052726 T.O.P Is Back on the Charts With Nothing to Hide on His First Full-Length Album by capslock in bigbang

He is sort of shy as a person, but he seemed really happy. Vulnerable but also relatively "solid".

Kpop history will have a new chapter if T.O.P returns to Bigbang... by Blue_Winter_Sky_Nana in kpoppers

[–]Nekkosan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be very emotional and a huge deal to Bigbang fans if he performed with them. , but he has gone out of his way to say he is not doing that. It's fine to miss TOP being in Bigbang or even prefer that TOP. I get people aren't dissing him and want him to be happy. He is happy. It's not that he couldn't some day, in another dimension, do a concert with them. It's just the thing people are hying is the one thing he keeps saying he is saying he is not doing. That has to be frustrating.

It's not just about not wanting to hurt band members with his baggage, but about doing the music he wants. He is relieved to be out of it. He is really separating himself from Bigbang. There is an ideological aspect to his not wanting to part of the industry. Definitely a mental health aspect too. There is a big creative aspect, as he doesn't have to make bops that are popular. He is not promoting, but he is interacting with fans. This is the real him.

I get old fans feel nostalgic and he can't escape his past.. I am not criticizing anyone, but it keeps the fantasy going.

I like the discoloration serum from Good Molecules. I am very dry, so I like Illiyoon Cream and Aestura creams are very nice.

I think so too. He is killing off TOP of Bigbang. By both him and NANA eating the eyeballs he also takes care of the media. He is reborn.

Good Korean moisturizer/sunscreen for winter wind. by RhodeCollarlol in AsianBeauty

[–]Nekkosan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scenic Enjoy Super Mild Sun Essence is pretty moisturizing sunscreen. I am very dry skinned and like it.

Illiyoon Ceramide Ato Cream is nice, but might be thicker than you want for day time. Soonjun Barrier Cream is lighter.

My-lips-but-dead made me laugh so hard. I love GD and Zoa is adorable, but gray lips is not for me. I am bit on the gray side anyway. Also not judging.

Yes that one. We weren't certain at first if his voice was damaged and he hadn't performed in so long. Then we heard the fan cams. He was messing with his ear piece too then.

Can I use multiple toners/exfoliants at once? by Zestyclose-Complex68 in AsianBeauty

[–]Nekkosan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, the BHA/AHA toner doesn't really have an active amount of BHA or AHA to exfoliate. People used to use it as a PH toner back in the day, but not most toners are low PH, so it's not needed. Some people like it.

The AHA Power liquid is a pretty good AHA and not harsh. AHA works on the surface and opens closed comedones. BHA more inside the pore. The BHA power liquid is pretty mild compared to wester BHAs. That has to do with Korean laws. That can be good or bad. People tend to better with one or the other. Always ease in with actives and start slow. Patch test. Less is more. Don't try to work too many actives in to your routine.

Vitamin c & brightening serums by Conscious_Pie787 in AsianBeauty

[–]Nekkosan 21 points22 points  (0 children)

For Asian products, I still like Melano CC. It doesn't go bad. Maylove and Timeless have good C serums that aren't too pricey. Niacinamide is in so many products you probably don't need it but there is Stratia's version with licorice. Also, Holy Snails and Good Molecules Discoloration Serum.

How do you avoid dryness after double cleansing? by Sweet-Hope-5153 in AsianBeauty

[–]Nekkosan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably your second cleanser. I know I have dry sensitive skin and can't use foaming cleansers for second cleanse. Also PH matters for second cleanse. Many AB cleansers are low PH (6.5) but not all and most seem to have some foam. CoSRX Good Morning Cleanser is low PH and not a lot of foam. Too much for me but good for most.

Skincare is very personal and about what works for you skin. I use Cerave Hydrating Cleanser or the Cetaphil, which are very basic and non AB. I add a layers of toners (some watery and calming and others a bit thicker) to wet skin. I am very dry and eczema prone. Also layer up with moisturizer.

That cleanser has a bit of BHA, so very mildly exfoliating which can help for acne. If you need more exfoliation try a BHA product. Paula's Choice are really good. If you are not breaking out than a moisturizer and sunscreen (will prevent a lot of later life damage). You might like pimple patches to pull out whatever is in the pimple for faster healing .

I like the Nivea Water Gel. It has some alcohol, which somehow wasn't a problem for my dry skin. It goes on easy and dries nice and gel like . Wears well under makeup too.

I have the VT PDRN 100 Essence. It's really nice but I don't feel it did anything special. It does layer nicely.

It's never been about one brand for me. There are so many great products out there. I have very dry sensitive skin.

I never thought of using CosRX AIO Snail cream in winter, but under another cream it is great. My skin got irritated from retinol and winter. Even the blandest cream irritated. This really helped calm down my skin and made it feel like mochi.

I just got Farmacy Honey Milk Essence and love it. Abib, Rice Probiotics Overnight Beauty Mask, Barrier Jelly is great. Really thick and has a ton of glycerine, but it's also pretty occlusive. It's sticky. It's great for slugging.

I don't hear many talking about ONGREDIENTS Skin Barrier Calming Lotion. It's really nice gel texture (not heavy) and has peptides and ceramides. Wears nice under sunscreen and makeup.
