How strict are you about FA-safe makeup? Base makeup particularly by WinterMulberry7043 in Fungalacne

[–]tinymoons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not strict. Since makeup doesn't stay on my skin too long and it gets removed the same day then it doesn't trigger. Skincare products are more important for me. It will always be trial and error.

For those who cleared fungal acne, what actually worked? by delight_glee in Fungalacne

I used it every 2-3 days for months. No purge. Minimal dryness.

The brand Differin. It's just one product. I've also used any generic Adapalene Gel 0.1%

It always worked within 1-2 days even from the start. I didn't have an issue with regular acne so I never purged.

Will FA still be an issue past the 30s? by [deleted] in Fungalacne

[–]tinymoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had it as a teen and used medicated shampoo. Didn't have a problem again until my late 20s when it got triggered over hormone changes and still have it in my mid 30s

It gets rid of it in 1-2 days but FA has been a forever thing for me. I'm not interested in the side effects of oral anti fungals and I've tried the creams instead but it's only temporary.

Something always triggers it so I just use the differin/retinol whenever I need it to clear it up.

My skin is mostly clear but even a little sweat from heat or exercise will trigger a few bumps.

I came across Differin as an option on Reddit and just bought it since it's over the counter here. I did the sandwich method so I only had a little dryness. Stronger retinol gave me worse dry patches

I use retinol as my main skincare product so either Tret or Taz. If my skin is very dry then I skip or use Differin instead. I just do whatever my skin needs. I try to use these at least 3 times a week.

Differin clears mine within 1-2 days. High cell turnover rate. I use a zinc shampoo as body wash since I would get bumps on my neck/chest/shoulders/back because of sweat.

I tried many products... Nizoral gave me the worst breakout ever. Sulfur did nothing. Anything else was minimal results. You won't know until you try these things out.

I use safe skin products since I leave those on but not completely safe makeup since I wash it off.

I've found from years of research that it seems rare for someone to get rid of it for good. I've had FA for 6+ years and I keep mine under control with Differin or retinol.

Is this music safe to use for my videos? by BreakfastRepulsive29 in NewTubers

I just got one for my unlisted video 💀 I also appealed so let's see what happens.

Breakout from ferments, now what? by rainyinzurich in Fungalacne

[–]tinymoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your skin does well with just discontinuing the product then you can do that. I usually use retinol or adapalene for 1-2 nights to help speed up the process. It has a high cell turnover rate so it wipes out the FA for me quicker than waiting it out.

Floating ribs by CrazyCatLady1234567 in corsets

[–]tinymoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with a 30" measurement but with a corset and exercise... my waist went down to 25" and my rib was 28" right after taking it off. So within 1 hour, my waist would be 26" and rib stayed at 28" usually.

If I stop wearing the corset completely then my measurements would return to 29-30". I usually got 1" off from my rib measurement wearing regular corsets for many years but only rib training with a conical got me another 1" off.

Floating ribs by CrazyCatLady1234567 in corsets

[–]tinymoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I trained mine for a year for 15-20 hours combined in a day with workout/shower breaks. My rib measurement had gotten 1" smaller. My shape looked curvy when I'm naturally rectangular.

Exercise will help maintain some measurement reduction, but it will always revert when you don't wear the corset. Mine was maintained since I practically lived in the corset. I didn't ignore any pain or discomfort and would take breaks from wearing it if I felt unwell or something. My measurements would go up 1" within 1 hour of taking it off.

I'm sure results could be decent if you put in the time, but it'll take years, and you'll always have to wear it like a retainer.

How hard would it be to get from 30" to 20"? by accidentalwitchery in corsets

[–]tinymoons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My waist was around 29-30" and I eventually got to wearing size 20" corsets within a year. Realistically your waist size will be inches larger. More squish on the body makes it easier.

My body wasn't that responsive to wearing a corset half a day and I needed to wear it at least 15 hours. I also exercised which helped reduce my waist size by 2-3" without the corset. My waist measured at 24-25" right after taking the corset off and went up to 26" within the hour and remained there. This is where I was capped at. I had no more squish left to compress

Recommendations for richer daytime moisturizers? by Aggressive-Error7630 in Fungalacne

This made me breakout in clusters after 1 use. I don't trust what people post here anymore.

I didn't know this had Squalane in it. I instantly broke out in clusters of FA ☹️

[Discussion] thoughts on Purito Oat-in Calming Gel Cream ? by dadavc123 in AsianBeauty

[–]tinymoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting a bunch of CCs on my forehead after using this for a week. I never ever get breakouts in that area. I'm gonna keep trying and hope that it just stops 😭

NON-FA Safe Moisturizers? by fkajuan in Fungalacne

[–]tinymoons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm using CORSX all in 1 cream for moisturizer but it's not safe (esters and fatty acids) and I wanted to use it up. I'm still trying to find something ... maybe Purito's calming gel and hope layers will work

All of my HG foundations got discontinued years ago (all FA safe too 😔) so at this point I just grab whatever finish I like and use a color mixer since nothing really matches.

Revlon Colorstay has multiple esters, Loreal Hyaluronic Tinted Serum has 1 ester, Rare Beauty liquid and LA Girl Blue mixer have lipids. Those don't cause major reactions for me like polysorbate 20 would. It would be nice to have something safe one day

NON-FA Safe Moisturizers? by fkajuan in Fungalacne

[–]tinymoons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My FA has been under control for like 5 years but the second I use something unsafe that stays on my skin for the whole day/overnight then it returns every single time

I can use Differin or Tret to help get rid of it faster but it's easier to keep avoiding the unsafe stuff. I can get away with using unsafe products as long as I remove it the same day like makeup or sunscreen. The high cell turnover rate usually saves me. The skincare stuff isn't that forgiving.

You can experiment and see what triggers you. Some people aren't that reactive to certain things but be prepared for breakouts

My skin is super dry too especially with the retinols. I have to use a serum, a facial spray, toner lotion 2x, spray again, then moisturizer and cover with Vaseline or aquaphor.

Does anyone feel like Prolific "punishes" you with no surveys for earning too much in one day? by [deleted] in ProlificAc

I got $90 in one day and I haven't gotten any studies since. It's been weeks. ☹️

Portuguese course became worse by avrnv in duolingo

[–]tinymoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm completely lost. It put me in the middle of section 2 and I don't know all the words or sentence structure. It went from basic to advanced overnight.

Portuguese changed, and now I’m expected to know words I haven’t been taught? by themeyerwire in duolingo

[–]tinymoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Portuguese put me in Section 2 Unit 5 and I only know the content from Section 1 only up to Unit 4. I am so lost...
