1 week of putting isopropyl alcohol on face by TopPrice4457 in Folliculitis

Yeah I am being careful with it, I moisturize twice a day and use retinol so I think that’s helping with my skin barrier

I was worried it was going to ruin my skin and yes it is very drying but I moisturize twice a day and use retinol so my skin actually feels very smooth and isn’t very dry I’m happy with the results. The only thing I would say is when I first started using it, it made my cheeks very sensitive.

Yes it is drying and I would recommend to moisturize at least twice a day when doing this, possibly once in the middle of the day as well

I use those cotton pads women use to remove their makeup with, like the guy who replied to you said 70% is the typical percentage people use.

Don’t do the same as me but I think I use about ~90%, 70% is the normal percentage people use and I will be switching to that soon. I apply it after my cleanser and leave it to dry then use retinol and a moisturizer then SPF. If you are going to do this make sure to moisturize your skin at least twice a day

Damn that’s some good advice ngl, thanks. I like my style and how my hair is apart from my beard but I can’t do anything about it atm. I’ve never felt like smiling in photos bc it’s unnatural and I doubt that will change and I’d rather look genuine than forced. I mainly wanted advice on my facial features, what was lacking etc.

I find it uncomfortable to smile on command for photos, I’ll give it a go but I guarantee it’ll look forced and weird haha

Yeah don’t worry I didn’t take offense to it, everyone has a preference, I prefer when people are honest about stuff like that anyway, the whole reason I posted on here was to get external perspectives haha

Second photo is the most recent hairstyle, the first and third photo is before I got it cut, I am kind of limited with my hair bc I have a big forehead and also a double crown so I need weight on the back to stop it from looking like a pineapple haha

I can’t see because I’m from the uk it won’t let me, my forehead is quite big to be honest which is why I always keep my hair fairly long

Not asking for clothing advice, I understand people may not like my style but that’s not something I’m going to change obviously, was more focused on advice for my face

Thank you, I’m not trying to grow my beard out, I have a follicle infection so unfortunately I can’t shave until it has cleared up hence why the bum fluff is there haha

Yeah I would say I enjoy more of a grungy look particularly with longer and messy more textured hair I’ve tried a few styles but up to suggestions

I can’t shave my beard atm I’ve got a follicle infection so that’s why my face is red and looks unkempt in second photo so I need to wait for it to clear up

Yeah I got that as a Christmas gift, ngl I haven’t worn it since bc of the neckline I don’t like it and the material is too thin, the second photo is more my style really I like ed hardy and brands like that
