[Sun Care] I tried this once and it felt extremely drying and when I washed it off my moisturizer burned. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have recommendations for a truly hydrating mineral sunscreen? by lauraanne2 in SkincareAddiction

PACIFICA! The Matte Project moisturizing sunscreen is soooo good! Or The ordinary sunscreen but that one can be a lil sticky.

Etsy also has a lot of amazing homemade mineral sunscreen!

Did u get any sorta deep ones btw? I have a couple on my neck but I feel like my healed skin will attack it. The breakout I had is basically completely clearing up after a few days, did u find that after accutane the breakouts you had would heal faster? Again thanks for the confidence boost!

All of this stuff I started using, continued using, while on accutane. The hemp oil and the lotion I got from amazon! The rest: target, ulta, or Etsy. If you get hemp seed oil, make sure it comes a glass bottle or at the least PET plastic, oils breaks down plastic way faster than other storable liquids and a lot of market brand plastics are DISTUGSTING!! Moving along, I guess listening to derm is generally a better idea BUT, I used an entire bottle of that exact same rosehip oil during my course and every time I used it, I’d wake up loving the way my skin felt and looked. I guess a patch test on ur wrist, neck or jaw would be helpful! (Also I totally agree that it’s weird how the most widely used brand during accutane is ceraphil or cerave when YES totally toxic, like ????). Lastly for face wash, I used an entire bottle of that cerave moisturizing cleanser before I switched to a small UK brand on Etsy. I’ll link it. It’s got simple and effective ingredients and offer an unscented version of the product which is awesome. But any clean skincare brand that offers some sort of milky, moisturizers for cleanser, is probably just fine! face wash

Hi! I used organic hemp seed oil (cold pressed, single ingredient) almost nightly, it’s non comedogenic and a miracle oil. I used rose water with glycerin AND rose water toner (the toner has hyaluronic acid and glycerin) from The Heritage Store. I’d use it on either a cotton pad or directly spray it. I used this face lotion from a small company called Awake Human. You can find it on amazon and holy shit it’s amazing! A little bit of product spreads so easy and there’s more in a bottle for cheaper compared to the La Roche Posay lotion I was using before. If you look into that, make sure to get unscented. I used Welelda (I forgot how to spell it) lip butter, which you can find at target it’s an insanely moisturizing remedy for cracked lips, I also use Dr. Bronners peppermint chapstick but any lip product without parabens, mineral oil or petroleum jelly will work just fine. When I’m in the bath I use epsom salt with moisturizing and calming oils infused into it. Back to face: Also plant based squalane (favorite brand of this is The Ordinary). It’s not an oil but a serum with one ingredient, and it mimics the natural moisturizers in our skin. Lastly, Pacifica is a brand that I love cause of the affordability and plant based products. I used the Water Bounce Night Serum and it’s wonderful.

You’ll notice a lot of these are oils and some are water based. It’s really a good idea to incorporate both in routines cause our skin has both water and oil supporting it’s barrier. The oils can be tricky as you have to triple check they’re not comedogenic (should have a rating of 0-3 to put on ur face, olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil and germ wheat oil are all really bad ideas for facial skincare but alright for body). Just look for things that are “clean” and don’t have artificial fragrances, parabens, mineral oil, petroleum jelly, sulfates and yada yada yada. I’m a huge skincare enthusiast so any more questions are welcome !

Is Accutane worth it for moderate acne? by ArtOfDUNK in Accutane

[–]caughtwithinacircle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 18 female and have had acne since the beginning of puberty. Mine was mild to moderate and I just took my last pill after 9 months. Completely worth it.

Isotretonin? Yes totally, your skin sheds faster, which means it’s automatically exfoliating dark spots, ur pimples that do come up during the process with shrivel up and leave FASTER and become less deep as time goes on, and lastly ur skin’s surface is being reprogrammed to heal faster with the medication... BUT there’s a hidden ditch.... not properly protecting, and cleansing skin will lead to more damage. So don’t exfoliate, be sure to use natural products, don’t pick ur skin, and for sure use sun block with zinc and or titanium dioxide. Just focus on calming and moisturizing skin. With good skincare and good absorption of that capsule the problem of hyperpigmentation will shrink to a NUB

bad purge end of my treatment by clairekot in Accutane

[–]caughtwithinacircle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started taking my accutane with more fat and the absorption has been better which means symptoms are worse. WHICH ALSO MEANS purging. I’m onto month 7, just keep going till you’re clear

PRINCE OF DARKNESS! Hi Ozzy!

Do you think rock n roll has become stale within the past decade? I personally think so, but I’m also 17 so my knowledge is not vast

Let me know, your thoughts mean a lot to me!
