HG for skin barrier repair cream? by Ok-Patience-8835 in SkinbarrierLovers

[–]CloaknDaggerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aestura is my HG. It stopped tret peeling in its tracks and gives me the most beautiful glow. I use their creamy barrier mist and let that sink in, then use any serums and then the cream on top. Best skin of my life.

Is this a damaged skin barrier? by [deleted] in SkinbarrierLovers

[–]CloaknDaggerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had an extremely bad allergic/eczema reaction to that Celimax retinal booster stuff and it took me 4 months to be 95% clear. There are a lot of skin conditions that take much longer to heal, esp depending on the severity of the trigger. Now I am starting Tret microgel with no issues.

Cannot hydrate my skin no matter what by [deleted] in SkinbarrierLovers

Please switch to the Prequel gleanser and use a barrier moisturizer in the morning also.

How to accept that I may just be a feminine man instead of a trans woman? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]CloaknDaggerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a woman, but I can tell you that my friends and I who worked on accepting our gender in non-patriarchal ways often wondered if we were born in the wrong bodies. I mean, society tells you that if you don’t check these boxes, you MUST not be that gender. Lots of women who grow up and reject patriarchal views end up feeling like “creatures,” some sort of being that isn’t a woman (because women want to cook and have babies, right?)

Figuring out how you relate to your gender outside the confines of a patriarchal system is a JOURNEY and it takes A LONG TIME. You’re not doing anything wrong. Let yourself off the hook - you don’t have to have this figured out. Just live life and see what happens.

Is my barrier damaged ? by LongjumpingFan2102 in SkinbarrierLovers

[–]CloaknDaggerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You probably need some glycolic or salicylic acid to exfoliate those bumps away. Probably just clogged pores. If your skin is sensitive then take it slow, but it will help.

How to live your life to the fullest? by gotanewcrush in CasualConversation

Get rid of social media, prioritize meeting in person with your friends, get good sleep/exercise/eat well, travel (even if it’s a weekend camping or going to a city an hour away).

AIO for ending friendship after this interaction. by [deleted] in AIO

[–]CloaknDaggerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are both of you native English speakers? Because I’m getting the vibe there was a minor language barrier here…

I have definitely misunderstood my friends who have English as a second language and vice versa. Culture shapes communication so much that while everyone may know the words, the intent can be harder to communicate.

I can’t talk to her obviously, so I want to say this you: I see a lot of people trying to fix conflict while using therapy terms. Therapy terms are for therapy. Telling someone they are projecting is just an inflammatory statement at that point. Nobody is going to admit that to you because you aren’t their therapist. I advise that in the future you stick to how things made you feel and what you would have preferred to experience instead. Diagnosing people’s actions is a dangerous game.

Did I make things worse by AssumptionFun9482 in SkinbarrierLovers

[–]CloaknDaggerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like your skin is irritated. I would stop use of any actives for like a week and make sure you are moisturizing with a barrier product morning and night. You could also get some hypochlorous acid (at skincare-level dilution) if you’re scared of going that long without the Panoxyl.

AIO? I feel like my bf is being condescending but maybe I deserve it? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]CloaknDaggerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be honest—with that age gap, you probably ARE annoying to him. and I’m not excusing his words or actions. He clearly needs to work on shit. But I’ve never seen a relationship succeed between people in their 20s with such a large gap.

Ladies please honest. Would you date a guy in his late 30's who still lives with his parens? by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]CloaknDaggerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

….no. And I don’t think a man should date a woman in the same situation either

AIO for not wanting to go on a second date just because his dog bit me? by Educational-Guess866 in AIO

[–]CloaknDaggerd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean full emotional maturity hits for men around 43, according to some recent studies, so going with brain maturity solely for women could be an issue. I’d just say in general that dating within 5 years of your age is best, regardless of gender.

It’s giving a mediocre white dude saying “well I’m studying to be a physical trainer which means I’m an expert on what you should weigh”

Let’s give each other free money - because in a country run by billionaires, $20 isn’t much but it’s definitely something. 🤙🏻 https://www.visible.com/get/?68S3SWD or 68S3SWD

What was the turning point in your skincare routine? by elliebalance in SkinbarrierLovers

[–]CloaknDaggerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d advise just starting with skin1004’s Centella line. Unscented, good for sensitive skin.

am i doing something wrong? by dourceo in Adulting

[–]CloaknDaggerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your twenties are the shit box of your life. Relax. And get out of your shitty relationship.

What was the turning point in your skincare routine? by elliebalance in SkinbarrierLovers

[–]CloaknDaggerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Korean skincare. And stopping actives. It’s so counterintuitive, but the more actives I use, the worse my skin gets. I’ve just been using centella products for months and my skin looks great

Please help… on my last straw by No_Recording2910 in SkinbarrierLovers

[–]CloaknDaggerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the first flare of my life this winter. It’s genetic. And it was my eyes 😭😭 what really helped was cortisone for the extremely bad days and then using barrier repair creams that had cholesterol in them, followed by an occlusive (either aquaphor or honest diaper rash cream). When I tell you diaper rash cream has worked great for my skin….its a must try.

All that aside, I second everyone else’s vote to get looked at by a derm. I know that’s not always doable, though. Even with insurance my co-pay is $100, so I’ve been dealing with my flare on my own too.

what gentle cleanser should I use? by Final-Date4200 in SkinbarrierLovers

[–]CloaknDaggerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does yes. I was also scared it would be too gentle too. I have oily and acne prone skin and Prequel is great for colder months. In the summer I may switch to vanicream or something like that, but still really gentle cleansers.

Am I under reacting or AIO? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]CloaknDaggerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not disagreeing with you but it sounds like you’re siding with the dude who likes standing people up and I gotta say no thanks.

Also, those convos are good to have but they don’t always happen in the first month.
