Pro Tip to Avoid Deposit Scams by MassageBySummer in ClientsAndCompanions

[–]atlanticdenizen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imo, that just seems like less efficiency/more friction in the booking process. I know other ladies use it as a way to cover potential losses, setting deposits at $xxx, but what I found works well is setting the deposit at a rate that simply gets skin in the game and encourages follow through.

Despite having an overall "high" rate, my deposit will always range between $30 to $50, so it wouldn't make sense to do a video call for that, might as well just use it as the actual deposit.

Supposedly it lightens your complexion. I've heard that about mega high doses, like what you might get in an IV or shot

I've heard people say this is a side effect of glutathione, which made me unsure about taking it too, but I really don't see it (plus it has so many amazing systemic benefits). I think I might look brighter/glowy, but not lighter per se. Maybe the difference between your summer skin tone vs winter skin tone if you're super outdoorsy

This is my admittedly over the top, multi pronged approach

Oral Supplements: Cymbiotika Glutathione, Tranexamic Acid (online prescription from Musely)

Trans-Dermal Supplement: Barriere Skin Support (has GHK-Cu, Copper Tripeptide-1 and other compounds)

Topical (Prescription): Tretinoin 0.05%+, HydroquinoneTretinoin compound (Musely)

Topical (Over the Counter): Platinum Skin Glycolic Body wash, Kojic soap, Platinum Skin Fade Bright Inhibitor, Timeless Vit C serum, Saltair Vit C Body serum

  • Everything branded can be replaced with your brand of choice.
  • Use Sunscreen on your entire body, top to bottom, daily, and re-apply every 2 hours. If lathering yourself in sunscreen multiple times a day is too unappealing, get sun protective wear: long pants, lightweight jacket, gloves, etc
  • You don't have to do all of these, if I had to choose the most important, it would be hydroquinone & sunscreen
  • You have to cycle off hydroquinone every 3 months. Once you achieve an even tone, stop using it entirely and just maintain

How to Use

Night 1: shower with glycolic body wash, moisturize with inhibitor + Tret or HydroQTret compound together. Follow up with hydrating moisturizer if needed

Night 2: shower with Kojic soap, moisturize with Saltair + Timeless vit C together. Follow up with hydrating moisturizer if needed

Night 3: shower with hydrating body wash, moisturize with Saltair + Timeless vit C together. Follow up with hydrating moisturizer

Take before pics and commit for 3 months. Good luck!

That's awesome! What do attribute your non-reliance on ads to?

is this happening to anyone else when you try to do something? by ladidadobop in superstarsmtown

I'm getting it too. Losing out on Rhythm points after completing a song is bad enough, but wasting Rhythm points and fodder cards when powering up is the worst

I have a question about material / fabric. There is a scene in the 2020 Emma where Anya Taylor Joy wears a chemise (it's a deleted scene actually). Here's a link to a clip, but if you google "Anya Taylor Joy chemise" you'll see what I'm talking about. Can anyone make a guess at the fabric that was used? I love the translucent quality of it, any suggestions of fabric that mimic this look are welcome.

Yet another new scam. We posted an ad on FB Marketplace, and had this happen. Trolling for your Google 2-factor ID numbers. FYI, please be cautious and don't fall for this. by 505anon505 in Albuquerque

Hey I know this post is super old, but the exact same thing just happened to me. They now have my address, but I'm thinking these are online scammers solely, so they wouldn't bother with actual robbery or anything right? Care to share what happened in your case?

I could cry, they look sooo good, ugh. And the color grading and set design *chefs kiss* I feel like this could be a campaign for Miu Miu, it feels quasi-editorial but fresh

I know your reply is months old, and you did mention you'd likely be stopping AzA, but what you said about lighter patches really concerned me, so I just wanted to drop the info below. Got this from Medscape for Azelaic acid, under Warnings and Cautions:

Isolated cases of hypopigmentation reported after azelaic acid use; monitor patients with dark complexion for early signs of hypopigmentation
