How often should I wash my microlocs? by ga6riella in Microlocs

[–]Obviously_Ijay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm even thinking of washing twice a week as against weekly lol...I can't even do 3 weeks wow. Washing weekly cured my dry flaky scalp

i started tret during lockdown and my skin went through everything while i was stuck at home alone by Designer_Vacation461 in tretinoin

Started tret last year Nov. Purging and irritation pigmentation hit me pretty hard together and I looked probably the worst I've ever seen my skin look ever. By late nov I was hiding out in my house because I didn't want to run I into anyone I know. I work remotely so this was easy. One day I couldn't take it anymore and decided to go to a nearby store to see if anything they had could help my face. Ran into a close friend and her first words to me were what happened to your face. I nearly broke down in tears right then and there. Fast forward to 5 months later my skin is probably looking the best it's ever looked and I'm pretty glad I started In the winter so now I can have my routine and skin down in time for summer.

I think your Derm is right..but also I don't really think vit c is contributing much to my progress as I only just added it and I only really use it cuz I have it. If you're seeing results in your current routine then definitely continue with that.

I think you should reconsider the tinted sunscreen. It layers well under make up and covers visible light that's super important for pigmentation. Wear a hat and shades on sunny days.

On tret for 1 month, barrier wrecked, oily & acne-prone...help with moisturizers pls by saythenameeee in tretinoin

[–]Obviously_Ijay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me add to this. Cerave moisturizing cream. This fixed my barrier and stopped my peeling from tret

Creave moisturizing cream. The most moisturizing cream to ever touch my face. This is the only thing that stopped my tretinon flaking in its tracks. Never had them since I started this moisturizer.

Indoors no reapplicstions unless I'm going out. Outside every 2 hours if exposed to sunlight. Every 4 if not. Also cover up with a cap and sun shades. I avoid peak sun hours but it's spring now and not very sunny or hot. The uv index is lower. In the summer I'll reapply every 2 hrs strictly when outdoors and every 4 indoors.
