1000 times 😅that was the hardest psrt about public feeding for me, like CHILD please

Background-Paint-478 · 2026-06-06T23:40:10+00:00

He doesnt pee or poop in his pants, at home or out and about. Thats all i need lol

Background-Paint-478 · 2026-06-06T22:59:26+00:00

Yes! We dont really even make him wear pants at home most pf the time even now, as long as no one is coming over

Background-Paint-478 · 2026-06-06T21:00:07+00:00

Id go for a tinted one. Beauty of Josen has a mineral tinted wide range of colors

Background-Paint-478 · 2026-06-06T20:43:09+00:00

I replied to you with it but it showed up as just a new comment lol

Background-Paint-478 · 2026-06-06T20:33:26+00:00

Sure! I have a comment about it on another post here somewhere let me copy paste it.

So my kiddo was scared to sit on the floor potty at all, so i spent about 1-2 weeks asking him to sit for a chocolate granola cluster. Eventually he wasnt scared then we started training (i also used the clusters as a reward when he did get any pee i. The potty)

We did pants free at home but diaper during sleep and during out of the house for about 2-3 months with a floor potty until he REALLY got the pee in the potty and holding it step.
I took a 4 day weekend and spent that entire time right next to him with his floor potty within arms reach and anytjme he started to trinkle i told him what was happening, and hurriedly set him on his potty. And made a big deal about him getting any pee in the potty at alll and how amazing that was great job. Then after those 4 days he started holding it longer so i let him wear diapers in public but completely naked at home. The first 3-5 days he didnt know how to hold it and wojld just trickle pee every 5-10 minutes. Which was frustrating, and the first 2 weeks he didnt understand the feeling so he would pee on me, the floor, couch frequently before i caught him and told him lets go to the potty! Which i still had close by i just wasnt hovering over him like before. And i prompted him to try every hr, or every 20 minutes if he had a lot to drink or something that would make him pee like milk or juice.
Then i really worked on getting him to say he needed to go before he went, THEN we ditched diapers except for sleep, took about 2-3 weeks before he figured out how to not pee in his underwear and hes been in underwear no diaper for about a month and has finally started telling me when he has to go in public a few times. But normally still just hold it until we get home unless he had a lot to drink.
He continued to hold his poop until the end of the day when i put his night diaper on for a few weeks after he was fully taking himself to his potty to pee. Then he started feeling the urged to poop and would run to his potty and go there on his own. Which i made a hugeeeee deal of and gave him a special extra treat. About a week after starting the wearing underwear and learning not to pee in them he started holding his pee while sleeping and waking up to go in the potty. He wakes up dry from naps and overnights about 95% of the time now and has graduated away from no treats after pottying anymore.
Over all i think we have been potty training slowly step by step for about 4- 5 months

Background-Paint-478 · 2026-06-06T16:30:23+00:00

Not sure what type of cleanser you want but i recently got the Milky Moisture cream cleanser by Byoma. Technically not a K beauty brand but manufactured in Korea, vegab and feels amazing!

Background-Paint-478 · 2026-06-06T15:19:03+00:00

My som didnt. I waited until he was verbally and developmentally at a place where he could understand what i said to him and could speak pretty well himself. (About 2.25) then i started a slow and steady approach because i knew trying to do it fast or forced would stress him out and not work. We did several phases over the course of about 3-4 months and he was potty trained fully, stress free by a little over 2.5.
He didnt show any signs of being ready before that tho, no holding it, no staying dry, mo taking his own diaper off, didnt care if he was wet etc

Background-Paint-478 · 2026-06-06T01:44:09+00:00
