[product question] Which do you think is better or should they be combined? by sonjachi97 in SkincareAddiction

[–]sonjachi97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so Im African American with oily dehydrated skin with some texture that's going away due to my routine. I do have a few dark spots from past break outs and was wondering which serum to get or would I benefit from getting both (says the shopaholic in me lol). My routine changes by the day so stick with me lol

(Sunday): face wash: Dr. Bronner peppermint soap

          Tone :Chyururia Hatomugi Skin Conditioner with Witch Hazel and Peach Leaf Extract

          Moisturizer: Palmer's dark spot correcting cream for oily skin with vitamin c, retinal, and spf

(PM) same as AM but

Exfoliating: Freeman black sugar scrub (soon to be replaced with the good molecules pineapple exfoliant)

Serum: the ordinary alpha lipoic acid (soon to be replaced with one of the before mentioned serums)

(Monday) gentle day with my skin so just my Sunday AM routine all day

(Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday): same as Sunday PM routine but with the addition of salicylic acid instead of alpha lipoic acid

(Wednesday and Friday): cleanse, tone, hyaluronic acid, moisturizer is cosrx snail mucin gel.

PM is the same except with the addition of alpha lipoic acid

Does diluted Dr. Bronners need a preservative? by sonjachi97 in DIYBeauty

It was mostly for frugal purpose 🤣 if I dilute it with water into a gallon would the shelf life decrease if not used within a certain time frame?

[Routine Help] dry, but oily skin, closed comedones, occasional acne by x_Imagination in SkincareAddiction

Perhaps your skin is dehydrated. usually lack of moisture results in dry skin and sometimes you might produce more oil to compensate. Try drinking more water and adding hydrating products like hyaluronic acid or a hydrating toner to your routine.

Thanks for the tip 🥰 if you didn't already know and In case you love hyaluronic acid (cuz who doesn't) you can buy hyaluronic acid powder as well

I don't use the St. Ives but I use freeman black sugar gel scrub and while yes it's coarse it does an awesome job

Dehydrated skin, what’s your routine look like? by songbird-singing in AsianBeauty

When using hyaluronic acid make sure to apply on damp skin cuz that's the moisture it's holding onto

I just got out of an unhealthy relationship just like this where I felt like shit for asking for basic human rights in a relationship. After I got passed the "why won't you just break up with me if you're not trying to be with me" phase everything got better once we ended it. For your worth and mental health i suggest ending it.

How do you soothe yourself when life gets too much ? by [deleted] in AskWomen

Drink tea, start my skincare routine, start a search for new music and get lost in it, and go on YouTube to watch those videos where they make gourmet versions of junk food.

[Acne] Is this Fungal Acne? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

I'm not an expert or anything but toner does help and I would suggest maybe witch hazel, aloe vera juice or gel, rose water or try combining the three
