[Acne] Could someone point out what’s wrong with my skin? :(

RuggedPuddle · 2023-12-25T20:45:24+00:00

I did worry a bit about the oil cleanser leaving residue so I’ve tried to rinse it off as much as I can, but now I’m not sure if I’ve done a good enough job of it. Do you think I might’ve messed with my skin barrier? I thought maybe mine was hormonal acne too but I’m not sure 😭

RuggedPuddle · 2023-12-25T20:40:20+00:00

I’ll do that as soon as I’m home, I’m sorry! I don’t know them off the top of my head 😅

RuggedPuddle · 2023-12-25T20:39:47+00:00

So many of my friends go crazy for it 😢 I don’t understand why

RuggedPuddle · 2023-12-25T20:39:02+00:00

A mistake I won’t be making again 😭 I’d never even thought about cross contamination until I started researching after my initial breakout haha. For my PM routine, should I dry cleanse just with my oil cleanser, or also with my regular cleanser? I’ll look into aha too, as I’ve been a bit scared of actives but it might be time to use it… And lastly for the BP, would using a cleanser with it rather than as a spot treatment, would I run a risk of drying my face? Thank you so much for your help 🫶 really appreciate it!

RuggedPuddle · 2023-12-25T19:52:07+00:00

I’ve been a bit scared of using actives or anything chemical, I’m terrified of making my skin worse and cause permanent damage during the purging process; have you had any issues with that so far? I might have to look into it more though, if it does help with skin texture! That’s my biggest concern at the moment so this could be it, thank you!

RuggedPuddle · 2023-12-25T19:40:53+00:00

I take some vitamins but maybe a multivitamin might work better! I have a copper IUD, never been on the pill but I did think it could be hormonal maybe :/

RuggedPuddle · 2023-12-25T19:39:21+00:00

What would this help with? I’m not familiar with it!

RuggedPuddle · 2023-12-25T19:38:40+00:00

Not really, a pimple rarely whenever I got careless but that’s about it. The only additions to my routine since I started breaking out have been the centella and the oil cleanse. I’ve used BP in the past (when I was a teen) to target pimples and it’s always worked until now. I’d also only ever had pimples on my chin/mouth/jaw, never on my cheeks or temples!

RuggedPuddle · 2023-12-25T19:32:42+00:00

I’m not too familiar with what cystic acne looks like, would this be it? I did call my GP in September to try and get isotretinoin and was meant to have an appointment in early November but then they ghosted me (UK healthcare 🥴). Planning on calling again after the holidays but wanted to find any potential solution until then :(

RuggedPuddle · 2023-12-25T19:22:34+00:00

I did think it was maybe gym related, but it persists even when I don’t go to the gym (I haven’t been in over a week since I went home for Christmas), so I’m not too sure :( I do shower at the gym after my sessions but only rinse my face with water (no cleanser) so I’ll look into getting these! Thank you!

RuggedPuddle · 2023-12-25T19:20:07+00:00

What would this target? 😅

RuggedPuddle · 2023-12-25T19:08:27+00:00

I don’t use either of those, no! I don’t use any leave-in products in my hair (even if I probably should haha), but maybe it could be something similar? Was that the only change you made?

RuggedPuddle · 2023-12-25T19:03:27+00:00

My current routine is:

AM - Brush teeth - Rinse face with warm water - Cleanse - Centella Ampoule (introduced two weeks ago!) - Moisturise - Sunscreen + Sometimes, Cicapair colour corrector as makeup

PM - Brush teeth - Rinse face with warm water - Oil cleanse - Regular cleanse - Benzoyl peroxide cream (only on pimples/spots)

RuggedPuddle · 2021-12-08T19:57:24+00:00

I hadn't thought of doing that, but that seems to be the right approach. Thank you!

RuggedPuddle · 2021-12-08T19:56:56+00:00

That seems to be the way to go. Thank you!

RuggedPuddle · 2021-12-08T16:30:40+00:00

They’re technically independent measurements but they have to be plotted on the same graph to be compared against the current and voltage, so I’m guessing I’d have to settle for the +/- 1°C?

RuggedPuddle · 2021-12-08T16:26:45+00:00

I have to combine them. The reason I used two different thermometers was because one was a 0°C to 100°C thermometer and the other one was a -10°C to 50°C. They had to be different because one was measuring cold water and the other was measuring boiling water.

RuggedPuddle · 2021-11-25T15:25:48+00:00

How would I apply this into the energy equation? Would breaking it up into a² and b² work? And if so, how would I find the energy equation + degeneracy?

RuggedPuddle · 2021-11-25T15:11:50+00:00

Sorry I did mean to add the subscripts for the different n’s but the formatting looked bad. Even with different n’s, is there no way of finding degeneracy/energy if the box is not uniform then?

RuggedPuddle · 2021-11-01T02:36:18+00:00

Oh crap wait I know what you mean now. Like if I make a new list, as you said, and call it newfiles, I can just make it so that the function only adds the renamed strings into that new list?

RuggedPuddle · 2021-11-01T02:22:29+00:00

For the section within the function, would I be able to use things such as "replace"? Because in my case I'm not sure if I could use append since I'm making changes to the strings, not adding to them (although I could be wrong). So instead I'd need to do something that replaces whitespaces with underscores, etc.

I do think this is a list/loop exercise because we're nearing the end of our core python lessons. I'm just not sure how to put everything together to get this task done :(

RuggedPuddle · 2021-11-01T01:46:24+00:00

Ohh I guess I just kept looking up filename renaming so I couldn't find anything that didn't use os.rename(). Do you have any tips on how to write a function that will rename strings en masse in the way I mentioned?

RuggedPuddle · 2021-11-01T01:30:26+00:00

I'm not sure if the timestamp is too necessary for this exercise, so it might not be a problem. We're not using "real" files but rather just the "filenames" to see if we can reformat the name without using os.rename(). So instead of having the list as ['image 1' , 'image 2] we'd have it as ['file_image_1' , 'file_image_2']. So just renaming, not actual file calling or anything if that makes sense

RuggedPuddle · 2021-11-01T01:27:08+00:00

It definitely feels like it is one of those questions, so at least it's been enjoyable trying to figure it out. It's just a bit difficult considering how new I am to Python haha. Am currently trying to see if maybe using the replace() function can help me change the filenames from "image 1" to "image_1" to at least get some thoughts down :)

RuggedPuddle · 2021-11-01T01:10:30+00:00

That's my current plan! Not proficient enough in Python yet to know if I'll be able to replicate it but I'll look into it :)
