/hb/ - Health & Beauty

Some of these are a bit retarded. It looks like this post was made by a moid.
>No onlyfans
>No piercings
>No tattoos
God knows these aren't typical beauty routines. If you're larper moid go back to /r9k/, if you're a woman consider educating yourself

>>22390
Wanted to add that I think tattoos are beautiful, I don't have any because I'm a coward who has trouble making definite decisions.
>>22373
A lot of those are unnecessarily judgemental, I don't do beauty routines because I'm lazy, not because I'd look down on anyone who puts actual effort in their appearance.
I actually didn't read past the lip filler thing before tbh, I don't know what those are
>no instagram
That's not a beauty routine…
>>22401
You're probably right, the onlyfans thing looks like a dead giveaway. I've never met anyone who does onlyfans or anything like that but I have certainly seen rightoid incels believing that every single woman is a sex worker.

I personally think it's more of a flex to look good without all of that. if you need fillers/extreme makeup/etc to look good then you don't actually look good. that's why I invest much more in my skincare and personal grooming.

>What would be the point of brainwashing someone to do that

Because it aligns with the broader programming we receive; the more converging factors there are, the harder it is to break that programming. The general message we're sent is "you are a unique individual, and the way you express that individuality is by buying something someone else made." Tattoos are one of many commodities we can buy to supposedly express individuality, except that standards have slipped enough that the only way a tattoo can stand out now is if you get it on your face.

Another theory of mine is that tattoos make you a lot easier to identify, so it probably helps law enforcement when you get tattoos.

I feel like the motivation to get tattoos comes from the same part of the brain that makes people give their children shitty names like tragedeigh
like it's a semi permanent way to show "individuality" that's more important to the person than the negatives, such as broader social disapproval (which is what makes it trashy)

But it isn't always trashy. Tattoos can be culturally consistent and be appropriate for certain groups. Yakuza are an extreme example but I wouldn't cringe if it's congruent with whatever the person does. I think it also has to be a bit of a flex to break social norms while still being tolerated or accepted - it actually requires more social skill than most have. Which is also when it's less trashy.

sometimes уоu want tо show оff your lеgs, nоt the entirety of your crotch.

>>22302
then wear shorts

>>22409
that would be inappropriate at the evening show or whatever bullshit
although maybe the woman in the op thread would benefit from safety shorts

you try to make it better a little bit, then you get tired of having body dysmorphia

weirdly doing lsd cured by BD because I realized that I look beautiful like the women in ancient art and that healthy female bodies are representations of the goddess. but-on another note, i would focus on realizing that the expectations for women are just made to control us, limit mobility and take up mental energy. men can just-exist, but we have the expectation to be made up and look unrealistic. stop going on the internet completely for like a month, ik it’s hard but it’s helpful. the thoughts you have about your body aren’t yours, they were implanted in you by companies trying to sell you shit. everything people say is also their own pornsick/consumerist thoughts. it’s really hard and feels painful but your own rejection of these lies will serve to liberate other women too by setting an example. your body is meant to be lived in, it is not ornamental.

How much protein are you eating?
No cardio?
>>21832
I've been getting into it these past few months (I was too heavy before) with the Couch to 5K program. It's getting to the point where it is enjoyable.

I've been kicking ass in the gym lately and it's starting to show in my arms. I'm happy but I want more! I still don't look like I workout yet.

>>22322
I do not keep track of my protein intake. I try not to eat too much because I'm trying not to get big. I do cardio every day I'm at the gym (that's the 30 min incline walk), HR gets up to like 170-180 usually

>>22342
different nona, but you can't get big doing cardio.

I've been getting a lot stronger at the gym. My legs are definitely looking better. I can see progress in my arms, but I'm not big enough for anyone else to notice yet.

>>21174
I wish I wasn't a B.

>>21847
you coffee drinking, bread-eating normies
Dangerously based
I banned bread and sugar from my life and never looked back, but only half a watermelon wouldn't even get me halfway through the morning. A trip to Turkey years ago redpilled me about rice, salmon and yogurt breakfasts.

>I've also seen a 20 year old with big boobs and high roots/high projection whose tits reached their belly button.
Me. They've been like this since I was like 13. Sucks.
People don't really bother me about them though, I stopped wearing bras in my 20s and have always worn a lot of jackets so rather than my boobs standing out, I just look fat. I used to really hate my breasts, especially when my fucking school made me do long distance running (I AM NOT BUILT FOR RUNNING FUCK OFFF it makes my breasts hurt if I don't wear like 2 uncomfy sport bras I hate bras so much and I hate running even more why is it considered the default sport, I'd rather swim and cycle a triathlon distance, I'd rather climb a fucking mountain and sword fight a yeti, every single other sport is a million times better, I bet my ancestors were doing heavy lifting and working the fields instead of running after wild animals) but I feel better about them now.
My breasts are floppy af so I avoid running (if I need to go somewhere fast, I'll cycle, inline skate or steal someone's horse; if I sprint I legit have to hold my breasts steady with one arm and I'll be running straight to whoever made me run so I can fucking murder them) but most of the time I just ignore them, just like my nose. Just tuning it out of my peripheral vision. I've thought about getting a reduction (I think insurance would cover it at my size) but I don't have the guts to get surgery if it's not life-saving in some way and since my shitty breasts have kinda grown on me, it's not that big of a deal to just keep things the way they are. My breasts don't really give me back pain tbh, but bras do. I used to have some back pain even though I worked out, but since I stopped wearing bras, it's gotten much better. Idk if I could also attribute it to starting to go to the gym around that time, but I really feel like not wearing bras made a difference. My breasts also feel more comfortable and natural to me when I'm not wearing a bra. I really should've done this sooner, idk how I used to stand wearing them through the night as a teen, I guess I just thought that that's what I was supposed to do back then.

can we stop using unrealistic illustrations by moids

I love having a medium sized chest. Big enough not to be flat, small enough it doesn't affect my back and doesn't sag to the floor.

There's scar gels sold online and at your local pharmacy. I've never tried it so I can't opine on its efficacy but I think they're for recent scars or surgical procedures you might want to check that out. If it's seriously fucked up scars then I've known women to get a tattoo to cover up a bad scar from a car crash and another that got light teeny tiny scars tattooed with her skin color like others do with their eyebrows. You could also try cocoa butter some say it works others say it don't, some say it works for stretch marks others don't and in any case the scar gels are supposed to be better.

>>22380
Yeah I'm thinking laser, I've tried so many exfoliating products and it only does so much.

How bad can it be? Are you a sk8ergrrl or rollerblader? And is it the accumulation over time of shaving nips or are you cutting far and long with the razor? It sounds like you're shaving dry. Have you ever seen a dermatologist about it?

It's a photo. Iit's airbrushed and filtered. Most people don't have perfect legs.

i just clean them out w a wet q tip

>When I get depressed and don’t shower as much,

Here is your problem. Wash your pussy more often.

Dermatologist. They do or have someone that does glycolic peels or whatever else they recommend.

At home? Face scrub twice a week and a good facial cleanser but they'll always come back because they're supposed to be there. She has large pores so it's slightly more noticeable but only up close and you've got to be looking for it.

Huh, my face doesn't look likethat. Maybe cause Inever saw sun in my entire life and I use tretionoin.

Oh yeah, use tretinoin and azelaic acid.

Someone's going to think this is stupid but whatever.

It was a totally decent cut & color, but when talking about restaurants she made a joke about spitting in people's food in a way that gave me such an icky vibe about who she was as a person.

When I was 16 I wanted to have orange hair, mine was really long and voluminous but instead of telling me it'd be impossible or that it'd take many sessions, they decided to do it all in one go. They started bleaching it from the top but by the time they got to the tips my scalp was fucking burning, like it was legit smoking. They rinsed it and then finished she process but for like the next 5-ish years, maybe more, that area of my scalp (back of my head) would feel gooey and my hair would grow as if perpetually humid.

>>22004
Did you at least like the orange hair?

They lie to you about the prices.

>>21884
I went to check out some hair salons, saw the prices, noticed that they'd charge me more for being a woman, then I left and asked one of my friends to cut my hair instead. She did a good job.
I later found a salon that has equal pricing, no further problems.

They're probably just holding the pudge back with their stomach muscles. I have a flat stomach while lying down, but standing up there's a little bit of pudge unless I hold it back (which I do bc I'm self-conscious of it as well).

flat stomach girl here, straight up its from not eating. i take adhd meds which makes me forget to eat/it does some weird metabolic shit and drink a lot of coffee which makes me shit after eating. no woman’s stomach is gonna be flat like a man’s due to where the uterus is also how is your posture?

The only time I had a flat stomach was when I was dangerously underweight. It's just not possible for some of us.

Have to keep working more and losing more, you just need more muscle holding the other tissues, i think leg ups while alternating sides helped me, but i still see it when i sit down.
