Not all of them do.

Mineral sunscreen because it's more protective. Only with zinc oxide though. Was titanium dioxide not banned?

i'm just staying out of the sun during the hottest hours (10 am to 2pm) and let my skin handle it.

The sunscreens I use are a mix of both, but I do prefer chemical sunscreens as I also make an effort to stay out of the sun.

Gyaru Culture/Fashion Anonymous 20440[Reply]

Anyone else like any Gyaru fashion types? I know there’s a lot but please anyone. I hate the Gyaru Reddit and Gyaru on most other sites are annoying they/them egirl types who get the style wrong. I want Gyaru in its purest form untainted by TikTok or twitter. I know it’s unappealing to some people because most styles are tacky/extreme/or straight up against conventional beauty, but I like it because it feels free and unrestricted by beauty standards. It’s about being crazy and wild so it’s fun. I’ll be dumping Gyaru pics from most styles but if you like Gyaru feel free to add any or we can all discuss Gyaru.

hi nona, im a big gyaru fan too!! have been for a while. so nice to see a thread about this lol
the type of gyaru you seem to like is called manba and ganguro theyre all pretty "extreme" or just well, over the top. my fashion preference when it comes to gyaru fashion is more agejo, goshikku, rokku and oneegyaru..hime is also a really common fashion style which i like too

western skincare in general is pretty fucked.
maybe it changed recently but i remember there was always this huge emphasis on 'removing oils' from your face with aggressive products and scrubbing, when thats actually the worst thing you can do for acne and dryness (and dryness and lack of oils causes acne).
look to the east, you can do really well with basic level toners and stuff from japan or korea.

Asian products are soo much better. I stopped using some western products. I can't always afford it but those months I don't run out of my fullkit its great. I started using less make up over all too and tried to learn some different techiques. They actually care about keeping you youthful in Korea. You get what you pay for.

I love asian skincare products and make up. They all feel so light-weight and still do a great job at keeping my dry skin moisturized. I think the only western products that I still bother to buy for my skin are Cera Ve and some cheap stuff from the drugstore.

Anonymous 20962

They don't give a fuck about what you want, they just want you to buy something and leave the store asap

That's why you do your own research and buy the thing you want instead of relying on customer service

their sunscreens, moisturizers and cleansers are great but toners are just useless shit that do nothing for your face, same as serums and eye patches etc

What are “lesbian beauty standards” anyway? Anonymous 21037[Reply]

Or even bisexual women beauty standards?

All I see on social media are WLW lusting over celebrities (like… Chappel Roan 🤮) and those who are hyperfeminine— it seems as if the taste is no different than your average man’s.

Sometimes, I believe these are fauxbians or “spicy straights” but I think that could be massive cope and seethe on my end .

Women don't really need makeup, it's just the beauty industry trying to convince young girls that they need more chemicals on their face at all times. Same with the health industry telling telling them they need more pills and medication at all times

But women will tear each other down if you DON'T wear makeup.

Meh, don't really use make up, never have, and never had anyone in my life tell me I should put some on except for my mom when I was in hs because she wanted me so bad to be more girly or whatever. I honestly have never seen any other chick being an ass to another woman either irl or online for not wearing make up, has that happened to you, nona? The only type of person I can see doing that are tiktok losers.

wanting to leave, not finding the way out Anonymous 20849[Reply]

how do i find a place to live that i don't dispise, where the people aren't sick and corrupted? i keep hearing how young i look but that's just because i seclude myself from the toxicity that is normal here. i've been wanting to be gone from here for so long but i make very little progress, which is frustrating me, i'm sad all day because of it.i' ve made almost no progress in the last 5 years.

i wish i traveled more when i was younger, i don't know where it is nice. maybe nowhere.

i'd appreciate any bits of advice on how to find a place, preferably on another continent where technology has not wrecked havoc on the human cultures.

Why are fat girls are way meaner to skinny girls than vice versa? I have always been skinny, and while growing up I can confidently, loud and clearly, tell you that fat girls were the meanest people to me in school

>I hope you die skinny bitch

>Skinny girls have no curves
>Skinny girls shouldn't wear bras, you don't even have boobs
>Stop starving yourself and eat a burger
>Do you even eat??? You probably starve yourself lmao
>It's feminine to be thicc and curvy
>You look like a boy
>No man will ever love a woman who doesn't have curves, big tits, wide asses
>Skinny slut (even tho I've never had a BF?????)

It seems like it's socially acceptable to tell a skinny girl all of this, but if you told a fat girl to eat a salad all hell would break loose

They remember that before puberty, it was thin girls calling them all kinds of degrading shit.
It's payback, and thin people shouldn't play innocent. They're notorious for being judgmental to fat people. Harass, bully, assault, molest, ….
Also all insults, but the die skinny bitch, are not really insults.

Thin girl classmate probs legit just thought you were cute and didn't quite understand your physical boundaries or the depth of your bodyshame. She's probably mortified about it in hindsight and this label on a couple of boundary crossings is too extreme, thin women are not men and do not deserve that judgment.

Coming from an average weight girl with no horse in this race - this is completely self evident and easy to understand, which is why skinny girls complaining about mean fat women is obvious humblebragging. If someone is mean to you out of jealousy, it doesn't hurt your feelings, it boosts your ego. You get to feel good about yourself and pity for her. And if that's not enough, you can complain online about how hard it is to be skinny because fat girls are so horrible to you, and you'll get a tonne of validation about how great you are for being skinny and how inferior fat girls are.

Try light makeup like a 'bareface' style, or like how the Japanese do theirs. Use nonvibrant, gentler colors for your make up, like a soft rose or pink peach, and avoid wearing anything very bold. Short nails help too.

Best not to worry to much though, everyone turns ugly eventually, better to focus on your braid, personality, or physical skills

>most men wont even bother with a girl if he doesn't consider her somewhat attractive
Speak for yourself, I got an attractive, athletic, cute, high income guy 100x out my league after only a few months of meeting while I had messy hair, was overweight, saggy tits, and not shaving. You don't have to shove yourself into some shitty box for a man that will only love you while you're not being yourself. Your sense of what type of people men find beautiful is warped. Most people in relationships look painfully average because most humans on earth are average. You only need to worry about appearance if you are pinning after a man that's a literal super model. Look at the girl friends and wives around you, I bet they just look average physically, even if they dress up kinda nice.

Not the nona you replied to but what the fuck? I look just like that, nobody has or will ever pay attention to me. Not that I look bad all the time, I try to dress nicely but I have curly hair for example and curly hair is messy by default. I really do feel like I just can't compete with the average woman.

too discouraged to go to gym/work out Anonymous 20676[Reply]

can any fit/muscular nonas help me? i am a recovered ED patient but i still struggle with working out.

i really like the idea of becoming stronger. i have tried to strength train in the past, but faced three main mental barriers that always lead to me quitting early.

>1.

first and foremost, i find it extremely discouraging because of how much more easily men build muscle. they barely have to do any work and in the first few months will gain strength extremely fast. the first time i started working out, i would go to the gym with my boyfriend on his membership. he blew past me in terms of progress, improving at roughly double my rate, until i was left in the dust. i got gradually more upset and quit.

some time later, i started to go the gym again. this time alone, so i wouldn't have anyone else to compare myself to. i went to planet fitness, so i used the smith machine for bench, squats, and deadlifts. i also used the bicep curl machine, free-weights, bar for deadhangs and pullups, pulleys, and treadmill. but i stil felt like i was improving extremely slowly. i wasn't noticing any benefits to strength training; everyday objects weren't noticeably easier to move/carry and i was unhappier with myself than before. at that point i felt like the psychic damage and time investment of 3-4 days/week wasn't worth it. some days i could run farther without stopping but that's about it. it gave me the impression that as a small woman, i'm simply not made to get stronger or build muscle. which makes me feel pretty sad and inferior.

>2.

like i said, i have a history of eating disorders and i'm about 90% recovered (back at a healthy bmi for years and don't restrict/binge). but when i am supposed to eat a lot of protein and be in a calorie surplus, it still fucks me up. i feel like i can see my body get bigger and am afraid that i'll never be able to lose that weight during the cut. i don't idealize thinness anymore, and would like my body to look more toned, muscular, and stronger. i would feel more proud of a having strong body vs. having my current average office-worker body for the rest of my life.

>3.

many people say that exercise improves your mood, but when i go to the gym i just end up feeling pretty bad. i dread going, i don't like feeling the physical pain from running/lifting, and i am disappointed with my performanPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

i see you have chosen to compare yourself to others. this is absolute poison and it will ruin any attempt at improving your situation. don't dwell on what you believe is other people having it easy, this will only cripple you. if you have to, try to satisfy your negative habit of comparison with how many reps or minutes YOU did last time.

>i wasn't noticing any benefits to strength training;


i think strength training is stupid in general. if you lift heavy stuff often or pull a plow on the field by hand, you get stronger naturally. strength tries to keep up with how much you demand of yourself in your life.

>everyday objects weren't noticeably easier to move/carry and i was unhappier with myself than before. at that point i felt like the psychic damage and time investment of 3-4 days/week wasn't worth it.


3-4 days/week? that's quite a lot for someone who has not built the habit. way too much. try once a week and ease into it over the time.

>some days i could run farther without stopping but that's about it. it gave me the impression that as a small woman, i'm simply not made to get stronger or build muscle. which makes me feel pretty sad and inferior.


don't feel inferior, this is psychology from the conveyorbelt designed to turn you into a mindless peon, don't agree with it by practicing destructive modes of relation like competition. you are you whether you like it or not so make the best of it. you can absolutely get stronger and more physically able and it is worth it.

lol the men are just crabs in bucket mentality with that shit. Most of them bully each other to steroids. Do not mind them.

Anonymous 20993

1. Men don’t build muscle all that much faster. Most gym newbies will gain no matter what routine they’re doing, provided their diet is formulated towards muscle growth. Most of the time that’s where the issue is. Protein is the most important macro, everything else is secondary. Most women only get about 40 grams of protein a day, aim for 100.

2. You don’t really need to be in a calorie surplus to build muscle. If you’re eating at maintenance and just changing macros, you’ll see recomp.

3. Honestly the best thing you can do for your fitness is finding something you can adhere to and actually enjoy. Like I hate running, so I swim for cardio. I love swimming, so I actually stick to it. It also sounds like you’re doing a ton of stuff you probably don’t need to. Something simple like Starting Strength which could get you in and out in 30 minutes would probably be better than a bunch of random machines and other stuff.
