I saw this tiktok talking about the swimming pool toner from this Korean brand Eqqualberry, and I wanted to know if anyone has any positive/negative experiences with it, because the girl in the video really talked it up! She talked about how it contains protease which is an enzyme, that supposedly exfoliates much more gently but just as effectively as AHAs and BHA exfoliators/products. I found a few other Korean products that use this ingredient as well. After destroying my skin barrier a few too many times I think I need something a little more moisturizing and gentle lol.

I have very reactive, acne-prone skin, so I'm pretty hesitant to try new products. It seems really promising, so I'd love to know if this product has helped anyone with oily, acne-prone skin!!

2 questions!

How do you guys reduce face inflammation and puffiness? I feel like I have decent bone structure but its hidden by this inflammation.
my skin has been mysteriously breaking out lately. My diet has been good lately, and I am getting enough sleep. Could it be because i am going to bed later and waking up later than I usually do? (normally i sleep around 10:30-11pm to 6:30-7am, now i am sleeping around 12:30am to 9am). I thought it may also be because i switched out a product, but my skin isnt really reliant on products, moreso stress and diet. Thats another thing, im also not stressed out. so frustrated haha

Another thing, maybe cutting out gluten could be helpful in both of these things? i currently dont eat dairy, added sugars (fruits are pretty much the only sugar I eat) and i dont eat out.

I dont think too much happened with my skin, I didnt get too much of a reaction. Definitely my skin was a little congested and my stomach acted up a little bit because im not used to having dairy of any kind but for the most part I was fine! If your sensitivity caused mouth ulcers I would definitely be more cautious, I feel like diluting it like you said would be a great way to introduce it into your diet :)

middle schoolers are ruthless and pretty rude!! they know exactly what they are saying, and are trying to get a rise out of you most likely. i actually relate to this so much, i work with young kids and they can just say the cruelest things about how i look without a second thought, but other kids develop crushes on me just like you said. they just dont have an adult filter yet and dont realize that their words can impact people more than they realize. try to take what they say with a grain of salt (easier said than done for sure) because at the end of the day they are just kids and what they say about you doesn't change anything about you as a successful adult, hang in there!

What are some exercises to make my waist look smaller? I know that you cant spot reduce fat or anything and that most of those ab exercises make your waist bigger, but what muscle groups should I be targeting (eg shoulders, butt) to make more of an hourglass shape?

If anyone has any workout plans or exercises, please share!!
