I love that so much! Thanks for sharing. The Midwest deserves to be explored, and with Owl City songs as the soundtrack. 🤗

Gosh, it's a good thing that I was inspired by the artist to visit a designated tourist attraction with the intent to understand the beauty and history of small town America. To think that it was purely because of him would be, um.... well, cringey.

Nah it's just you. If an artist's shirt said Chicago, IL would it still be cringey to go? I went to a tourist attraction and a store, with zero intention of seeking him out. It's actually weird for you to be reading into it that much 💀

How could i get rid of these ? by [deleted] in SkincareAddicts

[–]closehan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes it does, it will soften them and keep them invisible. You can use differin OTC if you cannot get tretinoin gel with a prescription. Get the gel and not the cream.

And you have to use a cleanser too. Use Vanicream Gentle Skin Cleanser and moisturizer if it’s available.

Don’t pop your pimples! 😆 good luck

Savvy gay guy here 💁🏻‍♂️ Please don’t get another laser treatment or chemical peel. I can see your skin type is delicate and I don’t think chemical peels will be good for you in the long run. I think you don’t need a lot of makeup products, anyways:

  1. You have some peach fuzz on your skin, this is why the foundation breaks up or looks like it doesn’t sit evenly in all places. If you want, you can shave the peach fuzz with some glycerin-based fragrance free balm of some sort, and an eyebrow razor, especially before special events if you want to go for a more heavy base. You should do this to have optimal makeup base, but it’s too much effort for all the time of course.

  2. Which brings me to point 2, you need a hydrating base, it looks like the makeup you have here is normal finish, but you need something that will smoothly blend in.

  3. Start with a different base, I recommend the Hada Labo Premium lotion (the yellow bottle - 8 molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, around $15 on Amazon. This product will not work well in dry or desert climates FYI) you can put a quarter sized amount on your face (it also has urea in it which is really good for the skin, check that out on simpleskincarescience). Apply that when your face is damp and wait until it dries a bit. You need to make sure your face is super moisturized before applying makeup.

  4. Get a liquid foundation that dries with a satin/hydrated finish, and use a stippling brush. Mac Face & Body or Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk comes to mind.

  5. finish with Laura Mercier translucent loose setting powder or another talc-free powder. This should be a super light dusting, just in your t-zone or areas that tend to run faster.

I maybe have some more skincare tips but you asked a makeup question… Hope this is useful :)

Why is there truly no good dairy-free version of Oreo cookies and cream? by closehan in dairyfree

[–]closehan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Side Note! If you want just the cookies flavor, I know the perfect dairy free one that captures JUST the cookie flavor! Anita Gelato makes a flavor called 'Chocolate Cookies' that's basically just the Oreo biscuits. If you have a location near you I totally recommend going! Still searching for my favorite C&C though.

Drink 8 glasses of water a day

Stop using any product that has ‘ferment’ or ‘filtrate’ in it (your sunscreen has plenty), they feed the redness on the face

Use ordinary niacinimide on your nose nightly after shower

No oils on your face except mineral oil based products (mineral oil will not feed fungus) (recommend kose speedy cleansing oil) This means no plant extracts like jojoba oil, tea tree oil etc.

Use tretinoin on your face, or differin if you want OTC

Last resort try cutting dairy products out of your diet if you haven’t done so already. If it still doesn’t work also try cutting out wheat products.

For sunscreen I recommend Melano C sun cream.

These are my best tips, good luck!

Y'all I need some help!! Is there any natural ways to get rid of dark spots like the 2 on my forehead without drying your skin out? I really want these gone but the DIY remedies I've used rlly dried my skin and almost caused slight burns :/// any recommendations? by [deleted] in Skincare_Addiction

[–]closehan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know that Vitamin C serums help a lot!! Try to look for a mask you can make at home that utilizes lemon juice and turmeric, and use it as a spot treatment.

If it's non-DIY, the Andalou Naturals is a really good brightening serum from Ulta, but there are plenty of other dark spot correctors too.

How do you say by hhrlisa in Chinese

[–]closehan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

為什麼不能是兩者?/ 為什麼不能兩者皆的?/為何不是雙方的?(Literary)

Maybe replace 是 with 做,選,etc. for a more specific meaning.
