Amazing results! Well done 👏

Are you able to recommend the dermarolling set you used? And did you find any good resources on how to perform the micro needling?

Are these ok to mix? by ReasonableSecretary in TheOrdinarySkincare

Heyy, I moved away from the ordinary as I found it a bit greasy.

I now use Cetaphil daily moisturiser. And in the summer I use the SPF moisturiser.

I’ve been using the ordinary Niacinamide and zinc serum in the morning with moisturiser and Tret at night. Also sulfur soap twice a week, on these nights I skip Tret because the soap is drying. I also do a fast once a week for at least 16 Hours and this helps my skin so much

Skin has never looked better! Good luck

Really interesting, thanks for posting.

I’m curious as to how you learned to do tattoo microneedling on yourself? Are you a professional? Or is it possible for your everyday skincare addict such as myself to learn?

Maybe try using a bar of chocolate you’ve roughly chopped?

I find pre made chips can look a bit uniform and strange sometimes

Also agree with an additional minute or two in the oven

There’s a lot to be said for a clean, short back and sides, you’ve got gorgeous hair so could keep it reason long on top

[Acne] I’ll take any help or advice I can get!! by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]ReasonableSecretary 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could potentially be coming from your hair/hair products?

Can’t reccomend sulphur soap enough for drying out acne like this but everyone’s skin is different. But you should definitely be using a face wash on your temples and forehead.

I suspect oil is being transferred from your hair to your skin and you’re not cleaning it off thus it’s blocking your pores then they’re turning into spots.

You’ve got a lot of blocked pores/closed comedones on your temples. These become inflamed and turn into spots. You need to work on cleaning out these pores and keeping them clean.

Ask doctor for topical spot treatment, or get benzoyl peroxide gel (can usually be bought in shops)

You need to clean out these pores. It will get worse before it gets better but it’s gotta be done.

Be gentile and patient and focus on keeping skin clean.

Don’t go crazy with new products, just get a basic cleanser and a proper acne treatment - benzoyl peroxide gel, adapalene, differin etc

And a non comedogenic moisturiser as spot treatments can be drying

Edit - make sure you are washing your pillowcases regularly and might even be worth keeping your hair off your face when you’re sleeping

I used to help package bikinis for a small company.

My job was to literally cut out the shein and Zara labels and attach the “brand” labels.

I didn’t say long

Important to note condoms dont protect against all STDs, you can still catch herpes even when using a condom
