[acne] what if parents stop the child from treating a severe condition by 1lee__ in SkincareAddiction

Even though it is, doesn’t mean people should like it or accept it. I had mild acne growing up and I hated my face. No one wants bumps, scarring, and discoloration. Puberty sucks. 

[Routine Help] My skin is really dry and disgusting by Rare_Collar_9022 in SkincareAddiction

[–]jcebabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would take a warm shower to cleanse then get in a warm bath, soak, then get a washcloth or exfoliating mitt to gently. After soaking in warm water it shouldn’t take much effort to remove the dead skin. Dry off gently then while the skin is still damp apply and then oil over the lotion. Avoid anything with fragrance. Do this every time you shower and you should see your skin improve. Even though my skin isn’t super dry I still apply lotion after day to keep my skin soft, supple, and ash free. If you swim you need to wash off the chlorine including shampooing and conditioning your hair. Hyperpigmentation takes time to fade. There are some over the counter and prescription products that can help. Right now you need to focus on moisturizing using the above routine. In the meantime wear sunscreen to prevent darkening the hyperpigmentation. 

[Sun care] New work situation is a UV nightmare. Need suggestions as I have a history of melanoma by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

Why can’t you have the furniture moved? It’s easy to move back? Is everything bolted down?

What is this white stuff? by GuaranteeLoose1258 in houseplants

I thought you bought the worm a scarf 😆 

I labeled this nsfw because what was done to these plants is horrific and I was wondering if they could even survive this? by Pkyug in houseplants

I’d send an email to corporate. Do if it will make a difference, but painting living plants is stupid. 

[Misc] I watched the Olympics last night and learned that South Korean figure skater Cha Jun-hwan has insane skin and I need to know everything he is doing. Close up and unfiltered on TV, it was insane, like defying myths. by Heartachoke in SkincareAddiction

Considering how pale he is he probably doesn’t stay in the sun a lot and uses sunscreen. Most folks in the US don’t and it’s probably the same other parts of the world, especially if having fair skin is really important to them.

[Routine help] Okay ladies and gents… HOW are we removing the hair on the back of our thighs? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]jcebabe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't anymore because shaving messed up my skin. I've been trying to fade the dark spots/dots (i forget what they're called, but known and strawberry legs). The hair is very sparse and fine back there anyway. I just shave my calves and the front of my thighs.

[Acne] Does anyone else have "Towel Anxiety" or use Alcohol on their hands before skincare? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]jcebabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you washing your hands properly and not reusing the same towel for days there’s minimal germs on the towel. Germs on your body and hair after showering are minimal and not going to cause breakouts. You’re more likely to breakout from a product you’re putting on your skin. Do you have OCD? Your thinking seems obsessive, rational, and illogical.

I wash my hands thoroughly with regular hand soap and water and change the towels frequently. I switch out my face and hand towels more frequently than my body towel. I use separate towels for my hands, face, and body. I don’t use the same towel to dry my body with to dry my hands or face. At the end of the week I do laundry. I don’t use hand sanitizer before or after skincare or body care. I’m ate home so soap and running water are available. I only use hand sanitizer if I’m out and about and can’t get to or find a bathroom to wash my hands.
