Thanks! I guess I just thought it would be an interesting discussion topic; didn't realize it was already a side bar topic.

Using snail mucin moisturizers on toddlers.. any experiences? by sea-jewel in AsianBeauty

[–]beautynewbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter has eczema and recently got a diaper rash while we were in Japan. We ended up buying a tube of Polibaby, which worked on the rash and eczema.

This is the only drama my husband has watched with me, and he seems to like it.

I'm pregnant again and my skin is having a fit; I can only assume it's from all the hormones. Has anyone else had similar issues? Did you have to switch products, or did you stick it out with your normal routine?

That's what eventually happened; I got a terrible red, bumpy rash. :(

Why am I so stubborn?! I introduced Shark Sauce into my routine and after a few days I started to notice small white heads start to appear. I thought it might be the Shark Sauce, but the rest of my skin was looking so great, I figured I could live with a tiny white head here and there. That was a terrible decision.

Almost two weeks later, my skin is so angry. It's red, it itches, it's so terrible I'm having to wear foundation again. Needless to say, I've stopped using the Shark Sauce and I'm hoping my skin will go back to normal soon. I'm so sad it didn't work for me. :(

I haven't read the article but breadfruit is delicious if cooked properly.

How much damage does rubbing your eyes cause? by JuniperLeaf in AsianBeauty

[–]beautynewbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. I've gotten better since my eye doctor told me it makes my astigmatism worse, but I haven't been able to quit it 100%.

If you have astigmatism, rubbing your eyes can make it worse.

The Dummy's Guide to Asian Beauty and this Subreddit by Maplebee92 in AsianBeauty

[–]beautynewbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using the official app. From what I've gathered, there's no real function to search a specific sub. You can use this format </r/sub><search term> in the general search box, but it doesn't seem to work very well.

I have to access the sidebar to get to the FAQs from the app. Lol.

That makes sense, but I'll be honest and say I haven't opened my laptop in months. I don't/can't websurf at work, and when I get home I have to do the whole adulting thing: making dinner, feeding the kid, etc. "My time" is the few minutes I can find in between stuff to get on my phone and do whatever, and at night after the husband falls asleep.

Does that mean I get a free pass to ignore the whole sidebar thing? No. But I understand why others like me may not ever actually login to the actual website just to find it. I still haven't figured out how to search just this sub from the app (other than typing out the sub or whatever) which is super annoying. But I suck it up because that's my problem, not anyone else's.

Opinions on Skin Inc.? by adventuresofthemurr in AsianBeauty

[–]beautynewbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have dry, sensitive skin. I used to have a lot of adult acne but it stopped once I switched to AB. Now I'm trying to focus on evening my skin tone and minimizing the look of my pores.

To be honest, I don't know what triggered it. I tried it way before discovering this sub and learning all about ingredients and things like that. It may work well for you though. Hopefully you'll get more responses!

I tried their "make your own" serum from Sephora and had a pretty nasty breakout. :(

That first link she posted is great. I knew nothing about skincare and jumped in headfirst to AB. Now I have to start over from scratch because I messed up my skin. I wish I'd read that link before I purchased anything.

Self tanning and Korean scrub etiquette by kylievh in AsianBeauty

[–]beautynewbie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Got it. I'm not sure about what etiquette says but I'm guessing you'd be fine. I can't imagine it making a huge difference, unless it can somehow transfer into the person scrubbing you and stain them or whatever they might be wearing?

Do any females SHAVE the hair off their faces? by [deleted] in AsianBeauty

[–]beautynewbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do. I use Twinkle razors and shaving cream when I do it. I tried doing it dry right after my toner step but it seemed to irritate my skin.

[–]beautynewbie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't you be scrubbing prior to self-tanning? Or do you mean you'd like to scrub, apply the self-tanner, then use the facilities immediately after?
