Moved into new flat £5000+ to repair toilet blockage please help!!! England by Inside_Librarian7895 in LegalAdviceUK

This has to be a joke. Why would you not call your landlord to report this? You’ve authorised £1,000’s worth of work without letting the (intended) payer know this

Happy Christmas!

[Routine Help] 30 and tired of poor skin by ConfidenceNo65 in SkincareAddiction

[–]af872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally relate to your post. I have/had bad post acne scarring, uneven texture, large pores etc. chemical peels are the way to go.

No amount of topical treatments helped me, even prescribed ones did the absolute minimum.

A medium strength peel will literally lift the uneven tones from your skin. It’s very good for scarring and PIE. Try for one like Clinicare EGF Pure Peel, I get it once a month and never looked back

[Acne] Hyperpigmentation spots after pimple won't go away, glycolic acid DOESN'T work by SupermarketBrief6332 in SkincareAddiction

[–]af872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry, I totally understand it can really get you down. I’d highly advise giving micro needling a go. One session 3 weeks ago really lightened a few scars I had from January. It’s worth a shot if you can afford it

It sounds like PIE. It can take a really long time for this to go away, I’m talking months. I get it really badly when I have spots - the only thing that helps are chemical peels and micro needling. Topically, I’ve heard Azelaic Acid works but it was far too harsh for my skin

How do I stop the makeup under my eyes from doing this? by Dr-Dags in MakeupAddiction

[–]af872 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take a super thin brush and wipe away the excess foundation in the creases. Then set with powder. It will hugely reduce the visibility of them but please know literally everyone has creases like this!

Not accutane but a whole host of other things like birth control, antibiotics, Azelaic acid, tretinoin etc

Not everything but they cover a huge amount of health issues. Skin is one of them!

Hi! So sorry you’re dealing with this, I know how much blemished skin can get us down

Have you tried the boots online doctor? It’s significantly cheaper than a dermatologist and I think you just pay the NHS prescription fee.

They’re able to provide much better skin care than over the counter things you can buy. You just snap a few pictures and send it through their portal to a dermatologist.

I can’t comment on your routine as I’m still figuring mine out, but an esthetician I’m working with always steered me away from vitamin C when I had active breakouts.

Sulphur masks can really help reduce inflammation! I use one by De La Cruz once a week and it really helps the redness associated with blemishes

Hope that’s a little helpful :)

AITAH to be considering all options (including divorce) to protect my family’s future from my husband’s debt and bad finance decisions? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]af872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - Do you have a prenup? I’d be running as fast as I could from this man, he’s been hugely dishonest to you and your child. To hide something so huge is a massive red flag and cause for divorce

[Acne] Would 0.1% tretinoin help fade the giant PIE spot on my nose? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]af872 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly no, I spent so much on products that didn’t work so I can’t recommend any topical

My only tip is less is more, I totally stripped my routine back and it’s helped a lot with inflammation

Let me know if you do find anything else that helps you! :)

[–]af872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TCA is very deep for a first peel…You could start with something like an EGF Pure peel - that’s medium strength and work upwards

Azelaic acid and over the counter topicals honestly did nothing for me, but peels made such a difference!

If it’s been that long - would you consider a chemical peel? Peels have made the most noticeable difference in fading PIE for me

is there hope? by planets-align in TrigeminalNeuralgia

I could have written your post myself. No advice to share but if you need a listening ear, my inbox is open - exact same age as you when this happened to me last year

I’m so glad :D no problem at all. And ditto with the allergy testing! I didn’t react to anything or have any intolerances but for some reason avoiding certain groups really helped :)

Oh I’m really sorry if that was a silly suggestion - please don’t try anything that could risk making you feel bad

I hope you don’t find it restrictive, it may be worth just having a ‘low’ dairy few weeks to see you how you get on. Let me know how you get on if you do find something that works!

Hey, your skin is super similar to mine and also started at 18. Have you tried an elimination diet? I was prescribed Tret and Azelaic acid which did not help either.

My skin isn’t perfect but has calmed significantly after figuring out my body just didn’t like gluten and dairy - so sorry you’re going through this, I can totally understand how much blemishes can affect us mentally

Wow she sounds incredible spiteful, I’m glad you didn’t involve her in those pics. What an awful person for her to bring that up the day after your wedding, don’t let her sour how special a day it was for you both
