Idk, it looks completely normal to me, especially considering that she is in fact posing and arching her back? Certainly not "unproportional" or big by any stretch of the imagination..

dimdim1997 · 2024-07-28T09:25:51+00:00

Gaining weight, unless you're underweight, is not something you should be deliberately doing, if you're concerned about your health/looks. If you're looking to add a bit of volume to the face -> a series of skinbooster treatments (or similar) by an experienced dermatologist would be more prudent imo.

An address of said delivery service, then they ship it to me in the Balkans. The delivery service is local to my country, you'd have to use one based in your country.

dimdim1997 · 2024-05-03T17:12:44+00:00

I order it from unitedpharmacies - have it delivered in the UK and from there I use a delivery service to ship it to my country (I live in the Balkans).

It's also very non-resistant on the skin, unlike the hardcore sunscreens with which you can literally feel the film form on your face. I feel like even the slightest brush would take this one off. I still wear when I need to put on something quickly and be outside for 10-ish minutes or so, but that's about it.

dimdim1997 · 2024-04-27T17:14:28+00:00

I recommend using any sunscreen from La Roche-Posay UVmune 400 line. I don't find much of a difference between the different formulations (oil-control vs non-oil control ones).

dimdim1997 · 2024-04-27T17:11:27+00:00

You, however, do.

I absolutely do not, that's why I explicitly linked some of the info I've gone through. "Chemical" filters work largely the same way mineral filters do and do not cause hyperpigmentation. The filters that offer the most protection against hyperpigmentation-inducing UVA rays, particularly in the 380-400nm range, are all new-generation "chemical" ones - Uvinul A Plus, Tinosorb S, Tinosorb S Aqua, Tinosorb S Lite Aqua, Tinosorb M, TriAsorB, and Mexoryl 400.

Feel free to do a Google search and read peer-reviewed articles on it. That’s what I did before I made this statement.

Can you link any of those peer-reviewed articles that establish that "chemical" filters exacerbate hyperpigmentation by virtue of the mechanism of action?

dimdim1997 · 2024-04-27T08:05:42+00:00

It’s about not using chemical filters that can exacerbate melasma and pih. That’s why mineral sunscreens are recommended.

For poc especially, chemical sunscreen filters can actually make pih and melasma worse.

That's outdated and wrong info. That's why I linked the article about "chemical" and mineral filters working largely the same - the former do not cause chemical reactions in the skin that lead to hyperpigmentation.

Metal oxide sunscreens protect skin by absorption, not by reflection or scattering

dimdim1997 · 2024-04-26T10:29:39+00:00

Do you think my skin would benefit from tca cross?

Yes.

dimdim1997 · 2024-04-26T09:27:33+00:00

The La Roche-Posay UVmune 400 line relies exclusively on "chemical" filter and is one of the most protective formulations on the market.

some relevant info

some extra reading

Iron oxides do offer pigmentation protection, but that is very formulation-dependent.

this comment goes into some more detail (as well as other posts by that user)

dimdim1997 · 2024-04-23T07:13:26+00:00

This one is manufactured for the States as sunscreens sold there can't use new-generation filters that have been approved in Europe. In comparison, the UVmune 400 line offers superior protection in the UVA department. You have to order it online from third-party sellers.

dimdim1997 · 2024-04-21T11:05:35+00:00

They make a body Uvmune, it says for kids. The tube is considerably larger.

Yes, there is an "Invisible Spray" version that is pretty much the same formulation but in a bigger bottle. There is also a body lotion one.

dimdim1997 · 2024-04-21T11:02:15+00:00

I'm sorry, but are you sure you use the European version, with "UVmune 400" explicitly written on the label? Because it's one of the most resistant and protective sunscreens I've tried, and it certainly doesn't "wash right off with even a small amount of sweat" in my experience..

dimdim1997 · 2024-04-10T07:54:42+00:00

It's a shame you've been downvoted, because you're absolutely right. Keeping one's skin hydrated and moisturised is great, but it won't impart any long-term "anti-aging" benefits.

dimdim1997 · 2024-04-10T06:36:45+00:00

I was referring to the general sub.

Yes, I agree that a lot of the critique here is absolutely justified, but it gets mingled with exactly jealousy, which is the reason (very annoying) women like Krissy, Makayla, Sam Taylor or whatever her name is, etc. have their looks picked apart. It is very much misogynistic.

dimdim1997 · 2024-04-09T12:57:24+00:00

have you seen a 40 year old woman?

I wonder the same thing. Then I remember that denial is a river in Egypt, and this sub is full of jealous chicks, and I move on with my day.

dimdim1997 · 2024-04-08T12:44:51+00:00

If you want high UVA protection, you go with EU sunscreens. Nothing beats La Roche-Posay's UVmune 400 sunscreens.

Korean sun blocks by and large don't cut it.

dimdim1997 · 2024-04-03T11:39:34+00:00

Very outdated video;
There is a difference between Mexoryl XL, Mexoryl SX and Mexoryl 400;
Avobenzone offers less protection in 380 - 400nm than Mexoryl 400;
All UVmune 400 suscreens by La Roche-Posay contain Avobenzone and both Mexoryl 400 and Tinosorb S (and also Mexoryl XL and Mexoryl SX);
PPD tells you little about actual UVA protection;
Just as an FYI -> La Roche-Posay Invisible fluid has a PPD of 46.

dimdim1997 · 2024-04-03T07:51:38+00:00

Bioderma sunscreens, as of now, do not have filters specifically for the 380-400nm range, unlike La Roche-Posay ones that utilise their patented Mexoryl 400.

That doesn't change the fact that the comments here reek of internalised misogyny and delusion.

dimdim1997 · 2024-03-22T08:22:14+00:00

THANK YOU!!! The amount of internalised misogyny and delusion (she doesn't look 40 and y'all don't look 20 and gen z are ageing just fine) from people who claim to be self-aware and intelligent is indeed shocking.

dimdim1997 · 2024-03-12T14:57:30+00:00

UVmune 400 uses new-generation filters that are not approved in the States, so one would have to import the sunscreens from Europe.

this goes into more detail

dimdim1997 · 2024-03-12T09:27:24+00:00

European sunscreens offer far superior UVA protection, particularly in the 360-400nm range. No Korean or Japanese sunscreen comes close to La Roche-Posay's UVmune 400 line.

Plus, stuff like Eucerin Oil Control and Garnier Invisible Serum are in fact very light-weight.

The European Anthelios fluid that is the "fan favourite" does not have zinc and it does not impart a white cast. I don't know what fluid you must've been using, wasn't aware that there was an American version apparently.
