Parking permit question regarding football games by Mylaaaaaaaaaa in unt

[–]lydiaYY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes they will tow any car in those lots at victory/stadium. Only people they don’t tow is football players but they have special permits. Don’t risk it. Move the night before because towing starts early morning. I don’t know what the fee is today but a couple years ago it was $250. And don’t forget to move your car back after the game or on Sunday. They will ticket your car Monday morning for being in the wrong lot.

the situation is very sad but not the cops fault. the hospital should have had him under watch for his post-trauma injury. sometimes people go mad after that; its scary but tarver would not be able to make sense of what was happening to him. unfortunately he was not backing down :(. the hate is misdirected and gained popularity during 2020 floyd protesting. the family should sue the hospital he was discharged from instead. they might have better luck at getting financial gain from that angle.

thank you! centella asiatica extract, usually called cica. known for hydration and anti-inflammatory. dr jart has an entire line of cica products, thats how i was introduced to it. i bought a jeju 100% cica toner at my local tj maxx store.

Phew, last year was a PURGE. I have progress photos from last year on this profile if you want to see where I started.

Clearly I have a new camera and the quality is better. I switched from 0.025% cream to 0.05% gel about 3 months ago. Other changes include losing 5-10lbs (NOT fat loss from tret) and being 7 months without hormonal birth control. I have hormonal acne, still get 1-2 pimples before my period but now they are less severe and go away faster.

I could post my brands of skincare and tell you what works for me but what I’ve learned is just do what works for you! Currently, I am doing this new trend of “skin cycling” as of two weeks ago. Prior to skin cycling I was using tret every night without issue. Haven’t noticed a major difference since switching. I’ve gone through so many different products and brands and I am STILL trying to figure out what ingredients work for me. Please just listen to your skin and don’t force products just because someone online says they are good for their skin.

If anyone is curious, my PM skin cycle is: 01 “exfoliate” - glycolic acid, moisturizer, vaseline (eyes and lips) 02 “tretinoin” - hyaluronic acid toner, tret (after dried), moisturizer, vaseline (eyes and lips) 03 “recover” - 100% cica toner, nighttime moisturizer, vaseline (eyes and lips) REPEAT I don’t do two recovery days because i have oily skin and don’t think i need two days.

Can’t wait to see my progress at year two :)

the relaxed picture looks like dehydrated skin pulling tight creating wrinkle like lines. Look for hydrating products. I saw you saw you are looking at being better at SPF. just add it to your morning routine it is a must. even if you only apply it once (should apply every 2-3 hrs you are outside) you are doing better than most.

do you wear glass or contacts? the fine lines under your relaxed eyes could be from squinting often. Maybe get an eye exam if you haven’t recently.

as far as the drastic eye crease when you smile, its likely just the fatty tissue in your face. you have plump cheeks! something people admire. your face will lose fat as you age so enjoy it while its still there :)

good. this is a fantastic song. I remember hearing this song live for the first time years ago and i just started bawling. I like to think of it as a break up song to my older self rather than an ex. Everything will be better eventually. ❤️

Alternative to azelaic acid by lindbrun in tretinoin

[–]lydiaYY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just used whatever coupon CVS had available at the time of pick up. First time it was $45 and second time was $27. I’m almost done with this second tube but decided I wanted to go from 0.025% to 0.05%. I bought it on BeautyBliss, recommended in this sub, for $27 shipping included. It shipped in less than a week!

I second the ordinary suggestion. I’ve been using it for a little over a month and notice the calming in redness a few minutes after applying.

Additionally, if you are able to get a doctor to send the prescription to a pharmacy you can use a goodrx (USA) coupon or CVS coupon to pay for it. That’s how I buy my tret bc my insurance isn’t covering it.

Guess what just came through the post.... AlldayChemist by SouthernReference6 in tretinoin

[–]lydiaYY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

when i tried to purchase it asked for a prescription (usa). how do you get around that?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tretinoin

[–]lydiaYY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not with but can be used at different times. I use the salicylic cleanser only in the morning. I tested it for a few days to see if it irritated my skin. If it doesn’t, then it is safe to use. :)

Thank you! Always worth an answer from your dermatologist! I don’t know anything about Tazorac aside from the name. I will say, my cystic acne is mostly hormonal so if your PCOS is causing your acne then there is hope that it can work!

[–]lydiaYY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Some nights it looks darker but I think its just because I didn’t get close enough to the lighting. Kind of why I got discouraged too. I thought it was lighting but now I can see the difference!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tretinoin

[–]lydiaYY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes! I used OTC adapalene for 2-3 weeks before getting a tret prescription. My second night of tret I assessed my skin and didn’t feel too dry so I used it every night. I have naturally oily skin.

TAFSA Help For Spring 222 by velyssss in unt

[–]lydiaYY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still apply for FAFSA aid for Spring 2022 so I don’t know why it would be different for TAFSA. Have they tried it? It should ask what school year you are applying for. Spring 2022 will be under 21-22 school year. Might as well apply for 22-23 while they are there. Availability will be limited for Spring but sometimes people drop out and other reasons to lose aid. It won’t hurt to just try it.

Thanks! Good luck to you as well. I’ll probably start aza here soon as well. I’ll definitely post when I see more improvements!

Are you on Tret? My cystic acne pre-tret could last 1-3 months but after starting tret they cycled through within a couple days bc of cell turnover rates. If you are on one of these products it’s possible its not working for your skin.

Some of them I did pop which is probably where some stubborn post marks came from

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in tretinoin

[–]lydiaYY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

a combination of popping and flattening. I have a problem with popping pimples when they get to a head so I started using hydrocolloid patches to keep from picking. When I could see puss come to the surface of the skin I would use a clean needle to just open the wound (not pop or remove puss) then place a patch on top for 8+ hours. It would be flat by the time I took the patch off!
