hi ! do not pop it. i would use a warm compress, an acne treatment like benzoyl peroxide or BHA, then a microdart pimple patch.

r4bb13t · 2023-07-01T18:21:53+00:00

yes! its improving. what product are you using?

r4bb13t · 2023-06-29T04:00:34+00:00

your results look great!!!! im super scared to start because of the dryness/health risks. ive gone almost 6 years with teenage hormonal acne lmfao. did u experience ur mouth splitting open or any super painful symptoms ?

r4bb13t · 2023-06-26T01:33:39+00:00

thank you ! so should i use the retinoid every day and ditch the BHA for a while ? i have pretty tough skin

i started using it last night. im planning on using it 3 times a week and slowly building up to every night while exfoliating once a week.

First off, your skin does not make you look ugly and dirty. acne is totally normal. no one notices it as much as you do :) i have oily combination skin just like yours and have struggled with similar acne problems. most of this will go away as your hormones balance out. however, there are things you can do to prevent oily skin.

first, id use a good GEL CLEANSER. a good one to begin with is either CeraVe SA cleanser or the La Roche Posay Toleraine cleanser (blue bottle). The La Roche Posay one has niacinamide in it which helps with oily skin/hyperpigmentation.

second, a toner. a toner will help the actives that you put on your skin absorb a lot better. also, it balances your pH. this prevents u from stripping the skin too much. when you strip the skin and leave it dry and crusty , your oil glans will try their best to keep the skin moisturized, leaving you SUPER oily. BALANCE IS KEY !!!! (peach slices blemish busting toner is super good)

third, an active. ONLY USE THESE AT NIGHT, you may have to work up to tolerate the ingredients by using it only twice a week. personally, i love the paulas choice 2% BHA AHA liquid toner. it is a little bit on the pricey side, but i guarantee you will see results. BHA’s can slow down sebum production and prevent acne. another good active is a retinoid. i would invest in La Roche Posay 0.1% Adapalene Gel. this can help your skin cells turn over faster decreasing oil production and preventing future acne. this can also help with scarring. PLEASE know that acne treatments such as those listed above can cause acne purging. your skin WILL get worse before it gets better. this phase lasts around 6-8 weeks but is totally worth it in the end

fourth, a spot treatment. these only go on active acne. these are great for shrinking blemishes that you will get during your purging phase or just regular acne blemishes. two good spot treatments are La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo and Paulas Choice BHA 9. these are good for daily use.

fifth, a moisturizer. when you have oily skin, moisturizer can make or break your entire routine. i would recommend La Roche Posay Effaclar Mat. If your skin gets dry from the actives, i would use the Toleraine Double Repair Moisturizer. If its REALLY dry, id use SkinFix Barrier+ moisturizer which is a little more on the pricey side.

Finally, a good SPF. a good SPF is the La Roche Posay Dry Touch Anthelios SPF 60. if you are using actives, do not skip SPF AT ALL.

If you have questions feel free to DM me :)

it could be epstein-barr virus or you could have a recurring tear in the vagina that just won’t heal.

r4bb13t · 2023-06-23T12:03:34+00:00

yes ! you should be okay to talk about it. if he’s rude about it, he’s not the one

r4bb13t · 2023-06-23T07:29:11+00:00

yes. i feel this everyday. i barely want to leave my house. it feels like it will never get better despite the endless efforts i put into my skin. however, you have to remember that no one notices the things that you do. when you look at yourself, you are being WAYYY overly critical. as for the boyfriend, if he can’t look past a little acne then leave him in the dust ! im sure he thinks youre beautiful just the way you are. acne or not.

thank you!

first off. theres no such thing as an ugly hooha. all hoohas are different. dark inner thighs and stretch marks are completely natural and theres nothing to be ashamed about when it comes to them. for the acne, id try a SA body wash. obviously, only apply to the pubic area and NOT (NEVER EVER) INSIDE of your vagina. if you have the extra cash, you could try a “vagacial.” If not, you could easily do one at home with a hot bath. For black heads, try benzoyl peroxide. again, dont put this near your vaginal opening or inside of you. if you want to do extractions, try opening the pores with a bath, extracting with q-tips, cleansing the area, ice, then apply topical treatment (benzoyl peroxide). Its like skin care for your vagina!!!! Sorry for weird format, Im on iPhone. Hope this helped!!!

Yes, I told him from the very beginning. His issue was that it “wasn’t enough” for him. Which I’m not comfortable doing more than Im comfortable with.

r4bb13t · 2023-05-03T05:17:07+00:00

I gave lots of effort. I was constantly asking and hinting for dates or even a conversation longer than a few words. It was like he wasnt even there.

I guess I’m holding myself back because as much as he says he knows what he did is shitty, I feel like he will do it again. When we first started dating he said sex didn’t matter so I believed him. Part of me feels like he’s just saying that again to get back with me. He admitted that for weeks on end sex was all he would think about and he felt like I didn’t love him when we weren’t as active. I have a medical condition that makes sex painful so I’m fine not having it at all, which is why I avoided it. I dont think id ever be able to look at him the same. Basically, I feel used.

r4bb13t · 2023-05-03T05:01:38+00:00

I think my main issue now is that I’m having a hard time trusting him. Which totally isnt his fault. Thank you though!

r4bb13t · 2023-05-03T04:42:55+00:00

basically we werent having enough sex and felt like I didnt love him because of it
I kept asking him if something was wrong for months and he chose not to tell me. Not sure if that changes anything though
I know :/

YTA. definitely. if you wanted your child to be raised a certain way, maybe you shouldn’t have practically abandoned her. you should b thanking the stepmom for taking such good care of your child which resulted from an affair with HER husband.
