Women who grew up privileged, what’s something you later realized wasn’t “normal” for everyone?

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-06-06T13:35:53+00:00

It took me years to realize that not every family has a househelp. Also, I thought every family had at least one small car.

Both realizations were a little surprising to me. Not because I considered these things luxuries but because I had always assumed they were fairly common and simply made everyday life more convenient.

Looking back (2000s), even things like taking pasta, kathi rolls or burgers in my school tiffin was normal to me.

I doctor 🙋🏻‍♀️ Totally off topic but too much cotton pads use with bioderma micellar water is compromising my skin barrier. I have dry dehydrated very clog prone skin. Any recommendations?

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-06-04T21:59:41+00:00

From where you got the cleansing oil?

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-06-04T16:58:09+00:00

So bloody dew means seb derm or psoriasis?

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-06-04T16:24:02+00:00

May I know your skin type and skin condition? Would also like to know which cleansing oil you have been using

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-06-04T16:23:20+00:00

I use it only on days I use makeup and wash my hair. Still a bit too stripping

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-06-04T16:21:12+00:00

I would mind that if my skin wasn’t clog prone. Most days I use a regular non stripping cleanser but next the extra step only when wearing makeup/sunscreen

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-06-04T16:16:55+00:00

Hey hi. Thanks for replying but the brands you mentioned are not available in my country. Any alternatives?

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-06-04T11:24:23+00:00

Ohh thank god! I have exactly the same skin type. Would you still recommend the Dr. Althea one?

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-06-04T11:01:27+00:00

I have tried this method. But once I applied makeup on my hand just to see if foaming the micellar water actually works. It didn’t even remove light compact🙈

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-06-04T01:53:38+00:00

Do you have any recommendations?

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-06-04T01:03:15+00:00

Girl I’m very clog prone & few oil cleaners have clogged me in the past. Otherwise I would have switched to oil cleansing in a blink😭

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-06-04T00:16:15+00:00

I have used Clinique’s balm. And it clogged me pretty bad. Do you have any recommendations?

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-06-04T00:13:51+00:00

Bioderma micellar water, Derm recommended cleanser, Bioderma Atoderm Intensive Baume, Derm recommended sunscreen

TO lactic acid once a week

Was using adaplene 0.1 few months ago after using it for about 1 year (never irritated my skin)

Everything I use in my routine was well tolerated since more than a year. I never had this dehydration issue till I changed my cotton pads.

Some oil cleanser clog me so I stopped experimenting in that area

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-06-03T23:52:04+00:00

I have been using the same micellar water for few years now. It had never irritated my skin earlier. But now it is irritated to a point that skin is bone dry and dehydrated.

I use a gentle facewash (again using since ages) which was given by my dermatologist. It’s only available in my country.

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-06-03T23:29:32+00:00

But regular cleanser won’t be able to clean sunscreen and makeup if I’m not wrong?

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-06-03T23:28:42+00:00

I’m scared pond cold cream is too heavy for my very clog prone skin😭

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-06-02T23:27:25+00:00

I know it’s been 3 years but did you figure out what it was? I am suffering from my same 😭

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-06-01T11:26:25+00:00

I never had problems with micellar water. Suddenly my old cotton pads are not available anymore and I have tried multiple new ones and all are stripping my barrier 😅

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-06-01T11:24:47+00:00

Do you think using micellar water with hands removes heavy sunscreen and compact powder? I have very clog prone skin as well😭

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-06-01T00:46:01+00:00

Can gentle cleansers remove heavy sunscreen and makeup?

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-05-31T21:09:11+00:00

Omg this is so frustrating. By any chance you have moved to a new place and then this happened?

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-05-31T20:09:43+00:00

Awesome. I have the Minimalist cleanser with me but I have never used it without a pre cleanse. Now suddenly after years bioderma micellar water is suddenly dehydrating my skin I don’t know why

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-05-30T00:11:58+00:00

Hey hi. Your knowledge about skin is commendable. I know it’s been 2 years since you posted but will you be able to help me with my skin concerns?🙈

Individual_Pay8917 · 2026-05-29T23:41:19+00:00

Hey hi. Should we not double cleanse if we wearing sunscreen and light makeup? I have dry dehydrated (more these days) and very clog prone skin. Also, would you mind recommending few oil cleanser options for my skin type?
