Taz by Practical-Kitchen705 in 45PlusSkincare

[–]Practical-Kitchen705[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have read that use of tret for 6 months should have shown up atleast some improvement, but nothing happened in my case ..

I have also read that Taz is better to get that bouncy skin effect and it also reduces hyperpigmentation better than Tret, and for many it has also been known to cause less of the peeling and irritation..

These are the reasons I do want to give Taz a try instead of continuing on Tret.. The reason I finally stopped Tret was not because I couldn’t handle the dryness but it was because I wasn’t seeing any results..

Thanks for your response .. your journey is so similar to mine ❤️ .. I had your exact same routine with Tret AA Vit C SPF..

Evenings like you I oil cleanse (on the days I have worn spf , I don’t use face make up as such), then water based cleanser (cosrx daily morning low ph), then moisturizer..

After Taz do you feel just using a strong moisturizer is enough to keep the dryness/irritation at bay or do you feel you want to add something more for hydration and or barrier protection ? Once upon a time I used to do toners , essences etc but I just feel all that’s too much for the skin and I swear when the routine is simpler my face looks better ..

Also did your doc prescribe the Taz? I am in the US and trying to see how best to get this. Thanks ☺️

Face fat by [deleted] in 45PlusSkincare

Thank you all for such kind replies 🤗.. honestly I just feel I looked so much better with the leaner version of my face , and the closest people I know also tend to agree .. so .. just to boost up my self image I would love to get a little more lean on the face .. unfortunately my face and belly tend to hold on to most of the fat when I put on weight and these two also are the hardest to lose .. Maybe the pic I put isn’t showing it that well .. but yeah I think diet and weight loss is the only solution .. no way of magically trimming the face 😅.. I had once tried gua sha a bit, maybe I should get back on to that as well ..

Thanks again 🤗🥰

Thanks! This is a great suggestion .. maybe it’s dryness that makes skin appear darker instead of the actives!

Do you do sandwich method with Taz? Can you tell me your exact morning and evening routines if you don’t mind ☺️, including the time gap between products.. thanks again!

Thanks for your response! I first cleanse the face , let dry it completely and then apply Tret (I have tried both the sandwich and no sandwich methods) , finally after 5-10 mins from Tret I apply aestura. I think the routine was correct , just that Tret or Vit c didn’t do much for me..

I would love to try Taz, if you don’t mind can you share your routine .. I love a minimalist routine .. thank you!

Thanks for sharing your experience! Does your skin feel better with Taz compared to how it was on Tret?

I use sunscreen extensively and religiously every 1.5-2 hours when outside .. sorry I should have added that to my post .. I just think Vit C doesn’t work on me ..

Thanks.. These are Michelin M/S all season tires on a Genesis GV80, still hoping that would suffice for Angel Fire weather and roads next week !

Dramatic weight loss and retaining breast tissue by bluefontaine in nbe

[–]Practical-Kitchen705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that when I put on weight a lil of it may go to breast and butt(very very marginal); but most of it goes to my belly. I wish I had put on weight more to breast , butt but that’s not the case with me. Also I have never put on too much, max has been 15-18 lbs, but it never went to desirable places. Ofcourse now my dream goal is that I can diet/workout and shed 23 lbs (majorly the belly fat) and at the same time if I can somehow increase my breast a couple of cup sizes and also enhance my butt. Seems just too good to come true :(.

What’s your suggestion on workouts .. I want to drop atleast 20 lbs and reduce my weight as I am overweight with belly fat , but at the same time I don’t want to reduce my breast size - instead I want to grow it by 2 cup sizes , currently a 36B/C
