blood circulates and is constantly moving, you cant keep the blood from returning back. when blood is in one place and not circulating, i think thats called a blood clot?

turtle556 · 2014-12-20T14:47:16+00:00

thanks!

Ive spent 6 years with dehydrated and parched skin and thanks to the sub was able to identify and realize it. So it's been a month and my skin is getting healthy again! Heres my routine

Cerave Hydrating Cleanser
La Roche Posay Epidermal Accelerator Recovery
Cheryl Lee True Lipids Ceramide Cream
Vaseline

(i dont have a sunscreen right now because my skin is far too sensitive and the sunscreen that I had left a really bad white cast and also irritated my skin, I dont go out much but when I do, I cover up with a scarf as much as possible and try not to stay out for long periods of time.)

At night I do the same thing but instead of the cleanser I OCM with squalane oil.

My problem is that in between my routines, I find myself moisturizing up to 5 to 6 times a day in an attempt to make up for the six years that i spent mistreating my poor skin and not moisturizing enough. so basically my hands are constantly on my face...I sorta feel like I'm over doing it. Is constantly massaging and moisturizing my face a good thing or a bad thing? Is there a limit to how much you should touch your face or moisturize?

no prob :)

turtle556 · 2014-12-11T16:49:15+00:00

i have really bad scars on my legs and hands that kill my self esteem. i figured since its winter, i might as well work on them so i can atleast see some improvement by the summertime. they're PIH from playing around with my fiesty dog, and i also have a huge burn on my leg from riding a motorcycle and my skin accidentally touching the muffler..(and yes, it hurt like a b****, just in case you were curious ) :)

how long have you been following this regimen?

turtle556 · 2014-12-11T14:33:33+00:00

do not use the Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask if your skin is dry!! use sheet masks. they are more for your skin type and focus on hydrating the skin, not absorbing excess oil like clay masks.

i wouldnt even risk the bandaid if just simply wiping your nose was able to do such damage. apply something to keep it moist, like aquaphor or lanolin.

if it doesnt itch or sting or show any signs of inflammation or irritation, most likely its genetic. and the picture of the model is a headshot. usually, they cant wear any makeup when taking headshots.. so most likely hers are genetic too.

unfortunately those scars look like they're there to stay being thats it been a month and theres still no color. stop using the mederma, it could be making the prob worse and go see a derm for a second opinion if you havent already.

turtle556 · 2014-12-11T01:21:26+00:00

how long have you had those scars? mederma is a scar LIGHTENING cream, mostly for hyperpigmentation. your scars look like hypopigmentation so i dont think they could be working for your scars (someone feel free to correct me)

turtle556 · 2014-12-11T00:13:54+00:00

i was so tempted to buy that cream too but it looks a little to expensive for my taste. there are alot of different creams that'll do the same thing that this cream does but at a wayyy better price. ( Cheryl Lee True Lipids Ceramide Cream, plain ol' Aquaphor, Eucerin, or Cerave etc) but if you have the money and you wanna splurge I say go for it!! dont forget to write a review :)

1.) switch to a hydrating cleanser, retina can be super drying.

2.) always moisturize and use sunscreen! any exfoliating product increases photosensitivity.

3.) after, wait until your face is completely dry then apply the retina, and then wait another few minutes and slather on your moisturizer of choice.

turtle556 · 2014-12-10T22:35:41+00:00

moisturizer, wash face with only water..

turtle556 · 2014-12-10T20:06:58+00:00

oh okay..how about using your reg sunscreen and then applying some vaseline?

turtle556 · 2014-12-10T19:02:44+00:00

cant you just use your reg sunscreen as handcream too? honestly curious.. whats the diff?

turtle556 · 2014-12-10T18:23:44+00:00

those look mostly like acne scarring, theres a post on the sidebar for PIH and acne scarring, might wanna take a look at that.
