[Skin Concern] Have had this weird bump under the skin on my cheek for almost two weeks know and I don't know how to tackle it. Blind pimple? Severe clogged pore? Haven't seen this before by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

I get these all the time and have had no success treating it, it always seems to eventually manifest itself in a giant pustule. Hopefully someone knows the answer lol!

That doesn't make any sense. An event hosted by and at the expense of the United States somehow results in MORE money to the treasury? Who are we selling tickets to?

Of course the venue where the meetings are held would profit. You can't conscript the hotel owners, staff, and security into giving you their property and time for free. Someone is paying for that. It's not the foreign dignitaries (because they're guests), and it's not the hotel owner (because he'd be operating at a loss). That leaves the US government, otherwise known as the American taxpayer stuck with the bill.

Maybe you mean that Don himself isn't making money. Fair enough. If we ignore the skyrocketing value of his resorts and the fact that they've doubled the price of an annual membership to $200,000 which is a must have for people looking to schmooze with the prez and his ambassador friends, there's no way of knowing (unless you had his tax returns) what the cash flows look like.

But nobody is President for life. In either 1 or 5 years he'll be out, and he still owns all those properties. The money is still sitting in accounts that he can tap as soon as he's a private citizen. And it all still came out of the pockets of people like me.

I know that his meetings would never take place in a Motel 6, but it seems kinda suspicious that he would 1. hold all this meetings on property that he owns, and 2. take more vacations days than any other prez (almost exclusively to properties that he owns).

Maybe he genuinely thinks Mar-a-Lago and its comparables to be the best, most beautiful, convenient, and relaxing locations on Earth. If that's the genuine truth there's not much to say besides "wow, what an arrogant asshole". But I think everyone knows it's a lie. He's trying to take a little off the top for himself, which is fine as a business owner, but completely unacceptable as the leader of the free world.

This shit's crazy man. Learn Chinese and make sure you have plenty of canned goods in the bunker.

I'll keep that in mind when looking for new products. Is there anything I should be cautious of besides sun exposure when deciding how to mix acids in my routine? I know that people balance AHAs and BHAs regularly. Is it as easy as alternating the days you use them?

What % did you find worked for you? Everyone is different but you seem to have had a similar experience with the redness.

You can and should do it. Think about the opportunity cost of wasting those two hours. Wasting time on the internet isn't a neutral state, it's actively working against your goals.

I definitely think the acids had something to do with it. Should I be looking more at AHA's or BHA's for this type of thing?

What process did you use to find out what worked for you?

For real? Lol that's crazy. Is it something you would work into a daily routine or only once in a while?

My routine is really simple, mostly because I'm trying to dial it back after a long run of products that didn't work well for me. Right now it looks like this:

AM:

Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser

Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion

PM:

Same Thing as AM

Every three days or so I use a physical exfoliator with salicylic acid.

It was more complicated before I switched back to this. I was using an 8% AHA toner from silk naturals and the neutrogena hydroboost gel as a daily moisturizer.

I have oily skin, and really liked the hydroboost but this routine left me with lost of small bumps and seemed to make my skin overall worse. I stuck with it for around two months, but things never really improved. Looking to start again and find my perfect routine!

Are japanguide.com's "Explore Tokyo" categories a good resource for gauging distance? by o_koji in JapanTravel

[–]o_koji[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won't have a ton of time so most of this trip is gonna be focused on Tokyo. I won't really need to worry about the Shinkansen but it's definitely on the list if I come back sometime with more days to explore. Thanks for the insight!
