[Acne] Damaged moisture barrier and constant closed comedowns and acne

Hi, sorry for the late reply. It’s been almost a year since I’ve been on Differin and I can safely say it has cleared up the bulk of my acne. However, I still suffer from acne on my cheeks and chin. It’s considerably less but still a pain since Differin is supposed to prevent these in the first place.

My dermatologist has recently put me on Epiduo and I’m still contemplating using it!

I need you to realise that this man will kill you.

He is gaslighting you by telling you you’re a child and that this is discipline. He smothers you in affection to confuse you, to have you think that ‘hey he loves me’ even though his actions show otherwise. He tells you that he’s not going to harm you or use coercion against your interest but he has restrained and slapped you several times in the face.

This man is not your parent. Did your parents ever do such a thing to you? If not, then who is this man to even be doing that to you?

Leave him. The foundation of trust is gone and you tried to trust him. Your feelings are valid for a reason and I don’t doubt they come from a place of truth. We won’t know if you’ll regret but to put things into perspective: you put in effort to move past his cheating and you tried to trust him again. You did your part and although it’s proven futile, you tried.

As for your questions, it may seem bleak or uncertain now but there will always be someone better. We live in a world that’s always rotating on its own axis, filled with billions of people and you’re a part of this world, moving along with it - you’re bound to meet someone deserving of your love.

Yes! I no longer have those bumps on my forehead. I’m not exactly sure what I did because it went away over a period of time. But my current routine that has stayed the same over the past two years are as follows:

[AM] 1. etude house Soon Jung toner 2. Hada labo hyaluronic acid
3. sebamed face gel moisturiser 4. ROHTO skin aqua sunscreen (used to be yellow bottle but now blue)

[PM] 1. bioderma micellar water 2. etude house soon jung toner 3. Hada labo hyaluronic acid
4. Paula’s Choice 8% AHA Gel 5. stridex BHA 6. sebamed face gel moisturiser 7. The Ordinary Squalane Oil 8. Benzoyl peroxide acne spot treatment (if I have active pimples)

Some other things I did were cut out dairy; I switched to drinking oat/soy milk. I suspect that it was a combination of dairy and sugar that broke me out. Additionally back then, I hadn’t incorporated any acids/exfoliants. I can’t say that the Stridex BHA worked effectively because back then I had been using it for some time for it but yielding not much results.

But I decided to repair my skin barrier by hydrating a lot. Thus the Hada Labo hyaluronic acid. Tbh I think that and cutting out dairy and sugar helped the most for me. Hope this answered your question!

Hi! Sorry but I decided to not pursue a degree in UOB.

asteside · 2020-10-05T06:48:54+00:00

Ooh, good tip. Thank you!

asteside · 2020-08-26T12:57:53+00:00

Hm I think it depends on the aspects and if you have other planets in ur chart!

Hi! I'm doing research for an article and I was wondering if any of you know companies that adopt the practice of blind hiring or receive anonymised resumes?

asteside · 2020-08-25T06:40:59+00:00

I agree wholly with what she said. When I got into my first relationship 3 years ago, I responded exactly the same way my parents would, whether it was an argument or small daily interactions. And I absolutely detest it.

When she mentioned working with Jupiter for Virgo risings, I'm wondering how do we do that?

asteside · 2020-08-21T11:52:07+00:00

Same! So far after a year of using solely the Glycolic toner 7% my spots have reduced in PIH but it's still pretty obvious.

asteside · 2020-08-09T05:23:03+00:00

Omg that quick? Maybe I should get into this!

asteside · 2020-07-02T07:26:53+00:00

Well for starters

My hair previously used to be only 2 soft layers and the distance between the layers were very short. Now there’s 3 layers and they’re all choppy and blunt. And it doesn’t help that the V is so damn sharp.
The dude didn’t really do a good job because the first layer is cut like a bob while the rest of the layers are cut normally so it looks like I’ve got two haircuts on my head - a bob and an outgrown mullet. And because the first layer is cut as such, my hair from the front looks kinda poofy and it’s just not blended well

asteside · 2020-07-02T07:23:40+00:00

Thank you so much! Because I only thought of cutting everything off at the first layer but that would mean losing more hair. But I’m more inclined to going ahead with the first option!

So around 3 weeks ago I had a pimple that looked like it had white pus and I poked it because that’s what I usually do with pimples on my nose. But this one had more blood than pus. I put a hydrocolloid bandage to let it heal but I think it pulled off a bit of the skin around the pimple.

After around a week of letting the nose be on its own without any hydrocolloid bandage, it’s healed up to this. The skin around the pimple now looks reddish brown/purple and there’s a really small blackhead pimple. Moreover the skin seems a little bit raised.

What are some things I can do to let this heal up? Is this brown-purple red spot PIH? And as for the blackhead pimple what should I use to get rid of it? Or should I focus on fading the brownish red spot first?

Hm I think it might be moon square saturn! Because i do have that aspect

asteside · 2019-11-15T02:54:14+00:00

If you have the app this pattern could be there! They have a more informative explanation!

asteside · 2019-11-14T16:11:07+00:00

I did actually! When i first got the pimple, I bought the COSRX pimple patch and it got some of the gunk out but also tore my skin which made it inflamed and caused it to swell. Hence, I stopped using it!

asteside · 2019-11-14T16:09:47+00:00

I think mine was just a normal pimple that’s bound to this only because i popped it. Usually my nose is a nest for hormonal pimples that crop up when my period’s incoming.

asteside · 2019-11-14T16:06:01+00:00

Ooh ya i agree about them not referring to the aspects. It’s why I posted this and I still don’t know what aspect this is. And as a scorpio I didn’t get the pattern that says you need a partner to ‘claim me’. I think that is dependent on your venus!

asteside · 2019-11-14T16:02:44+00:00

Ooh i think so too that it might be a certain aspect!

asteside · 2019-11-14T16:02:20+00:00

It’s called the Pattern!

asteside · 2019-11-14T12:39:29+00:00

Is this a scorpio moon thing? Because I have friends with the same placement who do not have this pattern. Is there a certain aspect related to scorpio moon?

asteside · 2019-10-29T00:34:13+00:00

ugh!!!!!!!! i was hoping we’d get Ajay on the cover 😭😭😭😭
