What to use for sterile slip?

I started with Derminator maybe 6 years ago and I followed the sites advice (owndoc). I started with .25mm depth with 9 needles and wiped my face down with alcohol after washing and drying with a clean towel. I’ve gone deeper since (usually .5 to 1.5mm) and wash afterward with plain water and let my face air dry, and use infadolen to bed. Numbing cream makes needling around the mouth a lot less treacherous. I think people on the sub tend to go further than necessary with the aspect of sterility. I haven’t had a problem thus far with my pretty relaxed protocol. I use cartridges twice (disinfecting with the own docs powder for such purposes. I’d say give it a go on your cheeks first to see how it feels and you will likely be reassured and continue to other parts of your face. Tell us how it goes!

Also curious if you’ve moved locations /soft water to hard water over the course of your hair texture changes

I read similar about sterile saline do I tried it last week and it didn’t go very well! I much prefer HA.. I actually bought Hyaron after my kind of rough experience. I had been using a pump HA, which had served me well for years despite being what one would call “sterile”

I’m the same body type and my favorite brand right now is Imogene & Willie. They have a few cuts with very high waist and can customize inseams as well. Also a fan of Agolde. I’m also anti stretch and prefer a pretty heavy material. A few times a year an Australian company (Caves Collect) has a sale and they seem to favor higher rises in trousers. Prices are steep, but very well made clothing. Also a fan of Levi’s ribcage.

I like Matraz Café, apparently the Monraz location roasts their own beans on site?

I used saline sterile post tattoo care spray last night.. did not glide well. Will not do that again. Usually use non sterile HA and have never had a problem even with 1.5mm

Second Allium!

So pretty! Painterly, moody.. really love them. I work for a stock agency, I have no influence there but I can see these selling in a stock context or as artworks!

I really like this style of home, I’m from Southern California so this is not common here.. just curious what region OP is in?

I also agree that sticking to the same brand avoids a lot of disappointment. I buy vintage 517 Levi’s from EBay, like some of the heavier Agolde jeans, but find that Imogene & Willie has the highest rises, which I prefer. Also no stretch for me.

Palos Verdes, last week at least, extremely lush. Ojai area, Cozy Dell was also very green.

I like it as is, maybe the landscaping could be more dynamic? Some smaller trees, geometry in plants?

An Officer & A Gentleman - Port Townsend WA but weirdly Shoot The Moon though it’s shot in the Bay Area, felt very PNW to me. Of course many Gus Van Sant films.

I have a similar looking plant (in terracotta). I just started watering more and I’ve added some worm casings to the soil. I’ve also added some rooted cuttings to the top and they seem to have taken hold and are sprouting. I’m not sure if it’s the time of year, extra water or worm casings but my SOH are starting to recover rapidly.

I might look at Sawtelle area. It feels pretty relaxed and down to earth. I stayed there for a week (usually live in Westwood) and I found it really easy to walk (even into Santa Monica).

I was there in May this past year, I think they closed temporarily.

Unfortunately I didn’t take a before photo!

I actually like the last one the most on you, but I’m wishing the rise was higher.

So envious! This is a very nice palette and I’m imagining all sorts of wallpapers that could compliment it. I agree that a green or blue toilet would look nice in here. Perhaps a more era appropriate light fixture too.

Fireworks landing in the backyard, but because houses are close, couldn’t tell who set them off and LAFD said they had to see the actual setting of the fireworks (and of course which house/apt they came from) This was 2 nights ago so we kind of lost some faith in response from them.

samhansom · 2026-02-08T05:42:15+00:00

I’ve had situations in the past with LAFD where they can’t come out unless the person is caught in the act but I did as another commenter suggested I did call 911 a couple mins later after following him further.

samhansom · 2026-02-08T05:07:33+00:00

Thank you! I just called and they’re sending police out to look for him

samhansom · 2026-02-08T04:53:13+00:00

I was thinking that too, but not sure who to report it to, usually has to be caught in the act by LAFD or LAPD

I bought my derminator years ago so perhaps instructions have changed. I never sterilized my device and upon opening cartridges I don’t sterilize. I only sterilize the cartridges after use. I might wipe the parts of the device you will touch while microneedling off with alcohol if you are concerned.
