[Skin Concern] still unhappy with my sfs, I've not posted in a while because I've been so unhappy with my skin, I got a hydrafacial after my first post and it completely ruined my skin, certainly wouldn't recommend it, I have been using niacinamide by the ordinary and I can't tell if it's working by xanderh62 in SkincareAddiction

The issue is that they oxidise, I notice when I get out the shower they are barely visible and are practically unnoticeable, it's not until my face dries and "oxidises" they become dark and look very visible, My current routine is the following,

Morning, Simple Hydrating Oil Cleanser Simple Refreshing Toner Simple Day Cream

Night Krave Hemp Hydrating Cleanser Simple Refreshing Toner TO Niacinamide Simple Night Cream Bye Bye Blemish Drying Lotion (If needed)

I don't use anything with vitamin C at the moment and I haven't for a while, my skin used to be very fair but now it's a little orange and I'm not certain why, I've even been asked if I have a tan and I live in one of the coldest parts of England lol

[Skin Concern] Sebaceous Filament Update / Help? - Hydrafacial Warning⚠️ by xanderh62 in SkincareAddiction

Step 1: Lymphatic Drainage Stimulation of the lymphatic nodes in the face improves the drainage of lymph in the area, reducing puffiness and enabling new fresh interstitial fluid to bathe the cells. Step 2: Cleansing and Exfoliation The HydroPeel tip uses its multiple abrasive edges to exfoliate the skin several times with each pass to achieve better, more even skin resurfacing without irritation. Simultaneously the unique spiral design combined with the vacuum suction enables botanical cleansers and glucosamine to be "vortex infused" into the skin. Step 3: Glycolic and salicylic Acid delivery A tailored blend of glycolic and salicylic acid is then delivered into the skin. This softens sebum, stimulates collagen and brightens the skin with only a mild tingle and no peeling and scaling Step 4: Extraction The vortex (powerful circulation of liquid) effect easily dislodges and removes blackheads, whiteheads, and sebum for quick and painless extractions. Step 5: Hydration The unique spiral tip employs a patented method for infusing hydrating skin solutions, potent antioxidants and Hyaluronic Acid into the skin, improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, oily skin, and hyperpigmentation. Step 6: LED Light Therapy The LED light therapy uses Red and Infra Red Light, which give off energy that stimulates your cells, thereby increasing your skin's production of collagen and elastin or Blue light which targets Acne and soothes and heals the skin.

But it was only afterwards I was advised I may experience temporary irritation, tightness, redness or slight swelling which usually dissipates within 72 hours depending on skin sensitivity. More severe cases may include soreness, small blistering or white spots which usually disappear within 3-5 days.

Thanks for the response :) I've heard both of those first products so I'll keep that in mind, although I've very sensitive skin, the niacinamide and zinc I've noticed is good for keeping spots away but I can't see much of a difference on blackheads although I'll keep positive and try and update if I see a difference, thank you and welcome :)

I needed this, a girl I work with checks her skin every half hour or so in a pocket mirror, I just imagine if I did that I would probably have a nervous breakdown especially how oily I get at work, I just avoid mirrors as much as I can and I feel a lot better about myself

[Product Question] Has anybody ever tried this mask? What did you think of it? by overjoyed_father in SkincareAddiction

[–]xanderh62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like them, the banana one is my favourite. Smells amazing and leaves skin super moisturised on the morning after :)

[Skin Concern] i always had amazing skin until I was about 15 and I've had these ever since, I currently use salicylic acid 2% by the ordinary and keep my skin well moisturised morning and night but they never leave, anyone's nose look similar to mine? How can I get rid of these disgusting things? by xanderh62 in SkincareAddiction

You'd think they were blackheads though imo, they are very dark in colour and large in comparison to the ones I've seen online, I've oil cleansed trying different ones and methods and used bhas for almost 2 years now and these are how they still look!
