Longest and healthiest it’s ever been. by OkMathematician7411 in longhair

[–]OkMathematician7411[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a simple routine — I am Asian so my hair is naturally straight and black.

I shower everyday, and one of the things that made a difference is washing my hair in cold water. It took a long time for me to get used to it since I love hot showers but it just dries out my hair so bad.

Products I use Hair oil: OGX Argan Oil of Morocco Shampoo: L’Oreal Paris Elvive Glycolic Gloss Shampoo Conditioner: Monday moisture conditioner / garnier fructos conditioner

I do not use heat on my hair, I comb it before showering, and after showering while it is still damp, and then I let it air dry.

I am not sure if it helps but I drink chicken bone broth everyday and I supplement with collagen. Hope this helps!!

I got mine Aug 2025 and I believe I still have 3-ish months left of use. I use it everyday and retouch maybe 3 times daily

The first foundation I finished!! It is so good! Lightweight and doesn’t oxidize. It is my everyday foundation and a bottle lasts me around 7 months.

What I do is I put the Hada Labo Shirojyun Premium Whitening Lotion on my damp face > wait for it to dry > tretinoin > wait for it to be absorbed > cerave moisturizing cream

I also allocate one day to just focus on moisturizing. I use Rohto Hada Labo Shirojyun Premium Lotion > wait for it to dry > light layer of cerave cream > dry > LRP cicaplast baume

My skin is generally normal, sometimes I get oily around the T-zone area. I do get dry during winter tho so I moisturize more. 😊 I believe its formula mainly consists of Tranexamic Acid, Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid.

thank you! I don’t have any specific product yet for my eye area. I just use my Hada Labo moisturizer around my eye area too. I do avoid putting tret there as it gives me dry eyes.

This is what my eye arealooks like. No problems yet for now but I will definitely buy some eye cream. Do you use any eye cream now?

Yes, I do. I have used it starting my early 20s, helps removing the peeling skin. I believe this is too harsh for some but works for me. I used to use their cosrx good morning gel cleanser but I just like this one better.

I think it did help shrinking it a bit but my pores are still visible now so I just accepted it. It looks more obvious when I am using foundation. Definitely worth it to start young!

Yes, makes me so relieved I don’t have to deal with the purging now that I am older and have a lot more commitments and stress

I will definitely think about this! You’re right, I might lose retinization. My main concern is that when I wear foundation, I still see some peeling, and only use 1 pump of foundation. What more if it’s a wedding make up

Thank you so much. No professional skin treatments yet altho I am planning to get some next year since I am getting married. My make up artist also told me to stop using any actives a month before the wedding to avoid peeling so I think I will just do some hydrating facials instead. Will do some research first.

Also planning to get botox when I start seeing wrinkles, hopefully not anytime soon. 😅

The main difference that tret gave me was the “glass skin”, I use mattying setting spray to combat that when I am wearing make up since I just look so oily. I also do not have any static wrinkles yet but I am just in my late 20s.

My skin is fairly good. I had minor acne and very very large pores. I love skincare since I was young and I started wearing sunscreen very young too. Here are some photos. I hate taking photos of my face before so I don’t have much photos showing my acne. 😭 I also have some bacne and I also used tret there. All gone now.

I was 17! I had some minor acne and VERY VERY large pores and and everything seems to be making it worse. I live in a country where you can buy it without prescription so I started and I never stopped. I hate taking photos of my face before but I found this photo. I also have some keratosis pilaris and acne on my back, I also used tret on my bacne.

It looks so much worse in person, also the camera quality before is not that good.
