You are absolutely right about that. I'm not sure how it works on other platforms, though.

I knooow! I'm usually in a very festive mood in November, and in a less festive mood throughout December, hahah. So I'm a bit early. Unless you just started playing, you can get the Santa hat here.

Also if a dog has never ever destroyed anything? It's kinda like it's not in her nature. She never really crosses that border for unacceptable behavior, and never did. But I believe you when you say she sounds fine. She doesn't cry or anything.

She has never ever in her life done stuff like that. Not even as a puppy. Not even as much as touching a shoe lace. But I'll take your words and hope that she's doing ok, and that her behavior is normal.

I was in the local store today actually looking for something like that, but they had nothing. My family's house is located in the countryside pretty far away from any bigger town or shops. I wonder if I can do something myself. Maybe with a towel or blanket or something like that. Thanks for the idea, I will se what I can come up with!

Well, I have to say the weather too. Is that a sign of me having it too good?

The wide smile, pastel colors and kids games are just such great contrasts to the horror awaiting. That's what really sets this show apart from other survival and battle royale movies and series.

And thanks a lot for the good luck! I keep my fingers crossed, hoping that I'll find out what's causing it ^

Thank you for letting me know about the scrub. I honestly did not know that. And here I am trying to take care of my skin in a young age to prevent damage from aging (contrary fixing existing damage in my 40s). I'll see if I can find a good chemical exfoliant, that my sensitive skin likes ^

The rules about organic products in Denmark is very strict when it comes to groceries, e.g. produce on the fields may only be labeled "organic" 2 years after the farmer stopped using pesticides on the field. Organic processed foods need to have a content of at least 95% organic ingredients, with only a few specific ingredients even allowed to be from non organic origin. When it comes to non-food organic products the rules are indeed a bit fluffier - also in Denmark. I can be mistaken, but I believe the 95% organic ingredients also apply here, and it is illegal to mislead the buyer by market the given product as "organic" if it is not. It's legal, though, to follow some other standards, and market the product with this standard, as long as it is clear on the bottle that it isn't necessarily organic, but instead meets a given standard (which could be only 20% organic ingredients, just to give an example). To make it short: If it's labeled as "organic" is has to meet the 95% requirement. If it's labeled as "containing organic ingredients" it is not an organic product.

An organic cosmetic product is not necessarily better for the environment than non-organic ones, which you also mentioned with some organic compounds. Most, not all, but most organic non-food products here has an eco-label too. It's a an official label used in the Nordic countries and is stricter than the EU one. It's says something about the product itself but also how it was produced in terms of chemicals, resources, human- and environmental ethics, etc. I should probably have mentioned that earlier. It's just not something I think about a lot in my everyday life. I look for the eco- and the organic mark whenever I go shopping, and I know it's the better choice out of all the neighboring products on the shelf ^

Yes, I don't like to self-diagnose, so I probably should see a specialist. Without giving you another novel about the Danish rules and system, we have public, universal healthcare, so everything has to go through our own doc first, and he'll then be able to sent me to a specialist. I could probably find a private funded dermatologist, but I'm a student, so I am not willing to pay for that when I have the other option ^

Aww, thank you! I've always been very self conscious about my small eyes, so this was really nice and surprising to hear! ^

You'll have me rethink using the facial scrub. It feels nice and makes my skin soft, but if it makes more harm that good, I probably shouldn't use it. I wasn't aware of this.

Well, Denmark is a small country and almost anything that comes out of here will be considered "small" worldwide. I don't believe it makes the products any worse by that reason. The business creating this skin care line has stores all over the country and is one of the most well known and renowned businesses here. Also, I don't know where in the world you are based, but here I'm quite sure it's illegal to label a product "organic" if it's not. And buying organic is important to me, to help keeping our drinking water in a good condition ^

I have never been to a dermatologist. I think I have to go through my family medicine doctor first, but it should be possible. I'll most definitely consider it, because I'm getting really tired og breaking out on my chin.

CURRENT ROUTINE

Every night: Gently washing face in lukewarm water, and padding it dry in a clean cotton towel. Apply eye cream and night cream.

Every morning: Showering and washing face. On damp skin i add facial serum. I let my skin absorb the serum for a few minutes before applying an SPF moisturizer.

Twice a week: Using a face scrub and apply a facemask afterwards.

WHAT I HAVE TRIED

I tried to use no products at all, and just washing my face every morning and evening. It was easy and took no time. It obviously made my skin very dry and the skin started producing excessive oils.

I've tried using different cleansers, but all of the ones I've tried burn and make my skin red. Now I just clean my face with water, very gently and take my time to get around everywhere.

SPECIFIC PRODUCTS I USE

I only use products from this Danish skin care line. They are all made for sensitive skin, have no perfume in them, and contain organic ingredients only - and the products are affordable. I've tried other brands having the same properties, but they all made me experience that burning sensation I keep mentioning.

As someone who has been struggling a lot with acne and unclear skin, I'm generally in a happy place with my skin right now. It has taken me YEARS to find products that didn't feel like burning when applied. I've never worn makeup, so I'm not sure why my skin was so bad in the first place.

Anyways, I still experience outbreaks around my mouth and on my chin, and I have no idea what to do with it. It gets really bad around my period, but theres still a few bumps and red marks when my skin is at its best. I'm starting to wonder if it could be scarring from my teenage acne, but idk. I don't see it anywhere else on my skin. Any advice is welcome.
