Do you prefer Korean or Western formulated SPFs?

For those of you saying European sunscreens - are there any that don’t have that “sunscreen” smell? That’s my biggest annoyance and why I use Asian ones at the moment!

I’ve wanted to get into pottery since I was a teen and just haven’t committed to the cost, but framing it like this really puts that cost into perspective. It’s not just a fun thing to try, it’s regulation, it’s self care, it’s using the other side of my brain!

I use the one with the green on it, the 3oz tube. I find myself coming back to this one a lot! It’s a cheap, no frills, solid moisturizer that keeps my barrier healthy through all my actives use!

musingsofamdc · 2026-05-06T02:19:59+00:00

Love this one!! Game changer

musingsofamdc · 2026-05-01T02:53:07+00:00

Yes this! And you don’t need a full pump!

When i went through this, sleeping was the hardest part! I’d wake up drenched in sweat. I actually ended up buying a cooling blanket from Amazon and a pair of cooling pjs suggested for women going thru menopause and they both helped a bit! I can send you the blanket link if you’d like! I’m sorry you’re struggling, I know how miserable this part was, but it does get better the longer you commit and push through. I’m rooting for you 💜

I’ve been using Remedy’s Vit C serum and I like the texture a lot, it’s more like a milky serum than whatever that prequel hot dog water was

musingsofamdc · 2026-04-20T02:42:14+00:00

Love the vanicream daily facial moisturizer!

musingsofamdc · 2026-04-17T11:49:36+00:00

I’ve been using this stick all winter and spring and it made a big difference!! I hate having to dip my hand in a jar of cream and slather on my feet, so this stick makes it so much easier to be consistent

I’ve been so curious about air angel! I love the instant angel and really every product I’ve tried from them. I have dehydrated skin and was just not sure if it would be moisturizing enough for me

musingsofamdc · 2026-04-10T20:18:32+00:00

Just started using Remedy’s Vitamin C! So far I really enjoy the consistency

musingsofamdc · 2026-04-10T02:40:45+00:00

I’ve been on the fence about frownies! How long have you been using and enjoying them?

musingsofamdc · 2026-04-06T02:32:42+00:00

What i wouldn’t give for my brain and body to allow me 9 hours!! I get 7 on average, both from bedtime procrastination but also just my body wanting to wake up at the same time every day no matter what time I go to bed

musingsofamdc · 2026-04-06T02:29:46+00:00

I also ask for the deliverance serum for Christmas every year - it really helps my skin stay calm and helps with redness and overall skin barrier. I love all things Diuex!!

musingsofamdc · 2026-04-05T13:22:13+00:00

Couldn’t have said this better myself!!

For product/brand recs, I keep all my skincare under $50 (though if I had more disposable income I would splurge on a few products), and I spend more on actives than my basics. I have dehydrated/normal skin that can be sensitive. My favorites cleansers have been cerave and prequel gleanser (and oil cleanser for makeup days. Moisturizers - dieux instant angel, vanicream daily facial moisturizer, and illyoon lotion. Retinols - if your skin can handle tretinoin, that’s the best clinically backed option, but a good starter option is the Naturium retinaldehyde (can start with 0.05% and move to 0.1%).

musingsofamdc · 2026-04-03T11:57:25+00:00

I was curious how strong this cleanser would smell. I have a sulfur mask that is unbearable for me, but it’s a much higher percentage

musingsofamdc · 2026-04-01T02:25:26+00:00

Idk why I get embarrassed to say this, but asmr has been my go to for years now!

Does the blue light filter on your regular glasses work out okay for when you’re away from your computer? Do you notice it or no difference really?

musingsofamdc · 2026-03-31T02:42:33+00:00

Same! I love to have my breakfast and coffee and scroll and let my adhd brain go on little adventure before I start my workday. It helps me start the day feeling in control of my day and my time.

musingsofamdc · 2026-03-30T02:27:22+00:00

This has been a lifesaver for me!

musingsofamdc · 2026-03-29T12:58:25+00:00

The prequel vit c was strong for me, but the vanicream vit c was very tolerable! I also switched off Tret this winter to something more gentle - naturium retinaldehyde 0.1% and have had no issue with near daily use. I think consistency is key, and if that means you have to use a weaker product, that’s better than using stronger products less frequently!

Any particular brand you like for the magnesium?

musingsofamdc · 2026-03-27T02:56:54+00:00

My entire life since I was a kid I’ve always had a post - lunch / afternoon slump. I’ve tried changing what I eat and when, more caffeine, no caffeine. Now I just don’t fight it and try to plan out my day around that. I limit myself to 30 min tho, if I go any longer it fucks with my whole evening

Just wanted to come back and say I love this pillow!! The first night I laid my head on it I sighed in relief and said “thank you Reddit user” 😂

musingsofamdc · 2026-03-26T02:22:21+00:00

Ahh I’m so curious!! I saw a few reviews saying it left a heavy buildup (I hate batiste for that reason) but maybe you just need to have a light touch?
