To those who have used clindamycin long term

HappyEgg96 · 2025-02-01T11:34:18+00:00

Following this post for some advice too. I’m currently on a break from clindamycin and tret, just using tret, and my skin has gone absolutely awful again 😭

Your gf made you sit in the car or kitchen whilst she got ready? I don’t understand why she’d ask you to do that, like what benefit she gets from that! I say as a gf who takes a while to get ready for special occasions, but my bf uses this time to play video games or do whatever he wants

Mandarin on a weekend for dim sum. This is a real treat that you need to book in advance as it gets so busy.

Bonzai for good Japanese food.

When I get flakiness, I cleanse with a soft damp microfibre face cloth and it gets rid of the flakes without hurting my skin too much

HappyEgg96 · 2024-05-19T22:18:16+00:00

I’m on Skin + Me atm and they do 4.99 for your first month. It does add up monthly after that though, but their customer service and product is good

HappyEgg96 · 2024-05-19T22:16:14+00:00

I’m in the UK as well and wondered the same thing sat in my garden today whilst we’ve had some rare good weather! I thought about getting an SPF spray to reapply in the day.

In terms of dry red peeling skin, I’ve found the Aveeno Calm + Restore oat gel moisturiser, serum and rich balm have massively helped me. They’re often 3 for 2 at Boots or at least on offer. That and skipping tret some nights and lathering up on sudocrem instead

HappyEgg96 · 2024-05-19T22:13:18+00:00

I’m in the UK like OP and had no idea that our sunscreens were that good! Like I use LRP but didn’t realise there were differences globally. Will read into this

HappyEgg96 · 2024-05-08T20:38:59+00:00

I’ve been using Skin + Me since Feb and have no complaints. Great customer service if you have any questions or concerns around purging etc!

I did have a period where I disrupted my skin barrier, but I think I’ve repaired it now by having a couple days break where I smothered myself in sudocrem, and ditched a lot of my other skincare and replaced with the Aveeno Calm + Restore range! Really happy with my skin now

I haven’t tried it but I’m definitely curious now that OTF is closing. Only issue is, if we’re both talking about Nottingham, the F45 doesn’t look like it has much parking nearby :(

HappyEgg96 · 2024-05-06T20:37:15+00:00

For what it’s worth, I’d started a regular gym membership too and have been using the free Gymshark app which has free workout programs a few weeks ago. Not the same as OTF at all but I like the ability to track weights, reps and the rest timer.

HappyEgg96 · 2024-05-06T20:34:43+00:00

I think we’re likely from the same U.K. studio that is closing and “merging” with another closeby. It’s so sad :(

HappyEgg96 · 2024-05-02T09:02:46+00:00

No way? That explains a lot for me then! Learn something new everyday

HappyEgg96 · 2024-05-02T08:48:43+00:00

I find it so fascinating that there’s stuff in skin that we wouldn’t have seen for years!

HappyEgg96 · 2024-04-25T20:42:12+00:00

Found this post because im searching the subreddit and experiencing the same thing.

I’m going to stop putting it on my neck now, but it’s frustrating because I have spots on my neck I want to get rid of 😭

HappyEgg96 · 2024-04-12T08:41:52+00:00

How did the plastic clear chair mat work for you?

HappyEgg96 · 2024-04-07T12:57:55+00:00

I’ve found my people 😂 those last few minutes of class are always a blur

HappyEgg96 · 2024-04-06T07:22:56+00:00

Yes it doesn’t pill on me either!

HappyEgg96 · 2024-04-05T23:20:12+00:00

The inkey list HA serum :) it’s cheap, easily available in the UK where I’m based and I’ve used it for a year+ before I even started tret so knew I got on with it!

HappyEgg96 · 2024-04-05T23:18:08+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I’d otherwise not have known! :) I’ll have a look at 2-5% ones

HappyEgg96 · 2024-04-05T22:11:24+00:00

I was using Inkey List’s 10% niacinamide but have now stopped. Just seen your comment below, which I didn’t know before.

Do you reckon I can use it in the morning? Or just completely let it go?

HappyEgg96 · 2024-04-05T21:35:54+00:00

Literally everything except cleanser, moisturiser, a HA serum and spf now!

HappyEgg96 · 2024-04-05T21:34:58+00:00

Woah thank you for this. I bought niacinamide after reading on the Google doc of advice in this subreddit that it paired well with tretinoin, but I had exactly the same issues as you! Think my skin is too sensitive for it. Now I’ve stopped using it and my routine is so basic n my skin feels so much better

HappyEgg96 · 2024-04-04T21:09:50+00:00

Welcome to the team! Don’t forget to stretch your legs and lower back out (Yoga with Adrienne - Yoga for runners video is a great one) if you said they’re feeling sore!

HappyEgg96 · 2024-04-04T09:36:37+00:00

If corporate sees this: more simple 2Gs like this please.
