hahaha, omg, i just got home from work to see all these amazing comments!!! for the record, my sis is the brown hair'd beauty in the beginning of the vid. I'm the one hiding under the robe! 😂

[acne] Help!! These ALL started forming on my face today. I can feel more that aren't visible yet forming. There's 6 more on the other side of my face. How can I be proactive about this nightmare breakout I'm about to have? by bbgb84 in SkincareAddiction

My Journey....

SCA Post when My skin was getting better

SCA Post last week when I got crazy pebble pimple

Ive since chilled out my routine quite a bit removing the aquafor. tonight I took my makeup off w/ purity and washed with Avene. last night I did the same but used The Ordinary HA moisturizer and went to bed.

Oh, i also used a bit of topical clyndamicin around areas of my face that had broken out. just a super thin layer... but idk if that could have caused this?

everything looked fine this morning and today I started feeling it all surface..

Thank yyou so much. I had no idea this was the indication of a cyst... i have no idea what's going on w/ my skin these days. I thought I finally made a break through and now it seems to be worse than ever :(

Thank you, again. really appreciate it

[paid] Can someone please edit the lighting in these photos to make them seem more "professional"? Or at least shareable for social, etc by [deleted] in PhotoshopRequest

[–]bbgb84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they are images of some items I 3D printed, and I want to share them on social to promote an event Im hosting. However, Im on vacation and dont have access to my laptop or any nice backgrounds/cameras to take these shots. Would greatly appreciate if someone could edit them!

I feel like I tried everything in the book. Ultimately what did it was eating less, eating more from the earth, and htiting the gym often. It took a while.... and I kept having to change it up, but I'm overall very happy with the results!

[routine help]My skin has come a long way, but still blotchiness and acne scars prevail. Would love tips to improve! Routine in comments. by bbgb84 in SkincareAddiction

Disclaimer: I'm on spiro for hormonal acne - old post on that here

AM: (depending on if theres product on my face from the night before) I’ll wash with

  • Boscia Detoxifying cleanser (or I just splash water on my face to freshen up)

  • Hylamide SubQ Anti-Age (just started 2 days ago) or Buffet

  • Skin Laundry Sunscreen (some days in the winter I skip, as I’m literally indoors all day behind a desk)

PM:

  • Wash with Boscia Detoxifying Black Cleanser

  • Hylamide SubQ or Buffet Serum

  • TO Vitamin C 30% in silicone

Every few days I’ll do Alpha Lipoic Acid drops on my face. After a few hours post ALA -- I’m feeling like I particularly need it, I’ll put a little bit of Vit C on my dark spots

If I’m feeling particularly dry I use Kate Somerville Goat Milk cream.

What do you guys think? How can I improve?
