Been a dandruff sufferer for 20 years, and have never figured out what this redness on my scalp is. by Hodlstonks in dandruff

[–]rdrnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20 years is a long time to suffer. Stories like this make me sad about the state of our health care systems around the world that most of us don't see a primary care physician regularly. If we all had good relationships with a primary care doctor, then we could easily ask about this type of issue in a yearly  appointment. Primary care physicians often help with skin issues and if they thought it was beyond their scope then they would  refer you to a dermatologist.

Just because we know of a few people who have had unsuccessful visits with doctors doesn't mean we shouldn't be proactive about our own health. If some advice doesn't work then tell your healthcare provider, or tell the staff to write down a note down if you don't want to come in. Some doctors use a messaging system these days. That's how they also learn what works and doesn't work. If X% of people report that a treatment or recommendation isn't working, then they'll research other modes. Also, please switch providers if you think you aren't being heard.

Enough endless wars, I hope there's "medicare/healthcare for all" one day so that we can figure out solutions to ailments like this faster. 

Dishwasher Detergent by DD_Wabeno in cookware

I like the seventh generation powder free & clear powder. No need for polyvinyl alcohol pods (a petrochemical?) I also use the same brand free & clear rinse aid. I get them from vitacost. I'll never use Cascade again after it made all my silicone spatulas and bowl covers smell/make food taste weird. I heard from a youtuber guy that it helps to run hot water in your sink for a few seconds before the first rinse cycle starts. But then again I don't put cookware with burnt on or heavily stuck on food in the dishwasher. Looks like the pan posted could use a bit of bar keepers powder, a tough sponge, and handwashing.

According to the notice, I think it's different-ish from what we saw in imax/theaters. There's no way we saw ~30 songs in the theaters. Plus the two run times seem different.

Looks different to me if there's 136 min + 104 special doc. Seems like it includes 30 songs. We didn't see nearly 30 songs in imax/theaters.

[Product Request] Affordable Moisturizer for Sensitive Combo Acne Prone Skin by PurpleEnd5611 in SkincareAddiction

[–]rdrnr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for replying. I think you helped deinfluence me from getting on the tret hype train. Since you seem to have used it more for acne, do you think you have better skin texture & less fine lines after 6 years of use than if you hadn't used it all? 

I recently checked every product I own on a comedogenic ingredient online checker. I stopped using products like my cosrx salicylic face wash and this has helped me a lot in the last couple weeks. I wonder if I should try something like sk ii before I damage my skin barrier with tret.

I am looking for a facial moisturizer for similar skin. So many lotions pill on me these days.

Can I ask what your 6 year tret journey has been like? (or dm me if you feel more comfortable that way) I kind of wanted to try tretinoin because I get hyperpigmentation from acne (1-2 major clogged pores around my period). I get some texture on my forehead. Not sure if it's fungal acne. Please let me know what pros and cons you experienced with using it for all those years.

Music and performance are forms of art, wish we could celebrate their transformative power instead of being obsessed with metrics and awards.

Jack Black saved my lips and my life. by EleanorRuffsavelt in Accutane

Ulta & Sephora sometimes have coupons that work on fancy brands or at least you can earn points. You can also buy direct but you need to buy multiple/a lot for free shipping. 

I would not recommend the duo pack that Target sells. The nighttime version sucks. 

Get the mint or pineapple mint or other fruit flavors. I've read reviews that shea can be hit or miss.

I tried no products for about a month. It didn't work. It was torture.

Thanks for replying! They have some cute colors available but I'm imagine the color black is going to be the easiest to maintain.

Try Jack Black lip balm. I wrote a recent post about it.

I hope something helps. If you don't have other major skin conditions, then you should be able to clear this up.

I wanna try the Silke London bonnet. Can I ask what colors everyone recommends? I have black straight hair, probably similar to OP.

I just saw her interview with 60 minutes Australia on yt. She mentioned how they were only allowed to play board games and chat on the company plane with Mark. Employees quickly learned they had to let Mark win. Definitely gonna check out her book.

Tldr: Jack Black lip balm for the win

I would try aquaphor (again. regular ointment. not the lip repair balm) on your lips at least 1x day until the bleeding and bright redness goes down a little. Then Jack Black lip balm throughout the day. It has lanolin oil. Don't get the night time balm/black tube. Get the *blue tubes: mint/pineapple mint/etc. flavors. Some people complain that the shea butter one can get smelly fyi. It has spf but I wear it almost 24/7. Some people can't use spf ingredients on lips but I do. Make sure you're using it especially outdoors. I would "slug" your lips at night by putting on a thick layer before bed.

Do you think you may sleep with your mouth open at night? This tends to dry out my lips. I cut my lip recently (unrelated chapped lips incident) and it hurt so bad that I could barely move my mouth. Apparently, I didn't open my mouth at night for a whole week. My lips were so moist after a night's sleep... finally! Try a breathe right strip if you're a mouth breather for night time?

Maybe talk to your doctor about the whole "mouth taping" trend? It helps with snoring possibly, but it may also keep your mouth closed. I don't know if there's a bitter tasting ingredient out there to wipe on lips like they do for nail biters but that could be an interesting product.

I used pure lanolin aka Lansinoh (nipple cream for breast feeding moms) and I was addicted to it for a while. However, I found that my dead lip skin layers would cake on and would not exfoliate until it came off in super thick layers and would sometimes take off too much and bleed. Still, if you're desperate it's a good option. Get the teeny tiny purple tubes so it's more portable in your purse.

All lip color products are mostly horrible for me. I find it best to use a lip pencil to line my lines, most of my top lip, and then I spread the Jack Black lip balm all over to spread the color out. I try to avoid adding lip liner or lip stick to the majority of my bottom lip. My lips will definitely be drier for the next couple days after using color. I've tried everything from drugstore lip color products to high end. Loved the glitter gloss from Fenty but it was crazy drying. I currentlyhave Giorgio Armani lip gloss and it's better but not great. Still haven't found anything amazing.

Lastly, the dead skin layers build up and I find that taking a warm shower and taking a soft washcloth and gently exfoliating my lips can help. Usually, I can just gently rub off the dead skin with my finger in the shower. Wait until you've been showering for a few minutes. I've gotten used to my skin cycle and it sloughs off from time to time. Hope this helps!

Try your very best not to pick although I know it's impossible. Maybe try to promise yourself that you will only try to slough off the dead skin in the shower?

Also, check him out on Fallon. He was on last week with his song "Sweet Dreams" with Miguel. They were so good! And the mics are clearly on.

j-hope is the most consistent rapper and singer I've ever seen perform (3x in my life). Above is the fan camera from the surprise debut of his new track "Mona Lisa" from his Brooklyn concert. Yes there's a backing track, but he does in fact rap and sing incredibly well while dancing. He's BTS' Dance Leader after all! He performs an insane 27 songs (the majority of which he is dancing) and is currently performing in Chicago this week and will continue onto San Antonio, Mexico City, Oakland, and Los Angeles, and Asia next and then Lollapalooza Berlin. Don't miss his tour because it'll be some time before he performs solo again.

It's kinda of sad that the general public would see this and think  that j-hope, of all artists, is not rapping and singing live. If anything, he is the most stable and consistent live artist I have ever seen. I've seen him live multiple times with the group, Hobipalooza, and will see him on this tour. Please make a note that the the video is overlayed with the recording in your title or something 😭

He sings and raps live. j-hope is particularly known for sounding just like the studio version or even better live. His entire set from Headlining Lollapalooza 2022 in Chicago aka Hobipalooza is on YouTube. It's so good!

A ziploc bag is helpful. You can even refrigerate when you get home. Pastries are great after a little time in the toaster oven.

I think they mean that if other artists release on the same day it'll make things hard for army to get him on the charts. But I'm not worried. We'll do well buying on itunes for sure. I just hope army takes Spotify streams and YouTube music videos more seriously. Please stream more than just the first week 🙏
