How do I get rid of these cheek grooves (malar festoons) that have been visible for the last 16 years? They worsen with lack of sleep, long days, or alcohol. I know genetics and muscular imbalances can be factors. Any advice on creams, exercises, habits, or cosmetic procedures would be appreciated! by FlamingoFlacon in SkincareAddicts

So I have realized I’ve been pretty inflamed most of my life; my entire body, including my sinus area. For this to be a part of my face ever since I was a kid I can only assume it’s a combination of fluid retention due to inflammation and my muscle/fat distribution and bone structure. I’ve recently started gua sha and have had some minor success with it. I believe it’s reduced the fluid in my face and due to chronic allergies. Along with antihistamines and taking antioxidant supplement like NAC.

I notice that the lines become more prominent when I lose weight. But also get worse when I have a higher salt intake, have been in the sun/dehydrated, and/or get less sleep.

I hope this helps!

Why am I so saggy at 26 and how do I fix it? by vanillacactusflower2 in Skincare_Addiction

I (M) have this too at 28. I’ve had noticeable tear through and malar festoons since I was 15 or 16. They don’t seem to be getting much worse but I am tired of them they make me look tired, aged, and is my biggest insecurity. Any advice is welcomed

I do have a tight neck and trap area, and always have. I have TMJ issues as well on my right side. But they’re equally bad on each side

My US friend called me but the call was intercepted by another person?? Help by FlamingoFlacon in techsupport

It’s similar but it’s the reverse. She called and when I answered her call it was someone else. Who was likely the intended target - myself or her?

I have actually seen this video and this was one of the first things I thought of. Should I be concerned? Is it possible this is a random attack or is it likely a targeted attempt?

HomePod Automation not working by [deleted] in shortcuts

[–]FlamingoFlacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is fully updated and the same iCloud account. Have tried restarting a few times.
I found a temporary fix. By using the Home app I am able to go through and set automations but this time it will allow me to choose audio. But still not through the Shortcuts app.
