switched my routine from simple lush products with neutrogena/spf moisturizer to paulas choice cleanser & exfoliant and i've been breaking out bad.
recently bought some snail mucin to fade the scaring. this is really sad i wanted this to work for me so bad but i might just go back to using angels and bare skin.
i don't think it's my skin purging either it's been 3 weeks...
Lincoln Jackson
So I bought Neutrogena Hydro Boost Moisturiser, I like it.
I then bought 'Kiehl's Ultra Light Daily UV Defense Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 50ml'. Wtf i is brown and runny/thin.
You are supposed to apply that sunscreen with a cotton pad. Were you just trying to rub it into your skin using your hands or some shit?
John Gutierrez
Yeah I put some on my fingers. But still I don't like how it is all brown and runny, will it not colour my skin? I really like the texture of hydro boost in comparison.

It just seems like such a womans product.. What do you lads use for sunscreen?
Thomas Morris
has anyone here ever tried korean skincare or even the korean 10 steps skincare program?
Noah Ward
do you mean swallowing raw garlic because if so...I've done it and it works great
Nicholas Cruz
There is literally zero difference between skincare for men and women, what the fuck are you on about? Do you think that using a cotton pad to gently distribute a lotion across your skin instead of blindly smearing it everywhere with your dirty fucking fingers is somehow going to make you lose your masculinity?
Michael Stewart
>There is literally zero difference between skincare for men and women, what the fuck are you on about?
You should try reading. Try looking up how testosterone affects skin thickness, or sebum composition. Or the sex differences in acne, dry skin, dermatitis, and rosacea. And learning what skin disorders are caused by pregnancy, and what issues women can get during periods and menopause. And how differences in body hair and its composition affects grooming and skincare.
you may also even learn why it's more important for women to use sunscreen
My face is dry as fuck and dont really like cleansers as they seem to dry it even more. Is there a reason you should always use one though?
Chase Nelson
A facial cleanser... get this.... "cleanses" your facial skin! This means it gets rid off all the dirt and garbage that collects inside your pores that you won't normally get to with just some water and a washcloth which keeps your skin young and healthy!
Also use a fucking moisturizer afterwards, of course your face will feel dry immediately after you cleansed it, that's perfectly normal no matter what your skin type is like.
Josiah Roberts

ive tried tons of different products (cleanser, toner, spot treatment, and moisturizer) with differing ingredients but acne wont stop coming. sometimes its improved with those products, but as of right now its the worst its been in my life. im just gonna try cetaphil cleanser and nothing else to see if a gentle approach will work rather than a ton of those chemicals. if that doesnt solve anything after about a month ill just go see a fucking derm. my twin brother uses literally nothing and has way better skin than me. life is unfair lol.
they can be drying. i use a sunscreen with alcohol (Biore UV perfect milk) but it's worth it for me because the texture of it is amazing. i just use extra moisturizer at night.

Can I get some advice on dealing with cold sores? I woke up this morning with 3 blisters on my lower lip :(
Colton Flores
what do i do about the lines inside my forearms? is it just genetic?
Jose Flores
I started treating my self-diagnosed rosacea+seborrea with a face wash and a face cream. I chose them carefully, avoiding all the ingredients that were listed as bad. The wash burned like hell, and the cream's box subtly warned not to apply around my eyes. I ignored that advice. Two days later, all the redness and flakiness was gone, but I had some sort of criss-cross wrinkles under my eyes I had not had before, it's still there. What did I do boys? Google yielded nothing. Will this be permanent? I'm only 24.
Camden Bailey
Try an oil cleanser user you might be drying your skin out with your current one
Lucas Butler
don't be mad at the truth
Evan Jenkins
After I apply an ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
Ian Edwards
I have forehead wrinkles. How do I get rid of them?
Samuel Peterson
I bought Stridex in the red box and just used it tonight and it kinda hurts my face. Is this normal?
Also do I put on Kikumasamune high moist lotion before or after the stridex?
Gabriel Gonzalez
>tfw bought more Biore Mild Care Milk sunscreen It's simply the best chemical sunscreen ever. SPF not too high at 30 PA++, and the thing feels great on your face.
However my latest order isn't in my mailbox despite being over 7 weeks since it shipped from Japan.
Is Canadian customs keking me up along with fellow Asian mail shipments? Or did the customs seize my item because it's a sunscreen with unapproved sunscreen ingredients in Canada? I hope the dumbass seller didn't declare it as sunscreen.
I ordered another one from Amazon.com shipping from the US, but at twice the price you'd pay from eBay. Hope that one arrives quick enough
Isaiah Thomas
>chick >her i see balls wat r u talkin about am i wrong?
Owen Turner
There's a reason that warning was there. The skin around your eyes is far too thin and sensitive for aggressive shit like that. You probably scared it, it's not necessarily permanent, really almost nothing is, but it can take quite a while to get rid off naturally.
Joshua Howard
recently got sick and broke out around my eyes and forehead for some fucking reason
is putting cum on your face overnight a meme? not gay btw
Samuel King
I’m 23 now and still get acne on my cheeks sometimes. When I was going through puberty I’d get it all over my face: cheeks, nose, chin, forehead. So I’m pretty sure this is just because of contact with my pillow now. Other than changing pillow case often and trying to sleep on my back, any recs on how to avoid face contact with pillow?
Nathan Bell
try it and let us know
Jeremiah Davis
wrap your face in a plastic bag before bed as a barrier
Joshua Morales
well... i do it maybe twice a week so results may vary. I have very oily skin, it gets specially oily now that it's warmer; i use semen as an overnight mask and i found out that in the morning, it's drier and some pimples seem smaller and not as red. Then i rinse it off with water obviously.
may be due to the estrogen and zinc in the cum tho...
Robert Taylor
Might be too harsh for your skin. Your skin is probably more delicate. Put the Kiku after stridex.
Luke Collins
Yes, low sugar diet (carbs too, they get converted into glucose). Best diet for your skin, tried it for a month, skin cleared up so much, but found the diet too restrictive, missed eating fruit.
Jayden Perry
Can attest to an oil cleanser, a lot less drying than other cleansers. Make sure to use it on a DRY face, took me a while to learn that...
Grayson Sullivan
should I try the stridex sensitive in the green box? it's .5% salicylic acid instead of 2% in the red box one and it has no menthol.
nvm i was wrong it's just kelly divine she got some FAT lips tho
Evan Robinson
I've heard that you can get amazing results by applying a silver solution and then aloe to moisturize. Any experiences?
Robert Hughes
so in order, do you apply exfoliator (not every day), cleanser, then astringent/toner, then moisturise (on damp skin)? and its just trial and error finding the right combination of products?
Julian Walker
any dudes out there with freckles?
what's your routine?
what's just a good routine in general?
Ryder Jenkins
Own them
Colton Ross
i mean yeah, but like, i'm 22 and forehead wrinkles are starting to build.
Thomas Allen
Anyone know how to reduce noticeable pores?
Adrian Nguyen
rate my routine. (my skin issue is acne, still not 100% clear but its looking better than before I started)
AM >Cerave hydrating cleanser >Thayer's witch hazel unscented toner >mad hippie vitamin c serum >avene eau thermale emulsion >missha sun essence
PM >badger argan face cleansing oil >cerave cleanser >thayers toner >wait 20 min then apply tretinoin .05% cream
The moisturizer emulsion and the spf are the only items that have comedogenic ingredients but I was not able to find spf or moisturizer that was completely noncomedogenic
Daniel Myers
who here /vegan/? skin feels a lot more better + looks smoother and clearer after dropping dairy and red meat especially
People on here say you should always apply sunscreen on your face. Would pic related be good for the face? If not what sort of sunscreen am I looking for?
How do you anons deal with spots on the daily? I've heard about those patches that you can apply, but never really tried them.
I've been trying to drop dairy, but have been struggling with finding an alternative to milk. Any suggestions?
Leo Martin
Get something non comedegonic
Michael Taylor
Stop smoking.
Christian Ortiz
Soy milk is what I usually get (get the unsweetened variety or it will be loaded with sugar), but I've seen pea, cashew, almond, and coconut milk (and more). Some kinds are better for different things, almond milk is better in coffee that soymilk, for example
Henry Long
Someone give me a quick rundown on charcoal meme
Carter Morgan
do you eat vegan yogurt? i love Greek yogurt so much and i can't find anything that has the texture of it, most vegan yogurts I've tried are very thin. and loaded with sugar. :/
James Richardson
Can someone redpill me on Japanese skincare products?
Michael Brooks
inb4 soyboy but
how do i get around to slowing down beard growth? I would totally be down to growing a beard but it grows out in neckbeard mode. I'm out here having to shave every 3 days and it blows. Should I get my face waxed or something?
Matthew Allen
If shaving every 3 days is enough you already have very slow beard growth. Most people shave daily, or at least every other day. Either suck it up, it's a perfectly normal thing almost all adult men deal with, or get your face lasered and say goodbye to beard hair forever. Just keep in mind that it's permanent and should you want longer sideburns or the like in the future you'd be fucked.
Adrian Hall
once daily in the shower i've been rinsing my face with water, then using cleanser with a cotton pad, washing that off and using a facial wash, and then drying and using a moisturiser. however i've been getting even more spots than before when i was simply using a face wash in the shower every day.
could this be because i'm touching my face a lot more when spreading the moisturiser? or the moisturiser is just too greasy and clogs my skin up? cause it does feel too greasy
Adam King
Laser isn't permanent at all
Adrian Brooks
Tattoos aren't either.
Austin Gutierrez
fortunately legit yogurt like greek and balkan, is high in protein and the beneficial bacteria make it easy to digest so less imflammation. also heard that better gut flora helps weight loss/maintenance
Nicholas Adams
why are you using 2 cleansers? it's unnecessary and will dry your skin out unless you wear a lot of makeup. also washing in the shower might be making your skin irritated if the water is hot or shampoo is getting on your face. i would say wash only at the sink with one gentle cleanser. ditch the cotton pad.
Joshua Russell
any specific moisturiser types i should look out for if i have sensitive/dry skin? the nivea for men one i use now normally makes me feel greasy as though it doesn't do my skin any good and just clogs it up.
should i bother with a toner or exfoliation at all?
John Butler
Is there any way to remove all my facial hair at home? Right now I use a safety razor but my hair especially on my jaw just will not come off and there are these short stubbly hairs that will not go away. I want a perfectly smooth face.
Christian Wilson
I use a normal cartridge razor and shave every second day. I start by going with the grain and then against and it gives me a very smooth finish. Some people claim that shaving against the grain causes in-grown hairs but I've not had any yet
Evan Price
What do you skin care experts do?
I want a tan but I don't want cancer,wrinkles,aging.
will using sunscreen daily keep my skin pastey? I figure the small amount of direct sun I get a day (1hr max) isn't too damaging.
What sunscreen would you recommend that doesn't leave a white cast nor makes my face look super greasy? I have tried Biore and for whatever reason it makes my face look so oily, it's not usually nearly that oily. I have also tried La Roche Posay Anthelios and while I really like how it feels on my face it usually leaves a white cast.
Samuel Harris
how long will it take for these spot scars to go away or are they permo? how can I get rid of them?
Guys I've been getting flaky white skin under my lower lip so I stopped cleansing it and just apply it to the other parts of my face. I still apply moisturizer to it though, specifically MUJI Moisturizing Milk. But then that shit started turning red and seemed to be irritated all the time so I stopped everything on that area. It's like I'm missing layers of skin there. What the hell do I do?
I use MUJI Face Soap if that matters.
Nathaniel Gray
I'm getting bacne and it sucks. I'm controlling it by changing shirts after gym after washing off a bit, then showering as soon as I'm home. However, around my shoulders and upper back is all I can reach. I can't cleanse my lower back or most of it at all actually. What do you guys do for this?
Austin Hall
Is there any value in using Benzoyl Peroxide just once per day? Or does it really need to be morning and night?
Gabriel Walker

Try the Nivea UV Milky Essence SPF50+, the Japanese one. I find it completely invisible, no white cast or oiliness, but my face is on the drier side anyway.

If I use a salicylic acid face wash and don't wear sunscreen am I going to fuck my face up or is it just SPF Jew fear mongering?
Hunter Davis
Depends on your location Is it sunny where you live?
