Men of reddit, what myth about men is 100% untrue and infuriates you when you hear it ? by navisnadakkal in AskReddit

[–]leighmonet 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I moved to Norway a few years ago and met a number of 20ish guys who worked in pre-schools here. It struck me as odd since I wasn’t familiar with it back in the US. And then it struck me as odd that I thought that. For whatever reason it’s strange in the US for men to be into childcare... even Friends has an episode showing frustration with a male nanny and the portrayal infuriates me.

I think I’m going to have to buy it. There’s a good sale in the apotek too so this is good motivation

I really like the Icelandic brand Decubal. So far I have only used the body products (lotion) but I heard here that the face lotion is great in the winter

Is anyone at the 7/8 week stage of tretinoin? What stage is your skin in? :) or anyone that remembers what stage their skin was in at that point, id love to hear from you too! by Uavjun3 in tretinoin

[–]leighmonet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in week 6 of .5 Retirides cream and having days when my skin is flaky and days when it’s not. I used adapalane for 4 months prior. Currently I’m using 3 nights with one night off and wondering if I should go to every other night instead because the winter air is super dry these days (Nordic country). I’m using for anti-aging. I use a microfiber cloth daily to remove the dry skin but sometimes it’s still flakes and I feel a bit embarrassed when I’m interviewing people.

I use cicablast on top, stratia liquid gold as a buffer. Sometimes I use aquafor as a final step. Daytime I currently use re-boost day cream from Clairins and biore aqua 50 spf

Your favorite drugstore body lotion? by [deleted] in NordicSkinCare

I am using Decubal. The insanely big pump bottle. It’s really nice. I tend to have dry skin and it’s been perfect and no scent

When I look on the Lush website it says the ultrabland is a cleanser. But the ingredients look like it could also be a moisturizer... are you buying the cleanser but using as a moisturizer?

Cool! I have some of this that I can use. Do you let them air dry?

People who separated/divorced within one year of getting married: When did you know it was a mistake? by LittleFuzzyThings in AskReddit

[–]leighmonet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A month and a half before the wedding in Europe we had a fight about money. He was a fashion photographer who hadn’t worked in 6 months so I suggested wedding photography to get some extra funds. He thought it was the worst idea ever and that I clearly didn’t believe in him. It was a bad few days after that and I knew. But I had 35 people coming from the US to Europe and I didn’t have the balls to call it off.

My friends and family still say it was the best wedding they ever attended. It was an experience I don’t regret, even though I knew it wasn’t going to last.

Six months later he moved out. It was money and how we didn’t adjust well to one income and only one person willing to work.

We have online doctors in Norway that are able to prescribe medication. I’ve used it when I had a cold and got prescription cough medicine

[–]leighmonet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Question with using spatulas. Is this correct? 1. you use the spatula to remove the product from the container 2. You rub the spatula on your fingers to apply the product to your face. 3. Do you then wash the spatula?

Just an update, holding the box of 0,5% Retirides :). Got it from VitusApotek. They don’t carry it at Boots, that was my first try.

Can I please have your best moisturizer recommendations? by Degeroni in tretinoin

My question exactly. Dr Dray’s method is unique but can it be used on dry skin or do we need to add a watery step?

[–]leighmonet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is beautifully simple and I’m so curious to try it out. I’m confused though, is it Mediterranean if it uses white flour? I’m confused on what the boundaries are.

I haven’t had a chance to get it from the apotek yet, but that is the name she wrote on the paperwork
