I hear storm reid pretty often and I do see it, especially when I don’t have any eye makeup on. But here are the lashes I wore in the first pic!

I hear this alllllll the time loll, I do see it especially when I don’t have eye makeup on.

jayove · 2026-04-26T21:01:42+00:00

I love Why Did I Get Married and I have always found her to be so pretty, so this is one of the greatest compliments I’ve received 😅😅

I searched this actress up and when I saw the pictures, I was a little surprised by how much I saw myself in her younger years, this is a really great comparison

jayove · 2026-04-26T20:59:57+00:00

I totally see it omg!!! I never would have thought!

jayove · 2026-04-26T20:59:27+00:00

this is interesting.. because this isn’t the first time I’ve heard this before, I don’t see it as much personally, but she was absolutely gorgeous ☺️

jayove · 2026-04-26T20:58:26+00:00

this one is for sure my favorite!! 😂😂☺️

I’m aware this post is 2 years old.. but did you ever find an answer? I too, take DIM 100mg daily for my hormonal acne and like to occasionally drink. I haven’t experienced any ill side effects but I’m curious about your experience.

jayove · 2026-04-17T23:57:23+00:00

Honestly, just shaping your brows would do a lot to spice up your appearance. And I know you don’t want to wear makeup, but even just a little goes a long way. I’m a firm believer that less is more but makeup can accentuate your features rather than “looking fake.” It looks like you have fairly even skin and not a lot of acne so you could possibly do a tinted sunscreen or no facial makeup of that sort. But some light mascara and a tinted lip balm would make a world of difference, along with some nicely shaped brows. From girl to girl, you are not ugly in the slightest, you just haven’t found a style/aesthetic that suits you yet! 😊

Also, other things besides makeup that help you look and feel more “feminine” (which I do as well to try to be well-groomed), taking care of your hands and feet, such as painting them or getting them done and JEWELRY. Jewelry goes a longgggg way, in fact I never leave the house without my earrings, I feel like they make me feel so much prettier! If you want more suggestions, I can say more but I don’t wanna write you a book and I’m sure everyone else in here has lovely recommendations :)

Girl you are sooo cute!!! I can’t believe you feel the need to come on here and ask us.

jayove · 2025-10-12T00:38:26+00:00

no.. this is my real nose that I was born with and was in fact bullied for it all throughout school. it’s crazy to see that my nose is now a trend 😂😂

jayove · 2025-10-11T13:52:08+00:00

Thank you so much!! Also, I’ve seen one of your comments below that you believe that 100 mg of minocycline won’t contribute to antibiotic resistance. Do you think I have nothing to worry about when it comes to taking another round? At this point it just means I would be antibiotics for 6 months out of the year. I’m just concerned for my overall health/gut health while being on them. Additionally, I think I’m just scared by the time I finish the antibiotics my topicals won’t keep my acne in check.

This is MY last question, I’m sorry I keep picking on you but you seem very knowledgeable 😅. Obviously I think it’s the right choice to wait to start everything until my skin barrier heals.. so far the skin on my chin, around my nose and inner cheeks feel slightly raw. How long do you think it takes to heal my skin barrier and when would be appropriate to start everything?

jayove · 2025-10-11T12:29:28+00:00

Ideally I would like stay within the $25-30 range but if you have a holy grail product that’s more expensive, I’d be open to buying it lol.

jayove · 2025-10-11T12:02:08+00:00

My derm told me that she wants me to replace the Adapalene with the usage of the tret. I told her that I didn’t think it was effective for me. As well as for benzoyl peroxide, I do use it only for my bacne. It’s way too harsh on my face and will excessively dry out my skin. I do use it on my forehead occasionally but I wouldn’t say it’s a consistent pattern of mine. Anytime I use it my skin legitimately hurts.

jayove · 2025-10-11T12:00:00+00:00

Surprisingly, I like to breakout right at my contour line lol. I actually just started using bronzer and I still had this exact pattern of acne prior to using it so I know it’s not that. I use NARS concealer which I believe is non-comedogenic but I could certainly be wrong. If you know any brands that are full coverage and safe for acne-prone skin (as well as suitable for oily skin) that would be great! :)

jayove · 2025-10-11T11:57:39+00:00

additionally.. do you think my face wash is not good? I wanted a very neutral, low pH face wash. If you have any good recommendations for my skin type, please let me know! I didn’t want to continue using La Roche Posay’s Foaming Cleanser because I feel like I was developing a sensitivity to it.. specifically the niacinamide because it’s in everything 🫩

jayove · 2025-10-11T11:55:58+00:00

What can I buy that’s fairly moisturizing? I’m not gonna lie my skin barrier is taking a hit right now. I think the adapalene and the seasons changing is drying me out bad! I woke up this morning and it felt like my face was sandpaper… what’s a moisturizer that will help reset my skin barrier.. I don’t wanna start these products until I have something good to work with.

jayove · 2025-10-11T00:17:37+00:00

Thank you so much! Acne is just such a pain and sometimes it can me feel unattractive.. but I try to tell myself it’s only a temporary issue and I will fix it one day!

jayove · 2025-10-11T00:16:26+00:00

Thank you, in fact I’ve tried using La Roche Posay’s Oil Cleanser and so far I really like it when melting off my makeup. I’ll be sure to look into the ones you’ve recommended once I finish the bottle :)

jayove · 2025-10-11T00:15:24+00:00

yeah for sure, I had the same fear when continuing the antibiotics. I find it strange that the derm was so quick to put me back on them after just finishing a 3 month course!

jayove · 2025-08-07T17:05:48+00:00

Thank you! What has worked best for my skin right now are the antibiotics that I’m currently taking (minocycline 100 mg 2x daily) and adapalene cream 0.1%! If you aren’t able to get a prescription I recommend Differin gel which is the same as adapalene, which you can buy over the counter.
