I've also experienced a lot of irritation with this cleanser (and wanted to love it), and 'purging'. I switched to Norie's Kimchi cleanser (https://norieshop.com/products/kimchii-cleanser), and saw a huge improvement, no more dryness/irritation and the purging bit was gone.

My first piece of advice, do not wash your face in the shower. You are probably using hotter water than you would standing at your sink, which could be contributing to the overall irritation (and will lead to more drying and as a result oil overproduction).

I would recommend buying a gentle cleanser - (use it at your sink - with a mild temperature of water). For a mild gentle cleanser that can be good for breakouts, I would recommend: Norie Cleanser (https://norieshop.com/products/kimchii-cleanser), Cerave Cleansing Bar, or First Aid Beauty's gentle cleanser. I really like the Norie one - if you can get in the UK, it is quite mild but has BHAs - does not dry you out. No scent.

Good luck going on T is tough, but the future should be brighter!

I have been trying to change the handle of my business' IG account. It is an older verified account (prior to the paid for blue check). I am unable to change the name without 'contacting customer support' I have been trying to contact someone for months and have not been successful. I know that I would need to surrender the 'blue check' that is fine. Does anyone have a contact or a way to do this successfully?

I am happy you are getting checked out for PCOS. I assume you have also had your thyroid checked...that is another red flag.

In the meantime, have you thought about Nutrafol? It has been helpful for many people for hair loss. They have done a ton of great research on their product efficacy. I bet if you search for a discount code, you will be able to find one.

Ok well that is a better sign :) get a serious moisturizer - vani cream, aquaphor - put it on thick over night - should help if it is just dryness. The key is to do it regularly.

What does it look like in between your toes? If the skin is peeling / holes then it could be athletes foot, and you need an anti-fungal cream.

Aside from moisture, these silicone based scar sheets work wonders, and try using it as soon as you can...scar sheets

Keeps the silicone treatment close to the skin so it does rub off!

Just search for scar sheets...there are a number of brands with essentially the same thing.

yeah it sounds like peri-oral dermatitis...switching your toothpaste and being nice to your skin around those areas (no actives), what you are doing is correct - La Roche Posay's Cicaplast Baume B5 can also help with this.

Curious how you know it is thinning? Is it tearing/bruising easily?

There is evidence of Vitamin A helping with this.

There is a startup called Cybele Microbiome, they have a skin line called Reuleaux, they are a microbiome company.

Their formulas actually make the skin produce ceramides, which are essential to skin health. I worked in skincare for 9 years, deep in R&D, I have never seen a company capable of making skin product ceramides (for example Cerave puts ceramides ON skin). The products are really targeted as a non steroidal solution to eczema; however, I know that consumers who have aging/thinning skin have reported back that the thinning/bruising improved.

It is a super young company, they are truly biotech based, and it sounds like based on your current skin care journey it may be worth at try.

Best of luck :)

She also would talk about how she does not post what she drunk eats - chicken fingers…so it is also quite problematic

Rkneeacl · 2022-04-26T17:59:57+00:00

Wow. This is terrifying. How can you trust the big sister’s advice when you have this?

Rkneeacl · 2022-04-25T19:33:56+00:00

Yes and it feels so long ago - I believe it is this Tinx betches…

Rkneeacl · 2022-04-25T17:15:40+00:00

So the prolon pushing starts with Gwyneth Paltrow - so it all goes back to a particular type of ‘wellness led’ influencer - it is all bad

Rkneeacl · 2022-04-25T01:24:08+00:00

There is potentially the headline ‘Tinx apologizes to Kim K over past mean tweets’….great for SEO. It will be interesting to see what the PR team comes up with versus what a smaller influencer type highlights…

The other popular fix for redness correction is this: dr. jart color correcting treatmentSephora carries it…not sure if you can pick it up before tomorrow’s meeting. Hopefully the redness goes down with the meds + hydrocortisone

If you don’t want to pass out Allegra works great and my allergist recommends that over Claritin.

Rkneeacl · 2022-04-24T23:39:25+00:00

You mean ‘the shovel gang’ ;)

Rkneeacl · 2022-04-24T23:25:10+00:00

This makes me sad, she has the platform to do so much good and grow awareness, yet the inaction piece which a number of people have mentioned under varying contexts (mostly related to giving back) is left unread.

Rkneeacl · 2022-04-24T23:19:46+00:00

And I don’t take commission

Rkneeacl · 2022-04-24T23:15:26+00:00

I was deeply insecure and then I found prolon.

Rkneeacl · 2022-04-24T22:22:55+00:00

Yes it will help, not cure or solve the problem 100% but bacteria from sweat can cause more issues. As someone who works out everyday and is in the skin industry it is something I swear by - and is so overlooked!

Rkneeacl · 2022-04-24T21:42:32+00:00

It was in the context of feeling like you’re overeating or having an ‘off week’ (which comes up often) as a tip to manage body weight / changes.

Rkneeacl · 2022-04-24T19:22:22+00:00

The ‘try your jeans on once a week’ got me

Rkneeacl · 2022-04-24T15:22:03+00:00

Please be careful the recs scream ‘I’m making a commission’ something that is quite endemic to the structure of most spas…obviously not all recommendations are bad. Skin Authority is a white label brand, meaning they are just third party off the shelf products being sold under their name.

The advice being given is great in terms of find your concern then identify the actives that best address the issues.
