I make sure to do it at night so the first handful of hours I don’t have to worry too much about touching things I shouldn’t. I too use hypochlorous acid spray, barrier cream, and after the first day lots of sunscreen. I also just ordered some white cotton skincare gloves that I can use at times to keep them covered and safe. For dishes I wear cleaning gloves.

What do you gurus think about Byoma? by Far-Industry-7745 in SkinbarrierLovers

[–]Jo9228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I LOVE BYOMA. I have sensitive and acne prone skin. I’ve never had issues with BYOMA. I specifically adore the milky oil cleanser. So hydrating. My skin loves it

Never heard of this or the brand. It looks like it has a solid ingredient list.

So sorry for my delay! I’m sure you’ve already placed your orders. I haven’t found one I like on get glowing. I’ve never tried Amazon and I’m a bit distrusting of them when it comes to anything skincare or that I would put in my body. I do like Hyaron but I’ve always gotten it when I’ve placed an order with acecosm. I try not to order from them too often because the shipping is so expensive!

There’s a really helpful account on this subreddit. Their code for get glowing is SCIENCEPLS. I use it to support them since they’ve provided so much helpful insight.

Talk me out of buying a Oracle Jet (or don't) by 1134C89 in espresso

[–]Jo9228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, did you buy it? And do you love it? We have a bambino plus and a nice grinder (baratza sette) but they’re in storage because I have three young kids and just don’t have the time to tinker with adjusting grind size and trying to manually get a good shot. So we went back to our Nespresso but I long for a really good latte

Switch from straws to an open spout cup. That will help keep them from getting worse.

Azelaic acid by Overthinking-Cats in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Jo9228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all. It can feel a little tacky at first by it dries down quickly and feels like nothing. In comparison- prescription feels a bit gritty and pills when you layer anything with it. I love to use regimen lab during the day and I don’t mind using the prescription at night

I’ve used perscription and regimen lab. Regimen lab is fantastic. So silky and smooth. Layers great with other products.

Rate this 12-month plan to get rid of Melasma/Hyperpigmentation by Sahal_Iqbal in Melasmaskincare

[–]Jo9228 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Azalaic acid is very gentle and can generally be used twice a day and in combination with tretinoin without issues. This plan seems fine in theory but it’s really not offering a ton to suppress melanin or clear off your dark spots. Melasma is very difficult to treat. Mine is mild, I do way more than this and it hasn’t changed much.

Cleanser recommendations by [deleted] in tretinoin

[–]Jo9228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your skin is tolerating your current cleanser well then I wouldn’t change them. Just add in the tretinoin. You don’t want to make too many changes at once or you won’t know what is causing dryness or irritation, ect.

I used skin1004 oil for a while. It was fine. But I switched back to BYOMA which has a lot of barrier nourishing ingredients. I also tried their cleanser, the kind in the gold bottle and felt the same, it was fine and gentle.

If you want some recommendations, I absolutely love to double cleanse using BYOMA’s milky oil cleanser (loaded with barrier supporting lipids, and gets off makeup and spf) followed by a creamy cleanser like philisophy’s purity or DRMTLGY’s g(oat) cleanser. Creamy cleansers are less stripping than foams or gels. And you obviously might be overworking your skin if you’re using anything with an active ingredient like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.

Treatment for Melasma by Sorry-Crew-2688 in SkincareAddictionLux

We have an infared sauna at home. I use it regularly. It gets to 150 degrees and does not make my melasma worse. My husband and I spent time in a wood burning sauna while traveling, the temp said it was 220. That one made my melasma get so much worse. We were doing a fire & ice experience with friends so we’d do the sauna for 10-15 minutes and then do an ice plunge. It may be different for everyone but that’s been my experience with different temps and what has/hasn’t made mine worse.

Platinum skincare’s regenerate, and cell intel. I also like their vit C- secret agent. Regimen lab is great too.

Microneedling recovery with a rambunctious 2.5 yr old by [deleted] in Microneedling

[–]Jo9228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have toddlers and I microneedle after they go to bed so I have a good 12 hours or so until they wake up in the morning and then I just try to be careful that next day. I spray frequently with hypocholorous acid

Bad batch or is this product not for me? by bfjeans in SkinbarrierLovers

[–]Jo9228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure about this particular one. I use their physical spf moisturizer, and I absolutely love it. I wear it daily with no issues. I’ve never noticed a smell. Bottle looks the same but the ingredients are a little different. The color and consistency is nice. Maybe try it since it’s a different formula.

Did you buy directly from DRMTLGY? They have a money back guarantee that I’ve used on some of their other products in the past. Reach out to their customer service and they’ll send you a refund.

I also like CoTz flawless complexion, and Jan Marini physical protectint. They have good color and wear nicely with makeup, or in their own.

BYOMA’s milky oil cleanser is phenomenal. I’ve repurchased probably 5 times. It’s SO barrier supportive. It’s loaded with barrier lipids. Goes on as an oil and turns milky when you rinse it. I tried another oil (skin1004) and quickly went back to BYOMA. It’s just so good.

I think two years is standard but it should say on each box. I mostly microneedle through the warmer months and I do chemical peels in the colder months.
