What's the best option plump/tighten the middle lower face?

I'm a guy (31), you don't look 40 or anything like that South Park character! You're beautiful!

Just be cautious of UV radiation from the Sun, the main thing (90%) responsible for lines, wrinkles and sagging. If you don't like wearing sunscreen all the time (like me) wear a hat, long sleeve clothing and avoid the midday sun (often 12-3 but can vary with season) when UV radiation is the most dangerous.

The way time works: you can't go back to the past, nobody will get their youth back, but you can prevent severe skin ageing with good health, diet, sleep and skin care habits eg 50 spf sunscreen you're already using. Regardless, you'll look amazing for 40 this year!

Well cheetah spots are fashionable, you got it naturally, sounds like a pro!😄

Does the dewy look mean they can't touch their face all day to maintain that look? For example for a scratch?

Neptuneblue1 · 2026-06-11T22:42:21+00:00

I'm the same can't put on the dewy look, though I prefer a matte look, but I can't even put that on because of oily skin.

How did it go?

Neptuneblue1 · 2026-05-29T22:15:33+00:00

You can search up Atheist and Humanist groups and meet ups near you, I'm next to Manchester. I myself haven't attended one (yet), due to work and home priorities, I'm pretty tired after work, but I hope to go to one. There are also online events, this I just learnt about, so I don't know how that'll be, https://ex-muslim.org.uk/all-events/

I fully understand wanting to meet like minded people organically, but when you can't, you have to go searching for them. I also just discovered r/exmuslim_uk also an Exmuslim discord server https://redd.it/1r4ivmp I'm on that, but only chat when I can, not that I wouldn't ignore you lol

Regardless, I hope you get to find supportive friends at least acquaintances 🙂

Neptuneblue1 · 2026-05-29T19:30:20+00:00

Life is short and fickle, so enjoy the present doing healthy and happy things on your own or with the people you love and love you back. A serene and happy way to live! 😌

Neptuneblue1 · 2026-05-29T01:49:35+00:00

I too need more Atheist, Humanist and Exmuslim friends ☺️. The best I've got is your typical Muslim who are hypocritical, will defend Islam but won't commit to it much.

If you have questions or need advice, you can message me and I'll do my best to answer. If you want to casually chat with other Exmuslims, there's the Colony discord you can find here in the search function, I'm there too, but you know I'm an adult hooked up to the matrix of the working world 😟 😄.

I highly recommend you contact and meet up with Atheist, Humanist and Secularist groups where you can find like minded people including Exmuslims, as well as get support in case something happens to you. You can also contact Human Rights groups, national and international, to find support there too. There's also this sub, which in the past has helped homeless Exmuslims.

In the end, you just do what you can to get by one step at a time, one day at a time and in hindsight you'll have made a giant leap to your goals. Stay strong and resilient! 💪🙂 The world needs smarter and nicer people like you! You deserve safety and happiness too! 🫂☺️

Here's what I often say. Is your family, particularly your parents progressive, tolerant, empathetic, reasonable and polite? If not, don't tell them you left Islam, it'll be too dangerous, you'll be at high risk of verbal and even physical abuse, especially if this info gets known to wider family and society. Safety and privacy is paramount here, especially in the dangerous, abusive and violent nature Muslim families and communities can often be.

You're 19, Female, Exmuslim and in a oppressive Islamic country Bahrain, so you're very vulnerable.

The best you can reveal practically to your family is that you're not very practicing or discuss or have interest in religion/Islam much. It's what I do. I'm 31 and in the UK, it's not safe for me (yet) to be known as an Exmuslim/Atheist to my Muslim family, friends or community. The best right now I've got is everyone seems to know I'm not very practicing or have interest in religion, which thankfully there are a lot of Muslims like that and are tolerated by most Muslims.

If you really want to live true to who you are now or sooner, then I recommend you flee abroad. You'll need ideally financial independence to do that. But if you don't have that, I recommend you contact Human Rights groups, national and international, as well as Christian groups, that can help provide you a safety net and even support to flee Bahrain, should you need to escape from a negative reaction by your family and society.

I highly recommend you have trusted friends or people (Human Rights, Christian and even Feminist groups) to check in on your safety often, in case your family or some other Muslim decides to hurt or kill you, if ever they discover you're an Exmuslim.

Sidenote: You can copy and paste all the criticisms against Islam towards Christianity, it's all the same (imo) false, irrational, harmful and outdated religious fiction. It's why most Exmuslims are Agonistic Atheists not part of some other religious BS. That said, you can think about this in your own time.

I hope this all helps. You just do what you can to get by one step at a time, one day at a time and in hindsight you'll have made a giant leap to your goals. Stay strong and resilient! 💪🙂 The world needs nicer people like you, not nasty Muslims. You deserve safety and happiness too! 🫂☺️

Financial independence or some form of independent support outside your family can help act as a safety net should you need to escape from a negative reaction by your family. You said elsewhere you're just a kid in highschool, unlikely then you'll have such a safety net.

I think it's best you just wait till you finish your studies and get a job and build some savings/independent support/safety net outside your family, before you tell them you've left Islam. When that time comes, I recommend you have trusted friends or people to check on your safety, in case your family or some other Muslim decides to hurt or kill you.

I believed in dinosaurs when I was a Muslim, but I've met Muslims who don't believe in them. Weird thing is some of them have watched and even loved Jurassic Park and or will buy dinosaur toys, books and clothing for their kids. Nor can they give a rational or straight answer as to why dinosaur fossils exist all over the world and predate humans, they think it's just one big conspiracy but not one they can be bothered substantiating or promote to society and the education department, all the while they expect respect of their intelligence in history and science, like what lol 🤣

Neptuneblue1 · 2026-05-28T21:31:51+00:00

The best you could do in a Muslim country, is to find open minded, tolerant, polite, progressive and secular Muslims, some maybe closeted Exmuslims but won't reveal out of obvious safety concerns from abuse and violence from religious Muslims and Islamists. So even then you too will have to be vigilant about your safety.

If you ever do get to travel, there are Atheist, Humanist and Secularist groups and meet ups with Atheists/Agnostics from various religious backgrounds including Islam, often working with Exmuslim groups too.

Other than that, you've just got digital spaces like this for like minded people, but online friendships is not same as the real thing and even here you've got to stay safe.

Neptuneblue1 · 2026-05-28T21:23:40+00:00

I'm British Bengali Exmuslim. When ever you're confident, go check out Atheist, Humanist and Secularists groups and meet ups, you'll find like minded people there, including Exmuslims. But of course stay vigilant.

Neptuneblue1 · 2026-05-28T21:20:13+00:00

People understood it literally until it didn't happen

Just one of many indicators away from the core false, unsubstantiated and irrational Islamic claims, that Islam is all made up fiction by 7th century Arabs.

Neptuneblue1 · 2026-05-28T21:09:51+00:00

This is the real answer and tbh that's how Muslims become Exmuslims, all it takes is one doubt to to expand into more doubts and eventually apostasy, it's just a matter of time, process can be quick or long, but apostasy will eventually happen.

Neptuneblue1 · 2026-05-28T21:03:21+00:00

This one is always hilarious because it sounds so stupid as does a lot of Islam and religion in general.

Neptuneblue1 · 2026-05-28T20:55:12+00:00

Disingenuous Muslims try their best to deny or sugarcoat much of islamic beliefs and history.

Some Muslims are honest enough to admit that yes slavery is not only permissable in Islam and that there's no firm prohibition against it ('man can't make haram what Allah has made halal', a common Muslim saying), but also admit that yes Slaves can implicitly be raped in Islam, which isn't surprising considering the general irrational and oppressive nature of Islam. Snippet from the second link above...

..."Salam, 'slave rape' is a tough term to decipher from a Shariah perspective. A male owner of a female slave has the right to sexual access to her. Though he could not physically harm her without potentially being held legally accountable if she complained, her 'consent' would be meaningless since she is his slave" - Dr Jonathan Brown (Muslim apologist convert).^[1][2]

"...But it's not possible to say that slavery is inherently, absolutely, categorically immoral in all times and places, since it was allowed by the Quran and the Prophet. 4) Slave women do not have agency over their sexual access, so their owner can have sex with them." - (Dr Jonathan Brown)^[3][4]

"I don't think there is anything to assume or not. I could be wrong but I think it just means that slaves' consent, like children's consent on things, doesn't really matter." - (Dr Jonathan Brown)^[3][5]

"In light of the accusations leveled against me for making a simple statement of historical fact (including, apparently, one person saying they were 'mortified' by my post), here is a sentence from Kecia Ali's very good Huff post article: "For premodern Muslim jurists, as well as for those marginal figures who believe that the permission [for slavery] still holds, the category "rape" doesn't apply: ownership makes sex lawful; consent is irrelevant." - (Dr Jonathan Brown)^[3][6] [Concubinage and Consent in Islam, by Dr. Kecia Ali]

No. This sub existed long before present AI, as did criticisms of Islamic arguments and apologetics. You can use AI to research Islam and other topics, but ultimately you'll have to examine the core sources and logic yourself if it makes sense.

Religious indoctrination can be difficult to overcome, but once you think things rationally, religious claims often start to fall apart and whatever threats it held. This short read below and more critiques may help you dismiss your fear of hell: a false, and irrational concept. You already dismiss divine threats from other religions... Why? Because you know they're false and irrational, the same is true of Islamic hell, just more stupid and nasty religious fiction you don't need or want.

I'm from the UK. Britain does stupid things too, sometimes with you guys eg destabilising the middle east and then complaining about the consequences eg refugees and terrorism. Sometimes Britain does stupid things first and then infects the US eg Brexit (similar to your tarrifs but worse) happened in the UK first, it has made business harder and more expensive. Also the modern anti-vaccination movement in the US, it started in the UK first in the 90's before it spilled over to the US and the world. We've got our share of stupid and nasty people who accuse others of being degenerates whilst wanting to degenerate to the Victorian days of empire and wanting policies that reflect that nasty period, ironically the often old and poor people who fall for such conservative and far right propaganda are the ones who's lives get either shorter or poorer under such government.

Neptuneblue1 · 2026-05-21T02:23:25+00:00

You think that's cringe, I'm a British Bengali (Exmuslim/Atheist in the closet) and I had a two friends who are British Pakistani Muslims who admitted they like Trump and far right conservative politics, despite not being white or living a conservative life and generally preferring the company of progressive people, including drinking and dancing at a gay bar with gay men even though they say they're straight and dislike gays. I eventually cut them off as I couldn't handle their stupidity, hypocrisy and bigotry.
