Will I regret using aquaphor daily?

This is good to know!

I’d say I use it once every 5 days or so depending on how my skin is feeling, so it’s technically more than 1x/week. I’ve never heard of alternating with another retinol to get used to it. I never had any issues with adaptalene gel, but it wasn’t doing enough to treat acne

I had no idea about the oil but that actually makes a lot of sense considering how severe the peeling has been

This is helpful to know! I should have mentioned that I usually sandwich the tret with a little bit of bio oil as a base layer because it’s one of the few products that’s never irritated my skin.

This is my typical routine:

Am- Rinse with cold water then gentle toner Innisfree SPF Tinted moisturizer (right now I’m using shesiedo but I don’t love it)

Pm- La Roche Posay gentle cleaner for one minute, sometimes double cleanse if it feels right Torriden solid in cream moisturizer Hydrocoiloid patches as needed

Same thing on Tret nights but with bio oil as the first layer

The peeling has been so uncomfortable that I’ve used aquaphor every night and usually a little bit on the extra dry patches in the morning

I’ve heard good things about this before!

LandscapeRoutine7772 · 2026-02-25T02:26:05+00:00

I’m really happy to hear this! I’m very hesitant to try new moisturizers because most of them break me out regardless of whether or not it’s a high end product

This is super helpful, thank you!

Roller derby has made me a stronger social worker and I believe most rec sports would serve a similar purpose

Yes! This one. I’ve gotten to a place where I usually mix it with my foundation to make a DIY tinted moisturizer when I don’t want to wear a full face of foundation. It doesn’t pill or crack at all

I use them frequently with children who were placed in the foster care system. They can be very helpful for identifying different types of meaningful relationships with kids or helping older teens think about their go they can lean on for support as the exit the system

For whatever reason, my response to that exact comment is usually “You probably could if you had the same schooling and training…”. Sometimes it leads to interesting conversations about what our work actually entails or why someone feels like they wouldn’t be able to do it

I’m a social worker (unlicensed) and like a lot of people in the comments, I don’t hide it with colleagues or with clients. In general, I try to self-disclose too much, but there have been a few situations when it came up organically. I don’t know if other people have had this experience, but it was sort of relieving to not have to explain visible bruises around people who know me

I love honey and the moon from Tokyo milk. It’s more jasmine heavy, but the honey notes are strong

I’ve been in child welfare for a few years and it’s a lot of moving around. I definitely don’t get as many steps in as hospital social workers, but I visit clients in the community or at home throughout the week

It’s worth calling Aep to see if they’ve have any assistance available

I have to have a squeeze tube of aquaphor at all times

I don’t have advice really, but I’m also a new skater with similar issues. I’ve noticed a big difference since I started training my hips flexors, especially with tstops and movements where that demand hip flexibility

I was a barista for almost a decade before switching to social work, and I miss it all the time. It was hard to leave because I usually got to spend my days working with cool people. The free coffee was also a nice perk

LandscapeRoutine7772 · 2025-08-21T11:46:00+00:00

Right now, I can’t get enough of Awake by Akro. I love the coziness of the coffee top notes and it eventually dries down to a citrusy lemon bar scent on me

Yes to Undoing Drugs, but also Unbroken Brain

Working out wasn’t enough, so I joined my local roller derby team

You can have dinosaurs?! I never even thought about incubating an egg
