does anybody have good skincare products for rlly sensitive skin? I clean my face everyday and I still have acne and all the "popular good" brands give me rashes so its really hard for someone like me to have clear skin.

The only things that work against acne are retinoids

Yes cleansers are good for aiding but virtually all cosmetic skincare is useless for acne if not paired with retinoid medication

To adress what others have said: while eating 'clean" helps gut health and yadda yadda, it will not impact your skin THAT much, it will not clear up your acne, as food doesn't control our oil production but hormones do.

That's why a lot of women have breakouts during/before period, that's when our oil production skyrockets. And most adult men don't have acne because their hormones don't change the same way ours do, so they can eat like shit and they won't have painful cystic acne from it.

god-tier japanese brands that have saved my skin: gyokujun (affordable) and curel (more expensive)

Anonymous 21186

i 100% recommend the blue line from pyunkang yul. i have extremely sensitive skin prone to cystic acne and hyperpigmentation and that line (in addition to the skin 1004 centella line) has been the best for my skin. PKY blue line products have no fragrances and are very gentle and i think you’d benefit. plus super cheap (around $8-10USD for their products which is much cheaper than popular kbeauty brands)

If you can afford it, I’ve had a good experience with products from Avene. On the more affordable side, you really can’t go wrong with Vanicream.

Sun tanning. Just get the normal recommended amount of sun and that’s it. Pale is beautiful.

Curly Hair Care/Tips Anonymous 22036[Reply]

Saw there was a general haircare thread but wanted to start one for any Curly haired Nonas.

I would love any product/care tips that aren't going to cost me an arm and a leg I consider it a miracle that I just managed to find a stylist in my area charging <$200.

I have type 3 curls and low porosity hair along with living in a place thats pretty humid all the time, so I tend to prefer products that prioritize hold and frizz control if anyone has any suggestions.

LA Looks gel. It's less than $5 and does pretty good in humidity. For type 3 hair people go with hold level #10 or the blue one.

Also, look into products with less humectants so they don't draw the water from the air into your hair.

I've thinking about getting into peptides eventually for skincare. Very underrated option for women as an alt to regular products or just straight up surgery. For now I just want topical rigin and injectable ghk-cu but pal-ahk and snap-8 seem to have good benefits as well. I've seen good results like tighter smaller pores this past month from topically applying deer antler velvet cream. I suspect it increases cell overturn through the IGF-1 (growth factor hormone) it contains.

I had to stop using moisturizer for a few months and my skin got really dry and my wrinkles got deeper. It's probably fine if you don't wear makeup that needs to be removed daily.

I tried to quit coffee but I miss the bitter taste too much. Hmm maybe I should alternate between it and other drinks. I probably have some mineral deficiencies too because last night I wanted to eat something chalky and cigs.
I like dates… so sweet in a controlled manner. They should make more variants of date chocolates.
I really love cherry tomatoes. I think they motivate me to eat better for some reason. I need to buy gooseberries.

The real solution is a consistent sleep schedule but that's like the one thing almost no one can do without significant discipline. I also heard working out makes you more energetic but I'm too tired to exercise so it's a vicious cycle.

I googled convict condition routine handstand but didn't really find anything. I'm making progress, but I think I'm limited by strength.

Anonymous 21716

Its a book called Convict Conditioning by Paul Wade. It gives you a progression plan to do handstand pushups, but since you just want to do handstands I guess it helps too. It discusses how to develop balance so that you can do them away from a wall and eventually do free handstand push ups. If strength is a problem you could always do pike pushups to get the feel of manipulating your weight through you shoulders and triceps

what is the correlation between her mom forcing her to buzzcut her hair and her being a pick me?? like genuinely how did you manage to leap to that conclusion lmao. and even if her mom was a radical feminist, she isnt practicing it correctly because the whole point of feminism is for woman to have full control and decision making when it comes to their mind and bodies- that includes hair. how is it radical feminism for a mother to force her adult daughter to get a buzzcut??

>Men rape you twice as fast as they normally would when you are fat
Wait, really? I was at my heaviest last year and lost 20kg, but gained like 9 back this year. Was really struggling to find motivation because I'll see shit about men being abusive or preying on women and my mind goes "Why would I want to lose weight and become pretty then, that'd only make me an easier target" so I forgo my diet again, even though I do want to lose weight. But if what you say is true then maybe I should, just so I don't look like someone they can take advantage of, or something, I don't know.

Anonymous 22002

It may be somewhat true. Abusers go for the vulnerable, which being fat is often a sign of. (lack of confidence, neuroticism, trauma, etc) Girls who were abused are both likelier to become fat and get abused again.

Anonymous 22003

I am but it's not so bad, I've recently been losing some weight too so I'm even less fat but it's never been bad enough that it affects my movement or anything like that. It's not too hard to hide the belly, either.

raw veganism Anonymous 22142[Reply]

there is raw vegan lore that goes as far as to say cooked food in general makes people sick and raw fruits and vegetables heal. i do believe that too but i don't care about arguing this with anyone; waste of time and life is short. the information is out there, look for it, make up your own mind. if you don't believe it then don't, it is your health, take responsibility while i fake-cough to pretend to be sick of vitamin B12 deficiency to mock you.

if this is right however then
>people who cook food are criminals who make people intentionally sick from the caring mother to the professional chef
>restaurants and ice cream parlors are places where people are made sick
>supermarkets are mostly in the business of ruining people's health
>convenient affordable fast food might be an advanced weapon of war deployed against peoples

if i was a rich evil doctor, i'd open up an ice cream shop in the small town i live in and make real good ice cream for chap and then people would get sick and i'd have more work as a doctor.

I read something a long time ago that suggested adjusting your diet to your blood type, or region. I've noticed with all the ex vegan testimonies I have seen, they are usually white or asian people. Brown people in the tropics can live on fruits and veggies without claiming to be malnourished or sick from it for some reason, but I still would never consider a child to be vegan due to people harming their health.
