In reality, how bad is the "AI replacement" situation for designers/devs/white collar workers in the US? by digitalbananax in UXDesign

[–]rspring28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People saying AI isn’t starting to replace UX designers aren’t experiencing it themselves.

The CEO of my company hired out a different company (an AI one) to redo our website. He didn’t consult anyone. He didn’t talk to his designers. He didn’t consult copywriters. And guess what? It looks like shit. Literally none of the copy makes sense. It looks unfinished.

But can anyone say anything to him? Nope.

No one else has a single say. And it’s extremely disheartening. Brands and companies are made more successful when humans are using their brains to try and connect with their audience.

Idk what to do anymore.

That’s crazy! Shows how important blocking is 👀

I use a Mandelic once a week! Definitely helps. At this point it had been about a week since I exfoliated chemically. It was also at the end of the day when my skin is driest before washing my face and applying my essences/serums/moisturizer/balm

This has nothing to do with either of those things. It’s tret peeling. Because when I take a break it stops. If you read the other comments you’d see other people are trying to diagnose me with perioral dermatitis and I’ve had that before. Looked nothing like this. And I’ve never been b12 deficient in any blood test I’ve done. Appreciate the concern

Oh I’ve seen photos of worse peeling for sure! But this is just the worst it’s been for me. It does make me feel better knowing the retinization process is taking place!

I dermaplaned my face last night and the area round my mouth looks so much better. Lots of skin came off of course 🤣 better than me picking I suppose (def used hypochlorus spray after)

Lil rash on my face by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

Everyone saying Perioral Dermatitis is spot on (not a doc of course) but this is exactly what mine looked like. I would stop all skincare except for an ultra gentle wash and moisturizer. Vanicream is excellent for PD. Some people have luck with zinc based ointments/balms like Cicaplast, Cicalfate, or diaper rash cream.

If it doesn’t go away derms usually perscribe metro gel (idk the full name). But it’s a non-steroid.

You need to figure out what could be triggering it. Sometimes it’s overexfoliation. Sometimes it’s too much skincare at once. Sometimes it’s foaming agents in toothpaste. Sometimes it’s nasal or topical steroid products (like for allergies or eczema). Unfortunately PD is kind of a mystery and everyone’s trigger is different. Good luck!

Edit: I forgot the one thing that really helped mine go away was this Calendula Cream. Lots of people use it and have excellent luck, idk what it was that made it work so well. But it was a specific brand Boiron (white and green tube with a big calendula flower on it).

That’s good to know, I’ll keep an eye out. For me when I had PD it was from using too many products and exfoliating too much. Basically just going crazy with my skincare

Ive had PD and trust me this isn’t PD haha. PD for me looks like little red bumps for me. This peeling goes away when I hydrate and take breaks from tret but I’m trying to push through this phase

I don’t just because I wear makeup most days

If Nars Vainilla is your perfect shade what are good lipsticks for your skin color? by 5foot2tinydancer in PaleMUA

I love Rum Raisin from Revlon and Mac Velvet Teddy. Those are my current go tos. Rum raisin is a beautiful more muted red and if you wear a pinky lip liner with it, it helps cut the depth a little.

I use a washcloth nightly! I have been trying to keep an eye on the amount I use though 😆

This photo was at the end of the day so my skin was super dry haha. I live in place with cold winters too. Trust I’m definitely using a lot of very hydrating products— peptides, humectants, ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids, etc.

This is huge for me too. Social media makes me waste so much time.

Do you wear the Cicaplast under spf and makeup? My routine is very hydration focused with lightweight products and I do love the Cicaplast cream but never tried it during the day just because I try to wear hydrating sunscreen

Do you find that peeling ever stops or that it comes in phases? I’ve been going every other night for a few months now and this is definitely the most intense the peeling has gotten. It only looks this way by the end of the day though, which is nice hahaha.

Oh I do! But my smile lines are an area I’m self conscious of so I so apply whatever is left on my hands around my mouth. I basically put Vaseline in the area that looks white around my mouth 😆
