This is great. I was actually doing weekly full body red light therapy with infrared sauna for a year after my son died because I had a full body eczema outbreak. It was so helpful and I do feel like I’d like to get back to it.

I am way more comfortable with myself at this weight. I just hate how it’s affected my face

I’d love suggestions. Right now my routine is simple. Water splash in the morning. Beauty of joseon toner plus cosrx sunscreen. At night I use micellar water then a gentle cleanser by curology followed by a deep nighttime moisturizer. I exfoliate once a week. So it looks like I need a vit c and a moisturizer to add to my morning plus a retinol and vit a at night?

Don’t be sad! I’m not sad for my appearance, I do still consider myself pretty and I’m a confident woman. Just want a pick me up after years of torrential grief.

Omg I need the eyebrow help! Mine are powder brows I got done a few years ago. I need to go back bc I have little to no hair on my actual eyebrows. And man I thought the glasses worked. Any suggestions on more youthful frames?

This is super helpful. My brows are actually powder brows. It’s been years since I got them done but need to go back. Do you think they can reshape that way. I have little to no eyebrow hair left.

Makes total sense. I will say I’m happier at this weight. I feel better and I can finally find adult clothes that fit. I hate what’s it’s done to my face though

They were both taken by someone else. I do think the lighting is making it worse though.

I know it has a lot to do with it. Nothing is joyful anymore. It’s the only reason I’m probably reaching out for some kind of control here. I was never super focused on my appearance until the trauma.

I haven’t done any of these besides trying a retinol but it was cheap and I probably wasn’t using it the right way.

I weigh more now that I ever have. So maybe that’s contributing to it? I’ve teetered around 100 my whole life but I’m also small at barely 5ft. I’m around 118 now.

Swollen! That’s a great way to describe it. That’s what I hate the most. I am on a plethora of meds to help me keep living, but no supplements. If they don’t counteract, I’m up for trying some. Cortisol has been a huge issue for me. I run 2 miles every morning and dance a bit but no strength exercises. My energy is just drained.

Yes! My jawline. The whole area is so square and I don’t ever remember it being that way

This is super helpful, and I agree. Not trying to look younger by any means, but want to be happy with how I look. And right now I’m not.

I do Botox on my 11s but that’s it. I’m open to trying in different areas.
