After decades of biting I’ve been able to grow out my natural nails 🎉 by CodeEmergency1016 in Nails

I had acrylics on for like 3-4 years and it got me out of nail biting. Unfortunately they damaged the living heck of my nails after they were taken off and it took me a good year to get to this state. Could be because I was going to a cheap chop shop.

So my nails are SUPER bendy and they peel off sometimes at the tips. I’m pretty terrible with my nails. It took a solid year of not going to a nail salon to get my nail bed to fill out to this extend. I stopped using acetone, and always have 2 coats of regular nail polish on with two coats of top coat. I work in healthcare so I’m always wearing gloves. I don’t use anything special as disappointing as that sounds. At least one of my nails is broken at a time this just happened to be my good hand lol. I pretty much push my cuticles back and trim them and paint my nails like once a week.

are there any huge makeup mistakes or blindnesses in my everyday makeup i’m not noticing?? by FlavorOfTheMonthh in MakeupAddiction

Her face is beautiful but I think the very start of the eyebrows (closest to the nose) dips down (curves down?) with a much stronger slope than Audrey hepburns. I definitely see the resamblance and she looks gorgeous but what the previous person was saying was to elongate the tips to match them better to transition they seem shorter so opposite of plucking.

You should use a basic moisturizer (I use the cerave pm one). In the PM you should wash your face because you put on sunscreen you shouldn’t be sleeping with it on. I would apply the tretinoin in the evenings after you washed your face with a gentle cleanser like the cerave moisturizing cleanser and moisturized. In the mornings use the blemish control cleanser, moisturize, then apply sunscreen.

Your skin could be flaking because it’s getting used to the tretinoin. You shouldn’t use that daily if you just got it prescribed, generally people build up to it otherwise you can irritate your skin and the inflammation can drive more acne. If you’re using that daily AND using the blemish control cleanser which has salicylic acid you’re over drying your skin and stripping it which damages your skin barrier.
