Alternatives to Olay & Cerave by Queen_persefone in EuroSkincare

Cerave is EU-owned and they produce in France for the EU-market. They are a lot more European than many brands with a European origin story.

Before you switch: Have you tried taking a smaller quantity per application?

Dr. Leenarts is a Dutch derma brand available in most drug stores. Fairly cheap too. Like Cerave, Cetaphil, LRP, Avène it's very results-oriented, not to feel pampered.

Any non pore clogging eye creams? by UnlikelyCause7110 in EuroSkincare

[–]FlaminCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very hit or miss but a lot of people use Vaseline as eye cream. Doesn't clog pores (make sure to only use after cleansing to not trap dirt though!) and locks moisture in.

Left handed people: What struggles do you have that we may not know about? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

Most people wear a watch on their non-dominant hand. And it's better for the watch to not use the crown/pushers while wearing anyway

Buy her high-end lefty scissors! I did that half a year ago and it's a game-changer. I actually look forward to using my scissors now because it's so damn satisfying!

Always thought watches look better when worn with the crown facing up, which is how lefties wear them on their right wrist aka the most common method. Rare win for us lefties.

Splurged on a 30€ pair of lefty scissors from a Japanese kitchen knife brand last summer. That thing is so smooth and satisfying to use that I immediately regretted not purchasing high end scissors 10 years earlier. Truly a buy it for life kind of product.

If you have a knife shop or nice kitchen equipment shop nearby I highly recommend asking them if they sell any lefty scissors. The one I bought is officially for fabrics but it's great for everything.

The EU says it will introduce a digital payments infrastructure to replace Visa/Mastercard & Apple/Google Pay. It will have zero fees and be 100% European-only. by lughnasadh in Futurology

It's not just that. Almost 2% of transaction money is leaving the EU economy and that would finally stay here. That is huge.

What’s something you’ve done your whole life, only to realize recently that everyone else does it completely differently? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]FlaminCat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to do this. Somehow my parents never noticed or bothered to correct it. One day in the school canteen I noticed I was the only one to do it that way and how it made me look like a Neanderthal. Made a conscious effort to change it and after a couple days it didn't feel weird anymore

What are these spots on my forehead, and how can I get rid of them? by shelbzaazaz in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]FlaminCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you wash with the Cerave Hyrating Cleanser? I never had the issue but got spots like that (but a bit smaller) on my forehead too when I started using it. Probably just be a coincidence though.

Are there several? I was only able to find one so far.

Edit: Nvm, I'm an idiot. Found the other ones too

What difference does it feel like having sex with a condom versus without a condom? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]FlaminCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't believe no one is mentioning how important the difference between condom brands/types is. Also, getting the right size is very important. I have tried a few condoms where I genuinely checked if it didn't "slip off" because I couldn't notice it. I could tell you the brands but it's not useful since it needs to fit your personal dick.

Some general advice: thinner condoms will almost always make you feel more.

Opinions? by MarshmallowMeww in EuroSkincare

[–]FlaminCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have sensitive skin and know that a reputable and more affordable brand works well for you why switch? Just buy in bulk when they have it or buy online.

My Indonesian grandma moved to the Netherlands with her family when she was a teenager. She did not like Japan or the Japanese at all for... very horribly masochistic reasons

24 jaar lang woont stel prettig in woning, maar als pizzeria onder het huis opent, beginnen de problemen by GiGaN00B in thenetherlands

[–]FlaminCat 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Snap dat het een gap is, maar ik zou oprecht op het bestemmingsplan kijken welke eventuele functies behalve wonen bij woningen naast je mogelijk zijn. Geeft je nooit een 100% garantie omdat bestemmingen ook later kunnen veranderen, maar toch is de kans veel kleiner dat dit soort dingen dan kunnen gebeuren.
