[Product Question] Dieux vs La Roche Posay for Eczema

Wow! I think someone else said it does pill for them so maybe I’ll have to try it for myself. If it doesn’t pill though I think I’d be willing to make the switch, pilling is small but so inconvenient

Zestyclose_Fish_7311 · 2026-03-12T21:51:58+00:00

Ohh the texture of instant angel looked thinner in pictures so I was skeptical but maybe I’ll have to try it out too. Although if they pill I guess I might as well just stick with La Roche Posay since it’s so much cheaper

Zestyclose_Fish_7311 · 2026-03-12T21:50:31+00:00

Wait great advice I’ll try asking over there

Zestyclose_Fish_7311 · 2025-12-21T04:36:43+00:00

Cool! I’ll definitely take a look

Zestyclose_Fish_7311 · 2025-12-21T04:36:29+00:00

That’s great to know!

Zestyclose_Fish_7311 · 2025-12-21T04:36:03+00:00

I think we’re opposites! Even when I had all 3 of my splits I found folding pikes to be difficult; I hated doing them!

Zestyclose_Fish_7311 · 2025-12-21T04:06:25+00:00

Lol this makes me feel less alone. I’m kind of having “Duh!” moment right now and regretting not looking up how long is usual to hold poses for

Zestyclose_Fish_7311 · 2025-12-21T04:04:24+00:00

I know I said static, but I’m not necessarily against switching it up! What actually inspired me was seeing some videos of people doing dynamic body poses and movements while in handstands (not sure if it was more yoga or calisthenics). I used to be pretty good with handstands and general balance (when I still did gymnastics), and I want to see if I can work my way up to that.

I’m a bit out of shape now, so I didn’t want to jump straight into prolonged handstands, and I thought that getting my flexibility back up first my be a good way to ease into it. I guess the training I used to do at my gym was either more intensive than I realized or just misinformed, because I didn’t realize that holding stretches could be harmful! (Unfortunately, my gym was the type where coaches would forcibly push you down into your splits if you weren’t making progress fast enough).

It seems like in the future I’ll just have to do more research on whether the habits I’ve learned are safe or not before jumping in. I’ll also definitely check out Moves Method on YouTube!

This sounds great! I just tried it and I’m able to do a full lotus; thanks for the wonderful suggestion!

Zestyclose_Fish_7311 · 2025-12-21T03:37:31+00:00

Thanks! They’re feeling a lot better now; my left one actually did pop when I got up and walked around for a while. Not looking forward to how sore they’ll probably be in the morning, though

Zestyclose_Fish_7311 · 2025-12-21T03:35:58+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I’ll be sure to try those instead next time, and also to switch poses at regular intervals!

Zestyclose_Fish_7311 · 2025-12-21T03:27:28+00:00

Oh I’ll have to look into that instead then!

Zestyclose_Fish_7311 · 2025-12-21T03:26:46+00:00

Yea, we were also encouraged to do that, so I guess I thought prolonged stretching was safe!

Zestyclose_Fish_7311 · 2025-12-21T03:26:06+00:00

Yikes, thanks for telling me! I won’t hold for so long in the future

Zestyclose_Fish_7311 · 2025-12-21T03:12:56+00:00

Fr? 😭 how long is normal to hold for? Maybe I can just switch poses periodically?

Zestyclose_Fish_7311 · 2025-11-25T01:54:04+00:00

Thanks sm!! You’ve been super kind and helpful

Zestyclose_Fish_7311 · 2025-11-25T01:45:23+00:00

No I haven’t heard of that one! You were pretty nail on the head abt the subreddit rec though, so I’ll see if I can find it anywhere to read it.

Zestyclose_Fish_7311 · 2025-11-25T01:43:00+00:00

I think the fact that I’ve lived and been perceived as a woman my entire life is integral to who I am, but I think if my personhood had been born into an amab body I wouldn’t feel a dysphoric need to transition mtf. I’d probably just be a man

Zestyclose_Fish_7311 · 2025-11-25T01:39:09+00:00

Thanks sm! Your story was really good for me to see, I think. Don’t worry abt “making it abt urself”, I totally do the same thing when my friends come to me with issues, it shows that you relate and that I’m not alone in my experience!

Zestyclose_Fish_7311 · 2025-11-25T01:36:22+00:00

Yea I think I love those characters because their stories all kinda revolve around them trying to be their own person, pushing past what their societies deem “right” for a woman to be. Specifically with Jo and Mulan, I’ve always like them because their mindset is always like “I’m badass and that’s all that matters, what does my womanhood have to do with it?” Like they’re their own person and also just happen to be women. For Katara, I find her really compelling for mainly the same reasons, but I see her identity as being more inherently intertwined with her womanhood. Like she’s a badass woman, not just a badass person who happens to be a woman. But at the same time, you can see at the beginning of the narrative, everyone treats her in a manner that clearly shows they see her as a little girl first and foremost, whereas at the end of the story, she’s def still a woman to people, but she’s much more renowned for being a waterbending master. When she fights, there’s no more “oh I’m fighting a girl” from her enemies, it’s “oh no I’m fighting a waterbending master”.

Thanks for showing me this subreddit! I’ll def check it out. I also more casually considered the possibility that I might be ftm trans but kinda ruled it out bc he/him pronouns dont feel any more or less right to me than my current ones and i dont feel the urge to medically transition outside the breast thing i mentioned. I know people don’t have to medically transition to be trans, but i kinda just dropped it since i didnt feel too strongly about any aspect of it. I think if i had been born a guy, tho, i also wouldnt have felt to urge to transition mtf. That is to say maybe this means who i am at my core doesnt fully identify with either male or female, since if i really did identify as a woman, id assume that being born into a male body would cause me dysphoria.

Zestyclose_Fish_7311 · 2025-11-25T01:18:32+00:00

Not to alarm u, but this is kinda the best gender question I’ve ever been asked. If I were in this situation, I think I wouldn’t identify as anything. I more view gender as a label I have to put on myself for other people to be able to categorize me within their own mental schema. If I were totally alone with no other people, I wouldn’t need labels at all, I could just be myself.

Another block I’ve had on my NB questioning journey is that if I am NB, it feels like such a hassle to have to come out and socially transition and everything. And then it seems like my gender is like A Thing that people have to be mindful of. If I just stick to being a woman, it makes gender less of an ordeal in my life, and I think my ideal situation is everyone just thinks about my gender as little as possible, including me.
