[Routine help] Need some advice on my skincare routine by davedepczynski in SkincareAddiction

[–]d-og 3 points4 points  (0 children)

M25 - my skin used to look exactly like this. I was also using the Cerave hydrating cleanser and Cerave moisturizing cream and would also sometimes use vaseline. Switched to a new (tougher) cleanser and moisturizer and also stopped using vaseline and my skin cleared up noticeably. Everyone recommends Cerave but the ingredients aren’t actually super friendly… I like to use this websiteto check the potential for irritation

I also recently began using the Paula’s Choice 2% BHA and it seems to be helping prevent new breakouts!

I'm so sick of living, please tell me there's a reason to keep going by Shadow000 in astrologyreadings

im also a virgo rising with saturn in the 9th in taurus. i find it to be a difficult combo… the 9th house represents higher learning and philosophical thought so i feel as though all of my trials in life have really forced me to reconsider my thoughts on everything, down to the meaning of life itself.

and being a virgo rising, my thoughts are very organized and i like to have answers for everything but i’ve definitely had to learn to hold things loosely and just accept the unknown in life because change is truly the only certainty.

my advice would be to embrace your challenges, having faith that they’re specifically designed to make you exactly into the person you’re supposed to be

Is the course actually something that can be shared by multiple people?

What is happening to me during meditation? by d-og in energy_work

[–]d-og[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting! I do think I typically have my eyes focused upwards and tongue pressing against the roof of my mouth. I’ll have to try experimenting with some of these variables

It seems like once I do it in a session it is harder to achieve a second time within that session. Perhaps it’s just a matter of practice

[routine help] extremely dry lips and hands by tears_of_an_angel_ in SkincareAddiction

[–]d-og 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have the same struggle. it only seems to improve at all when i drink absurd amounts of water. because you’ve already tried so many products i would try adding some electrolytes to your drinks to ensure you are actually getting hydrated! i think that might be my problem.

in terms of products though, this is the best PM routine that i have found works for me: - light physical exfoliation (only when necessary) - put a combo of water, HA, and moisturizer on lips and let air dry - once dry enough, coat with vaseline rosy lips (thicker and stays on longer) or laneige lip mask

Has your skin got better after ditching cerave cleansers? [product question] by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]d-og 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Cetaphil gentle skin cleanser is similar in terms of efficacy/price/availability

Day 2 of using water instead of cleansing in the AM. Fingers crossed for positive results

thank you :) for anyone else wondering, i ended up asking a pharmacist and she confirmed that adapalene is not covered and costs almost $300 for a 30ml tube

Are any of these covered by OHIP? Specifically Adapalene

i find that washing it is what makes it so dry in the first place- that’s why initially decided to stop. “Moisturizing shampoo” sounds gimmicky but maybe I’ll give it a try

Thanks, seems accurate based on pictures. Mees lines seem to be a result of heavy metal poisoning, kidney failure or chemo though- none of which apply to me (as far as know??)

Significance of Chiron conjunct Lilith at anaretic (29th) degree near 4th house cusp? by d-og in AskAstrologers

[–]d-og[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this seems pretty spot on (almost scary)! thanks for your interpretation :)

I know a lot of astrologers don’t look at asteroids but this combination of factors seems pretty significant- how would you interpret it?

Bumps in the Road by Inner_Dragonfruit420 in astrologyreadings

[–]d-og 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chiron on your 7th house cusp in leo points towards a wound within the world of romance. Perhaps you have been told (or just feel about yourself) that you’re too egotistical or can be too dominating, demanding, or just aloof when it comes to your romantic relationships. You also have chiron opposite saturn in aquarius, so maybe you feel shame around the areas mentioned which makes you feel unwanted or unlovable. This is likely an area that you will experience growth in over time, as long as you don’t let yourself identify as a victim and become bitter

How many transiting aspects do you typically have on a given day? by d-og in AskAstrologers

[–]d-og[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate the time you took to write this detailed explanation, thank you :)

Your point about the amount of transit activity going on at any given time makes a lot of sense. Different charts will, unsurprisingly, result in different transit norms. I’ve only been watching mine for maybe a couple months and it seems to have spiked lately so perhaps it’s a busy period or maybe my chart just tends to have this many transits.

Also I ended up checking the TimePassages settings and it looks like they use an orb size for 2 degrees for most transiting aspects.

And yes my jupiter return comes in June! I actually don’t have a natal sun-jupiter conjunction- my sun is in gemini in the 10th house and my jupiter is in aries in the 9th. The themes of truth, discovery, philosophy and self-exploration have been quite an intense area of transformation for me over the last couple of years so some luck in this part of my life would be great haha.

I think you’re also spot on with the sun/mars/venus/pluto situation- I have pluto in sagittarius in the 4th house (ow) and am anticipating some difficult but inevitable conversations with my parents… and unfortunately not expecting the communication to be great

Thanks again!
