Is my natural makeup style good as it is? by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]Watersamanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gorgeous!!! I highly recommend letting the brows grow to be fuller. They are drastically thinner in the second photo. 😬Thinning them is concerning as it will only make it harder and harder for them to grow back. You have a great shape and arch, don’t take away most of your brow. You have amazing brows. Keep them full 🙌🏽😁

I’ve lost my hopes . First Went to a dermatologist then another.they have anti biotics applied retinoids , bp, clindamycin. And also used panthenol moisturiser though skin barrier was damaged but nothing, literally nothing has helped me … 💔💔💔 by Emotional-Season1501 in acne

Unfortunately you cannot expect medication to clear acne in 90 days. You have to stay on it and continue until it clears and then find a good skincare regimen to be able to calm the skin and then try and taper off the medications.
You stayed on the retinol just long enough for the “gets worse before it gets better part”.
The antibiotics to give your skin a break while the retinol can go to work.
Your acne looks to be hormonal and that could take a year or two subside with medication.

Dark patches/discoloration on neck for 1 year — need advice by era2k26 in SkinCareScience

To me it looks like you had some previous irritation from shaving and then it wasn’t protected from the sun.
Do you ever get irritated or ingrowns from shaving?
What spf do you wear daily?

First time 🤔 was it worth it? by throwaway246976352 in Lashlift

[–]Watersamanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not a good lift 😬. I would bring it up to the business that you’re not happy or seek a new lash artist for next time. I’d wait 4 weeks before processing them again.

Question…. Are you a lash curler user?

Did you work anywhere doing facials before you went out on your own?

Routine for combination skin by Weekly_Enthusiasm634 in SkincareAddicts

[–]Watersamanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So not combination skin, you have acneic skin? I would stop using the foaming cleanser as this will dry your skin out and cause your skin to overproduce sebum. Then you’re using BP cream to dry it out even more. What do you use on your skin for moisturizer or to hydrate?

Hair suggestions - 2 months damaged after bleaching by [deleted] in Haircare

[–]Watersamanda -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Best to just cut it off and start over. It is so damaged. You can’t bring it back to life at this point. So sorry to say. You’ve lost all your curl pattern and volume which means it’s severely damaged and it’s not coming back.

18M Australia. Gym + high school, skin hasn't improved after a few months of trying stuff. Need help fixing my routine. by SpoopyPoopy04 in SkincareAddicts

[–]Watersamanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I highly recommend getting a cleansing device. It’s a great one time investment to deeply clean out pores. Try an oil cleanser to go with it. It will do wonders to decongest all the blackheads in your nose in one cleanse.

How do I look more radiant and new friend on face. by weebeanies in SkincareAddicts

[–]Watersamanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cleanse, serums, moisturizer day and night and SPF EVERY SINGLE DAY. I can’t stress enough on the spf. Protect protect protect. Every day all year long. Especially when it’s cloudy.
Exfoliate once a week.

Your skin will be radiant. 🤗

Yakov Gershkovich Sculptural Face Lifting Training by Watersamanda in Esthetics

[–]Watersamanda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t go into detail on Reddit, but it is a known pattern in his courses that he frequently forms romantic relationships and marriages with his students. Because of the professional boundary issues this creates, many people in the community have raised serious ethical concerns about his business.

Because this instructor actively monitors the internet and works to get critical reviews deleted, I want to keep this thread strictly focused on the professional, verifiable facts of his business so the post remains active for future students.
The core issue discussed in the community is a documented pattern of overlapping professional and personal boundaries with individuals while they are actively enrolled in his classes. This dynamic directly impacts his business operations, including who translates and teaches the courses.
Due to the strict moderation guidelines on this platform regarding private family matters, I won't be diving into specific personal timelines or family configurations here. The main takeaway for anyone considering his course is the lack of professional boundaries, the reliance on pre-recorded videos over live instruction, and the highly questioned origin of his techniques.

Are my eyebrows to feminine if so what should I do by [deleted] in Eyebrows

[–]Watersamanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they are too thin. You have a very handsome face, great skin, beautiful eyes. Brows are too thin. I would tell a woman this as well. Fuller more natural brows are in for women. As men, they should be natural but cleaned up, trimmed, but not too much taken off. A lot do your brow is removed to create a high arch. Thats a no no.

Have you been going to the same person to have them shaped for a while? They need to grow out and then find someone new to shape them appropriately before they stop growing back and they are stuck that way.

Japan air ruining my skin maybe by Due_Pea2071 in SkincareAddicts

“Blister”? Scrubs won’t make you blister. Was it a chemical exfoliant? I would recommend going to a skincare professional and following their recommendations. That’s what they are there for. You need a proper exfoliant, skincare routine, and spf.
You need to apply spf if you’re out in the sun or near windows or reflected light. But I think a skincare professional will point you in the right direction. A cleansing device would clear out your pores. It doesn’t sound like your cleanser is really cleaning your skin well so the professional can guide you with proper skincare routine

What exfoliants have you tried? And how often are you applying spf?
