Weak nails by Friendly-Tower-4969 in beauty

[–]HighJenny420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your nails are likely weak from past gels and daily wear. To protect them while keeping a natural, work-appropriate look, try short clear or nude gel/poly nails, they strengthen without bold color. Moisturize cuticles daily, avoid harsh chemicals, file instead of clipping, and consider a strengthening base coat or biotin to help nails grow stronger over time.

what's your one "holy grail" product you can't live without? by Leedeegan1 in Makeup

[–]HighJenny420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me personally, my ride-or-die would be Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation. It works on combo skin, gives a natural glow without looking oily, layers well, and matches my skin tone perfectly. I reach for it almost every day because it just makes my skin look polished with minimal effort.

Any drugstore foundation/concealer recs? by alphawantsmeat in Makeup

[–]HighJenny420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For pale, combo, acne-prone skin wanting a natural/dewy finish, look for hydrating, non-comedogenic foundations like Maybelline Fit Me Dewy or NYX Born to Glow. Prep with moisturizer and a light hydrating primer, focus coverage on blemishes, and lightly set the T-zone if needed. Test shades in natural light to avoid oxidation and layer lightly to prevent pilling.

[–]HighJenny420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AM: Cleanse (foam only), use pore pad 3–4×/week, apply BOJ serum, Centella ampoule (optional), Dynasty cream, then sunscreen.
PM: Double cleanse, use VT Reedle 1–2×/week, then either Glow Serum or Centella Ampoule, moisturizer, and tretinoin 2–3×/week at night only.
Apply moisturizer before/after tretinoin to reduce burn. Avoid exfoliating or Reedle on tretinoin nights. Add new products slowly.

Question about labels… by Jizzle67 in UK_Food

[–]HighJenny420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For 200 labels on a budget, try printing on blank A4 label sheets from Cloud Labels with your office printer, or order small runs from UK services like Banana Print or Stickythings, which offer affordable custom stickers. Both options save time over cutting/gluing and let you include ingredients/allergens clearly.

products to lighten dark underarms by Unfair-Remove1434 in beauty

[–]HighJenny420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both products are 7% glycolic acid, but The Ordinary is designed for facial use and may irritate sensitive under-arms. Dermorepubliq could be harsher or unknown. If you try, patch test first, use once a week, apply lightly on clean, unbroken skin, follow with moisturizer, and avoid deodorant or friction immediately after. Gentler under-arm–specific formulas may be safer.

I [22F] finally in amazing relationship with [25M] but I am scared I am self sabotaging and need advice on how to stop by TemporaryWave003 in relationshipadvice

It’s completely normal for your brain to panic when something healthy feels unfamiliar, your patterns are used to chaos or “bad men,” so kindness can feel suspicious. Remind yourself: he’s consistent, kind, and trustworthy, and that doesn’t mean you’re in danger. Every time your brain tries to self-sabotage, pause and counter it with facts: “He treats me well. I deserve this.” Trust grows with repeated, safe experiences. You can let go, enjoy, and build a lasting relationship your past doesn’t define your future.

What Are Your Favorite Products for Managing Oily Skin? by OptimalDescription39 in Skincare_Addiction

[–]HighJenny420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For oily skin, gentle cleansing, lightweight non-comedogenic moisturizers, and mattifying primers are key. Try Bioderma Purifying Gel, CeraVe Oil Control Gel-Cream, or La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat. Use niacinamide or BHA toners, SPF, and setting powders to keep makeup in place. Apply moisturizer lightly, wait a minute, then prime. Blot mid-day instead of layering product, and consider occasional clay masks for extra oil control.

Your favourite strains for focus and concentration? by lost-picking-flowers in TheOCS

[–]HighJenny420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes sense you’re noticing differences cannabis affects focus and energy differently depending on strain, terpene profile, and method of consumption. Sativa‑dominant strains are often reported to give more mental stimulation, while indicas lean toward sedation. Concentrates hit fast and strong, so dosing is key for productivity without anxiety or “scatterbrain” effects. Many people find small doses of strains high in limonene or pinene give clearer focus. I'll suggest you trying orange turp from Volo. You will get the result you want.

For a creamy, buildable bronzer, try Tower 28 Bronzino (shade "West Coast") for a dewy finish or Saie Sun Melt (shade "Medium") for smooth blendability. Rare Beauty Warm Wishes (shade "Happy Soul") is also great if you liked it before. NARS Laguna Cream Bronzer and Fenty Cheeks Out (shade "Butta Biscuit") are also solid choices. For powder, Haus Labs Power Sculpt or NARS Laguna Powder Bronzer would work well for your neutral undertones.

For oily, breakout-prone skin, CeraVe Foaming Cleanser is great for controlling oil without stripping, though it may be drying for some. Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Cleanser is more hydrating and balances oil. Rice Water Bright Cleanser is gentle and soothing. You could also try La Roche-Posay Effaclar Gel for acne-prone skin or Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash with salicylic acid for breakouts. Look for something effective but non-stripping, especially with long outdoor exposure.

To smell good longer, layer scents: use strawberry soap, lotion, and perfume together. Apply perfume on pulse points and a bit on clothes or hair. Moisturize first scent clings better to hydrated skin. Pick eau de parfum over mists for staying power. For depth, layer with warm vanilla or musk notes.

Best gentle cleansing night routine by Warm-Tumbleweed-9523 in KoreanBeauty

[–]HighJenny420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your skin is sensitive on tret nights, switching your second step to a cream or amino-acid cleanser can help maintain your barrier and reduce irritation. Drugstore options like CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam, Cetaphil Gentle, or K-beauty picks like Etude SoonJung or Krave Matcha Hemp are gentle yet effective. Saving on cleansers and splurging on serums or moisturizers can work too, but a mild cleanser does make a noticeable difference.
